(2) Introduction and Purpose - This section specifies the format that offers should use in proposals submitted in response to this solicitation. The intent is not to restrict the offerors in the manner in which they will perform their work but rather to ensure a certain degree of uniformity in the format of the proposals for evaluation purposes. (3) Each volume should contain the following items in addition to the other information required by this solicitation: Cover: The cover should indicate the following: Title of the proposal Volume Number (I or II) Solicitation number Name, address, and phone number of offeror Identification of original signature copies Table of Contents: The table of contents should provide detail sufficient to allow the important elements to be easily located. (4) Requirements for Style: Each offeror shall submit a proposal that clearly and concisely sets forth the contractor's response to the requirements of the solicitation. Unnecessary elaboration or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the offeror's lack of cost consciousness. Elaborate artwork, expensive paper or bindings, and expensive visual or other presentation aids are neither necessary nor desired. The proposal shall contain all the pertinent information in sufficient detail in the one area of the proposal where it contributes most critically to the discussion. When necessary, the offeror shall refer to the initial discussion and identify its location within its proposal. III.PROPOSAL CONTENT (1) Volume I - Non-Price Proposal The Non-Price evaluation factors are listed below in descending order of importance: -PRIOR EXPERIENCE-TECHNICAL APPROACH The Non-price evaluation factors are listed in detail below: -PRIOR EXPERIENCE: The offeror's background, experience manufacturing NSN: 8120015271583, and qualifications will be assessed to determine the likelihood that that offeror can successfully perform the contract requirements and the degree of the risk of non-performance -TECHNICAL APPROACH: The proposal will be evaluated on how the offeror intends to organize, staff and manage the contract and the means that will be used to accomplish the contract requirements. The degree to which the proposal demonstrates an understanding of the requirements will be evaluated, as well as the offeror's planned management of consultants and subcontractors, if applicable. (2) Volume II - Price Proposal Volume II shall include the completed solicitation documents and a complete and detailed price schedule. The price/cost proposal shall support the Non-price proposal. If the price/cost proposal does not support the Non-price proposal, the offeror's overall technical proposal rating may be downgraded. The price/cost proposal shall include all elements of cost and such other cost information as considered appropriate to support the offeror's proposal. The evaluation of proposals will consider the offeror's Non-price proposal more important than the offeror's Price proposal. (a) Each offeror shall identify in its pricing proposal if the offeror intends to obtain engineering support services from the government for efforts related to this procurement. NAVSUP WSS intends to identify the level of support, if any, provided to an offeror by the government in the past fiscal year and assign the appropriate monetary value associated with any engineering support provided to an offeror during that fiscal year. This value will then be added accordingly to the unit price per repair in order to ensure that each offeror's price is evaluated equally. The Government shall not be responsible for compensating the Contractor for any costs tied to solicitation requirements but not factored into the proposed prices, either by the Contractor's intention or by mistake. SECTION M M0X - EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS FOR AWARD (SINGLE AWARD) The Government intends to make a single award to the eligible, responsible, technically acceptable contractor whose offer, conforms to the solicitation, is determined most advantageous to the Government. The evaluation will consider past performance as more important than price. The offeror's proposal shall be in the form prescribed by, and shall contain a response to each of the area identified in, the Section L solicitation provision entitled ""Submission of Proposals."" Only those proposals prepared in accordance with the solicitation will be evaluated. The Government reserves the right to award the contract to other than the lowest priced offer. (1) Past Performance. The Government will evaluate the quality of the offeror's past performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer's responsibility determination. The assessment of the offeror's past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the offeror and other competitors to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will receive a neutral rating for past performance. However, the proposal of an offeror with no relevant past performance history, while rated neutral in past performance, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the proposals of other offerors. The offeror must provide the information requested in the provision entitled Submission of Proposals in Section L or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly-related or similar past performance. An offeror failing to provide the past performance information or to assert that it has no relevant directly-related or similar past performance will be considered ineligible for award. The Government will utilize the DoD Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) (SPRS) program to evaluate past performance (refer to DFARS provision 252.213-7000, ""NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE SUPPLIERS ON USE OF SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE RISK SYSTEM (SPRS) IN PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS""). SPRS accumulates data on suppliers by Federal Supply Class (FSC). The Government will consider SPRS data for the Federal Supply Classes of all items included in this procurement. Based on comparisons among suppliers in a specific FSC group, SPRS sorts suppliers into color ratings representing the supplier's overall quality performance based on the following indices: |COLOR |POSITION | |Dark Blue|Top 5% of suppliers in FSC group | |Purple |Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group | |Green |Next 70% of suppliers in FSC group | |Yellow |Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group | |Red |Bottom 5% of suppliers in FSC group | If all supplier ratings for a specific FSC group are equal, all suppliers within that group will be classified Green. Suppliers with no history in SPRS will be displayed without a rating and, for evaluation, receive a neutral rating. (2) Price. Price is a secondary factor. (3) The non-price factors are again listed below in descending order of importance: - PRIOR EXPERIENCE - TECHNICAL APPROACH For all non-price factors (other than Past Performance), an offeror's proposal must be determined to be Acceptable to be eligible for award. A rating that is Unacceptable in any non-price evaluation factor will render a proposal ineligible for award consideration as submitted. For the purpose of preparing a price proposal, the offeror shall assume that the ordering period shall be from 23 APR 2024 through 23 MAY 2024. The evaluated price will be the offeror's total proposed price. Any delay in award or change in the period of performance start dates in the resulting award shall not entitled the contractor to a price adjustment. BASIS FOR SELECTION The Government will select the responsible Contractor whose proposal, in conforming to this RFP, provides the overall best value to meet the Government's requirements, price and non-price factors considered. Only the apparent successful contractor determined to be responsible pursuant to FAR 9.104-1 will be issued a contract. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and non-price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to determine that the offeror's overall firm fixed price proposal represents an unacceptable level of risk, based on the information submitted by the offeror. 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. THE FOLLWING REMARK IS HEREBY REMOVED: ""The Government intends to add an option quantity to the resultant contract. In reference to the option quantity,the Government may increase the quantity of supplies called for in the Schedule at the unit price specified.
