(4) Additional documents shall be included:

Volume II, Technical Proposal. The technical proposal should convincingly describe the capability of the Offeror's organization to participate in this project and effectively demonstrate a thorough understanding of the work statement contained in Part I, Section C of this solicitation.

The proposal should be practical and straightforward, concise delineation of what it is the Offeror will do to satisfy the requirements of the PWS. To enable the evaluation of the technical proposal strictly on the merit of the material submitted, no contractual price information is to be included in any volume, other than Volume III.

As a minimum, the Technical Proposal must specifically respond to the evaluation factors. The BLM intends to incorporate the Technical Capabilities and Approach and Key Personnel of successful Offeror(s) proposal into resulting IDIQ contracts.
