A -- DEVELOPMENT OF INTREGRATED HIGH PAYOFF PROCET PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY (PINTLES) PART 2 SOL N68936-98-R-0139A DUE 061098 POC Glenda Downing, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-7503 (THIS IS PART 2 OF A 2 PART SYNOPSIS) Thus, the SOW must accurately describe the work to be performed and be void of inconsistencies. The proposed SOW must contain a summary description of the technical methodology as well as the task description, but not in so much detail as to make the contract inflexible. The SOW shall contain the following sections: Objective, Scope, Applicable Documents/Background, Task/Technical Requirements broken down by phase and/or Government fiscal year, and Management. If subcontracting is involved, level of effort, roles, key individuals and qualifications should be included. The cost proposal must contain a summary cost breakdown and a detailed cost element breakdown of each major task set forth in the SOW and should include information supporting the offeror's estimating process. The summary breakdown should be to the level of major tasks and should indicate manpower levels of effort, equipment and supplies travel, and miscellaneous expenses for the tasks of the entire program broken out by performer and time. Proposed funding projections should be provided by phase and/or Government fiscal year. A breakdown of cost data is required under this BAA. If "cost or pricing data" are required the offeror shall provide the cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-4 "Requiring Cost or Pricing Data," and the offeror shall provide the information identified in FAR 15.408, "Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses/Price Proposals When Cost or Pricing Data are Required." When Cost of Money is being proposed, the offeror shall submit a DD Form 1861. Prospective offerors are encouraged to submit their cost proposals on electronic media. Individual breakouts and all corresponding summaries, up to and including total program cost breakout, shall be submitted using Microsoft Excel. Each spreadsheet shall contain all formula or equations used to compute individual line items, as appropriate, as well as total cost (i.e. sell price). Spread sheets, for the basic program effort as well as any proposed options must also be submitted. Total dollar spreadsheeting without a breakout of the individual elements of expense and associated calculation formula is not acceptable. Submission of electronic cost data does not relieve the offeror from their responsibility for submission of an original signed hard copy of the cost proposal along with all supporting rational. Offerors must prepare a cross reference identifying the data on disk to that contained in the hard copy and include it as part of both the hard copy submission and the diskette. It must contain the following data: the disk name under which the file is stored: file name of the data file; hard copy reference (volume and page number): a brief description of the data e.g. labor rates, bill of material, etc.). Pursuant to the requirements of FAR 19.702 and 52.219-9, DFARS 226.7006 and DFARS 252.219-7000, if the total amount of the proposal exceed $500,000 and there are subcontracting possibilities, offerors are to prepare and submit a subcontracting plan for Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, and Woman Owned Small Business concerns or historical Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCUs/MIs) as part of their proposal submission. (Small business offerors do not have to submit the plan.) Offerors are cautioned that the Government will not execute a contract unless the Contracting Officer determines that the plan provides the maximum practicable opportunity for SBs, SDB, and WOSB concerns or HBCUs/MIs to participate in the performance of the contract. Offerors should note that DFARS 219.705-4 and 226.700 have provided for a goal of 5% for SDB concerns or HBCUs/MIs. Subcontracting plans which provide for less than the aforementioned goal must be accompanied by sufficient evidence that all reasonable attempts to meet the 5% goal have been made. Acceptable plans will be included in resultant contracts. PROPOSAL EVALUATION: Evaluation of the proposals will be based on the following criteria listed in descending order of importance: (1) Soundness of the offeror's technical approach with regards to feasibility of the project, probability of the technology being a viable candidate for selection/application into an operational system, and understanding the scope of the technical effort. (2) Relevance of the proposed effort to the achievement/demonstration of the goals of the IHPRPT program. (3) Innovation and creativity of the proposed solution to meeting the technical objectives as stated. (4) Capability of the offeror to successfully accomplish the proposed effort, which includes demonstrated relevant past/present performance, the availability of the necessary resources such as experienced and competent technical and management personnel, and the availability, from any source, of required laboratory, shop, and test facilities. (5) The reasonableness and realism of proposed costs and the availability of funds. All proposals submitted to NAVAIRWARCENWPNDIV shall be considered Government property. This announcement solicits the participation of all offerors capable of satisfying the Government's needs. The Government will not cover any costs associated with proposal preparation, nor pay, as a direct expense preparation cost on awarded contracts. This announcement constitutes the technical requirement in full text. No other solicitation or Request for Proposal will be issued. All proposals are due by 4:00 PM Pacific Time June 10, 1998. Early submission of proposals is strongly encouraged. Selections for awards will be made at any time during the evaluation process. Proposals will not be returned. All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs may submit proposals which will be evaluated if received by the closing date. Because of the technical breadth implied in this solicitation and hardware demonstration required, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation. However, these organizations are encouraged to apply and or team with other proposes.
