ELECTRONIC PROPOSAL SUBMISSION IS ACCEPTABLE: alan.gonzales@navy.mil Each Offeror must submit an offer (quote) in accordance with the instructions herein. When evaluating an Offeror, the Government will consider how well the Offeror complied with both the letter and spirit of these instructions.

If the Offeror does neither of the foregoing, the proposal may not be eligible for award. Volume III Price. Offerors shall provide sufficiently detailed information to ensure a fair and reasonable determination of the proposed offer. Price analysis will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). All price spreadsheets must be in excel format and not in.pdf or read-only format. The use of macro commands is neither desired nor encouraged. Contractor price spreadsheets are to be included in one work file to alleviate the need to combine, add, or transfer data from different work files. Excel files should include equations used for calculations. There is no page limit for price information.

Labor Hours Historical Average FY14 Base Year Labor Category -- (Key Personnel ) SharePoint Engineer/Developer/Web Developer1920 Totals1920 PRICING Pricing shall include detailed price breakdown with all supporting documentation. The pricing information shall support the technical offer. Evaluation Criteria: The award resulting from this solicitation will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order. The Purchase Order will consist of a one-year, 12 month period. The government plans to award the purchase order on the basis of a competitive Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement. To be eligible for award, the Offeror must fully comply with the instructions included in Section L (Instructions, Conditions, and Notices for Submission of Offers), and sufficiently address all solicitation requirements. As such, offers that take exception to any term or condition of this solicitation, propose any additional term or condition, or omit any required information, may not be considered for award. Alternate proposals are NOT authorized and will be rejected. To be considered eligible for award, each Offeror must submit a single proposal that contains a complete and accurate response to the requirements of this solicitation. The Government will accept only one offer. No multiple awards will be made. Any inconsistency, within the price proposal or between the technical or price proposals, should be fully explained, or it may be considered a discrepancy within the offer and a risk in the Offeror s ability to perform, which will lower the evaluation rating. The proposal(s) shall be in the format prescribed by, and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified in Section L entitled Instructions for Preparation of Proposals. Offers will be evaluated on each of the following evaluation factors in descending order of importance: Factor I - Technical Capabilities Factor II - Past Performance Factor III - Price Factor I, Technical Capabilities and Factor II Past Performance when combined are significantly more important than Factor III Price. The subfactors in Technical Capabilities are each weighted equally. Factor I - Technical Capability, will be evaluated based on two (2) subfactors. 1. Technical Approach 2. Management/Staffing Plan Factor I Technical Capability Grading Criteria: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY TO PERFORM, Factor I, represents MINIMUM acceptable criteria. Offerors technical information will be used to determine whether the services proposed meet the specifications included in this solicitation. Services offered, as provided in Offerors technical information, will be evaluated as technically acceptable or technically unacceptable. Offers which are determined to be technically unacceptable will not be considered further for award. The narrative description of each grade follows, as appropriate for Factor I, Technical Capability. Technical. The term technical, as used herein, refers to non-price factors other than past performance. The purpose of the technical factor is to assess whether the offeror s proposal will satisfy the Government s minimum requirements. The Technical Evaluation Team shall evaluate the offeror s proposal against these requirements as defined in the Performance Work Statement to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined in Table M-1. TABLE M-1 COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATING RatingDescription AcceptableProposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. UnacceptableProposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unacceptable. Factor II: Past Performance Ratings: The past performance evaluation rating is an assessment of the offeror s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. The Past Performance Evaluation will evaluate whether the offeror s present/past performance is relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. The criteria to establish what is recent and relevant shall be unique to each source selection. Therefore, the solicitation shall establish the criteria for recency and relevancy in relation to the specific requirement being procured. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror s contract history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. In addition, the Past Performance Evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts. The past performance evaluation performed in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the offeror performed those past contracts. Sources of Past Performance Information for Evaluation are as follows: Past performance information may be provided by the offeror, as solicited. Past performance information may be obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition. Past performance information shall be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. The evaluation team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance competence assessment. The Past Performance Evaluation will consist of one rating. Past performance will be rated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis using the ratings in Table M-2. TABLE M-2PAST PERFORMANCE RATING RatingDefinition AcceptableBased on the offeror s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror s performance record is unknown. (See note below.) UnacceptableBased on the offeror s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, unknown shall be considered acceptable. Factor III Price Price analysis will be used to determine the total evaluated price to support the selection of the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror. The Offerors proposed price will be evaluated in accordance with FAR Part 15.404-1(b) price analysis procedures. The following FAR provision and clauses are applicable to this procurement: 52.204-2, Security Requirements 52.204-7, System for Award Management; 52.204-9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel; 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items; 52.212-2, Evaluation 52.212-3 and its ALT I, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items; Quoters are reminded to include a completed copy of 52.212-3 and its ALT I with quotes. 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items. 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders Commercial Items 52.204-10, Reporting Executive Compensation and First-Tier Subcontract Awards 52.209-6, Protecting the Government s Interest When Subcontracting with Contractors Debarred, Suspended, or Proposed for Debarment 52.223-18, Encouraging Contractor Policies to Ban Text Messaging while Driving 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract 52.219-6, Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside 52.225-25, Prohibition on Contracting with Entities Engaging in Certain Activities or Transactions Relating to Iran Reps and Certs 52.233-2, Service of Protest 52.237-2, Protection of Government Buildings, Equipment, and Vegetation 52.252-2, Clauses Incorporated by Reference All clauses shall be incorporated by reference in the order.
