Please note the following changes have been made to the draft RFP previously posted: 1. Factor 1 (Technical Corporate Experience): Section L: Attachment J-4, Phase One Tab: The Offeror shall submit a completed copy of the Attachment J-4, Phase One Tab (Self-Assessment) detailing which elements of the PWS the Offeror (Prime Only) is capable of performing, based on corporate experience (performed as a prime or subcontractor) performed within the past eight (8) years from proposal due date. Section M: Attachment J-4, Phase One Tab: The Government will assess the optimal number of Offerors considering the proximity measures received during Phase One. Optimal will be judged based on proximity to a notional ideal Offeror who performs half of the 33 services (i.e. ideal breadth = 0.5) and performs all services at the highest possible level (ideal), or a selection of 3 for all scope elements for which they have experience (i.e. ideal depth = 1.0). 2. Factor 2 (Management Approach): Removed - Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) Plan 3. Factor 3 (Past Performance): Section M.4.3 - Recent past performance is hereby defined as a project for which its period of performance is ongoing or ended within the past eight years of the proposal due date. 4. Advisory Down-Selection Notification: As no more than 25 awards are contemplated, the Government anticipates issuing no more than 30 advisory recommendations to proceed. NOAA reserves the right to select fewer or more than advisory notices, depending on the specific distribution of the proximity measures. Offerors that identify limited capability in Phase One may still be advised to proceed to Phase Two and may still obtain an award. Niche vendors (those with strong capability in a PWS element or task area(s)) may be included to broaden vendor capability at the IDIQ level. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9/7/22 UPDATE: The ProTech 2.0 Fisheries Domain will be a total small business set-aside and the RFP is anticipated to be released in October 2022. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ProTech 2.0 Fisheries Domain Draft RFP was posted in April 2022 - https://sam.gov/opp/0142b660e1024409849935a943d5ae81/view.
