Amendment Posted 08-02-2022--Attached is the SF30. The purpose of this amendment A0003 to RFP 70B02C22R000000015 is to (1) clarify how CBP’s CLIN Structure under Section B shall be proposed and (2) update the Cost/Price Proposal Financial Capability submission requirement as follows: 1. Section B CLIN Structure is clarified for written proposal purposes as follows: CLIN 0001 through CLIN 4001: Fully Missionized MEA-LI CLIN 0001AA Fully Missionized MEA LI Prototype. This is the first aircraft to be delivered. Offerors shall price a fully missionized (airframe, LI sensor system, consoles, displays, cameras, and various communication systems) aircraft meeting all requirements in the SOW and corresponding Performance Specification. All other orders under CLIN X001 will follow after the prototype. CLIN 0002 through CLIN 4002 MEA-LI Non-Radar Equipped: Offerors shall price this CLIN the same as CLIN X001 above exclusive of any radars equipped with the aircraft. CLIN 0003 through CLIN 4003 Green Aircraft. Offerors shall price this CLIN for the aircraft only. CLIN 0004 through CLIN 4004 Mission System Integration: Offerors shall price the installation of the mission system. This CLIN purchase would only occur if the Government doesn’t receive full funding for a CLIN X001 Fully Missionized MEA-LI. An example would be whereas the CBP orders a Green Aircraft (CLIN X003) and Long Lead Items (X005) due to limited funds. When more funding is available, CBP may order the Mission Systems Integration (CLIN X004) to missionize the King Air. CLIN 0005 through CLIN 5005/CLIN 0006 through CLIN 5006: Long Lead Item Package. These CLINs are deemed necessary based on CBP’s assumption that potential long lead items could be the EO/IR camera or the Radar. These are examples only and not a complete list. Offerors are reminded that within 30 days after the Critical Design Review (CDR), the Contractor shall provide a Recommended Spare Parts List (RSPL) and recommended support equipment that will be required to operate and maintain each aircraft. (Reference SOW Para C.10) 2. Under Volume II-Cost/Price Proposal, revise Section 3-Financial Capability to read as follows: Section 3 - Financial Capability The offeror shall provide the following data for itself and for any subcontractors for which the total value of the subcontract is greater than $2,000,000.00 (inclusive of base and option years): Provide a copy of annual financial statements including certified balance sheet, profit/loss statement and statement of retained earnings covering each of the offeror's last three annual accounting periods, including the most recent partial period, if currently available.

This RFP is to procure up to nine (9) Multirole Enforcement Aircraft along with associated spares and services. This procurement action is being solicited as Other than Full and Open Competition through SAM.gov. The airframe (Textron Aviation, Inc. King Air B300 model) is a brand name requirement and is the only exclusion from full and open competition. All other requirements within this RFP are full and open. The Acquisition Title is “Multirole Enforcement Aircraft Land Interdiction (MEA LI)”. The principle nature of the requirements described in this solicitation is consistent with supplies provided by industries in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 336411 “Aircraft Manufacturing” with a small business size standard of 1,500 employees. CBP invites your company to participate in phase 1 (Oral Presentations) and provide written portions after the advisory notifications are provided for phase 2 (written submission) to submit a technical and separate full pricing proposal for the efforts described in this RFP including the terms and conditions, the Statement of Work and all other attachments. CBP will select for award the most responsible Offeror whose proposal contains the combination of those evaluation criteria offering the best value to the Government using the trade-off process. “Best value” is defined as the procurement process that results in the most advantageous acquisition decision for the Government and is performed through an integrated assessment and trade-off analysis among price and non-price factors. The basis for the award will be a detailed, integrated evaluation by the Government on the basis of how well the proposal achieves solicitation requirements and satisfies the evaluation criteria specified herein. Accordingly, the Government may award any resulting contract to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the offeror with the highest technical merit rating. In making this comparison, the Government is concerned with overall merit of the capability of the following evaluation factors: Factor 1 “Radar Solution and Integration Capabilities” is most important. Factor 2 “Technical and Management Capability” is less important than Factor 1. Oral Presentations (Factor 1) and Technical and Management Capability (Factor 2), when combined, are significantly more important than Price (Factor 3). Factor 3 “Price” is the least important factor. The importance of Factor 3 will increase if Offerors are considered essentially equal in terms of Factors 1 and 2 or if a price is so significantly high as to diminish the value of the proposal’s technical superiority to the Government. Within Factor 1, Elements 1 through 3 are considered to be of equal importance. Within Factor 2 Elements 1 through 4 are in descending order of importance. The elements are not subfactors and will not be individually rated but will be evaluated as a whole to arrive at the factor-level rating. Note: The elements for Factors 1 and 2 are provided in the RFP Provisions section. The Government may make award without discussions with Offeror (except communications conducted for the purposes of minor clarification); hence your offer should be submitted on the most favorable terms that the offering firm is able to submit to the Government. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if they are later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. RFP QUESTIONS DUE July 8, 2022 at 3:00 pm est: Questions or concerns regarding any aspect of this RFP must be forwarded to Michael Hall (Michael.A.Hall@cbp.dhs.gov) via email on or before 3:00PM local Washington, DC time on July 8, 2022 so that they can be addressed prior to submission of your proposal. Responses to questions will be provided via Amendment to RFP and posted to www.SAM.gov. Offerors are strongly encouraged to ask questions and convey their exceptions to the requirements during this time. The Government desires to alleviate concerns during the solicitation phase to prevent assumptions or exceptions within the proposals.

Offerors should prepare to present the week of July 25th at anytime.
