1) Volume I – Technical Capability.

a) The Technical Capability Volume shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims in the Offeror’s offer/quote.

Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with the PWS (including referenced publications, technical data, etc.);

statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof (including applicable publications, technical data, etc.); and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., will be considered unacceptable. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's offer/quote.

b) The Technical Capability Volume shall, at a minimum, be prepared in a form consistent with the PWS and the evaluation criteria for award set forth in 52.212-2 addendum. The section shall be prepared in an orderly format and in sufficient detail to enable the Government to make a thorough evaluation of the contractor’s technical competence and ability to comply with the contract task requirements specified in the PWS.

2) Volume II – Price – The offeror shall complete Section B of the solicitation. For the Price Volume, the electronic version will take precedence for any differences noted between the hard copy and electronic versions of an offeror’s offer/quote.
