STATEMENT OF WORK

LEARNING SITE NORFOLKSHIPBOARD (SH) BARBER COURSE

1.0 Background

1.1 In October of 2000, the Navy embarked on what has become known as the Revolution in Training (RIT). The RIT began with an Executive Review of Navy Training (ERNT), which was a CNO-directed working group tasked to recommend ways to improve training, education, and learning throughout the Navy. The RIT established an organizational training structure consisting of the Naval Education and Training Command and its Learning Centers, Training Support Centers, and Learning Sites. Fundamental was the establishment of Learning Centers that are responsible for content development and maintenance of Sailor/Marine Continuum Training for specific Navy enlisted ratings and officer communities and professional military education. Each center provides the crucial link between individual training and fleet readiness.

1.2. Training Support Centers (TSCs) were established to provide support to the Learning Centers (LCs) in the daily execution of training requirements and provide centralized management of students, facilities and contracting in specific geographic regions.

1.3 Current Naval courses are group-paced, self-paced, and/or computer-based instruction, criterion-referenced, instructor managed, learner-centric, and classroom and/or laboratory environment instructional systems. One of the Navy’s RIT goals was to incorporate the science of learning into Navy curricula in order to improve proficiency, promote professional development, and reduce total time to train.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2EVALUATION OF QUOTATIONS

The government intends to award a single Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) type contract to the responsible vendor whose quotation, conforming to the RFQ, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and non-price factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotations:

1. Technical (Acceptable/Unacceptable)2. Past Performance (Acceptable/Unacceptable)3. Price

A determination of responsibility will be made prior to award.

The Government will conduct a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection. To determine LPTA, the Government will place all quotes in order of lowest total price to highest total price. Starting with the lowest total priced quote, the Government will review technical approach and past performance. If the quote is found to be “acceptable,” no other quotes will be reviewed and award will be made. However, if the quote is found to be “Unacceptable,” the next lowest total priced quote will be considered. This process will continue until either a quote is considered “Acceptable” or until all quotes have been considered “Unacceptable.”

In order to be considered awardable, the vendor must have received an “Acceptable” rating in every non-priced factor/sub-factor. LPTA non-price factors/sub-factors for this requirement will consist of Technical and Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated for acceptability based on the relevance and quality of the submitted contracts. Tradeoffs will not be used during the source selection process.

1.Technical Acceptability –The technical submission will be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable using the ratings and descriptions outlined in the table below. All Unacceptable technical submission will not be further evaluated. Each Vendor’s technical submission shall address the following:

Staffing Plan shall include: Vendors shall demonstrate a commitment to assign appropriately skilled and experienced individuals to the

tasks by submitting a matrix which cross references the proposed personnel’s name, education, certifications, and work experience against the required tasks in the PWS, and which clearly labels each position with employment status (i.e., currently employed by Vendor or proposed with a signed Letter of Intent), and states the current security level of all proposed personnel.

In addition to the matrix the vendor shall provide a supporting paragraph that details how the candidate’s education and experience meets or exceeds the requirements of PWS Section 27.0 and demonstrates the knowledge and capability to perform the tasks in the PWS.

The Vendor shall address the retention strategies used to maintain personnel in order to sustain a viable workforce.

In order to be considered Acceptable, vendors must receive an Acceptable rating for the technical submission in its entirety. The vendor must address each of the areas in sufficient detail so that the Government can reasonably determine that the vendor possesses the requisite ability to perform the contract. Such detail should take the form of an explanation of the vendor’s structure and processes that reflect its capabilities. Quotes that simply reiterate the requirements and state that they possess the capability to perform will be considered Unacceptable .

The Government will evaluate each vendor’s Technical Approach based on the information received in the vendor’s written quote. The Government will evaluate each vendor’s technical submission in accordance with the ratings table below:

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

N0018917QG040

of 44

Acceptable Submission clearly meets the minimum performance and capability requirements of the RFQ

Unacceptable Submission does not clearly meet the minimum performance and capability requirements of the RFQ

1. Past Performance Acceptability – The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the vendor’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance RFQ requirements. This assessment is based on the vendor’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertains to the services outlined in the RFQ requirements. Past Performance will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis. The ratings and descriptions are outlined in the table below:

Past Performance Acceptable/Unaceptable Ratings

Rating DescriptionAcceptable Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government has a

reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort, or the vendor’s performance record is unknown. (See note below).

Unacceptable Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

*NOTE: In the case of a vendor 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 can be reasonably assigned, the vendor may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the vendor shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

In order to facilitate the Government’s evaluation of this factor, the vendor shall provide information on no more than two (2) previous contracts whose effort was relevant to the effort required by this solicitation; the contracts provided should have been performed within the last three (3) years. Evaluation will focus only on work experience already performed. Yet-to be performed work and experience prior to the last three (3) years will not be considered. Vendors may submit performance data regarding current contract performance as long as a minimum of one year of performance has been completed as of the contract award date of this RFQ. The Government may verify past performance information. The Government may contact some or all of the references provided, as appropriate, and may collect information through questionnaires, telephone interviews and existing data sources to include but not limited to Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). 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. This past performance information will be used for the evaluation of past performance.

There is one (1) aspect/sub-factor of past performance evaluation:

a. Relevancy: The agency will evaluate the vendor’s past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the vendor is to the effort to be acquired. In establishing what is relevant for this acquisition, consideration has been given to those aspects of a vendor’s contract history that give the greatest ability to measure whether the vendor will satisfy the current procurement. Evaluation aspects of relevancy will include similarity of scope and magnitude.

Scope: The measure of the similarity of the scope of the PWS and the vendor’s contracts. The PWS scope meets the majority of the tasks as defined in the RFQ.

N0018917QG040

of 44

Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the dollar value of actually performed work that exists between the PWS and the vendor’s contracts/orders. Magnitude will be evaluated on the dollar amount of work actually performed under the contract(s)/order(s) during the relevant three (3) year period established by the RFQ.

Relevancy will be rated on a relevant and not relevant basis. The ratings and descriptions are outlined in the table below:

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating DefinitionRelevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and

magnitude of effort this RFQ requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort this RFQ requires.

Based on the information provided as well as any other information obtained as previously explained in this section, the government will evaluate each vendor’s Past Performance submission as acceptable or unacceptable.

2. Price – The vendor’s price submission shall include a complete and signed solicitation form, and if applicable, an executed copy of amendments. The government will evaluate pricing information submitted in accordance with the RFQ’s Addendum to FAR clause 52.212-2 by comparing it to other vendor’s prices or by using any other price comparison techniques deemed to be in the government’s best interest by the Contracting Officer.

Price will be evaluated by the Contracting Officer to determine fairness and reasonableness through the most appropriate method available pursuant to FAR Part 12 – Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Subpart 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. Price analysis will be used to determine the total evaluated price to support the selection of the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA ) quote.

The Government will conduct a LPTA source selection. To determine LPTA, the Government will place all quotes in order of lowest total price to highest total price. Starting with the lowest total priced quote, the Government will review technical approach. If the quote is found to be “acceptable,” no other quotes will be reviewed and award will be made. However, if the quote is found to be “Unacceptable,” the next lowest total priced quote will be considered. This process will continue until either a quote is considered “Acceptable” or until all quotes have been considered “Unacceptable.”

QUESTIONS: Any questions in relation to this RFQ shall be submitted to Rhonda Nielsen by e-mail at [email protected]. The cut-off date for questions is 12:00 p.m. eastern daylight seven (7) days after the release date of the solicitation.

Options will be evaluated pursuant to solicitation provision FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for bid purposes by adding the total price of all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

Any inconsistencies in this solicitation or contract shall be resolved by giving precedence in the following order: (1) the schedule of supplies/services; (2) The Assignments, Disputes, Payments, Invoice, Other Compliances, Compliance with Laws Unique to Government Contracts, and Unauthorized Obligations paragraphs of this clause; (3) the clause at 52.212-5; (4) addenda to this solicitation or contract, including any license agreements for computer software; (5) solicitation provisions if this is a solicitation; (6) other paragraphs of this clause; (7) the Standard Form 1449; (8) other documents, exhibits, and attachments; and (9) the specification.

(t) System for Award Management (SAM). (1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the

N0018917QG040

of 44

SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in FAR subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the SAM database; (B) comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

(u) Unauthorized Obligations.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an ``I agree'' click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., ``click-wrap'' or ``browse-wrap'' agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

(v) Incorporation by reference. The Contractor's representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.
