This tool is also used by agencies external to DLIFLC.
DLIFC basic courses comprise three (3) to four (4) core hours of instruction per instructional day, supported by one to two (1-2) hours homework per day. These core hours have supporting audio and video materials, iPad and Smartboard activities. In addition there are test batteries composed of three to four (3-4) skill tests each administered every two to four (2-4) weeks of the basic course programs.

The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA/OAR/ARL/ATDD, has a requirement for two (2) methanol fuel cell generators equivalent to EFOY Pro 2400 DUO manufactured by SFC of Germany (as specified below) and two computer interface kits.
Our requirements for a methanol fuel cell generator include the following:
•	Operation in temperatures as low as -55°C.- Alaska's front range can experience temperatures as low as -60°C and as high as 30°C when packaged in a well-insulated in-house produced enclosure. Unit will maintain a minimum internal temperature to restart and remain reliable under extreme weather conditions.
•	Produces 12 VDC nominal and at least 800 Watts per day- The USCRN AK stations are powered by a 12 VDC. The system requires a minimum of 288 Watts per day in optimum conditions. Adding a general efficiency factor and allowing for power drops due to the cold temperatures, the power system needs to produce a minimum of 800 Watts per day.
•	Lightweight (less than 500 lbs total plus fuel) and easy to install- The USCRN AK stations are in remote locations requiring transportation via small aircraft and manual lifting. A small and light power system is essential. A system that breaks down into components that weigh less than 150 lbs is a requirement. Also, the system needs to be installed in a very short time. Time spent in the remote areas of Alaska is very expensive.
•	Uses minimal fuel to power due to remote nature of the sites environment.

USPSCs are considered employees of USAID for all purposes except programs administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) – such as federally sponsored health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits. However, there are several other similar benefits that USPSCs may participate in, such as partial reimbursement for health and life insurance costs, as well as full coverage of workers’ compensation, among other benefits. For more complete information on USPSC benefits, please see page 12 of this solicitation.

Please provide your proposal in two sections: Section I, Technical and Section II, Price, Section II Past Performance.
The technical evaluation sub-factors are below. An offeror's technical proposal must be acceptable in all factor areas in order to receive an overall "Acceptable" technical rating. A single "Unacceptable" rating for any of the technical sub-factors will result in an "Unacceptable" technical rating, and is considered unawardable. The order of importance of the technical sub-factors is considered equal.
Sub-factor A: SERVICES REQUESTED
The offeror's proposal clearly describes the processes, procedures and tools, that will be used to meet requirements of PWS Tasks 3.1, 3.2 including expanded descriptions in Attachment 1 PEX System Administration and Attachment UL/UC2 Ops System Administration.
The offeror's proposal clearly describe Turn-Around-Time IAW PWS 3.3.2 in a way that demonstrates the offeror understands the performance threshold defined in the Service Summary (PWS 5.0 Item 1)
The offeror's proposal clearly describes the processes and procedures, that will be used to ensure system administrators meet and maintain DoD 8570.01-M requirements, PWS 3.2.2 b and required skill to support windows server system administration including virtual machine environment, PWS 3.2.2d
The offeror's proposal clearly describes how Up-time (Operational Availability) will be tracked and managed for individual outages to ensure PWS thresholds are met (See PWS 3.3.2.3b for Up-time requirement, 5.3 - Service Summary Performance Thresholds, item 7).
Sub-factor B: Program Management
The offeror's proposal clearly describes the corporate and site specific management concept, organizational structure, and use of a Quality Control plan (PWS 4.2) to execute daily operations and maintenance services at supported sites.
The offeror's proposal clearly describes the approach required for management of travel requirement defined under PWS 8.4 and billing process stated under PWS 3.3.3.2
The offeror's proposal clearly describes the approach required for material purchases as stated in PWS 7.2 required to ensure repairs and up-time, 3.3.6, how materials will be invoiced as defined under 3.3.3.1, how materials will be reported/tracked as defined under 4.1.2.
The offeror's proposal clearly describes the approach to hire qualified core FTE workforce, PWS 3.1.2, 3.2.2 and 7.3, at required locations, PWS 8.1.1, to perform day one. Show understanding of qualification requirements and process to establish a FTE at required locations
The offeror's proposal clearly describes the approach to maintain performance thresholds (PWS 5.3 Services Summary Table) during periods of manning fluctuations (i.e. attrition, vacation or illness) for locations of performance (PWS 8.1.1).
***Sub-factor C: Transition Planning
The offeror's proposal clearly describes a phase-in transition plan that meets the requirements of PWS 10.1.
(b) Limit your Technical Section to no more than 15 pages.
(c). To provide for an easy evaluation, the Technical Section shall be specific, detailed and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that Offerors have a thorough understanding of the requirement. The proposal must clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Statements that Offerors understand, can, or will comply with the PWS (including referenced documents, etc.); statements paraphrasing the PWS or phrases such as "standard procedures will be employed" or "well know techniques will be used" or "work will continue as it has in the past" will be considered "Unacceptable" For the technical section to be considered acceptable, offerors' must clearly address each evaluation factor under the technical evaluation adequately. Any item not adequately addressed could be found unacceptable..
(d) Options. Clause 52.217-8 will be included in the final contract. This clause allows for continued performance of any services within the time limits and rates specified in the contract. Therefore each offeror must price a six month option period by a monthly amount. It is anticipated that 52.217-8 will be used to extend the contract anywhere from one to six months at the end of the initial 12-month period. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for the entire six month option to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of the option shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
Price Evaluation Factor:
The Price evaluation is expected to be based on adequate price competition. However, if necessary, the evaluation team reserves the right to use any proposal analysis technique in FAR Par 15.404-1 to ensure the contract is issued at a fair and reasonable price.
Please follow the outline CLIN structure contained within the attached pricing spreadsheet. This is provided as a guide to help develop your pricing proposal. The spreadsheet has built-in formulas to sub-total and summarize each offeror's price. As the contractor, simply enter the monthly price from your supporting price proposal into the "Line Item Price" column for each CLIN. It is the intended CLIN structure for the contract. The estimated annual cost of cost-reimbursement line items (Travel and Material/Software Purchase) is identified by the Government and will be applied to all offers received. An offeror may not change the ceiling price, and no handling fees or profit may be applied. All pricing must be on a Firm Fixed Price basis as a monthly amount.
NOTE: There is great expectation of competition for this requirement: thus offerors are cautioned to present their best price proposal up-front. The offeror's price proposal shall represent the offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. In instances where an offeror receives an acceptable technical rating, yet proposed prices appear exceptionally low, offerors may be requested to address this disparity, providing evidence of their capability and/or experience providing similar service(s) at similar price(s). An exceptionally or unrealistically low offer may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror's proposal.
As noted, the six month option price (Clause 52.217-8) will be added to the total and be evaluated as part of the Total Overall Evaluated Price (TOEP).
There is no page limit for the Price Section.
Past performance will be evaluated based on responsibility analysis in accordance with FAR 9.103. The standards contained within FAR 9.104-1, including having a record of satisfactory performance record and integrity and business ethics, serve as the guidelines for this determination. The offeror must be determined responsible to receive the contract.
Please provide up to three (3) samples of relevant past performance with Point of Contact/Telephone Number.
