The Government may make award of a conforming proposal without discussions, if deemed to be within the best interests of the

Government. In accordance with 15.306(c) (1) and FAR Clause 52.215-1(f) (4), Instructions to Offerors –

Competitive Acquisitions, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Firms that have associated specifically for performance of this contract, consortia of firms, or any other interested parties may submit proposals. A firm or construction contractor may offer more than one proposal by entering into more than one association. Associations may be joint ventures or include key team subcontractors. Any legally organized Offeror may submit a proposal. All executed teaming arrangements shall be submitted under

Volume 1, Tab D.

2.2. Contractor Team Arrangements. Contractor Team Arrangements are considered an arrangement in which (1) two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor; or (2) a potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified Government contract or acquisition program. In accordance with FAR Subpart 9.6, the

Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor team arrangements; provided, the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in the offer. The Offeror shall identify the major or critical aspects of the requirement to be performed by those identified in the Contractor

Team Arrangement. The submission must contain a narrative that clearly explains the relevance to a particular factor of information concerning a company that is part of a Contractor Team Arrangement. The

Government will consider the adequacy of this explanation in deciding the relevance of the information to this procurement. Any narrative provided should be incorporated into the Offeror’s proposal at Volume 1, Tab E.

2.3. The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor teaming arrangements, provided the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in the offer. As further described in paragraph 2.4, below, the Government will only evaluate the information submitted by the legal entity with whom the Government would enter into a contract. This is the legal entity represented in Tab E, as registered in System for Award Management (SAM) and identified by its specifically assigned

CAGE Code.

2.4. The Government will only evaluate the information submitted by the legal entity with whom the Government would enter into a contract. This is the legal entity represented in Tab E, as registered in System for Award Management (SAM) and identified by its specifically assigned

CAGE Code. However, IAW CFR 125.8(e), the Government will also evaluate past experience and past performance submitted by the individual firms that make up a joint venture.

2.5. Notwithstanding the specific requirements of any other area of the RFP, information submitted about any company other than the Offeror, whether an affiliated company, subsidiary (including wholly owned subsidiaries), or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of this requirement, or other associated business, WILL NOT be evaluated for any factor unless the proposal contains a detailed narrative explaining why this submitted information is relevant to this acquisition. The Government will consider the adequacy of this explanation in deciding the relevance and weight, if any, of the information to this procurement. Where information about a subcontractor is properly submitted and given significant weight during the evaluation, the failure of the Offeror to actually perform with that subcontractor may be grounds for termination for default. Successor entities shall clearly demonstrate in their proposal the official legal means performed to transform the former Predecessor Company to its Successor, legal business entity.

Examples of substantive documentation may include but is not limited to Articles of Incorporation, Joint

Venture Agreements, Novation Agreements, and Merger Documentation. Any narrative provided should be incorporated into the Offeror’s proposal at Volume 1, Tab E.

“Successor” means an entity that has replaced a predecessor by acquiring the assets and carrying out the affairs of the predecessor under a new name (often through acquisition or merger).

Note: The term “successor” does not include new offices/divisions of the same company or a company that only changes its name.

2.6. Offerors shall submit their proposal in accordance with the Section 3. General Proposal Format, paragraph

3.4.

2.7. Offerors shall submit their proposal to the address shown in Block 7 of Standard Form 1442.

3.2. Table of Contents. Each volume of the proposal shall contain a detailed table of contents. If more than one

3.3. All information intended to be evaluated as part of the Past Performance Volume must be submitted as part of the Past Performance Volume. Do not cross-reference similar material in the Price Proposal, or vice versa. No dollar amounts from the Price Proposal are to be included in the Past Performance Volume.

Note that attachments exceeding 15 MB may not be accepted by the email server. No hard paper copies will be accepted or evaluated. Both the Price Proposal and the Technical Proposal must be received by the closing date and time set for receipt of proposals. In an effort to reduce paperwork and reduce cost, all proposals shall be submitted electronically. All submissions shall be in Adobe PDF format and shall be on 8 ½ x 11 size pages in no less than a 10 pitch or 10 font. Page limitations, where specified in the RFP, shall be considered a maximum.

3.5. Offerors SHALL submit an electronic version (PDF Format) of the original Volume I and Volume II, for both phases. Offerors SHALL submit only two files in PDF format (i.e. Volume I and Volume II), for each phase.

These two files should be named in a specific format: Solicitation Number, Offerors Company, and the volume (i.e. W912PM-20-R-0004_COMPANY NAME_VolumeI.pdf). Given the limited time and resources of the evaluation board, failure to provide proposal in the correct format may hinder the board's ability to evaluate the Offeror's proposal and may result in the Offeror’s proposal being determined ineligible for award.

3.6. Offerors shall submit bid bonds (Standard Form 24) in both electronic and hard copy format. Electronic copies of bid bonds shall be included in Volume 1: Offerors Certifications and Price under Tab G. Hard copies of bid bonds shall be submitted via USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL.

3.7. Submission Acceptance. The date and time of delivery will be established by the time of receipt by the email server (time stamped by the system), not by the date and time the offeror submits the proposal through their email account. Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous – in fact, it can take several minutes or more in some cases. Please make allowances for delays in transmittal. If an electronic submission is sent minutes before the deadline, but notification is not actually received in the recipients’ email inbox until after the deadline, the submission will be considered late. The Government will not be responsible for proposals delivered to any location or to anyone other than those designated to receive proposals on its behalf.

Offerors are responsible for ensuring that proposals are submitted so as to reach the designated recipient of proposals as identified herein. Offerors are responsible for allowing sufficient time for the proposal to be received in accordance with the instructions provided.

Proposals are due as specified on the solicitation document (as amended if applicable). The time & date of proposal receipt will be the upload completion/delivery time & date recorded by the email server. Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous. Offerors should time their upload effort with prudence by not waiting until the last few minutes—this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process. If an electronic submission is uploaded minutes before the deadline but the upload doesn’t complete until after the deadline, the submission will be considered late. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the upload confirmation for their records.

3.8. Number of Copies. Offerors shall submit one (1) copy of Volume I and one (1) copy of Volume II, for both phases.

3.9. The offeror is responsible for including sufficient details in its proposal to permit a complete and accurate evaluation. Accordingly, the offeror shall be clear and concise in its proposal. The Government will not make assumptions concerning the offeror’s intent.

3.10. Failure to submit all the data required by the RFP, and these instructions may be cause for determining a proposal incomplete and, therefore, not considered for award.

3.11. Exceptions: Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal. Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the offer may be determined “unacceptable” and thus ineligible for award. Should the offeror have any questions related to specific terms and conditions, these should be resolved prior to the submission of the offer.

3.12. PROPOSAL TABBING REQUIREMENTS. Proposals shall be organized and tabbed as follows:

NOTE: Pages that exceed the required page limitations will not be evaluated. Additional pages over the maximum allowed will be removed or not read and will not be evaluated by the Government. Tables of content, proposal cover letters, and tabs between proposal information do not count toward any page limitations in the proposal. The total number of Pages for Volume I shall not exceed 100 Pages and Volume

II shall not exceed 200 Pages. The offerors submission for Solicitation W912PM20R0004 shall not exceed

“Bond means a written instrument executed by a bidder or contractor (the “principal”), and a second party (the “surety” or “sureties”) (except as provided in 28.204), to assure fulfillment of the principal’s obligations to a third party (the “obligee” or “Government”), identified in the bond.

If the principal’s obligations are not met, the bond assures payment, to the extent stipulated, of any loss sustained by the obligee.”

The entity named on the bond must be able to acquire bonding capacity on its own merits, and not as the result of indemnification from a subcontractor or third party.
