Introductory Statement **ALL PROPOSAL PREPARATION COSTS WILL BE AT THE

SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OFFEROR. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT REIMBURSE

ANY FIRM FOR THEIR PROPOSAL PREPARATION COSTS.**

This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on format and content of the proposal. The Offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested herein and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions.

Nonconformance with the instructions provided herein may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation. Proposals shall be clear, concise and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of the stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Governments’ requirements but shall address how the vendor intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their abilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the vendor’s proposal. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications and technical requirements.

Anticipated Award. The Government intends to make a single contract award in response to this solicitation.

Minimum Guarantee: $2,500.00

Instructions to Offerors.

Per VA Acquisition Regulation 852.219-10(b)(1) incorporated by reference in this solicitation and the resulting contract, Offers are solicited only from eligible Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns. Only SDVOSBs listed as “verified” at VA’s Vendor Information pages (VIP), available at www.vip.vetbiz.va.gov, may submit offers in response to this solicitation. Offers received from concerns that are not VIP-listed SDVOSB concerns shall not be considered. Please note that Offeror’s proposing as a Joint Venture or Mentor-Protégé arrangement will not be considered to meet eligibility as a SDVOSB for this procurement unless that Joint Venture is listed as “verified” at VA’s VIP.

Per FAR 52.204-7, included in this solicitation by reference, an Offeror is required to be registered in SAM when submitting its offer, and shall continue to be registered until time of award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

Period of Acceptance of Offers. The Offeror agrees to hold prices in its offer firm for a period of one-hundred-eighty (180) calendar days from the date specified in the receipt of offers. The offeror shall date and sign the SF1449 in blocks 30 a, b and c agreeing to all terms and conditions of this solicitation and the resulting contract.

Past Performance. The past performance of the apparent successful offeror will be reviewed by the contracting officer prior to award as part of the contracting officer’s responsibility determination per FAR Part 9.

Instructions for Proposal Submission.

The proposal shall consist of two (2) separate volumes:

Volume One (1): Experience

Volume Two (2): Price

Volume One (1): Experience.

This factor will be used to assess the Offeror’s experience providing contracted in-home oxygen services and contracted in-home ventilator services to patients in their place of residence.

Offerors shall provide a narrative describing their specific experience providing contracted in-home oxygen services and contracted in-home ventilator services to patients in their place of residence. For each reference contract the Offeror submits as evidence of its experience providing in-home oxygen services or in-home ventilator services, or both, the Offeror’s narrative must clearly state the following information:

(1) the legal name of entity with whom the Offeror held the contract;

(2) the contract number;

(3) whether the contract was for in-home oxygen services, in-home ventilator services, or both;

(4) a description providing details of the specific tasks the Offeror performed under that contract;

(5) in what geographic location the Offeror performed these services;

(6) the dates during which the Offeror performed the contract;

(7) the number of patients to whom the Offeror provided in-home oxygen services or in-home ventilator services, or both, under that contract – break out and specify numbers separately for in-home oxygen services and in-home ventilator services;

(8) whether the provided reference contract is for services provided by the Offeror or provided by a proposed subcontractor of the Offeror’s;

(9) whether the Offeror or its proposed subcontractor was the prime contractor or a subcontractor for that provided reference contract;

(10) the name, phone number, and email address of a person at the entity with whom the Offeror (or Offeror’s proposed subcontractor) held the contract who can verify the information the Offeror provides in the narrative description for this factor.

NOTE: The information requested above is required for the Government to evaluate proposals for the Experience evaluation factor. General statements claiming experience providing contracted in-home oxygen services and contracted in-home ventilator services that do not include specific references to prior contract work or that do not include the information required above, are not acceptable.

FAILURE TO SUBMIT THE INFORMATION REQUIRED ABOVE TO SUPPORT THE

OFFEROR’S CLAIMED EXPERIENCE MAY BE VIEWED BY THE GOVERNMENT AS

EVIDENCE THAT THE OFFEROR LACKS EXPERIENCE IN PROVIDING CONTRACTED IN-

HOME OXYGEN SERVICES OR CONTRACTED IN-HOME VENTILATOR SERVICES OR

BOTH, WHEN EVALUATING PROPOSALS FOR THE EXPERIENCE EVALUATION FACTOR.
