Non-Price Proposals will be 8 ½” x 11” paper except for fold outs used for charts, tables or diagrams which may not exceed 11” x 17”. A page is defined as one face of a sheet of paper containing information. Typing shall not be less than 12pt font, Garamond. Excluded from page count: cover page, dividers, Teaming Agreements, Contractor Proposed Cyber/IT-Related Solutions Form, and any required Representations and Certifications. The non-price proposal shall not include any costs related to the project. Pages exceeding the 20 page limit will be removed from the proposal and excluded from evaluation. Additionally, use of general or vague statements such as “standard procedures will be used” or “good business practices will be employed” which are not substantiated may result in a lower non-price rating.

The contractor shall be required to respond to its representation in accordance with FAR Provision 52.204-24(d) Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment (OCT 2020). The Full Text of this Provision is contained above under Clauses.

Price Proposal: Complete all lines on the Price Proposal Form and send directly via DoDSafe to Adam Birkland, Contract Specialist at adam.m.birkland@uscg.mil, Ms. Mathuei M. Kenneybrew, Contracting Officer, at mathuei.m.kenneybrew@uscg.mil, and FDCC-PROPOSALS@uscg.mil.

The completed price proposal form (attached) shall be submitted via DoDSafe. Price proposals must be prepared in accordance with these submission instructions, providing all required information in the format specified. Failure of a proposal to comply with the submission instructions contained in this task order announcement may be grounds for exclusion of the proposal from further consideration. Therefore, it is imperative that the contractor’s proposed price accurately reflect the total of the Base and Option Line Item(s).

Since adequate price competition is anticipated to determine price reasonableness by price comparison, contractors are not required to submit detailed cost or pricing data with their proposals. However, if after review of the price proposals, it is determined that there is not adequate price competition, other than cost and pricing data will be required. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to require submission of a detailed price breakdown or other additional information from one or more contractors, as required to both ensure that a fair opportunity has been offered to all contractors and to also ensure that the price is fair and reasonable.
