52.219-28 POST-AWARD SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM REREPRESENTATION (JUN 2007)(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options. However, the term

does not include contracts that exceed five years in duration because the period of performance has been extended for a cumulative period not to exceed six months under the clause at 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or other appropriate authority.

Small business concern means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (c) of this clause.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(2) Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the merger or acquisition occurred prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(3) For long-term contracts--(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of

the contract; and(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the exercise date specified in the contract for any option thereafter.

(c) The Contractor shall rerepresent its size status in accordance with the size standard in effect at the time of this rerepresentation that corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this contract. The small business size standard corresponding to this NAICS code can be found at http://www.sba.gov/services/contractingopportunities/sizestandardstopics/

N68335-08-R-0165

Page 22 of 46

(d) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing a product which it does not manufacture itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees.

(e) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this clause, the Contractor shall make the rerepresentation required by paragraph (b) of this clause by validating or updating all its representations in the Online Representations and Certifications Application and its data in the Central Contractor Registration, as necessary, to ensure they reflect current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting office by e-mail, or otherwise in writing, that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update. (f) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or (g) of this clause.

(g) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in ORCA, or does not have a representation in ORCA for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following rerepresentation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the rerepresentation was completed:

The Contractor represents that it [ ] is, [ ] is not a small business concern under NAICS Code 336413 assigned to contract number [_______TBD_______]. [Contractor to sign and date and insert authorized signer's name and title].

52.233-4 APPLICABLE LAW FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT CLAIM (OCT 2004)United States law will apply to resolve any claim of breach of this contract.


52.248-1 VALUE ENGINEERING (FEB 2000)(a) General. The Contractor is encouraged to develop, prepare, and submit value engineering change proposals

(VECP's) voluntarily. The Contractor shall share in any net acquisition savings realized from accepted VECP's, in accordance with the incentive sharing rates in paragraph (f) below.

(b) Definitions. "Acquisition savings,'' as used in this clause, means savings resulting from the application of a VECP to

contracts awarded by the same contracting office or its successor for essentially the same unit. Acquisition savings include--

(1) Instant contract savings, which are the net cost reductions on this, the instant contract, and which are equal to the instant unit cost reduction multiplied by the number of instant contract units affected by the VECP, less the Contractor's allowable development and implementation costs;

(2) Concurrent contract savings, which are net reductions in the prices of other contracts that are definitized and ongoing at the time the VECP is accepted; and

(3) Future contract savings, which are the product of the future unit cost reduction multiplied by the number of future contract units in the sharing base. On an instant contract, future contract savings include savings on increases in quantities after VECP acceptance that are due to contract modifications, exercise of options, additional orders, and funding of subsequent year requirements on a multiyear contract.

N68335-08-R-0165

Page 23 of 46

"Collateral savings," as used in this clause, means those measurable net reductions resulting from a VECP in the agency's overall projected collateral costs, exclusive of acquisition savings, whether or not the acquisition cost changes.

"Contracting office" includes any contracting office that the acquisition is transferred to, such as another branch of the agency or another agency's office that is performing a joint acquisition action.

"Contractor's development and implementation costs," as used in this clause, means those costs the Contractor incurs on a VECP specifically in developing, testing, preparing, and submitting the VECP, as well as those costs the Contractor incurs to make the contractual changes required by Government acceptance of a VECP.

"Future unit cost reduction," as used in this clause, means the instant unit cost reduction adjusted as the Contracting Officer considers necessary for projected learning or changes in quantity during the sharing period. It is calculated at the time the VECP is accepted and applies either--

(1) Throughout the sharing period, unless the Contracting Officer decides that recalculation is necessary because conditions are significantly different from those previously anticipated; or

(2) To the calculation of a lump-sum payment, which cannot later be revised. "Government costs," as used in this clause, means those agency costs that result directly from developing and

implementing the VECP, such as any net increases in the cost of testing, operations, maintenance, and logistics support. The term does not include the normal administrative costs of processing the VECP or any increase in this contract's cost or price resulting from negative instant contract savings.

"Instant contract," as used in this clause, means this contract, under which the VECP is submitted. It does not include increases in quantities after acceptance of the VECP that are due to contract modifications, exercise of options, or additional orders. If this is a multiyear contract, the term does not include quantities funded after VECP acceptance. If this contract is a fixed-price contract with prospective price redetermination, the term refers to the period for which firm prices have been established.

"Instant unit cost reduction" means the amount of the decrease in unit cost of performance (without deducting any Contractor's development or implementation costs) resulting from using the VECP on this, the instant contract. If this is a service contract, the instant unit cost reduction is normally equal to the number of hours per line-item task saved by using the VECP on this contract, multiplied by the appropriate contract labor rate.

"Negative instant contract savings" means the increase in the cost or price of this contract when the acceptance of a VECP results in an excess of the Contractor's allowable development and implementation costs over the product of the instant unit cost reduction multiplied by the number of instant contract units affected.

"Net acquisition savings" means total acquisition savings, including instant, concurrent, and future contract savings, less Government costs.

"Sharing base," as used in this clause, means the number of affected end items on contracts of the contracting office accepting the VECP.

"Sharing period," as used in this clause, means the period beginning with acceptance of the first unit incorporating the VECP and ending at a calendar date or event determined by the contracting officer for each VECP.

"Unit," as used in this clause, means the item or task to which the Contracting Officer and the Contractor agree the VECP applies.

"Value engineering change proposal (VECP)" means a proposal that-- (1) Requires a change to this, the instant contract, to implement; and (2) Results in reducing the overall projected cost to the agency without impairing essential functions or

characteristics; provided, that it does not involve a change-- (i) In deliverable end item quantities only; (ii) In research and development (R&D) end items or R&D test quantities that is due solely to results of

previous testing under this contract; or (iii) To the contract type only.

(c) VECP preparation. As a minimum, the Contractor shall include in each VECP the information described in subparagraphs (c)(1) through (8) below. If the proposed change is affected by contractually required configuration management or similar procedures, the instructions in those procedures relating to format, identification, and priority assignment shall govern VECP preparation. The VECP shall include the following:

(1) A description of the difference between the existing contract requirement and the proposed requirement, the comparative advantages and disadvantages of each, a justification when an item's function or characteristics are being altered, the effect of the change on the end item's performance, and any pertinent objective test data.

N68335-08-R-0165

Page 24 of 46

(2) A list and analysis of the contract requirements that must be changed if the VECP is accepted, including any suggested specification revisions.

(3) Identification of the unit to which the VECP applies. (4) A separate, detailed cost estimate for (i) the affected portions of the existing contract requirement and (ii)

the VECP. The cost reduction associated with the VECP shall take into account the Contractor's allowable development and implementation costs, including any amount attributable to subcontracts under the Subcontracts paragraph of this clause, below.

(5) A description and estimate of costs the Government may incur in implementing the VECP, such as test and evaluation and operating and support costs.

(6) A prediction of any effects the proposed change would have on collateral costs to the agency. (7) A statement of the time by which a contract modification accepting the VECP must be issued in order to

achieve the maximum cost reduction, noting any effect on the contract completion time or delivery schedule. (8) Identification of any previous submissions of the VECP, including the dates submitted, the agencies and

contract numbers involved, and previous Government actions, if known. (d) Submission. The Contractor shall submit VECP's to the Contracting Officer, unless this contract states

otherwise. If this contract is administered by other than the contracting office, the Contractor shall submit a copy of the VECP simultaneously to the Contracting Officer and to the Administrative Contracting Officer.

(e) Government action. (1) The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor of the status of the VECP within 45 calendar days after the contracting office receives it. If additional time is required, the Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor within the 45-day period and provide the reason for the delay and the expected date of the decision. The Government will process VECP's expeditiously; however, it shall not be liable for any delay in acting upon a VECP.

(2) If the VECP is not accepted, the Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor in writing, explaining the reasons for rejection. The Contractor may withdraw any VECP, in whole or in part, at any time before it is accepted by the Government. The Contracting Officer may require that the Contractor provide written notification before undertaking significant expenditures for VECP effort.

(3) Any VECP may be accepted, in whole or in part, by the Contracting Officer's award of a modification to this contract citing this clause and made either before or within a reasonable time after contract performance is completed. Until such a contract modification applies a VECP to this contract, the Contractor shall perform in accordance with the existing contract. The decision to accept or reject all or part of any VECP is a unilateral decision made solely at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

(f) Sharing rates. If a VECP is accepted, the Contractor shall share in net acquisition savings according to the percentages shown in the table below. The percentage paid the Contractor depends upon--

(1) This contract's type (fixed-price, incentive, or cost-reimbursement); (2) The sharing arrangement specified in paragraph (a) above (incentive, program requirement, or a

combination as delineated in the Schedule); and (3) The source of the savings (the instant contract, or concurrent and future contracts), as follows:

(1) The Contracting Officer may increase the Contractor's sharing rate to as high as 75 percent for each VECP. (2) Same sharing arrangement as the contract's profit or fee adjustment formula.(3) The Contracting Officer may increase the Contractor's sharing rate to as high as 50 percent for each

VECP.

(g) Calculating net acquisition savings. (1) Acquisition savings are realized when (i) the cost or price is reduced on the instant contract, (ii) reductions are negotiated in concurrent contracts, (iii) future contracts are awarded, or (iv) agreement is reached on a lump-sum payment for future contract savings (see subparagraph (i)(4) below). Net acquisition savings are first realized, and the Contractor shall be paid a share, when Government costs and any negative instant contract savings have been fully offset against acquisition savings.

(2) Except in incentive contracts, Government costs and any price or cost increases resulting from negative instant contract savings shall be offset against acquisition savings each time such savings are realized until they are fully offset. Then, the Contractor's share is calculated by multiplying net acquisition savings by the appropriate Contractor's percentage sharing rate (see paragraph (f) of this clause). Additional Contractor shares of net acquisition savings shall be paid to the Contractor at the time realized.

(3) If this is an incentive contract, recovery of Government costs on the instant contract shall be deferred and offset against concurrent and future contract savings. The Contractor shall share through the contract incentive structure in savings on the instant contract items affected. Any negative instant contract savings shall be added to the target cost or to the target price and ceiling price, and the amount shall be offset against concurrent and future contract savings.

(4) If the Government does not receive and accept all items on which it paid the Contractor's share, the Contractor shall reimburse the Government for the proportionate share of these payments.

(h) Contract adjustment. The modification accepting the VECP (or a subsequent modification issued as soon as possible after any negotiations are completed) shall--

(1) Reduce the contract price or estimated cost by the amount of instant contract savings, unless this is an incentive contract;

(2) When the amount of instant contract savings is negative, increase the contract price, target price and ceiling price, target cost, or estimated cost by that amount;

(3) Specify the Contractor's dollar share per unit on future contracts, or provide the lump-sum payment; (4) Specify the amount of any Government costs or negative instant contract savings to be offset in

determining net acquisition savings realized from concurrent or future contract savings; and (5) Provide the Contractor's share of any net acquisition savings under the instant contract in accordance with

the following: (i) Fixed-price contracts--add to contract price. (ii) Cost-reimbursement contracts--add to contract fee.

N68335-08-R-0165

Page 26 of 46

(i) Concurrent and future contract savings.(1) Payments of the Contractor's share of concurrent and future contract savings shall be made by a

modification to the instant contract in accordance with subparagraph (h)(5) above. For incentive contracts, shares shall be added as a separate firm-fixed-price line item on the instant contract. The Contractor shall maintain records adequate to identify the first delivered unit for 3 years after final payment under this contract.

(2) The Contracting Officer shall calculate the Contractor's share of concurrent contract savings by-- (i) Subtracting from the reduction in price negotiated on the concurrent contract any Government costs or

negative instant contract savings not yet offset; and (ii) Multiplying the result by the Contractor's sharing rate.

(3) The Contracting Officer shall calculate the Contractor's share of future contract savings by-- (i) Multiplying the future unit cost reduction by the number of future contract units scheduled for delivery

during the sharing period; (ii) Subtracting any Government costs or negative instant contract savings not yet offset; and (iii) Multiplying the result by the Contractor's sharing rate.

(4) When the Government wishes and the Contractor agrees, the Contractor's share of future contract savings may be paid in a single lump sum rather than in a series of payments over time as future contracts are awarded. Under this alternate procedure, the future contract savings may be calculated when the VECP is accepted, on the basis of the Contracting Officer's forecast of the number of units that will be delivered during the sharing period. The Contractor's share shall be included in a modification to this contract (see subparagraph (h)(3) above) and shall not be subject to subsequent adjustment.

(5) Alternate no-cost settlement method. When, in accordance with subsection 48.104-4 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the Government and the Contractor mutually agree to use the no-cost settlement method, the following applies:

(i) The Contractor will keep all the savings on the instant contract and on its concurrent contracts only. (ii) The Government will keep all the savings resulting from concurrent contracts placed on other sources,

savings from all future contracts, and all collateral savings. (j) Collateral savings. If a VECP is accepted, the Contracting Officer will increase the instant contract amount,

as specified in paragraph (h)(5) of this clause, by a rate from 20 to 100 percent, as determined by the Contracting Officer, of any projected collateral savings determined to be realized in a typical year of use after subtracting any Government costs not previously offset. However, the Contractor's share of collateral savings will not exceed the contract's firm-fixed-price, target price, target cost, or estimated cost, at the time the VECP is accepted, or $100,000, whichever is greater. The Contracting Officer will be the sole determiner of the amount of collateral savings.

(k) Relationship to other incentives. Only those benefits of an accepted VECP not rewardable under performance, design-to-cost (production unit cost, operating and support costs, reliability and maintainability), or similar incentives shall be rewarded under this clause. However, the targets of such incentives affected by the VECP shall not be adjusted because of VECP acceptance. If this contract specifies targets but provides no incentive to surpass them, the value engineering sharing shall apply only to the amount of achievement better than target.

(l) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include an appropriate value engineering clause in any subcontract of $100,000 or more and may include one in subcontracts of lesser value. In calculating any adjustment in this contract's price for instant contract savings (or negative instant contract savings), the Contractor's allowable development and implementation costs shall include any subcontractor's allowable development and implementation costs, and any value engineering incentive payments to a subcontractor, clearly resulting from a VECP accepted by the Government under this contract. The Contractor may choose any arrangement for subcontractor value engineering incentive payments; provided, that the payments shall not reduce the Government's share of concurrent or future contract savings or collateral savings.

(m) Data. The Contractor may restrict the Government's right to use any part of a VECP or the supporting data by marking the following legend on the affected parts:

These data, furnished under the Value Engineering clause of contract ________, shall not be disclosed outside the Government or duplicated, used, or disclosed, in whole or in part, for any purpose other than to evaluate a value engineering change proposal submitted under the clause. Th€is restriction does not limit the Go€vernment's right to use information contained in these data if it has been obtained or is otherwise available from the Contractor or from another source without limitations.

52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (MAY 2008)(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; 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 [ ], have not [ ], 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) "Principals," for the purposes of this certification, means officers; directors; owners; partners; and, persons having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a subsidiary, division, or business segment, and similar positions). This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States and the Making of a False, Fictitious, or

N68335-08-R-0165

Page 34 of 46

Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code.

(b) 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.

(c) 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. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

52.215-6 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE (OCT 1997) (a) The offeror or respondent, in the performance of any contract resulting from this solicitation, [ ] intends, [

] does not intend [check applicable block] to use one or more plants or facilities located at a different address from the address of the offeror or respondent as indicated in this proposal or response to request for information.

(2) Such data are needed to bid or perform on a contract with the Department of Defense, or other U.S. Government agency, or for other legitimate business purposes in which the U.S. Contractor is engaged, or plans to engage. The purpose for which the data are needed shall be described sufficiently in such certification to permit an evaluation of whether subsequent requests for data are related properly to such business purpose.

(3) The U.S. Contractor acknowledges its responsibilities under U.S. export control laws and regulations (including the obligation, under certain circumstances to obtain an export license prior to the release of technical data within the United States) and agrees that it will not disseminate any export-controlled technical data subject to the Directive in a manner that would violate applicable export control laws and regulations.

(5) To the best of its knowledge and belief, the U.S. Contractor knows or no person employed by it, or acting on its behalf, who will have access to such data, who is debarred, suspended or otherwise ineligible to perform under U.S. Government contracts; or has violated U.S. export control laws or a certification previously made to the Department of Defense under the provisions of the Directive.

(6) The U.S. contractor itself is not debarred, suspended, or otherwise determined ineligible by any agency of the U.S. Government to perform on U.S. Government contracts, has not been convicted of export control law violations, and has not been disqualified under the provisions of this Directive.

(b) Private individuals or enterprises are certified as Qualified U.S. Contractors by submitting a DD Form 2345 (attached hereto) to Commander, Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS), Federal Center, Battle Creek, Michigan 49017-3084.

Page 42 of 46

the price of the hardware. This volume shall be limited to 15 pages and should address each element.

Volume 2 – Price Volume

The offeror should submit a complete, executed solicitation document (Standard Form 33). One original and one copy of the entire solicitation package should be provided.

ATTN: Ms. Christine SomersetContract Specialist(732) 323-1600

MARK FOR SOLICITATION N68335-08-R-0165

Written Content Requirements:

Each volume of the proposal shall contain a Table of Contents with reference to topic, applicable paragraph/ subparagraph, and page numbers.

Proposals must be typewritten in a type and size not smaller than a type print similar to “elite” on an 8 1/2” by 11” paper. Any pages exceeding the limitation will be removed prior to evaluation. Size of pages must be uniform; however, double size foldout charts or diagrams may be used and will count for two pages each.

The page limits INCLUDE pages such as: Table of Contents, list of tables/ figures, tab pages, acronym listings, etc.

The ability of the offeror to present a technically complete, clear, coherent, and legible proposal shall be indicative of the offeror’s ability to provide the high quality services that will be necessary to complete the contract.

The information submitted should clearly indicate the offeror’s understanding of the proposal requirements through the submission of a satisfactorily completed proposal. Statements of the nature that the offeror understands, can, or will comply or meet the solicitation requirements, or which merely paraphrase the specification or parts thereof are considered inadequate. Phrases such as “Standard procedures will be employed” or “Well known techniques will be used” are also inadequate and unsatisfactory. A proposal, which does not address any of the proposal requirements described in the following sections, will be considered non-responsive to that requirement and may be a basis for eliminating the proposal for further consideration.

Evaluation Factors

1) Past Performance (Factor)a) Quality (Element)b) Timeliness of Delivery (Element)c) Customer Satisfaction (Element)

N68335-08-R-0165

Page 43 of 46

2) Price (Factor)

The Evaluation Factor of Past Performance is slightly more important than the Price Factor. Price is an important factor and should not be ignored. As the rating of proposals in relation to the non-cost factor becomes more equal, Price will become more of a deciding factor in selecting the best value offer.

VOLUME 1 – Past Performance

The offeror shall submit Past Performance Information Data (per attached form) that includes details for a minimum of two and a maximum of four of their most recent contracts and/or subcontracts, awarded for identical or similar supplies, completed within the last five (5) years. Identify in specific detail for each why and how you consider that effort relevant or similar to the effort required by this solicitation. Contracts listed may include those entered into with the Federal Government, agencies of state and local governments, and commercial customers. Offerors that are newly formed entities without prior contracts should list contracts and subcontracts as required above for all critical personnel.

The offeror shall use the remarks block to provide information on problems (show cause, curative notice, termination for delinquency, quality issues, defective pricing issues, litigation, etc.) encountered on these contracts and corrective actions taken to resolve those problems.

Important Note: Award may be made from initial offers without discussions. However, if discussions are held, offerors will be given an opportunity to address unfavorable reports of performance risk if the offeror has not had a previous opportunity to review the rating. Recent contracts will be examined to ensure that corrective measures have been implemented. Prompt corrective action in isolated instances may override negative trends.

The Government will collect information from references provided by the offeror in regard to its past performance. The Past Performance Customer Evaluation Form identified in the solicitation attachments will be used to collect this information. References other than those identified by the offeror and the information received will be used in the evaluation of the offeror’s past performance.

The offeror must provide the information requested for performance risk evaluation, or affirmatively state that it possesses no directly related or similar past performance. Firms lacking relevant past performance shall receive an “unknown” evaluation for performance risk.

Evaluation of past performance will be as objective as possible based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration.

The following Past Performance elements shall be addressed in narrative form:

A. Quality - Provide a synopsis of compliance with requirements, accuracy of reports, appropriateness of personnel, technical excellence, quality award(s), work under warranty necessary, termination for default.

B. Timeliness of Delivery – Provide a synopsis of meeting interim milestones, reliability, responsive to technical direction, and completed on time.

C. Customer Satisfaction . Response to customer inquiries, problem resolution time and quality, satisfaction of end user with contract’s services or products, willingness to select firm again.

In order to verify performance, the references cited under this section (both private and Government) will be contacted. A past performance survey questionnaire will be sent to each reference. Offerors are required to send their listed private sector references a letter authorizing release of the

N68335-08-R-0165

Page 44 of 46

requested information to the Government. Failure to authorize responses from your references may affect the assessment of your offer and impact on the evaluation score. Offerors will be given the opportunity to comment or rebut the negative results of the surveys during discussions, if discussions are conducted. Generalizations will not be considered substantively material to change the rating. Any response in rebuttal to a survey must include factual support for the contractor’s assessment of the situation.

VOLUME 2 – Price

The offeror shall provide separate price information containing prices for each and every line item as designated in the solicitation. The offeror should ensure that all certifications and representations within Section K of the solicitation have been accurately completed. An original and one copy of the price proposal shall be submitted.

Price proposals shall be effective for 120 days from the closing date for receipt of offers.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award


5252.209-9502 WAIVER AND EVALUATION OF FIRST ARTICLE TESTING AND APPROVAL (NAVAIR) (OCT 2005)

(a) As used herein, the term:(1) “first article,” means preproduction models, initial production samples, test samples, first lots, pilot lots,

and pilot models;(2) “first article testing,” means testing and evaluation the first article for conformance with specified contract

requirements before or in the initial stage of production;(3) “approval” means the Contracting Officer’s written notification to the contractor accepting the test results

of the first article.(b) Offerors are advised that first article testing is required as a part of this contract in accordance with clause

FAR 52.209-3, “First Article Approval – Contractor Testing” or FAR 52.209-4, “First Article Approval – Government Testing”. The Government may waive this requirement when supplies identical or similar to those called for in the Schedule have previously been furnished by the offeror and have been accepted by the Government. If the offeror meets these conditions, the offeror shall list below the Government contract number(s) under which supplies identical or similar to those called for in the Schedule have previously been accepted by the Government:

ContractContractContract Number Agency award date delivery date______________ _______________________________ _________ __________ ______________ _______________________________ _________ __________

(c) The Government may at its sole discretion, make an award excluding first article testing and approval. If the Government elects to waive first article testing and approval, the offer will be evaluated excluding first article testing and approval. Any differences in delivery schedules resulting from a waiver of first article testing will not be a factor in the evaluation for award.

(d) If the Government elects to waive first article testing, the First Article Approval clause set forth in the Section I and all other references to first article testing will be deleted in the contract at award.

(e) The prices for first article and first article tests in relation to production quantities shall not be materially unbalance, if first article test items or tests are to be separately priced.

BEST VALUE EVALUATION CRITERIASection M: Best Value Evaluation Criteria

The contract resulting from this solicitation will be awarded to that responsible offeror, conforming to the solicitation, determined to represent the best value to the Government, cost/price, and past performance considered. The offeror’s proposal shall be in the form prescribed by this solicitation and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified, which affect the evaluation factors for award.

Evaluation of an offeror’s proposal will be based on the information presented in the written proposal presented to the Government along with input obtained from outside sources relevant to past performance. Significant deficiencies or lack of response to the factor or elements may be used as a basis for eliminating a proposal from further consideration. Additionally, the rating of the performance risk factor as High Risk may also be used as a basis for eliminating a proposal from further consideration.

The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s methods and approach meet the Evaluation Factors of:

Evaluation Factors

1) Past Performance (Factor)

N68335-08-R-0165

Page 46 of 46

a) Quality (Element)b) Timeliness of Delivery (Element)c) Customer Satisfaction (Element)

2) Price (Factor)

The Evaluation Factor of Past Performance is slightly more important than the Price Factor. Price is an important factor and should not be ignored. As the rating of proposals in relation to the non-cost factor becomes more equal, Price will become more of a deciding factor in selecting the best value offer.

The Government may award a contract on the basis of initial offers received, without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price standpoint. However, if considered necessary by the Contracting Officer, discussions will be conducted with only those offerors determined to be within the competitive range.

The Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the lowest priced offeror if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government.
