• The Offeror’s process for screening personnel resources to ensure availability and ability to perform, suitability to pass OCC background investigations (involves credit checks and completion of an electronic Questionnaire for Investigations Processing), and quality of performance.

Technical Approach. Offerors shall describe and demonstrate the soundness of their approach, methodology, technique, or plan to accomplish each task include optional tasks (Tasks 1 through 3) identified in the Continuation Sheet. Offerors shall separately address each task.

The Offeror shall propose key personnel that demonstrate the level and depth of professional expertise and experience necessary to successfully meet or exceed the requirements found in the Continuation Sheet. At a minimum, the Offeror shall provide a brief narrative that defines the key personnel’s role during performance. For each designated member of key personnel, the proposal shall include as an attachment a resume not to exceed two pages.

At a minimum, the Offeror shall submit a matrix that identifies key personnel position, degree(s), certification, and years of relevant experience. Below is an example matrix template, but a Offeror may include additional information or format in whatever way the Offeror believes best communicates the information.

Please ensure resumes clearly demonstrate the minimum requirements as stated in the Continuation Sheet.

At a minimum, the following categories shall be designated as key personnel:

• Program Manager II


• Program Manager I


• Logistics Manager


• Facilitator

By submitting a proposal each Offeror certifies to the following statement: “I certify that each individual identified as key personnel is available for performance. If an individual identified as key personnel is not currently employed by my firm or a proposed subcontractor, the individual has signed a written commitment to perform if my quote receives an award.”

Past Performance. OCC will evaluate recent and relevant past performance of each Offeror. This past performance may include prime or subcontractors you consider most relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. However, you must include at least one reference for any subcontractor that will perform a large portion of the work.

Offerors may submit up to two examples of contracts performed by the Offeror or subcontractors, demonstrating recent and relevant past performance. Recent is defined as within the last five years from the date of this RFP. Relevant is defined as work similar in scope, complexity and magnitude to that identified in the work requirements defined in the Continuation Sheet. Please include the following information, limited to no more than two pages:

1. Customer Name and Address;


2. Contract Number/Contract Title/Contract Type;


3. Delivery Schedule/Period of Performance;


4. Contract Value;


5. Description of the work performed;


6. Customer Point of Contact (Name, Telephone Number, and Address) for Technical Manager;


7. Contracting Officer’s name, telephone number, and email address;


8. Current status, e.g. completed and/or in progress, start and estimated completion dates;


9. Key personnel, please identify those individuals who worked on the relevant project and are also proposed for this effort; and,


10. A brief narrative of why your firm believes this reference is relevant to the proposed order.

OCC may use any other available information in the evaluation of past performance.

Page Limitation. Excluding cover page, table of contents, and resumes of key personnel, the technical proposal (including all non-price factors) is limited to twenty (20) pages. The font and format should be of readable quality. Excessively small font may be rejected or not evaluated at the Contracting Officer’s discretion.

Offerors shall not include any price information in the technical proposal. For the overall technical proposal, a recitation or paraphrasing of the requirements already identified in the work requirements will not improve the proposal.

Volume II: Price Proposal

Each Offeror shall submit a price proposal separate from the technical proposal (Volume I).

The price proposal shall include the following:

1. Completion of the fill-ins under FAR 52.212-4 with Alternate I.
   
   
   
   • Completion of fill-in under FAR 52.212-4(a)(4) in the Continuation Sheet
   
   
   • Completion of fill-in under FAR 52.212-4(e)(1)(iii)(D) in the Continuation Sheet
   
   
   
   


2. Completion of the Pricing Sheet. The labor categories and number of hours are solely for evaluation purposes and should neither be considered a minimum nor an expectation of actual requirements. The labor rate must include all costs associated with performance including all overhead, overtime, local travel, and any other costs not expressly identified as an Other Direct Cost (ODC). Offerors shall include a detailed itemization of proposed costs (i.e. description, quantity, unit price, etc.). Travel has been added to the Pricing Sheet for evaluation purposes only. Travel shall be reimbursed based on incurred costs per the current Federal Travel Regulation. OCC will evaluate the quoted prices for reasonableness. OCC reserves the right to conduct a price realism analysis to assess whether the quoted rates are unrealistically low. Unrealistically low labor rates may be considered a negative attribute to the extent that they reflect a lack of technical understanding or a risk inherent in the proposed approach.

Page Limitation. There is no page limitation on the price quote submission.

Volume III: Representations and Certifications

Offerors shall ensure their responses to the following provisions in the Continuation Sheet are submitted as a part of their submission:

1. Completed FAR 52.204-24. NOTE: "[t]he Offeror shall not complete the representation at paragraph (d)(1) of this provision if the Offeror has represented that it "does not provide covered telecommunications equipment or services as a part of its offered products or services to the Government in the performance of any contract, subcontract, or other contractual instrument" in paragraph (c)(1) in the provision at 52.204-26, Covered Telecommunications Equipment or Services—Representation, or in paragraph (v)(2)(i) of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Products or Commercial Services. The Offeror shall not complete the representation in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision if the Offeror has represented that it "does not use covered telecommunications equipment or services, or any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services" in paragraph (c)(2) of the provision at 52.204-26, or in paragraph (v)(2)(ii) of the provision at 52.212-3."


2. Completed FAR 52.212-3. NOTE: Offerors shall complete only paragraph (b)(2) of the provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) website.

Page Limitation. There is no page limitation on the representations and certifications submission.

Evaluation and Selection Process

As this award is made under the policies of FAR part 12 in conjunction with FAR part 13 procedures, the evaluation process is streamlined, and OCC has considerable flexibility in its award decision. OCC will evaluate the proposal considering positive attributes, negative attributes, and potential risk of the overall proposal.

During the evaluation process, OCC may or may not conduct exchanges. If OCC conducts exchanges, such exchanges may be with one, several, or all Offerors. Exchanges may vary based on OCC’s need to understand or give Offerors an opportunity to improve their proposals, but all exchanges will be fair and equitable.

Only Offerors whose quotes receive an overall technical rating of acceptable or higher will be considered for award. Following an evaluation and, if necessary, tradeoff analysis, OCC may make one award based on the quote that is evaluated to be the best value and determined responsible.

OCC reserves the right to make an award based on other than the lowest quoted price.

Technical (Volume I) is more important than price (Volume II); however, the importance of price as a factor could become greater if competing proposals are evaluated as technically equal.
