Procurement Process OverviewState of Ohio Job Ready Sites

• State of Ohio has indicated potential availability of $5 M under its Job Ready Sites (JRS) Program for Orion Qualification

• Funding would flow to local State Governmental Agency (e.g. Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority)

• It is each Offeror’s responsibility to commit in its proposal to enter into a contract or other arrangement with the local State Governmental Agency to take advantage of this funding

39

Procurement Process OverviewEvaluation Process

• Alternatives– Alt I

• CEV requirements only (18’ test article)

– Alt II

• CEV requirements and Concept Payload (LSAM) test article

(18’ and 23’ test article)

• Must meet all requirements

– Alt III

• CEV requirements and Concept Payload (LSAM) test article

(18’ and 23’ test article)

• May trade requirements with exception of 163 dB, price remains similar to Alt I

• Only One Alternative will be selected• See Section M for evaluation process• Firm-Fixed Price Contract will be Awarded

40

Procurement Process OverviewEvaluation

• Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with NASA FAR Supplement 1815.3, Source Selection Sections 1815.300 through 1815.308. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government. The following factors will be used to evaluate proposals:

• 1. Technical Capability• a. Technical Approach • b. Schedule• c. Project Control Plan

• 2. Past Performance and Experience• 3. Price

41

Procurement Process OverviewTechnical Capability Adjective Ratings

• EXCELLENT – A comprehensive and thorough proposal of exceptional merit with one or more significant strengths per project element. No deficiency or significant weakness exists.

• VERY GOOD – A proposal having no deficiency and demonstrates over-all competence. One or more significant strengths have been found and strengths outbalance any weaknesses that exist.

• GOOD – A proposal having no deficiency and which shows a reasonably sound response. There may be strengths or weaknesses or both. As a whole, weaknesses not off-set by strengths do not significantly detract from the Offeror’s response.

• FAIR – A proposal having no deficiency and which has one or more weaknesses or significant weaknesses. Weaknesses outbalance any strengths.

• POOR – A proposal that has one or more deficiencies or significant weaknesses that demonstrate a lack of overall competence or would require a major proposal revision to correct.

42

Procurement Process OverviewAward Without “Discussions”

• Only Allows limited “Clarifications” of Proposals• No “Competitive Range” Determination• No Ability to Revise/Improve Proposal – Offeror’s

Initial Proposal IS its “Best and Final” • Benefits

– Streamlines Procurement Process– Eliminates Risks Inherent in Discussions

• Disadvantages – Precludes Ability to Correct Weaknesses– Precludes Ability to Address Price Unrealism

• Government MAY Still Choose to Conduct Discussions

43

Procurement Process OverviewModel Contract

• Complete Signed Contract Required with Proposal• Consists of Sections A thru J of RFP• Section L – INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO

OFFERORS – This Section tells you what we want you to submit

• Section M - EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS – This Section tells you how we will evaluate it.

• Offeror shall complete and sign Cover Pages (SF1442 Form)– Offeror shall monitor NAIS

• All relevant and useful information will be posted as solicitation amendments

– All amendments SHALL be acknowledged

• Government will Countersign Model Contract upon Selection of Successful Offeror

• If Offeror has any questions or comments on Clauses or wording, the Offeror shall notify the Government immediately

44

Procurement Process OverviewCommunications

• General– Policy is to be as open as possible– Monitor individual procurement NAIS web sites

• Draft RFP Comments have been received and will be integrated in Final RFP as appropriate

• After Final RFP Posted– Blackout Period in Effect– Questions directly to Contracting Officer by April 13th – Shall be submitted in Writing

• Q&A’s will be posted on NAIS

45

Procurement Process OverviewProposal Advice

• Use the Final Solicitation to build your Proposal• Count the Pages Correctly (Technical Volume)

– Anything over the page limit will be removed from evaluation

• Don’t Put Technical Information in the Cost Volume• Use the Specified font• Test Electronic Disks before submitting• Provide Current and Accurate Phone Numbers and Addresses

for all References• Make Sure All Parts of the Proposal Tell a Consistent Story• Proofread, make sure if you reference “Volume X” that you

have a “Volume X”! – These things spell check won’t find.

• Recognize Today’s Security Environment at GRC and PBS Expect Delays at Gate

• Submit a professional product.
