Reference A. provides critical information to conduct the required testing of the components which make up the NDSTC gas farm and associated volume tanks. 2. NAVFACENGCOM has mandated shear wave testing of all high pressure gas flasks both ASTM & MilSpec. The NDSTC gas farm is made up of 84 HP flasks the majority of which are 36 - 38 cubic feet and 18" - 21" in diameter with wall thicknesses varying between.85" to 1.3". Some of these are flasks are in a "nested" arrangement of 9 flasks. It is not possible to disassemble the gas farm to accomplish this testing and authorization has been given to utilize an ASTM approved procedure to accomplish the required testing. The guiding document for the testing is Navy Ships Tech Manual S9086-SY-STM-010/CH-551 R2, which specifies mandatory 60% shear-wave coverage and thickness gage testing of 100% in a 12" X 12" grid. Additionally, there are 16 lp/mp volume tanks which require the thickness gage testing only in 12 "x 12" grid. See enclosure (2).3. The contractor will staff this contract with a single Senior Technician and provide all of the equipment and consumables required to perform the services per reference (a). The contractor's Senior Technician will be augmented on a daily basis by one or two NDSTC NDT personnel who will assist the Technician in his/her duties while they learn the NDT process. The ultrasonic flaw detector used in testing must be either an Olympus EPOCH 4 or XT model as NDSTC has already purchased this model of detector and require training. A normal work day is based upon on a 10 hour work day for the contractor and an eight hour day for the NDSTC support personnel.

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers, in descending order of importance: 1.Technical capability2.Management Plan3.Past performance 4.PriceIn their proposals offerors shall include reference information as indicated in the Contractor Performance Data Sheet. Offerors shall provide information on 3 previous Government contracts whose effort was relevant to the effort required by this solicitation; the contracts provided shall have been performed within the last 3 years. The Government may evaluate an offeror's past performance on less than the maximum possible number of references. If the offeror has not had 3 Government contracts within the last 3 years, information on relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted instead (the information must be clear whether the work by the offeror was done as a prime contractor or a subcontractor). Offerors who describe similar contracts and subcontracts shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts to the requirements of the RFP. For each of the three contracts provided as a reference, the offeror shall provide all of the information specified.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) and DOD Past Performance Automated Information System (DODP AIS). 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. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the offeror. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror.Offerors with past performance data will be evaluated. However, those offerors with no past performance data will neither be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable. Therefore, offerors will receive a rating of acceptable for acceptable past performance as defined it Figure 1-1, unacceptable for poor past performance as defined it Figure 1-1, and a neutral rating for no relevant past performance.Figure 1-1: Past Performance RatingsAcceptable Past Performance: The offeror's performance of previously awarded relevant contract(s) met or exceeded contractual requirements. Performance over completed contracts was consistently of adequate or better quality or exhibited a trend of becoming so. The offeror's past performance record leads to an expectation of successful performance. Unacceptable Past Performance: The offeror's performance of previously awarded relevant contract(s) did not meet most contractual requirements and recovery did not occur with the period of performance. The assessed prior performance reflected serious problem(s) for which the offeror either failed to identify or implement corrective actions or for which corrective actions, implemented, or proposed to be implemented, were, or are expected to be, mostly ineffective. Performance over completed contracts was consistently of poor quality or exhibited a trend of becoming so. The offeror's past performance record leads to a strong expectation that successful performance will not be achieved or that it can occur only with greatly increased levels of Government management and oversight. Neutral: This rating shall only be used if the offeror has no relevant past performance information.Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Quoters must be registered in the CCR database to be considered for award. Registration is free and can be completed on-line at http://www.ccr.gov/.
