Surge and Sustainment capability is a requirement in this solicitation. The S&S evaluation will be based on the Capability Assessment Plan (CAP), test/validation plan (if required), surge costs/prices, and S&S performance history (see (c) below). The offeror’s proposal may be deemed unacceptable for failure to submit the required S&S information in accordance with the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to require additional information if necessary. S&S will be evaluated as follows:
(a). Capability Assessment Plan Evaluation.
The offeror’s CAP will be reviewed and assessed for responsiveness, completeness, technical merit, and S&S performance history (see (d) below). The CAP must demonstrate the offeror’s ability to provide the full S&S quantity and delivery requirements as specified in the solicitation; the technical merits of the proposed solutions to any identified shortfalls in S&S quantity and delivery requirements; and the ability to achieve these without Government investment.
(b). Validation/Test Plan (if required) Evaluation.
The offeror’s Validation/Test Plan will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the plan accurately measures the stated capability in the offeror’s CAP. If the offeror requests Government investment to conduct the test, the CO will make a unilateral determination to whether Government investment will be provided and, if it is, which phase(s) of the S&S capability testing will be funded (e.g., test plan development, testing and/or test plan report).
(c). S&S Performance History Evaluation.
The quality and extent of the offeror’s historical surge support performance will be considered in the evaluation. In the absence of or in addition to historical S&S capability support, the CO may consider other relevant performance history where the offeror demonstrated the ability to quickly respond to and sustain higher than normal production rates or faster than normal delivery requirements, or both. This aspect of the offeror’s past performance will not be considered in the evaluation of the past performance evaluation factor in this solicitation.
