FAR (48 CFR) 53.243

1. Clause L.13 (d) 1. Overall Understanding of Requirements and Proposed Technical Approach, paragraph a) and c) are deleted and replaced as follows:

a) The Contractor shall provide a clear and succinct statement of the requirements for this contract in the Contractor’s own words to demonstrate his/her understanding of the current international blood safety standards and approaches including strategies that focus on:

· Availability of adequate supplies of blood and blood products and their accessibility to all patients requiring transfusion;

· Safety of blood and blood products; and

· Safe and appropriate clinical use of blood and blood products

c) The Contractor shall describe in detail his/her proposed methodology / technical approach to comply with each of the requirements specified in the Statement of Work, including phases of tasks, methods to be utilized, key personnel, and scheduling of time and resources as noted in the section on Management Approach and Experience of Key Personnel.

2. Clause L.13 (d) 3. Overall Management Approach and Experience of Key personnel:

A. Paragraph a) is deleted and replaced as follows:

a) The Contractor shall provide an Organizational Chart of the overall management of this contract, including a clear delineation of staff authorities and lines of responsibilities, with special emphasis on relationships with any subcontractors, other contractors, and CDC service organizations.

B. Paragraph b) is deleted.

3. Clause M.5 Evaluation of Business Proposals:

The section on Price is corrected to refer to RFTPs 1 and 2. There is no RFTP 3. Therefore the first sentence is deleted and replaced as follows;

Price

Price/Cost information will be evaluated based on Offeror’s responses to the Business Proposal Instructions in RFTPs 1, and 2 and Section L.8.

4. Clause M.9 is renumbered to M.6 Award of the Request for Task Order Proposals (Attachments J3 and J4).

Clarifications:

Each offer’s overall proposal contains various submissions. The submission required by clause L.9 Systems Security is not a part of the Business or Technical proposal.

For Clause L.13(b), Appendices are used for resumes and requested literature. Requested literature may be such things as clarifying or back up information. There is no specified page limit for appendices.

Each task order proposal may have its own appendix.

Wherever the solicitation clauses discuss labor hours, payroll costs, vendor quotes, etc., these will not apply to the base contract business or technical proposal, rather, requirements such as these apply to Requests For Task Order Proposals.
