The Offeror shall provide an affirmation statement that no OCI exists; or, if applicable, submit an OCI plan that identifies any potential or actual Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest (OCCI) as described in FAR Subpart 9.5.

This includes actual or potential conflicts of interests of proposed subcontractors. If an Offeror identifies in its proposal, quote, bid or any resulting contract, a potential or actual conflict of interest, the Offeror shall submit an Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest Plan (OCCIP) to the Contracting Officer. The OCCIP shall describe how the Offeror will address potential or actual conflicts of interest and identify how they will avoid, neutralize, or mitigate present or future conflicts of interest.

(1) Providing systems engineering and technical direction. (2) Preparing specifications or work statements and/or objectives. (3) Providing evaluation services. (4) Obtaining access to proprietary information.

c. If a prime contractor or subcontractor breaches any of the OCCI restrictions, or does not disclose or misrepresents any relevant facts concerning its conflict of interest, the Government may take appropriate action, including terminating the contract, in addition to any remedies that may be otherwise permitted by the contract or operation of law.

H.3. GOVERNMENT-CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIPS. a. Non-personal Services. The parties agree that the services to be provided under this contract are non-pesonal and that no employer/employee or master/servant relationships exist or will exist between the Government and the Contractor’s employees.

L.5.0 Volume III: PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME

L.5.1 GeneralEach Offeror shall submit a past performance volume with its proposal, containing past performance information in accordance with the format contained in this Attachment 5, Past and Present Performance References. Offeror shall submit no more than three (3) total recent past/present performance efforts for evaluation, and each cited past performance shall not exceed three (3) pages. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use data provided by each offeror in this volume and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past performance.

Along with the information required in this paragraph, the Offeror shall submit a consent letter executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of past performance information to the Offeror so the Offeror can respond to such information. Consent letters cannot exceed more than one page.

L.5.2 Recent Contracts

Recent efforts are those which have been performed during any portion of the last three (3) years from date of issuance of this RFP, including those efforts currently being performed. For those efforts

HC104718R4002

of 90

currently being performed, the offeror must have been performing for at least six (6) months from the date of issuance of this RFP. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be further evaluated.

L.5.3 Relevant Contracts

Relevancy is determined by assessing whether the past performance effort proposed is relevant to the Technical/ Management subfactors and the Price Factor contained in the RFP. The scope and magnitude of Task Order 1 shall be considered for relevancy.

L.5.4 Specific Content Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate. This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to a limited or no confidence rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program, or an offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The offeror is required to clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. Categorize the relevant information into the specific technical/management subfactors used to evaluate the proposal.

The Past Performance volume will be organized according to the following general outline:

L.5.4.1 Part A- SummaryIn accordance with the page limitations set forth in Table 1.1, describe the roles of the Offeror, subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners.

L5.4.2 Part B- Present and Past Performance Reference Sheets and QuestionnairesOfferor shall submit no more than three (3) total recent past/present performance efforts for evaluation, and each cited past performance shall not exceed three (3) pages. (Note: Individual task orders under an ID/IQ contract are each considered to be one (1) past/present performance effort.) Information on up to two (2) recent contracts performed by an Offeror’s significant teaming partners/subcontractors and significant subcontractors considered most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort may be submitted. The Government considers a significant subcontractor and/or teaming partner to be a company who provides 20% or more of the support required, and /or company who provides a critical portion of the effort required and/or influences the results of performance. The maximum number of past performance efforts submitted by the prime Offeror and its teaming partners may not exceed three (3) total. Therefore, it two (2) subcontractor efforts are submitted, then maximum number of efforts submitted by the prime would be one (1) effort. Submit information using the format contained in the Past and Present Performance Information attachment to the solicitation. Include rational supporting your assertion of relevance.

The Offeror shall provide the Past Performance Questionnaire and Cover Letter, attachment 6, to each of the customer Points of Contact identified for each of the relevant past performance efforts. In order to expedite the assessment process, the Offeror may complete Sections 1 and 2 of the Past Performance Questionnaire for the convenience of the Points of Contact. The Offeror shall not, however, complete any other section of the Past Performance Questionnaire. Once the questionnaires are completed by the POCs, the information contained therein shall be considered Source Selection Information in accordance with FAR 2.101 and 3.104 and shall not be released to the Offeror. Past Performance Questionnaires submitted for any Offeror’s team member shall clearly indicate the name of the Offeror within the

HC104718R4002

of 90

questionnaire. Early submission of the Past Performance Questionnaires is encouraged. Questionnaires shall be sent directly via email to the Contract Specialist, Michelle Rand at [email protected] and the Contracting Officer, Quinton Smith at [email protected] no later than the proposal due time and date from the customer filling out the form. However, offerors should provide a copy of the sent questionnaires with their proposal.

Note: Individual task orders or call orders under an ID/IQ contract, GSA Schedule contract, or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) are each considered to be one past/present performance effort. IDIQ contracts, GSA Schedule contracts, or BPAs submitted as references without an associated task order or with multiple task/call orders, will not be considered in the past performance evaluation.

L.5.4.3 Part C- Consent LettersIn accordance with the page limitations set forth in Table 1.1, the Offeror shall provide subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners consent or client authorization letters executed by each. These letters authorize the release of past performance information so the Offeror can respond to such information. A sample consent letter is provided at Attachment 7.

L.6.0 Volume IV– FACTOR 3: PRICE

L.6.1 General InstructionsThe following instructions are applicable to the prime offeror, subcontractors, teaming partners and joint venture partners. This section is to assist you in submitting information other than certified cost and pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and completeness of your proposed price. The Government will verify that all solicitation requirements have been priced, figures are correctly calculated, and prices are presented in a clear and useful format. Note that unreasonably high proposed prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal.

The Offeror shall submit a schedule in accordance with the Government provided Excel Workbook (Attachment 4) and a methodology for this factor. Pricing shall not be provided in any other part of the proposal. The period of performance shall be one five-year ordering period.Offerors will propose fixed-price ceiling rates for the ID/IQ contract based on one year increments. The yearly cycles will start on the date of award. Offerors must also propose labor hours and rates for Task Order 1. Labor rates for Task Order 1 may not exceed the ceiling rates for the applicable labor categories proposed for the ID/IQ contract, but they may be discounted from those ceiling rates. Additionally, Offerors shall propose rates for a six month option extension if FAR Clause 52.217-8, “Option to Extend Services” is utilized. Proposed ID/IQ ceiling rates for the potential six-month extension under FAR Clause 52.217-8 must be identical to the rates proposed for Year 5 of the ID/IQ contract. For evaluation purposes, proposed Task Order 1 labor rates for the potential six-month extension under FAR Clause 52.217-8 must be identical to the rates proposed for the final option period. No subcontractor rates are required or permitted. In Task Orders, subcontractors fully burdened labor rates will be subject to the prime Offeror’s fixed price ceiling rates for fixed priced Task Orders/CLINS.

Each Offeror shall input their proposed rates into the Government provided Excel Workbook. Offerors should assume a 1 February 2018 start date. All applicable Labor Categories for the ID/IQ contract will have an associated number of hours based on the anticipated work needed for future Task Orders. Descriptions of the Labor Categories are provided in Attachment 1. Offerors shall input direct labor rates and indirect rates to include profit/fee. Indirect rates will be in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. Rates will be calculated for both CONUS-site and OCONUS-site personnel. Offerors will

HC104718R4002

of 90

insert rates into the Government provided Excel Workbook to calculate it’s proposed fully burdened labor rate for each labor category. Offerors shall apply their indirect rates in accordance with its Cost Accounting Disclosure Statement. DO NOT place hard coded numbers in the spreadsheet to calculate the fully burdened labor rates. See the “Instructions” tab in the Government provided Excel Workbook. The spreadsheet will calculate the total proposed price for the Offeror. The total fully burdened rate for each labor category will be the capped ceiling for that labor category for firm-fixed-priced Task Orders. This is the maximum rate for the labor category for use when proposing on Task Orders. Offerors may propose less than these rates on Task Orders.

Only the total proposed price will be used for tradeoffs between price and non-price factors. The total proposed price will consist of the proposed price of the ID/IQ contract (5 year ordering period and the option pricing for the additional 6-month period in accordance with FAR 52.217-8) and the proposed price of Task Order 1 ( 1-year base, plus 4, 1-year options and the additional 6-month period IAW FAR 52.217-8.)

L.6.1.1 Price Reasonableness and CompletenessThis solicitation is being made under anticipated conditions of adequate competition. This section is to assist you in submitting information other than certified cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and completeness of your proposed price. Should the KO determine that conditions of adequate competition do not exist, and no exceptions apply, the Offeror may be required to provide certification of current cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.406-2. The Government will verify that all solicitation requirements have been priced, figures are correctly calculated, and prices are presented in a clear and useful format. Note that unreasonably high proposed prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an Offeror’s proposal. Price submissions should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. As this is a competed Firm Fixed Price effort, competition is largely determinative of price reasonableness.

L.6.1.2 Price InformationPricing submitted for the ID/IQ (5 year ordering period including option pricing for an additional six-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8 "Option to Extend Services" ) and Task Order 1 ( 1-year base period, 4 1-year options, and the 6 month extension of services) will be added together to determine an overall price for purposes of evaluation and trade-off. See FAR 52.217-8 which authorizes the Government to require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. The pricing proposal should include separate line items by CLIN for the additional six-month period IAW FAR 52.217-8. These prices shall be identical to the proposed pricing in the six months prior to expiration of the ID/IQ. Fully loaded labor rates for the ID/IQ ordering period will be incorporated into Schedule B and related B-Tables upon Contract award and used as a capped ceiling rate for all fixed price orders placed post-ID/IQ award.

L.6.1.3 Supplemental Price InformationInformation beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your cost/price position. All information relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price Volume. Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal .

L.6.1.4 Pricing Information RequirementsIn accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support price reasonableness. Information shall be provided in accordance with FAR

HC104718R4002

of 90

15.403-5. If, after receipt of proposals, the KO determines the required conditions of adequate competition do not exist and that there is insufficient information available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the offeror may be required to certify its submitted cost or pricing data (see: FAR 15.406-2 -- Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data).

Offeror and its subcontractor(s) shall provide whatever information is necessary to help the Government understand why the proposed prices are reasonable in its Price Narrative Document. Offeror and its subcontractor(s) shall disclose the location (CONUS or the OCONUS site per the PWS) of each proposed labor category in its price/cost proposal.

L.6.2 Volume OrganizationThe Price Volume shall consist of the following sections:

L.6.2.1 Part A - IntroductionThe offeror shall describe their methodology used to establish their price. The Offeror shall provide information describing and detailing the evaluation it performed to determine the reasonableness of subcontractor prices on hourly labor rates. This analysis shall be provided to the KO and may be submitted in accordance with the Offeror’s internal accounting procedures; there is no specified format. The prime contractor shall also specify what type of contract (firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement etc.) is proposed for each subcontractor. For any subcontractor proposed at or above the Truth In Negotiations Act (TINA) threshold, the Offeror shall provide, or instruct the subcontractor to provide evidence of accounting system adequacy if the subcontractor is performing on any basis other than Firm Fixed Price (FFP) or Time and Materials (T&M).

L.6.2.2 Part B- Price NarrativeThe price narrative shall provide whatever information is necessary to help the Government understand why the proposed prices are reasonable. Each Offeror's price proposal shall contain sufficient quantitative and narrative documentation necessary to adequately support and explain the prices proposed, to include subcontractor proposed prices.

L.6.2.3 Part C - Price Summary SpreadsheetOfferors are required to use the Government-provided Microsoft Excel Workbooks to submit the cost and pricing data supporting its proposed price, Attachment 4.

The price proposal shall be submitted using an .xls file (MS-Excel 2010) compatible format. The Microsoft Excel spreadsheet shall include all formulas and calculations and NOT be hard-numbered. Failure to comply with this section may result in Offeror’s cost submission being determined non responsive. DO NOT SUBMIT a .pdf file.

The Offeror’s spreadsheet shall also include option pricing for an additional six-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8.

The Offeror is required to submit prices for all labor categories proposed in accordance with the Performance Work Statement. The Offeror shall complete a labor rate tab in the workbook that encompasses fully-loaded/burdened labor rates for all labor categories proposed for all contract years. For Task Order 1 pricing, the labor rates and indirect loadings rates for the six-month option period shall be the same as those in effect for the final option period for evaluation purposes.

The Government-provided Microsoft Excel workbook is structured to facilitate the calculation of total labor hours proposed for each separate labor skill mix. If the Offeror elects to submit its own Excel

HC104718R4002

of 90

workbook, it must include a schedule showing total proposed hours summarized by labor skill mix. This schedule shall include (and separately identify) subcontractors and inter-divisional transfer hours. In addition, the Offeror shall provide labor classification statements for each category of labor proposed (prime, subcontracts, and inter-divisional) describing position qualifications (education, years of experience, etc).

For Task Order 1, the Offeror must propose a CLIN 9999, Surge. The Government may require surge support during the base or any option period for Task Order 1. The Government is providing a percentage value to be used by all offerors when proposing surge: surge support will not exceed 18% of the offeror’s total proposed cost/price for the base and all option periods of Task Order 1, excluding the six-month extension of services pursuant to FAR 52.217-8. Offerors are instructed to propose this EXACT percentage for Surge CLIN 9999. In the event the Government does elect to exercise the Surge Option, surge support will be realigned under new or existing CLINs for the relevant task areas identified in the PWS, and an equal amount will be deducted from Optional Surge CLIN 9999. The Government will not conduct a cost realism analysis on Optional Surge CLIN 9999 if all other labor CLINs under the contract/task order are firm-fixed price.

For Task Order 1, the Offeror shall use the estimated Travel figures provided by the Government under the Pricing Summary tab as a plug amount in its price proposal for evaluation purposes only.

Base Year Travel- $165,000.00Option Year 1 Travel- $165,000.00Option Year 2 Travel- $165,000.00Option Year 3 Travel- $82,500.00Option Year 4 Travel- $82,500.00Six Month Extension- $41,250.00

All travel shall be authorized by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) in writing prior to travel, and will be paid in accordance with FAR Part 31.205-46. The Contractor will be authorized to invoice monthly for all incurred travel costs approved by the COR.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

SECTION M

M.1 SOURCE SELECTION

M.1. Basis for Contract AwardThis is a competitive best value trade-off source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the DISA Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DARS). These regulations are available electronically at http://www.ditco.disa.mil/hq/aqinfo.asp and http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The Government will select the best overall offer, based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and subfactors described below. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical/management requirements, in addition to those identified as factors or subfactors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. A contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors and subfactors, to represent the best value to the Government. The Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives DISA the greatest confidence that it will best meet, or exceed, the requirements.

M.1.2 Evaluation ProcessThe source selection advisory council (SSAC) and the source selection evaluation board (SSEB) will strictly adhere to FAR Subpart 15.3, DFARS 215.303, DARS Subpart 15.3, and the evaluation process and criteria stated in Section M of the solicitation during evaluation of proposals. The technical proposal should include all information the offeror wants the Government to consider and evaluate regarding its company’s ability to perform all required tasks and conform to all required terms and conditions. The best value determination will be based on the stated evaluation factors.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions or seek clarifications if the Contracting Officer (KO) determines they are necessary. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the KO reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.

The Government understands that specific proposed personnel may become unavailable between time of proposal submission and award as a result of circumstances beyond the offeror’s control. In such cases, the Government will continue to evaluate the proposal as submitted, but if the offeror is selected for award, it will be obligated to provide a substitute on the same terms and with equal or greater qualifications than the individual originally proposed.

In the event issues pertaining to a proposed contract cannot be resolved to the KO’s satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the solicitation. In such event, offerors will be notified in writing. In the event a competitive range is established and the KO determines that the number

HC104718R4002

of 90

of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the KO may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition.

M.1.3 Evaluation of OptionsThe ID/IQ contract resulting from this solicitation is intended to be a five year ordering period without options. Task orders will each specify a particular period of performance and may include options for additional periods of performance. Task Order 1 will include a one-year base period, and 4 one-year option periods. Notwithstanding the lack of options on the ID/IQ, the Government will include FAR clause 52.217-8 as part of the contract award. Should the Government make use of FAR 52.217-8, it would have the ability to extend the contract ordering period or any of the task orders’ period of performance for up to six additional months.

The prices for the six-month option shall be identical to the proposed pricing in the six months prior to expiration of the period of performance for each task. The total evaluated price will consist of the contractor’s proposed prices for each of the task orders’ periods of performance including the pricing for the additional six-month period. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices or task order prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

M.1.4 Number of Contracts to be AwardedThe Government intends to award one contract for the DISA NLCC Program Engineering Security & Technical Support (NLCC PEST Support); however, the Government reserves the right to make no award at all. The Government intends to award the one attached task order at the same time it awards the base ID/IQ contract, but the Government reserves the right to not award the task order at time of ID/IQ award.

M.1.5 Rejection of OffersThe Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be nonviable in terms of program commitments, contract terms and conditions. Note that unreasonably high proposed prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition.

M.2 EVALUATION FACTORS

M.2.1 Evaluation Factors and Subfactors M.2.1.1 The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal. The factors are listed in descending order of importance. The Government will employ a two-step evaluation for this acquisition. The Government will evaluate the offerors technical/management proposal against Subfactor 1: Security Clearance Requirements and Subfactor 2: Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) as “Acceptable / Unacceptable.” Offerors who are rated as “Unacceptable” in any of the “Acceptable / Unacceptable” evaluation criteria may not be further evaluated under Step Two.

In Step Two of the evaluation, the Government will evaluate the offerors proposals against the best value tradeoff criteria Subfactor 3: ID/IQ and Task Order 1 Technical Understanding, Subfactor 4: ID/IQ and Task Order 1 Management/ Staffing Approach and Factor 2: Past Performance and Factor 3: Price.

Factor 1: Technical/Management ApproachSubfactor 1: Security Clearance RequirementsSubfactor 2: Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM)Subfactor 3: ID/IQ and Task Order 1 Technical UnderstandingSubfactor 4: ID/IQ and Task Order 1 Management/Staffing Approach

HC104718R4002

of 90

Factor 2: Past PerformanceFactor 3: Price

M.2.1.2 Relative Importance of Factors and Subfactors. The relative importance of each factor and subfactor is as follows:

The Technical/Management Approach Factor is more important than the Past Performance Factor. In accordance with FAR 15.304(e), when combined the Technical/Management Approach Factor and the Past Performance Factor are significantly more important than the Price Factor.

M.2.2 Factor 1: ID/IQ and Task Order 1 Technical/Management ApproachThe technical/management approach evaluation will be evaluated using combined technical/management ratings and risk ratings. Each Subfactor will receive its own rating, and there will not be an overall rating at the Factor level. The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Combined technical/risk evaluations shall utilize the combined technical/risk ratings listed in Table 1.

Within Factor 1 – Technical / Management Approach, there are four (4) subfactors, which are listed below. The Technical/Management Subfactor #1 and #2 will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Not Acceptable (i.e., pass/fail) basis; Subfactors #3 and #4 are equal in importance will be evaluated in accordance with Table 1: COLOR SCHEME FOR THE COMBINED TECHNICAL/ MANAGEMENT AND RISK RATINGS. A “NOT ACCEPTABLE” rating on Subfactor #1 and/or #2 will render the Offeror’s proposal ineligible for award. Technical/Management Approach Subfactor ratings shall not be rolled up to an overall rating at the Technical/Management Approach Factor level.

Table 1. Combined Technical/Risk RatingsColor Rating Description

BLUE Outstanding

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

PURPLE Good

The Government will evaluate the effectiveness and appropriateness of the offeror’s proposed staffing approach to include the following: (1) proposed approach to attract, recruit, hire, train and retain professionally credentialed management personnel and trained and certified technical personnel to meet the requirements of the ID/IQ and Task Order 1; (2) proposed approach to ensure continuity of services during personnel absences due to sickness, leave and voluntary or involuntary termination from employment (3) proposed process used to identify all personnel that hold Top Secret Clearance at time of proposal submission and during contract administration; (4) proposed process used by contractor to ensure fully-trained, top-quality personnel are provided to meet or exceed all requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Government will evaluate how the offeror will provide a mix of labor categories and labor hours to meet or exceed the requirements of the Task Order 1 PWS, Section 6.

The Government will evaluate the quality and experience of their Key Personnel based on submitted resumes. The Labor Category descriptions are defined in Attachment 1- ID/IQ Labor Categories and Attachment 11- Task Order 1 Skill Summary Matrix and the Key Personnel Sections of the applicable PWS. The Contractor shall provide resumes for all Key Personnel for evaluation purposes. Resumes shall not exceed three (3) pages each and do not count towards the 15 page limitation. The resumes of Key Personnel must include required expertise and/or applicable certifications. It is critical that the offeror has properly provided key personnel with relevant expertise and qualifications who are ready and available. Key Personnel resumes submitted without commitments of Key Personnel may not be considered for evaluation. Commitment may be demonstrated by the signed letters of intent.

M.2.3 Factor 2: Past PerformanceOfferors will be evaluated on performance under existing and prior contracts and / or task orders for similar products or services. Offerors shall submit no more than three (3) total recent past / present performance efforts for evaluation, and each cited past performance effort shall not exceed three (3) pages. (Note: Individual task/call orders under an ID/IQ contract, GSA Schedule contract, or BPA are each considered to be one (1) past / present performance effort.) Information on up to two (2) recent contracts performed by an Offeror’s significant teaming partners / subcontractors and significant subcontractors considered most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort may be submitted. The Government considers a significant subcontractor and / or teaming partner to be a company who provides 20% or more of the support required, and / or a company who provides a critical portion of the effort required and / or influences the results of performance. The maximum number of past performance efforts submitted by the prime Offeror and its teaming partners may not exceed three (3) total. Therefore, if two (2) subcontractor efforts are submitted, the maximum number of efforts submitted by the prime would be one (1) effort.

References other than those identified by Offerors may be contacted by the Government, and the information received may be used in the past performance evaluation. Offerors for whom information on past performance is not available, or so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and as a result will receive an “Neutral Confidence” rating for the Past Performance Factor.

M.2.3.1 Recency AssessmentAn assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. For those efforts currently being performed, the offeror must have been performing for at least six (6) months from the date of issuance of this RFP. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be further evaluated.

M.2.3.2 Relevancy AssessmentThe Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained. The scope and magnitude of Task Order 1 shall be used for relevancy comparison. For each recent past performance reference reviewed, the relevance of the work performed will generally be assessed for the task areas in Section 6 and dollar value. A relevancy determination of the offeror’s past performance will be made based upon the aforementioned considerations. The past performance information forms and information obtained from other sources will be used to establish the degree of relevancy of past performance. Past performance efforts with higher relevance may be accorded greater weight than those with lower relevance. The Government will use the following degrees of relevancy when assessing recent, relevant contracts (DoD Source Selection Procedures, paragraph 3.1.3.1). Efforts assessed as Not Relevant will not be further evaluated.

Table 2. Past Performance Relevancy RatingsRating Definition

RELEVANT Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

SOMEWHAT RELEVANT

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

NOT RELEVANT Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

M.2.3.3 Performance Quality Assessment (How well the contractor performed on the contract.)The Government will consider the performance quality of recent and relevant efforts. For each recent/relevant past performance reference reviewed, the performance quality of the work performed will be assessed. The quality assessment consists of an in-depth evaluation of the past performance questionnaire responses, PPIRS information, interviews with Government customers, and if applicable, commercial clients. It may include interviews with DCMA officials or other sources known to the Government.

The Government will use the following quality ratings when assessing quality of recent, relevant contracts.

Table 3. Past Performance Quality AssessmentQuality Assessment Rating Description

During the contract period, contractor performance meets or met

EXCEPTIONAL (E)contractual requirements and exceeds or exceeded many to the Government's benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective.

VERY GOOD (VG)

During the contract period, contractor performance meets or met contractual requirements and exceeds or exceeded some to the Government's benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

SATISFACTORY (S)During the contract period, contractor performance meets or met contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed contained some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

MARGINAL (M)

During the contract period, contractor performance does not or did not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

UNSATISFACTORY(U)

During the contract period, contractor performance does not or did not meet most contractual requirements and recovery in a timely manner is not likely. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

NOT APPLICABLE (N)Unable to provide a rating. Contract did not include performance for this aspect. Do not know.

M.2.3.4 Assigning Performance Confidence Assessment. As a result of the relevancy and quality assessments of the recent contracts evaluated, offerors will receive an integrated performance confidence assessment rating. The resulting performance confidence assessment rating is made at the past performance factor level and represents an overall evaluation of contractor performance. In the event that the Government is unable to obtain performance quality information for a reference, resulting in a "Not Applicable" Quality Assessment Rating, the relevance of that reference will not be considered in the overall Performance Confidence Assessment Rating. Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and, as a result, will receive an "Neutral Confidence" rating for the past performance factor.

The past performance factor will receive one of the performance confidence assessments described in the table below.

TABLE 4. PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

Rating Description

SUBSTANTIAL Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

HC104718R4002

of 90

CONFIDENCE Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

NEUTRAL CONFIDENCE

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

LIMITED CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

NO CONFIDENCE Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

M.2.4 Factor 3: PriceM.2.4.1 The Excel Workbook, once completed by the Offeror, will calculate the total fully burdened rates for each labor category as well as the total proposed price for the Offeror, using the designated number of hours for each labor category for both CONUS and OCONUS sites. ONLY the total proposed price will be used for tradeoff between price and non-price factors. The offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated for award purposes based upon the total price proposed for the ID/IQ and Task Order 1. The price will be determined by adding the total price of the ID/IQ (5 year ordering period and the 6 month extension) with the total price of Task Order 1 (1-year base period and 4, 1-year options, including option pricing for an additional 6-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8 and the SURGE CLIN).

M.2.4.2 The offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated, using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404, in order to determine if it is reasonable and complete. Normally, price reasonableness is established through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404. For additional information see FAR 31.201-3.

M.2.4.3 Evaluation of Options. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

M.2.4.4 Unbalanced Pricing - Offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable proposal, the price of one or more items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. The Government will analyze offers to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to separately priced items. Offers that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the KO determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

M.2.4.5 Subcontracting – The Government will evaluate the offeror’s ability to comply with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, when subcontracting is proposed.

M.3 SOLICITATION REQUIREMENTS, TERMS AND CONDITIONSOfferors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical/management requirements, in addition to those identified as factors or

HC104718R4002

of 90

subfactors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. In addition to conforming to all the requirements specified in this solicitation, an Offeror’s proposal will not be eligible for consideration for award unless the following conditions are met:(a) The proposal must comply in all material respects with the requirements of the law, regulation and conditions set forth in this solicitation; (b) The proposal must meet all mandatory solicitation requirements; (c) The Offeror must be determined responsible according to the standards of FAR Part 9 and Subpart 104-1.

M.4. SOURCE SELECTION PROCESSM.4.1 Responsibility and Compliance Review. The Government will review proposals for responsibility and compliancy. Any offeror determined to be non-responsive or non-compliance may be removed from further consideration.

M.4.2 Technical Evaluation. The Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) will evaluate the Technical/Management Approach subfactors individually as outlined above. The Past Performance Evaluation Board (PPEB) and the Price Evaluation Board (PEB) will evaluate the applicable proposal sections.

M.4.3 Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB). The SSEB will review all prepared reports and prices/costs. The SSEB will conduct a review of the Technical Evaluation Board’s evaluations of the proposals against the solicitation requirements and the approved evaluation criteria to ensure an equitable, impartial, and comprehensive evaluation against the solicitation requirements.The SSEB will not compare proposals against each other. The fundamental responsibility of the SSEB is to provide the Source Selection Advisory Council (SSAC) and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) with information to make an informed and reasoned selection. The SSEB will therefore prepare summary reports containing adjectival assessments for each factor and their supporting rationale, including the costs/prices for each Offeror and brief the SSAC. The SSAC will prepare a comparative analysis and brief the SSA and prepare any items for discussions.

M.4.4 Source Selection Advisory Council (SSAC). The primary role of the SSAC is to provide a written comparative analysis of offers and recommendation to the SSA for use in making the best value source selection decision. The SSAC also reviews the evaluation results of the SSEB to ensure the evaluation process follows the evaluation criteria and the ratings are appropriately and consistently applied.

M.4.5 Source Selection Authority. After all of the evaluations described above have been completed, the SSA will consider all factors and will independently exercise prudent business judgment to determine which Offeror provides the best value to the Government. This may include conducting a best-value trade-off. The results of the SSA’s decision shall be documented in the Source Selection Decision Document.

M.4.6 Discussions: Offerors are advised that it is the intent of the Government that awards will be made without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions if it determines that discussions are necessary. Therefore, proposals should be submitted on the most favorable terms that the Offeror can submit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to limit the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals in accordance with FAR Clause 52.215- 1(f)(4).

HC104718R4002

M.4.7 Miscellaneous: The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award, to negotiate with Offerors in a competitive range, if one is established, and to award Contracts to the Offerors with the most advantageous proposals to the Government.

M.4.8 Exceptions to the Contractual terms and conditions of the solicitation (e.g., standard terms and conditions) may result in a determination to reject a proposal.

M.5. Offerors are cautioned to submit information in the format specified in Section L,Instructions to Offerors.
