Instructions To Offerors Attachment 0001 – Instructions to Offerors:

1. Offerors must complete and submit the Attachment 0001 – Price Matrix as part of the proposal package for Solicitation Number 36C79126R0011. Submission of a fully completed, accurate, and unaltered Price Matrix is a material condition of responsiveness for all CLINs/SLINs offered. The Price Matrix supports LPTA evaluation for CLINs/SLINs X001–X004, Best Value – Tradeoff evaluation for CLIN/SLIN X005 and X005AA, Tiered Set Aside evaluation, and the Government’s calculation of each Offeror’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

2. This procurement uses a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract structure. All unit prices proposed for every CLIN and SLIN will be fixed at award and remain fixed across all five (5) periods of performance. Unit pricing must reflect a realistic, sustainable FFP structure that remains viable throughout the full contract term.

3. The Price Matrix is responsive only when all material requirements are met, including:

3.a. Accurate, complete unit prices for every offered CLIN and SLIN across all five (5) periods of performance;

3.b. Completion of all ORANGE pricing entry cells;

3.c. No modified formulas or altered locked cells;

3.d. No blank unit price cells and no “N/A” or “$0.00” entries; and

3.e. Full consistency with the Offeror’s Technical Capability Statement, delivered product samples, and all proposal attachments.

3.f. Any deviation affecting price, quantity, quality, or delivery renders the proposal ineligible for evaluation.

4. Offerors shall manually type all Firm Fixed Prices directly into the ORANGE cells. Unit prices shall be expressed as U.S. Dollars and Cents (USD), rounded to no more than two (2) decimal places, and stated per unit of issue Each (EA). Copy and paste entries or formula derived values are prohibited and result in Price Matrix rejection.

5. Offerors proposing CLIN X001 must also propose SLINs X001AA, X001AB, X001AC, and X001AD. Partial SLIN pricing is not permitted. Under LPTA evaluation, CLIN X001 is evaluated as one combined TEP containing all required SLINs. Any missing SLIN pricing results in technical unacceptability for CLIN X001.

6. Offerors proposing CLIN X002 must also propose SLINs X002AA, X002AB, X002AC, and X002AD. CLIN X002 is also evaluated as one combined TEP with all required SLINs under LPTA procedures. Incomplete SLIN pricing for CLIN X002 results in technical unacceptability.

7. Offerors proposing CLIN X005 must also propose its required subordinate SLIN X005AA. CLIN X005 and SLIN X005AA constitute a single inseparable Best Value - Tradeoff evaluation package, and both must be priced across all five (5) periods of performance. Missing pricing for either CLIN X005 or SLIN X005AA renders the entire CLIN X005 package being rated as ineligible for evaluation.

8. Offerors proposing CLIN X001 must submit product samples for SLINs X001AA/AB/AC/AD, all product samples must clearly labeled by CLIN and SLIN, to allow verification of device-to-electrode compatibility. Offerors proposing CLIN X002 must submit product samples for SLINs X002AA/AB/AC/AD, all product samples must be clearly labeled by CLIN and SLIN, to allow verification of device-to-electrode compatibility. Offerors proposing CLIN X005 must submit product samples for both CLIN X005 and SLIN X005AA, all product samples must be clearly labeled by CLIN and SLIN, to allow verification of device-to-electrode compatibility. Pricing in the Price Matrix must correspond exactly to the product samples delivered to the DLS facility. Any mismatch between the Price Matrix and delivered product samples will result in the effected CLINs entire proposal package being rated as ineligible for evaluation or technical unacceptability based on the effected CLIN.

9. CLIN X005 under Best Value – Tradeoff will use the Price Matrix to calculate the Offeror’s Normalized Price Score and final adjectival rating. The Price Matrix ensures correct CLIN–SLIN relationships for CLIN X005 and supports the Tiered Set Aside Evaluation Approach.

10. The Government’s Estimated Ordering Quantities shown in LOCKED cells are provided solely to calculate the TEP for evaluation purposes. These quantities are not guarantees, minimums, or enforceable commitments. Offerors must not unlock, overwrite, alter, or tamper with any Government protected cells. Any altered formulas or modified locked cells result in a non responsive Price Matrix.

11. Attachment 0001 must be submitted only as a functional Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet (Excel 2016 or later). Any submission in PDF or any non Excel format is unusable for evaluation purposes and will result in the entire proposal package for the effected CLIN(s) being rated as ineligible for evaluation or technical unacceptability based on the effected CLIN. Offerors shall not lock, password protect, or restrict access to any portion of the spreadsheet; Price Matrices requiring Government unlocking will result in the entire proposal package for the effected CLIN(s) being rated as ineligible for evaluation or technical unacceptability based on the effected CLIN.

12. The Government calculates TEP by multiplying each proposed unit price by the Government’s Estimated Ordering Quantity for each of the five (5) periods of performance, then summing all CLINs/SLINs offered into a single TEP on a per-CLIN basis.

13. Attachment 0001 must be submitted as a separate Excel file labeled:

“Attachment 0001 – Price Matrix – [Offeror Name]”.

14. Clerical corrections of the Attachment 0001 - Price Matrix may be permitted only when they do not affect the unit pricing or Government formulas; any correction involving unit prices, formulas, or locked cells cannot be accepted and results in proposal rejection.
