In addition to the content requirements specified in FAR 52.219-9, plans shall include a statement that block 15 of the Individual Subcontract Plan Report (ISR) and Summary Subcontract Report (SSR) will contain the e-mail addresses of the Contracting Officer, Contract Specialist and the Office of Small Business Programs Aberdeen Proving Ground (OSBP- APG), Huachuca Division (Daniel.j.octaviano.civ@army.mil). Offerors may submit an approved commercial plan, master plan, or if they are in the Department of Defenses (DoD) Comprehensive Subcontracting Test Program (CSP), their currently negotiated CSP. The Government will not specify small business subcontracting goals, including those for socio-economic programs, for this requirement. However, Offerors shall provide rationale if socio-economic program goals are not proposed. To demonstrate proposed subcontracting effort and dollars planned at the IDIQ contract level, Offerors shall use the basic contract ceiling value of $800 million dollars with an equal distribution of anticipated funding obligations for each of the five annual ordering periods (i.e., awarded order dollar obligations). The apparently successful Offerors SBSP shall be assessed for acceptability, or the need to be negotiated, in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 requirements and must be determined as acceptable by the Contracting Officer. The SBSP is a material requirement of the solicitation and will be incorporated into any resulting contract. A SBSP deemed unacceptable shall preclude an Offeror from being eligible for contract award. To the extent there is any overlapping content between an Offerors proposed SBSP and its proposed Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) (see Section L.14.5 below), the overlapping content must be consistent for the SBSP to be deemed as acceptable.

M. Joint Venture/Teaming Arrangement. (The Joint Venture/Teaming Information spreadsheet (Section J, Attachment 0067) is excluded from the page count; however, descriptions of each team member's role are limited to 650 characters for each description, not counting spaces.)

(i) Each Offeror shall provide, if applicable, a summary describing the Joint Venture /Teaming Arrangement established for this RFP and documentation evidencing the legal relationship among the joint venture/teaming parties.

(ii) Offerors shall include in the Section J, Attachment 0067, Joint Venture/Teaming Information, a listing of the percentage of work to be performed by the Prime and each subcontractor and a description of the respective roles relative to each PWS paragraph. For planning purposes, Offerors shall refer to Section J, Attachment 0068, "Estimated Work Breakout," that identifies the Government's estimated distribution of PWS requirements for the entire TEIS IV Program.

N. Quality Control Plan. (25 page limit for plan, excluding checklists)

The Offeror shall describe, in detail, the proposed quality of the services provided under this contract, and the manner in which they are monitored are of concern to the Government. The plan shall include, at a minimum:

(i) Objectives that are part of the Offerors organizational quality policy;

(ii) Actions that support the objectives and are required for establishing controls, setting standards, establishing measurement methods, and implementing the quality control measures;

(iii) The proposed management approach that will ensure adherence to the plan, capture performance and contract metrics, and ensure a high quality of performance in the execution of task orders in terms of cost, schedule, and technical performance requirements;

(iv) Description of monitoring and surveillance measures including any checklists if available.

(v) Description of how the corporate office will support on-site quality control efforts.

(vi) Description of the process and contractor personnel that will be utilized to monitor contract activities and identify, in a timely manner, problem areas and recommend solutions.

For your information, the Government intends for the TEIS IV Quality Control Plan and checklist(s) to be used as the basis for task order- specific plans and checklist(s). Contractors may be required to develop task-order-specific quality control plans and checklist(s) as task order deliverables.

O. If Major subcontractor data required under this Volume I - General is considered proprietary, it may be sent directly to the Government. The Prime is responsible for ensuring that all Major subcontractor information submitted directly to the Government is received in accordance with the instruction at RFP Section L.10.

2. VOLUME 2 - TECHNICAL FACTOR

This volume shall be sufficiently specific, detailed, and complete to demonstrate clearly and fully that the Offeror has a thorough understanding and knowledge of the various technical solutions to perform the broad requirements for worldwide U.S. Army Information Systems Engineering Command (USAISEC) Total Engineering and Information Systems (TEIS) IV requirements.

Unnecessarily elaborate or lengthy proposals are not desired. Simply stating that the Offeror understands and will perform the listed functions is inadequate. Paraphrasing the Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Sample Tasks (or parts thereof) is similarly inadequate, as are phrases such as "standard procedures will be employed" or "well-known techniques will be used." In the Management Plan, Offerors shall address how they will be concurrently performing multiple tasks, worldwide. Proposals that merely mimic the PWS may result in a lower rating.

The Technical Volume consists of the following two subfactors:

A. Sample Task Subfactor - The Offeror shall address each of the three Sample Tasks provided as Section J, Attachments ATT022 Sample Task Cybersecurity Pkg.docx, ATT051, Sample Task- Satellite Communications.docx, and ATT059, Sample TaskTechnologies.docx of the RFP. In accordance with the instructions provided with each Sample Task, the Offeror shall provide a narrative response describing their technical approach, along with supporting documents as described in each of the Sample Tasks.

B. Management Subfactor - The Offerors shall describe their proposed management and staffing approaches and management tools and systems intended for use throughout the performance of the contract. The Management subfactor is composed of the following elements:

(i) Management Plan (30-page limit for plan). The Management Plan shall present the management approach, techniques, and controls to include, at a minimum:

a. The proposed approach for work distribution between Offerors and their subcontractors;

b. Description of Offerors proposed methodologies for managing the execution of multiple concurrent tasks performed at various locations around the world;

c. The approach for conflict resolution, to include a description of steps that will be taken to maintain a harmonious working relationship within the Contractor workforce, its team members, and between the Contractor and Government personnel;

d. The approach for knowledge distribution to include sharing information with the Government and subcontractors;

e. Description of the Offeror's approach to change management and continuous process and service improvement. This description should include a discussion on how improvement initiatives will be captured and addressed and how such initiatives will be considered for contract-wide implementation that would reduce or prevent negative impacts on the requirement and its schedule.;

f. The identification of key positions that will ensure success on the program (including those that will be filled by subcontractors), minimum qualifications for those key positions, the rationale for using the proposed key positions, and a description of how these positions will interact with Government personnel (Note: This information shall be limited to the key positions; identification of specific individuals and resume information is not required);

g. Supervisor-to-employee ratios;

h. The plan to meet the contract security requirements;

i. Any other information that demonstrates effective program management.

(ii) Recruitment and Retention. (10-page limit for the Prime and 5 pages for each major subcontractor as defined below. Information provided in response to FAR 52.222-46 is excluded from the page count). Major subcontractor is defined as a subcontractor anticipated to perform 10 percent or more of the total contract value. Because this is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, every awardee must be capable of performing the entire anticipated requirement of $800 million, less the minimum guarantees to the other awardees. The Government-provided PWS, Labor Categories, and Estimated Work Breakout should be used by the Prime contractor to establish the workload distribution and anticipated subcontract value for each of its team members.

a. Offerors shall demonstrate their ability to quickly expand staff to meet increased workloads and describe how they will ensure appropriate specialized technical expertise.

b. Offerors shall describe potential personnel retention risks and describe risk mitigation measures. Offerors shall describe potential risks of not being able to retain the proposed suite of team members and describe risk mitigation measures.

c. Offerors shall discuss their methods for attracting, hiring, developing, training, and retaining a workforce with all the skills and knowledge necessary to support the TEIS IV Program requirements. They also shall describe the approach to provide the training and mentoring necessary to keep the work force up to date on current technologies, trends, and best business practices. The plan should include the Offeror's approach to ensure personnel have the proper security clearances, certifications and training required for this requirement, and sustainment of those clearances and certifications. At a minimum, Offerors shall discuss how they will ensure that skills of technical personnel will remain current with technology over the life of the contract. Offeror's plans also shall take into consideration the impact of an environment of fluctuating workloads, demanding schedules, and complex project issues.

3. VOLUME 3 PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR

A. List of Past Performance References. The Offeror shall provide a list of all references requested to submit Past Performance Questionnaires on the Offeror's behalf. The Government has provided the worksheet, Section J Attachment 0062, Past Performance Reference List (PART A), to be filled out by the Offeror. The list of references is due by one (1) week prior to the proposal delivery due date, via email to the Contracting Officer, Adelina.j.kostur.civ@army.mil. The Prime Offeror should provide at least (3), but no more than five (5), referenced contracts. For each major subcontractor /team member/joint venture, at least two (2), but no more than (3) referenced contracts should be provided (each). A major subcontractor/team member/joint venture, is defined as a subcontractor /team member/joint venture whose sub-contract is for 10 percent or more of the total contract value.

B. Past Performance Information Summary. For the Government to evaluate performance confidence, the Offeror shall submit a description of its Government and/or Commercial contracts (Prime or major subcontractor) in performance during the past three (3) years which are relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation. The required format for these descriptions is in Section J, ATT062 Past Performance Information Summary (PPIS) (PART Bl. For contracts with multiple delivery/task orders, each delivery/task order submitted will count as one of the referenced contracts OR the IDIQ level contract can be used combining all the task order to meet the employee and value requirement. Data concerning the Prime Offeror shall be provided first, followed by each proposed major subcontractor/team member/joint venture, in alphabetical order.

(i) Referenced contracts should be provided that are relevant in type and magnitude. The past performance factor considers each Offerors demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services at least somewhat relevant to the solicitation and PWS requirements. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: Recency, Relevancy (including context of data), and Quality (including general trends in contractor performance and source information).

(ii) Recency: The Offeror's past performance will be determined to be recent if the data used in conducting performance risk assessments does not extend past three (3) years prior to the issue date of the solicitation.

(iii) Relevancy: Once the Recency of a contract action has been established, the Offeror's past performance will be assessed to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the TEIS IV Services requirement being acquired through this solicitation.

Relevant in type is defined as combined work performance like that described in the PWS with respect to service/support, complexity, management of large numbers of employees, and degree of subcontract/teaming.

Relevant in magnitude is defined as combined work performance that demonstrates the Offeror's (Prime, Sub-contractor or Business Relationship (e.g., Joint Venture, Sub-contractor, Mentor-Protege, etc.)) has managed 100 or more employees in combined performance OR performance, when combined, is equal to $30 Million or more in contract value.

These criteria do not have to be demonstrated in each contract; however, the Offeror should point out the relevance of each contract as it relates to relevance in type, relevance in magnitude, or both so that the Government can clearly determine that the team's aggregate past performance demonstrates the minimum requirements.

(iv) For each major subcontractor, team member/ joint venture at least two (2), but no more than three (3) referenced contracts (each) should be provided that are relevant in type and magnitude. If the Offeror has more than the above-mentioned relevant references, choose the references which are most similar in type and magnitude to this requirement for inclusion in this section. If the Prime Offeror is a joint venture, it shall submit the same information as required in sections A and B above as a Prime Offeror.

(v) Consent Letter/Client Authorization Letter. The Offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of past performance information for the Offeror so the Offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the Offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror's performance.

(vi) Subcontracts. Offerors shall provide an outline of how the effort required by the solicitation will be assigned for performance within the Offeror's corporate entity and among the proposed major subcontractors. The information provided for the Prime Offeror and each proposed major subcontractor must include the entire company name, company address, CAGE Code, UEI, and type of work to be performed by citing the applicable Government PWS paragraph/subparagraph number.

(vii) New corporate entities may submit data on prior contracts involving their officers and employees. However, in addition to the other requirements in this section, the Offeror shall discuss the roles performed by such people in the prior contracts cited.

C. Past Performance Questionnaire. The Prime Offeror and Major subcontractor/team member /joint venture shall ensure that a Past Performance Questionnaire, as set forth in Section J, Attachment 0064, is completed for each referenced contract. It is the sole responsibility of the Prime Offeror and Major subcontractor/team member/joint venture to provide its references with a copy of the questionnaire.
