SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following items are applicable to this modification:

AMENDMENT 0014

Amendment 0014 – Request for XSBI Proposals: The purpose of this amendment is to open the X-Side Ballistic Insert (XSBI) plate variant portion of the RFP to a Full and Open competition basis and revise the Table 5 XSBI weight bands provided in attachment 8 of Section J.

Background. The VTP FRP program includes four (4) plate variants: Enhanced Small Arms Protective Insert (ESAPI), X-Small Arms Protective Insert (XSAPI), Enhanced Side Ballistic Insert (ESBI), and X-Side Ballistic Insert (XSBI). The Government originally solicited the ESBI and XSBI variants as total small business set asides, with proposals (for all variants) originally due in March 2018. No small businesses proposed on the XSBI variant at that time. As a result, in May 2018 via Amendment 13, the Government opened the competition for the XSBI variant to the specific large business offeror(s) that proposed on and were eligible for the ESAPI an XSAPI variants.

No large business that originally proposed on the ESAPI and XSAPI variant proposed on the XSBI variant by the August 2018 due date set by Amendment 13. Based on this background (small businesses and certain large businesses having already had an opportunity to compete for the XSBI variant), in order to increase competition, and to identify a supplier to fulfil this important Army requirement, the Government is hereby opening competition for the XSBI variant to all interested firms. All small business and all large businesses - whether they have proposed on any variant previously or not, and whether previously excluded from the VTP FRP competition or not – are invited to propose for the XSBI variant.

Instructions and Deadlines. Proposals for the XSBI variant shall be submitted in accordance with the Section L submittal instructions. XSBI proposals should be stand-alone proposals, containing all information and volumes required by this Solicitation, regardless if an offeror has previously proposed on another variant. The XSBI proposals will be evaluated and awarded on a separate timeline and as an independent competition of all other plate variants. All other terms and conditions of the RFP remain unchanged, with the addition of the clarifying comments discussed below. XSBI proposals in response to this amendment (which include applicable bid samples, dry layups, etc.) are required by Thursday, 7 February 2019 at 3:00pm Eastern.

Solicitation Clarification.

Notwithstanding any other language in the Solicitation, the Government is not performing cost realism or price realism analysis as part of the base contracts evaluation or award decision.

If an Offeror cannot meet the Government’s small business goals, it should include the reason(s) for this shortcoming in its Small Business Participation Plan. The Government reserves the right to make award to an offeror that does not anticipate meeting the small business goals for the solicitation.

Period for Questions. All questions regarding this request for XSBI proposals shall be submitted via email to George Hubbard at george.b.hubbard5.civ@mail.mil. The cut-off date and time for XSBI-related questions is 3:00 pm Eastern Time on Friday, 7 December 2018. The Government may or may not answer questions submitted after this time.
