c. Page limitations are identified for each Volume/Section of the proposal in Table 1, below, and will be treated as maximums. If exceeded, excess pages will not be read or considered in evaluation of the proposal. Included in the page count are separate pages providing graphics, appendices, charts, illustrations, and pictures. Foldouts count as two pages. Limit use of foldout pages to non-textual matter. Only material required for a specific section shall be in that section.

1.

Pages only used specifically for title page, table of contents, list of tables and figures information, and glossaries of acronyms and abbreviations will not count against volume page limitations.

Please be advised that any exception, deviation, or request for waiver from the instructions provided in Section L, or any other section, of this solicitation may render an offeror’s proposal unacceptable and ineligible for award.

Applicable Page and Paragraph Numbers

4. If discussions become necessary, any portion of the proposal that is changed (as a result of negotiations or proposal revisions) shall be annotated and dated.

Charts, graphs, and other insert materials shall be page-numbered as part of the page numbering system. All lines of text shall be continuously numbered within each Volume. Consistent with the default application of continuous line numbers, certain elements of a document such as, for example, figures, pictures, multi-row tables, forms, etc., are generally assigned a single line number, regardless of the number of lines of text that may exist within that element. In consideration of these limitations, applying default continuous line numbering satisfies the line numbering requirement. The requirement for line numbers DOES NOT apply to Volume IV, Attachment 5, Pricing Workbook. In the event the offeror creates an ambiguity in their numbering of pages, the Government may exercise its own discretion in counting pages.

6.. Indexing. Each volume submitted by the Offeror shall contain the information included in Table 3, Additional indices (e.g., Table of Figures), where applicable, may be included by the Offeror for ease of reference.

8. Compliance. Attempts to circumvent the intent of these limitations (condensed printing, oversize paper, extensive or unnecessary use of large foldouts, utilizing the incorrect volume to submit additional information, or other similar actions) may result in removal of such material from the proposal and its exclusion from the evaluation.

9. Each page shall contain the following legend at the bottom of each sheet: Source Selection Information - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104.

10. Content Requirement. Offerors shall be limited to one proposal for this Solicitation. No alternate proposal(s) will be accepted. This solicitation does not commit the Government to, and the Government shall not pay for, cost(s) for preparation and submission of a proposal. In addition, the Contracting Officer is the only individual who can legally commit the Government to the expenditure of public funds in connection with this acquisition. Offerors shall carefully follow the instructions contained herein to assure timely and equitable evaluation, and to avoid exclusion from further consideration. It is an offeror's responsibility to submit a well-written proposal, with adequately detailed information which demonstrates its clear understanding of, and compliance with, the solicitation requirements.

11. Proposals shall be complete and clear in all respects without the need for additional explanation or information. Offerors shall ensure proposals provide a straightforward and concise delineation of corporate experience to perform the contract. Organization, clarity, accuracy of information, and relevance are of prime importance. The proposals shall provide sufficient detail and scope to permit the Government to evaluate the information in accordance with the evaluation factors.

12. In response to this solicitation, offerors shall confine the proposal to the Government to essential matters sufficient to define the offer, which will provide an adequate basis for evaluation. Likewise, offerors are cautioned against using general, vague, or unsubstantiated statements, that prevent or render difficulty to the Government’s evaluation. Statements such as, “will comply,” or “noted and understood” without supporting discussion to define compliance are not acceptable. Further, proposals that fail to provide the required information or approach to meeting the solicitation’s requirements, are not acceptable and may render the offeror unsuitable for award. The Government will not assume that an offeror possesses any capability, understanding, or commitment that is not specifically delineated and supported in its respective proposal. An offeror who was or is an incumbent or a subcontractor for an incumbent for any of the previous contracts is still required to demonstrate in its proposal that the offeror meets the requirements stated in this solicitation. An offeror shall not, based upon the offeror’s incumbency, presume the Government’s knowledge regarding its performance, corporate experience, skills, or any other aspect which is not specifically provided in the offeror’s proposal.

All information shall be confined to the appropriate volume. As identified in Table 3, refer to the applicable requirements for the Table of Contents, Summary Section, and the Narrative discussion. The Summary Section shall contain a brief abstract of the volume. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.

13. Any assumptions stated by the offeror has to be clearly stated and will not be accepted by the Government unless the Government accepts at the time of submission or before award of the contract. Any silence by the Government means the assumption has been rejected unless accepted in negotiation or accepted by the Government before award.

14. Any offeror is allowed to provide discounted prices provided it is clear that an accurate and real discount is being offered. Any inaccurate or misleading discount may be grounds for the proposal to be deemed non-compliant and ineligible.
