The Contracting Officer may require additional supporting information, but only to the extent necessary to determine whether an exception should be granted, and whether the price is fair and reasonable.

(i) Identification of the law or regulation establishing the price offered. If the price is controlled under law by periodic rulings, reviews, or similar actions of a governmental body, attach a copy of the controlling document, unless it was previously submitted to the contracting office.

(ii) Commercial item exception. For a commercial item exception, the Offeror shall submit, at a minimum, information on prices at which the same item or similar items have previously been sold in the commercial market that is adequate for evaluating the reasonableness of the price for this acquisition. Such information may include--

(A) For catalog items, a copy of or identification of the catalog and its date, or the appropriate pages for the offered items, or a statement that the catalog is on file in the buying office to which the proposal is being submitted. Provide a copy or describe current discount policies and price lists (published or unpublished), e.g., wholesale, original equipment manufacturer, or reseller.

Also explain the basis of each offered price and its relationship to the established catalog price, including how the proposed price relates to the price of recent sales in quantities similar to the proposed quantities;

(B) For market-priced items, the source and date or period of the market quotation or other basis for market price, the base amount, and applicable discounts. In addition, describe the nature of the market;

(C) For items included on an active Federal Supply Service Multiple Award Schedule contract, proof that an exception has been granted for the schedule item.

(2) The Offeror grants the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative the right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify any request for an exception under this provision, and the reasonableness of price. For items priced using catalog or market prices, or law or regulation , access does not extend to cost or profit information or other data relevant solely to the Offeror's determination of the prices to be offered in the catalog or marketplace.

(b) Requirements for cost or pricing data. If the Offeror is not granted an exception from the requirement to submit cost or pricing data, the following applies:

(1) The Offeror shall prepare and submit cost or pricing data and supporting attachments in accordance with Table 15-2 of FAR 15.408.

As soon as practicable after agreement on price, but before contract award (except for unpriced actions such as letter contracts), the Offeror shall submit a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, as prescribed by FAR 15.406-2.

Proposals received after this exact time will NOT be considered unless it meets one of the exceptions stated in Federal Acquisitions Regulation (FAR)52.215- 1(c)(3).

2. DTRA has 2 official mailing addresses in the NCR. Due to heightened security measures, hand-carried proposals cannot be accepted, therefore Offerors are to select one address below based on the method of mailing.

a. The official United States Postal Service (USPS) mailing address for DTRA:

b. DTRA cannot accept packages delivered via commercial express and ground carrier to any address other than the one listed below.

Note: This address shall also be used in all contracts for delivery of supplies/materials.

3. If mailing via USPS, Offerors are cautioned to allow 1-2 days for processing and delivery of all proposal information to the designated office after it has been received at the DTRA mailroom. This mail processing delay is unavoidable, so Offerors are encouraged to carefully select the mailing method to ensure timely receipt of proposals.

* Mail sent without an office symbol may be misdirected within DTRA. Please use the most current office symbol assigned. If an office symbol changes during the term of this contract, the contracting officer may advise of this change via letter in lieu of a contract modification.

L.1.3 PROPOSAL FORMAT

L.1.3.1 Guidance

This section of the Information to Offerors (ITO) provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The Offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested by the ITO and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Non-compliance with the instructions provided in the ITO may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

L.1.3.2 Sufficient Detail Proposals shall comply with the following guidelines:

Be complete and respond directly to the requirements of the solicitation.

Address the factors, subfactors, and their related elements as listed in Section M of the solicitation.

Be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated assertions. Extraneous, repetitious, or wordy submissions are not desired and could result in lower ratings.

Take care to proof read the proposal. Typographical, grammatical, and spelling errors reflect poorly on quality control abilities and could result in lower ratings.

Do not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements.

Assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the Offeror’s capabilities and experience, and will base its evaluation only on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal.

L.1.3.3 Validity Statement The parties mutually agree that the Offeror's complete proposal shall be valid for 180 days from the date of submission. The Offeror’s signature in Block 17, SECTION A of the SF 33 Solicitation constitutes its acceptance of the proposal validation for 180 days. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the Offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

L.1.3.4 Physical Appearance of Submissions

Elaborate brochures or documentation, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

Proposals will be submitted in paper and electronic copies.

Paper copies of the proposal must lie flat when open. Elaborate binding is not desired.

No models, mockups, or videotapes will be accepted.

L.1.3.5 Page Format Restrictions and Limitations

L.1.3.5.1 Page Size Pages shall be 8.5 x 11 inches, not including foldouts. Except for the lettering that is within a graphic, the font size shall be no less than 12 point. Lettering within tables, charts, graphs, and figures shall be no smaller than 10 point. Margins on all four edges of each sheet will be at least one-inch. Proprietary statements, security markings, and page numbers may be placed within the defined margin area. Pages shall be numbered sequentially by volume. In the event discussions are held, these page format restrictions shall also apply to responses to Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs).

L.1.3.5.2 Page Limitations Page limitations shall be treated as maximums. If exceeded, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the proposal. The excess pages will also be deleted from the electronic copy of the proposal. Printed material shall be on one side of the sheet only (single-sided). In the event discussions are held, page limitations may be placed on responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs). Page limits, if specified for EN responses, will be identified in the letters forwarding the ENs to the Offerors.

All information (except documentation numbers, classification markings, and page numbers) shall be contained within an image area of 9 x 15-1/2 inches.

L.1.3.8 Electronic Copies

(a) Three electronic copies of each volume shall be submitted on individual CD-ROMs in a protective sleeve or case. Each CD-ROM and protective sleeve or case shall be clearly marked as to volume number, title, RFP identification, and the Offeror’s name.

(c) prior to including such costs, with the results of this analysis, as part of the prime contractor’s proposal.

L.1.3.10 Minimum Cross-Referencing Each volume shall be written to the greatest extent possible on a stand-alone basis, so that its contents may be evaluated with a minimum of cross-referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for proposal evaluation that is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

L.2.12 PREAWARD ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCI)

a. The Government has determined that this contract may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The successful Offeror for this requirement will have unique access, beyond that which is typically afforded to commercial and academic entities to the CS and NS Directorates. The successful Offeror will be exposed to Government-sensitive and contractor-sensitive / proprietary data as well as to Government employees, equipment, installations and property. The awardee will have access to information that could potentially provide an unfair competitive advantage for future contracts. Moreover, the nature of the work required by this contract could place the awardee in situations where its ability to render impartial advice to the Government could be impaired due to other interests of the awardee. Offerors are advised to review FAR Subpart 9.5 for detailed information concerning organizational conflicts of interest.

b. Because of this unique access, the Government has determined that the A&AS contractor must function in this role as its trusted agent. With the trusted agent approach, the prime contractor is precluded from participating as a contractor, subcontractor or consultant on future non-A&AS contracts within the Operations Enterprise, CS and NS Directorates. Subcontractors providing A&AS support to a specific Directorate, (e.g. CS, NS), will be ineligible to compete for performer work in the same Directorate, but may be allowed to compete for performer work in Directorates where it provides no A&AS support, provided that it does not create an OCI.

This restriction will terminate one year after final payment on the contract. Restrictions upon use of Government information and the requirement to protect proprietary information are permanent. For the purpose of this requirement, each Offeror must include in Volume I of its proposal a submission that describes concisely all relevant facts concerning any past, present or planned interest relating to the work to be performed under the proposed contract and bearing on the Offeror’s potential organizational conflict of interest. If there are no such facts, the submission should affirmatively state such.

If awarded the A&AS contract resulting from this solicitation, the Prime awardee would not be able to provide performer work for any part of CS or NS. The Subcontractor(s) could potentially provide performer work in the CS or NS Directorates, assuming they are not providing any A&AS support to the CS or NS Directorates through the Prime.

c. Each Offeror also must include an OCI Verification and Prevention Plan in Volume I of its proposal covering both the Prime and Subcontractors/Teaming partners. This plan shall detail the Offerors analysis of their current contracts to ensure that an advantage is not gained by any relationship the Offeror may have with current performers of any of the CS and NS Directorate requirements as well as verify there are no current OCI issues which would inhibit/preclude their ability to bid/perform this CS/NS A&AS Support requirement. The OCI Verification and Prevention Plan shall also detail the Offeror’s proactive approach to preventing / ensuring their future performance of this CS/NS A&AS Support requirement will not be effected by OCI issues and shall detail how the Offeror’s intends to protect contractor proprietary and Government sensitive information. This plan shall be updated annually to ensure the continued monitoring of OCI and prevention of OCI occurrences during performance. The written OCI Verification and Prevention Plan shall be incorporated into the resultant contract. The plan shall cover the Basic ID/IQ contract and all Task Orders. The initial plan shall include the Base ID/IQ and Task Order 1 and shall be updated annually or upon placement of additional Task Orders, whichever is earlier. At a minimum, the Plan must address the following elements:

Definition of terms used Electronic Firewall Organizational and Financial separation Description of the process, procedures and techniques for identifying and mitigating

OCIs and flow-down and implementation of the Plan to subcontractors and team members

Identification of the lead person(s) responsible for OCI compliance within the company Prime Offeror’s plan for managing, monitoring and enforcing OCI requirements at the subcontractor level (including potential bids by subcontractors’ business units) OCI training/awareness for employees and subcontractors Nondisclosure agreements Contractor self-audits DTRA audit access to data, personnel, records, files and facility Personnel assignment, monitoring and transitions Remedies for accidental and intentional OCIs

In addition to the OCI Verification and Prevention Plan, Offerors shall submit the following information separately from the Plan:

(1) A detailed organizational chart that depicts the hierarchal structure of the Offeror’s (and subcontractors’) organization from the “top down,” which identifies the various business units and the interrelationships among the various business units. The chart should depict where the business unit(s) which will be responsible for A&AS support fit within the hierarchal structure.

(2) Identification of the business units (other than the unit(s) that will provide A&AS support) that provide products and/or services relevant to the CS and NS Support Directorates described in the Statement of Objectives and Task Order 1 Statement of Work, and a brief description of those activities for the Prime Offeror and its Subcontractors.

(3) A list of active Combat Support and Nuclear Support Directorate related contracts (and contracts completed within the last two years), performed either as a prime or a subcontractor. The list should include active and completed contracts for the prime Offeror and its proposed subcontractors. This includes contracts issued by another Government agency on behalf of DTRA, where DTRA provides funding plus primary oversight, technical direction and performance evaluation of the contracted effort. The list must identify the prime contract number, the name of the prime contractor (if the firm is/was a subcontractor), and the DTRA directorate/branch or other Government agency office responsible for program management of the contract.

d. The Contracting Officer may require further relevant information from an Offeror and may, at his/her discretion, permit an Offeror to clarify errors or omissions in relevant information or in submission(s) required by paragraph (c) above. Refusal to provide a statement or submission required by (c) above, refusal to provide further relevant information required by the Contracting Officer, or the willful misrepresentation of any relevant information will result in disqualification of an Offeror from further consideration for award of a contract under this solicitation.

Relevant information regarding possible organizational conflicts of interest will not be treated like an evaluation factor, however, it will be considered during the evaluation of proposals. The Contracting Officer will use all relevant information submitted by the Offeror, and any other relevant information known to DTRA, in assessing the potential conflict of interest in accordance with FAR 9.5. If the Contracting Officer determines that a potential conflict exists, the Offeror shall not receive an award unless the conflict can be avoided or otherwise resolved.
