States start/end and option structure correctly

Covered

Set-aside type

WOSB / EDWOSB indicated on SF1449 header

States WOSB in offeror info

Partially Covered (no explicit WOSB eligibility representation details beyond statement)

Time-based PM (not hour-based)

States maintenance is time-based; will execute quarterly service windows; aligns to standby equipment

Covered

Q scope — Pre-operation inspection items (oil, coolant, fuel, drain water, air cleaner indicator, compartment, tire pressure, fuses, battery voltage, belt, mounts, grounds, alarms, fire extinguisher, chargers, block heaters)

Lists essentially all items; includes chargers/block heaters/fire extinguisher and others

Commits to operate equipment, verify engine speed/cooling system/absence of alarms/faults; references OEM tasks

Covered

Unloaded runtime restriction note: <=5 minutes for first 20 hours; >5 minutes requires electrical load (30–89% load)

Commits to not exceed unloaded runtime restrictions; states load applied when required to operate beyond limitation

Partially Covered

Does not restate numeric thresholds (5 minutes, first 20 hours, 30–89%); adding exact thresholds improves demonstrable compliance.

A scope tasks (oil + filter, DEF, coolant weep hole, OVC system, fuel filters, cooling system check + pressure test, vibration damper)

Covered

Equipment specs: two specified serial numbers

Included and correct

Covered

Work hours: 0730–1600 M–F excluding Federal holidays; outside hours require TPOC approval

States will perform during shipyard’s normal hours/holiday schedule; coordinate if delayed opening/early dismissal; mentions coordination around waterfront constraints

Partially Covered

Does not explicitly state 0730–1600 and outside-hours approval requirement; advisable to add verbatim hours and approval statement.

If access delayed/unavailable due waterfront ops, reschedule mutually

States flexibility to reschedule; coordinate with TPOC when access delayed/unavailable

Covered

Following maintenance, perform operational checks to verify functionality

Commits to operational checks after each maintenance

Covered

Unloaded operational checks must not exceed maximum unloaded runtime limits for each EDG

Commits to comply with unloaded runtime restrictions

Partially Covered

Does not specify how limits will be tracked per EDG (e.g., timer/log) or reference ‘maximum unloaded runtime limits specified for each EDG’; add explicit method/logging.

If required testing duration cannot be completed within unloaded limits (even with cool down/restart), submit request to Code 900F.3 for loaded testing; subject to waterfront constraints

Commits to submit request to Code 900F.3 and coordinate scheduling around waterfront constraints

Covered

Ensure each contractor employee reads necessary safety documents within 30 days; notify Safety Office POC via email with name/work site/contract number

Has sections: Price Submission; Technical Capability; Acknowledgement of Amendments

Covered

Quote must be submitted in an Excel spreadsheet (price(s) etc.)

States pricing is provided in required Excel spreadsheet format with five tabs

Partially Covered

Narrative asserts spreadsheet exists, but proposal text does not explicitly attach/identify file name/version; eligibility risk if spreadsheet is missing or not compliant.

Quote must include: price(s)

Narrative says included in Excel; no actual prices in text

Partially Covered

Acceptable if spreadsheet provided; risk if evaluators rely on email package completeness.

Quote must include: name and phone number for point of contact

States ‘will provide required CMMC unique identifier(s) issued by SPRS’

Gap

No actual UID(s) listed. This is a material eligibility/completeness risk if required at submission.

R-01

CMMC UID(s) not provided in the proposal text/package

Eligibility/Compliance

Medium

High

DFARS 252.204-7025(d) requires UIDs be provided in the proposal; absence can render quote ineligible/nonresponsive.

R-02

Required quote data elements contain placeholders (Offeror Legal Name, UEI, CAGE, POC phone/email; payment terms bracketed)

Submission Completeness

High

High

Addendum requires these elements in the quote; placeholders can be treated as missing information.

R-03

‘Business size’ explicitly requested but not stated (only WOSB claim)

Submission Completeness

Medium

Medium

Addendum: quote must include business size; evaluators may flag incompleteness.

R-04

Unloaded runtime restriction numeric thresholds not explicitly stated; tracking method not described

Technical/Compliance

R-05

OSHA 300A reporting obligation (>1000 hrs/qtr) not acknowledged

Safety/Compliance

Low

Medium

C-223-W002(c) contractual requirement; failure could create compliance findings during performance.

R-06

PED policy mapping incomplete (no CNIA mention; no Code 1120 approval authority for audio)

Security/Compliance

Low

Medium

SOW Section 7 includes nuanced restrictions; incomplete commitment increases risk of on-site violation.

R-07

Hours of operation (0730–1600) and out-of-hours approval not stated verbatim

Operational

Low

Low-Medium

SOW 6.1; clarity avoids scheduling disputes.

R-08

Option price balance/unbalanced pricing not addressed

Evaluation Risk

Low

Low-Medium

52.212-2(b) allows rejection if significantly unbalanced; a short statement can mitigate concern.
