Submission of Proposals:
If you want to compete for the contract described in this
synopsis/solicitation,
you must submit a technical proposal (technical proposal elements described
below) and submit a completed Pricing Matrix (Attachment 6).
Technical Proposal:
(a) Technical Capability
a. Organizational Experience: Experience is the opportunity to learn by
doing.
An offeror's experience is relevant when they have been confronted with the
kinds of challenges that will confront them under the contract contemplated by
this solicitation/RFP. Relevant work is defined as work of similar nature,
scope,
magnitude, and difficulty to that required by the solicitation. This
evaluation
will consider the breadth, depth, and relevance of offeror work performed since
01 June 2009. The references submitted under Past Performance (see below
instructions regarding submission of Reference Information Sheets) should be
able to provide information needed to evaluate Organizational Experience.
Information provided in the Reference Information Sheets will be utilized to
assess this subfactor. No additional information shall be submitted by
offerors
for this subfactor.
b. Writing Samples: Offerors shall submit a maximum of three writing
samples, five pages maximum for each sample (for a total maximum of 15
pages). Offerors shall provide writing samples of completed and published
work similar in scope and complexity to the requirements of this RFP.
(b) Past Performance
a. Each offeror shall complete and submit up to three Reference Information
Sheets (Attachment 4, two pages maximum for experience). The two page
maximum includes the Reference Information Sheet cover-page, plus one
additional page. Attached CPARS documents will not count against the two-
page maximum. The offeror shall demonstrate relevant experience in work
similar to the work outline in the PWS. If available, Offerors shall attach
the
most recent CPARS evaluation for each experience identified. If CPARS
evaluations are unavailable, Offerors shall provide one Past Performance
Questionnaire (Attachment 5) to each of the customers cited on the Reference
Information Sheet (Attachment 4), ensuring that the references' contact
information (Block 9a/9b) is accurate. The offeror shall request that the
customer complete and send the form as an email attachment to
[email protected]. The completed Past Performance Questionnaire
should be received by the Government not later than the proposal due date
and time. However, the Government may consider past performance
information received after this date and time.
The Government reserves the right to use past performance information
obtained from sources other than those identified by the offeror. This past
performance information will be used for the evaluation of past performance.
The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the
problems it finds in the information provided by the offeror. The burden of
providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with
the offeror
Pricing Matrix- shall be submitted in accordance with the Pricing Matrix
(Attachment 6) MS Excel format with formulas intact. Offerors shall ensure
that
spreadsheets are fully accessible (i.e., not 'read only'). For proposal
purposes
assume that 50% of the effort will be performed at the Government facility
(SSC Pacific, San Diego, CA) and that 50% of the effort will be performed at
the
contractor facility.
The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed contract.
52.212-2, EvaluationCommercial Items (JAN 1999)
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to
the
responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most
advantageous to the Government, cost and other factors considered. The
following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
(1) Technical Capability (including subfactors Organizational
Experience and Writing Samples). Technical Capability will be evaluated to
assess the offeror's performance capability. There are two subfactors:
(a) Organizational Experience: The Government will
consider the breadth, depth, and relevance of the offeror's recent experience
(performed since 1 June 2009) in performing work that is similar in nature,
scope, magnitude, and difficulty to that required under the proposed contract.
(b) Writing Samples: The Government will evaluate
the quality of writing samples of completed and published works that are
similar in scope to the requirements of this acquisition.
(2) Past Performance. The past performance evaluation results in
an assessment of the offeror's probability of meeting the solicitation
requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror's
demonstrated recent (performed since 1 June 2009) and relevant record of
performance in supplying products and services that meet the contractor's
requirements.
(3) Cost. The Government will evaluate the proposed price of
each offer for fair and reasonableness and realism in accordance with FAR
Subpart 15.4.
All technical (non-cost) evaluation factors, when combined, are equally
important as cost. Technical Capability is more important than Past
Performance. The two non-cost evaluation subfactors within the Technical
Capability factor are equal in importance.
(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offerors for award purposes by
adding the total cost for all options to the total cost for the basic
requirement.
The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option
costs are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate
the
Government to exercise the options.
(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise
furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in
the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either
party.
Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an
offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its
receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
Offerors are advised to include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3,
Offeror Representations and CertificationsCommercial Items, with its offer.
