The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. If you want to file a protest under the AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below.

I - SOLICITATION PROVISIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE NOTICE: Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.252-1, "SOLICITATION PROVISIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE," the following provisions are incorporated herein by reference: A. SOLICITATION PROVISIONS: 52.203-11 Certification And Disclosure Regarding Payments To Influence Certain Federal Transactions SEP 2007 II - SOLICITATION PROVISIONS IN FULL TEXT NOTICE: The following provisions are hereby incorporated in full text: 52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (APR 2010) (a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that- (i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals- (A) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (B) Have ( ) have not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks "have", the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and (C) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision; and (D) Have [ballot], have not [ballot], within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code). (ii) The Offeror has ( ) has not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency. (2) Principal, for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions). (a) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. (b) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation.

The offeror must provide proof that the Program Manager has a Top Secret Clearance. Subfactor 2 - Staffing Approach and Equipment. - Staffing: The Offeror shall provide a detailed Staffing Plan that addresses the ability to obtain, retain, and maintain the depth and breadth of qualified staff necessary to accomplish the work in a safe and efficient manner. The staffing plan shall place emphasis on the following: • The process for conducting clearance and recovery performed immediately after a mission while ensuring the safety of individuals on the range before, during and after a mission. • Staffing approach based upon the projected workload data in Technical Exhibit A that reflects the Offeror's proposed skill mix and labor hours necessary to perform the required services described in the PWS. • Approach the offeror intends to use to hire and retain employees with the qualifications described under Personnel Qualifications. • Approach for surge requirements. - Equipment: The offeror will provide a detailed description of the equipment that will be used in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall provide a full description of the item or class of items as well as age and condition. The contractor shall also provide a narrative discussing the approach to providing the equipment necessary to satisfy this requirement. Subfactor 3 - Safety Record. - The offeror shall submit the previous three years OSHA 300A Summary Logs, in accordance with 29CFR Part 1904, Subpart B (a) (2). The offeror also shall calculate and submit their Days Away Restricted or Transfer (DART) rating and Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) for the previous three years. (c) Volume III - Past Performance Volume. The Past Performance evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of an Offeror's recent and relevant Past Performance, focusing on and targeting performance which is relevant to the effort as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. Past Performance information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform greater than 20% of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price. 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 adverse past performance information to 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. 1. Early Proposal Information. The offeror is requested to submit the Past Performance Volume fifteen (15) calendar days after the RFP issuance date, to the Contracting Officer at the following email addresses: worner.o.heath.civ@mail.mil 2. The offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a valid history of past contract performance. 3. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror's Past Performance Volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the offerors. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government. All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received. 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 (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable." 4. Submission Requirements. The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following: • Table of Contents • Summary Page describing the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and /or joint venture partner that the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets for the past performance experience in accordance with Attachment 1. • Organization Structure Change History - Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources. • Specific Relevant Contracts - Identify relevant Contracts in accordance with Attachment 4 and are limited to 3 pages per reference. The offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror's past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this Solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation. 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 Past Performance Questionnaire - See Attachment 3. For the contracts identified on each Specific Relevant Contract Reference, the offeror shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The points of contact shall return the questionnaires directly to worner.o.heath.civ@mail.mil not later than 29 July 2016. Any questionnaires not returned directly to the KO will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror's past performance. New entities that have no past customers shall annotate on the Summary Page that they have had no previous clients and that questionnaires cannot be provided. 5. The past performance volume shall contain the following information: - Provide recent and relevant past performance on two (2) contracts having demilitarized munition and performing scrap metal sales. - Provide recent and relevant past performance on two (2) contracts having performed work on a Major Range and or Test Facility Base (MRTFB) as identified in DoD Directive 3200.11. Offerors are encouraged, but not required, to submit Volume III - Past Performance Information, in advance of the remaining Volumes to facilitate and expedite Past Performance Evaluations. (d) Volume IV- Price - The offeror shall populate and submit prices for the established Contract Line Items (CLINS) on the solicitation. This is a commercial acquisition and adequate price competition is anticipated; therefore, the Offeror is not required to submit cost or pricing data. However, the Contracting Officer may require the Offeror to submit information other than cost or pricing data after receipt of its proposal to support its proposed price in accordance with FAR 15.403-3. Non-exempt Labor: Wage Determination 15-2511, Revision 1, dated 2/18/16 (TE B) applies to this solicitation for the proposed non-exempt labor classifications. All proposals submitted in response to this solicitation shall reflect, at a minimum, the latest wages and fringe benefit rates for all non-exempt labor positions proposed. Exempt Labor: Since the Service Contract Labor Standards (formerly titled Service Contract Act) does not apply to exempt employees, escalation of labor for exempt employees/personnel for each option period is recommended. The apparent Awardee will be requested to complete Attachment 2. For future modification purposes this attachment requires the following information be completed: Non-Exempt Labor Category Direct Labor Rates Productive Hours 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items. ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 FAR Provision 52.212-2 is tailored as follows: The proposals will be evaluated using the evaluation factors as follows: a. Basis for Contract Award (1) This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-2, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process. A decision on the technical acceptability of each Offeror's proposal will be made. For those Offerors which are determined to be technically acceptable, award will be made to that vendor with the lowest overall price. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the technical go/no go process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the evaluation process. (2) Trade-offs between cost/price and non-cost/price factors are not permitted. Unreasonably high/unrealistically low, unbalanced, inaccurate or incomplete price proposals, may be the grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. (3) The Government will evaluate proposed prices for reasonableness using price analysis techniques. Proposed prices evaluated as unreasonable may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. If only one proposal is received a cost analysis will be performed and certified cost and price data or other than certified cost and pricing data may be required IAW FAR 15.403. (4) Award will be based on the lowest evaluated price of proposals received that meet, or exceed, the acceptable standards of the non-price factors identified in this synopsis/solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a), Clarifications and award without discussions). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In the event that discussions are held, a competitive range determination will be made. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, technical requirements, and also provides the best value to the Government based on the results of the evaluation described in paragraph (c) below. (5) To receive consideration for award the Offeror shall possess a Secret facility clearance and have the ability of obtain a TOP Secret facility clearances with Government sponsorship. c. Evaluation Criteria (1) Evaluation criteria consist of factors and subfactors. The proposals will be evaluated under Three (3) evaluation factors and two (2) subfactors: Factor 1 - Technical Capability Subfactor 1 - Personnel Qualifications Subfactor 2 - Staffing Approach & Equipment Subfactor 3 - Safety Record Factor 2 - Past Performance Factor 3 - Price (2) Factor 1 - Technical Factor - The Technical Factor evaluation provides an assessment of the offeror's capability to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements. An offeror must be found acceptable in both sub-factors in order to be considered acceptable for the factor. SUBFACTOR 1 - PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS 1. The Government will evaluate the suitability of the proposed personnel based on their demonstrated qualifications, education, and experience.

The Offeror shall provide UXO/EOD Technicians III with eight (8) or more years EOD and/or commercial UXO experience in munitions response actions or range clearance activities and a graduate of a military EOD school of the United States or a graduate of a military EOD school of Canada, Great Britain, Germany or Australia or a graduate of a formal training course of instruction or EOD assistant courses as described in chapter 3 of the Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board (DDESB) Technical Paper (TP) 18. d. The offeror shall provide UXO/EOD Technicians II with three (3) or more years EOD experience or in munitions response actions or range clearance activities and a graduate of a military EOD school of the United States or a graduate of a military EOD school of Canada, Great Britain, Germany or Australia or a graduate of a formal training course of instruction or EOD assistant courses as described in chapter 3 of the Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board (DDESB) Technical Paper (TP) 18. e. All personnel will have a minimum of a secret clearance (or be in the process to obtain one) with the Program Manager having a Top Secret Clearance. SUBFACTOR 2 - STAFFING APPROACH & EQUIPMENT 1. Staffing Approach: The Government will evaluate the Staffing Plan to determine the adequacy of the offeror's staffing approach to meet the requirements of the PWS. This will include an assessment of the following: • Understanding of range clean-up, clearance and recovery immediately after a mission and requirements necessary to ensure the safety of individuals on the range before, during and after a mission. (PWS 1.4) • Whether the offeror's proposed staffing has sufficient labors hours and skill mix to support all WSMR missions to include surge missions. (PWS 5.2.1.5) • Adequacy of the approach to hire and retain personnel described under Personnel Qualifications. • Adequacy of the approach to surge requirements to include the ability to minimize disruption to operations. 2. Equipment: The offeror's proposed equipment and supplies listing will be evaluated to determine whether the proposed equipment and supplies are realistic and adequate to satisfy PWS requirements and that it reflects the type of equipment typically used (PWS 1.6.24.1). SUBFACTOR 3 - SAFETY RECORD The offeror's required safety data will be evaluated to determine if the company's safety record compares favorably to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Industry Standard using the NAICS code 541330 Engineering Services or the code used on previous OSHA Logs. To be acceptable, the offeror's TCIR and DART rates averaged over the three year period must be equal to or less than the most recent published BLS Industry Standard. Technical will be evaluated using the following ratings: TECHNICAL EVALUATION RATINGS RATING DESCRIPTION Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. (3) Factor 2 - Past Performance - The Past Performance evaluation will assess the offeror's probability of meeting the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. Past Performance is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror's recent past performance and focusing on performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror's proposal and data obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems and State Department Watch Lists. Past performance areas of evaluation include: - Quality of Service - Schedule - Cost Control - Customer Satisfaction (a) Each offeror will receive a performance confidence assessment rating based on the Offeror's recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the Contract requirements. (b) Recency Assessment. An 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 3 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated. (c) Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and complexity. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature of work, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this solicitation. Recent past performance is defined as not more than 3 years from the RFP release date; relevant in terms of similar nature of work, size and complexity. A relevancy determination of the offeror's (including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s)) past performance will be made. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. 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. The past performance information provided in the proposal and obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance. (d) The Past Performance Evaluation Team will review past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to the following areas: 1. The Offeror's proposals shall demonstrate an understanding of the process required to operate the Range Residue Accumulation Point (RRAP) and the process for preparing range residue for maximum sale prices. (PWS 5.2.1) To be found Acceptable: The offeror shall provide recent and relevant past performance on two (2) contracts having demilitarized munition and performing scrap metal sales. 2. The Offeror's proposal shall show EOD related past performance on test ranges since many weapons are still in the RDT&E stage and requires working closely with the developer of the weapons. (PWS 5.5.1) To be found Acceptable: The offeror shall provide recent and relevant past performance on two (2) contracts having performed work on a Major Range and or Test Facility Base (MRTFB) as identified in DoD Directive 3200.11. This directive lists all MRTFB's. (e) Assigning Ratings. The Past Performance Factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below. PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RATINGS RATING DESCRIPTION Acceptable Based 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 ) Unacceptable Based 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 (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable." (4) Factor 4 - Price - Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b). Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete and balanced. Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the two (2) year base period, 1st option, 2nd option and 3rd option, and 1/2 of the 3rd option. Offerors are not required to enter a price for the six-month period. Unbalanced Pricing may be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), as applicable, to assess potential performance risk which could result in unreasonably high prices. ======================================================================== All proposal must be emailed to Mr. Worner Heath @ worner.o.heath.civ@mail.mil.
