Response to Question

1) Do appendices count within the 200‐page limit for the technical proposal?

a. The page limit, including the appendices, shall be 250 pages. Offerors are encouraged to provide a complete description addressing all requirements and criteria as stated in the

RFP. The description must be cohesive and include sufficient information to allow evaluation by reviewers and NIH staff. However, Offerors are also encouraged to be economical when preparing a response and can reference duplicative information addressed in various sections of Technical Proposal when practicable and the Technical

Proposal and Business Proposal shall be separate and complete in itself so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently of, and concurrently with, evaluation of the other (as stated on page 90 of the RFP).

Section L.2.a.4. of the RFP is superseded as follows:

4. Separation of Technical and Business Proposals

The proposal must be prepared in two parts: a "Technical Proposal" and a "Business

Proposal." Each of the parts shall be separate and complete in itself so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently of, and concurrently with, evaluation of the other. The technical proposal must include direct cost and resources information, such as labor‐hours and categories and applicable rates, materials, subcontracts, travel, etc., and associated costs so that the offeror's understanding of the project may be evaluated

(See SECTION J, Attachment entitled, TECHNICAL PROPOSAL COST SUMMARY.)

However, the technical proposal should not include pricing data relating to individual salary information, indirect cost rates or amounts, fee amounts (if any), and total costs.

The technical proposal should disclose your technical approach in as much detail as possible, including, but not limited to, the requirements of the technical proposal instructions. The technical proposal is limited to 250 pages inclusive of appendices, but not including cover page and table of contents.

Attachment 1 ‐ Packaging and Delivery of Proposals for Use with the NIH electronic

Contract Proposal Submission (eCPS) Website, Part II. B. 1. Is superseded as follows:

1. The total page count of the Technical proposal shall not exceed 250 pages, inclusive of appendices.
