- Amendment 000001 (Government Response to Vendor Questions) (i) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 and 13.106, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) using FAR Part 13. (ii) The solicitation reference number is HSHQDC-15-R-00173. This requirement is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). (iii) This RFP and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-83. (iv) This solicitation is 100% Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set-aside. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541614, and the Small Business size standard is $15,000,000.00. (v) The Contract Line Item Numbers, Items, Quantities, and Units of Measure are: See Attachment A (Schedule of CLINS and Statement of Work). The anticipated date for contract award is on or about September 25, 2015. (vi) The Contractor shall provide Information Technology (IT) Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) Program support services in accordance with Attachment A, Statement of Work. (vii) Period of Performance: Base Year September 30, 2015 to September 29, 2016 and Option Year Period One September 30, 2016 to September 29, 2017. Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services (NOV 1999) - The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within 60 days. If needed, the Government intends to exercise the option or options under FAR 52.217-8 without further competition or need for justification for other than full or open competition or limited source justification or sole source justification. For purposed of evaluation, the potential need to exercise the option under FAR 52.217-8 to extend the period of contract performance for the maximum period of six (6) months beyond the last option period will be considered the same for all Offerors. In considering the price of the base period and any options periods, the Government will consider that if the extension of service clause (FAR 52.217-8) is exercised, it will be on the exact same rates and terms, other than length of performance, as the base or option period being extended. The Government will determine whether the price, inclusive of all options (including the options available under FAR 52.217-8), is fair and reasonable, and whether the price of the base period and all option periods (including the option(s) represented by FAR 52.217-8), in combination with the other evaluation factors specified in the solicitation, represents the best value to the Government." (viii) The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors (APR 2014)- Commercial, applies to this acquisition. The following addendum has been attached to this provision: Offeror must address each of the technical requirements outlined in section "vi". Offeror's submissions must include the following information: Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS); Northern American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code; Contact Name; Contact Email Address; Contact Telephone and Fax Number; Complete Business Mailing Address.

The entire submitted proposal shall be no more than eleven (11) pages.

(ix) The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation (OCT 2014) - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. (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, price and other factors considered. (b) 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.

The following addendum has been attached to this clause: Factor 1 Technical Capability: The Government will evaluate the Offeror's Technical Capability by evaluating (1) the extent to which the Offeror provides a detailed discussion of the background, scope, objectives and work requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW), (2) provides a detailed discussion of the management tools or business processes to be used for meeting requirements and tasks and how they apply to the SOW requirements. Factor 2 Management Approach: The Government will evaluate the Offeror's Management Approach by evaluating (1) the Offeror's Staffing Plan including the Offeror's ability to mitigate personnel turnover in the execution of the requirements of the SOW (2) the Offeror's ability to provide qualified key personnel and (3) Resumes of all proposed personnel. Factor 3 Past Performance: Past Performance will be evaluated to determine how well the Offeror has performed in the recent past (3 years) as an indicator of how well the Offeror may perform in the future. Experience will be evaluated based on the extent to which the Offeror's past performance information is relevant to the technical requirements of this RFP. If a Offeror has no relevant past performance, the Offeror must state this in its proposal. If a Offeror includes in its proposal past performance that is not relevant, the government may consider this to demonstrate that the Offeror does not have a clear understanding of the SOW. The Government reserves the right to use publicly available reports and data from the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) found on the web at http://www.ppirs.gov/. The Government may also use present and/or past performance data obtained from a variety of sources, not just those contracts identified by Offerors. A Offeror without a record of past performance or for whom information on relevant past performance is not available will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. Factor 4 Price: Price will not be assigned an adjectival rating. (x) The provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items (Mar 2015).
