SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

SECTION L

1.0 Budget/Funding Information. The government budget includes de-escalation in future option periods.

The government budget assumes at least 1% progressive de-escalation in each fiscal year.

FISCAL YEAR FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 FY19 FY20 6 Month Extension TOTAL

BUDGET TOTALS $4.7M $14.9M $14.7M $14.6M $14.4M $10.7M $7.1M $81.1M

2.0 General Instructions. This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals, as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Throughout this section, the term “offeror” includes subcontractors, teammates, and/or joint venture partners. The offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested, and must be submitted in accordance with (IAW) these instructions. The offeror shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the solicitation and shall describe how the offer will satisfy the requirements stated in the performance work statement (PWS) and contract data requirements list (CDRL). A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support performance in a complete, orderly, and detailed manner will enable the government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Non-compliance with the instructions and solicitation may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and may be grounds for eliminating the proposal from consideration for contract award.

2.1 Proposal Clarity. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation of the offeror’s capabilities and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The offeror’s proposal shall not simply rephrase, reiterate, or restate the government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to describe the requirements and address how the offeror intends to meet the requirements. The offeror shall assume that the government has no prior knowledge of its capabilities, facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal.

2.2 Proposal Depth. The offeror is advised that its proposal is presumed to represent its best efforts and most complete responses to this solicitation. The offeror is advised not to provide simple cursory responses which merely reiterate the PWS. Alternate proposals will not be accepted. The offeror is reminded that the government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if the contracting officer (CO) later determines that it is necessary. By submission of a proposal, the offeror represents that its team is capable of performing all requirements specified in the solicitation.

2.3 Proposal Detail. Elaborate brochures, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and not desired.

2.4 Proposal Acceptance Period. The offeror shall specify the proposal acceptance period, in Section A block 12 of the solicitation, for a minimum of 300 days from proposal submission. The offeror shall make a clear statement of the date for which the proposal is valid in Section A of the proposal documentation volume.

2.5 Proposal Retention. IAW the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.8 (government contract files), the government will retain one copy of all proposals IAW the Federal Records Disposition Schedule, and unless otherwise requested will destroy all other copies at the end of the source selection process.

2.6 Size Standard. This acquisition is set aside for 8(a) Small Business under NAICS code 517410, Satellite Telecommunications; Size Standard: $32.5M.

2.7 Acquisition Strategy. This acquisition will utilize a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection strategy IAW the FAR 15.101-2, as supplemented by the Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) 215.3, the DOD Source Selection Procedures, the Air Force FAR Supplement (AFFARS) 5315.3, and Air Force Mandatory Procedure (MP) MP5315.3. Offers will be evaluated using the factors and subfactors under Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award. Technical proposals will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. If an offeror receives an “unacceptable” rating in any subfactor or scenario, the factor will receive an “unacceptable” rating. If an offeror receives an “unacceptable” rating in any factor, the technical proposal will receive an “unacceptable” rating and the offeror will not be eligible for award.

3.0 General Information.

3.1 Points of Contact (POCs). The POCs for this acquisition are the CO, Marco Carlos, and alternate POC, Brad York. Address any questions or concerns to the following contact information:

3.4 Revisions and Amendments. The government reserves the right to revise or amend the specifications or the solicitation. Such revisions or amendments will be communicated by formal amendment (Standard Form 30) to this solicitation. If such amendments require material changes in quantities or price, the solicitation closing date may be extended to enable an offeror to revise its proposal. In such cases, the amendment will include an announcement of the new solicitation closing date and time. The offeror shall provide acknowledgement in block 14 of the SF 33 of any solicitation amendments issued by the government.

3.5 Discrepancies and Ambiguities. If an offeror believes that the solicitation contains errors, omissions, or is otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the CO in writing with supporting rationale no later than seven (7) calendar days after the solicitation release.

3.6 Mistakes. Mistakes in contractor’s proposal shall be handled IAW FAR 15.508.

3.7 Final Proposal Revisions (FPR). Once discussions (if conducted) have been concluded with an offeror, the CO will request that the offeror provide an FPR. The offeror is advised that any changes to the proposal in the FPR must be fully addressed, explained, and reflected in the proposed price. Failure to comply with this requirement can adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal. The CO will establish a common due date and time for submission of the FPR. The number of copies required for the FPR are the same as the basic proposal as identified in Proposal Organization Table (Attachment L-1).

3.8 Proposal Preparation and Format Instructions. This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals, as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Each volume shall be complete in itself.

3.9 Organization/Number of Copies/Page Limits. The offeror’s proposal shall consist of three (3) proposal volumes: a Technical Proposal volume, a Price volume, and a Contract Documentation volume. The offeror shall prepare the proposal volumes as set forth in the Proposal Organization Table (Attachment L-1). The titles and contents of the volumes shall be as defined in this table, all of which shall be with the number of copies and within the required page limitations as specified in attachment L-1. The contents of each proposal volume are described in the paragraph as noted in the attachment L-1.

3.10 Binding and Labeling. Copy one (original) of each volume shall be printed double sided with two-hole punches at the top, center of each page. Dimension between hole-centers must be 2.75 inches. This is for government filing purposes. This copy should not need to be bound in a three-ring loose-leaf binder with holes punched on the edge. For other copies, each volume of the proposal shall be separately bound in a three-ring, loose-leaf binder which shall permit the volume to lie flat when open. Do not use staples. All binders shall allow for easy removal and replacement of pages. A cover sheet shall be bound in each book, clearly marked with the offeror’s name, volume number and title, solicitation number and title, and the copy number (e.g. copy 2 of 3); (e.g., Company A, Volume I Technical Proposal, solicitation FA2550-13-R-8001, WICS, copy 2 of 3). The same identifying data shall be placed on the spine and front of each binder. Be sure to apply all appropriate markings including those prescribed IAW FAR 52.215-1(e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data, and FAR 3.104-4, Disclosure, Protection, and Marking of Contractor Bid or Proposal Information and Source Selection Information.

3.11 Electronic Copies. The offeror shall submit a complete copy of the proposal, including all proposal volumes and attachments, in electronic format, using non-re-writable CD-ROM. The content and page size of electronic copies shall be identical to the hard copies. If there is a variance, the printed document will take precedence. Indicate on each CD-ROM the volume number and title. Use separate files and folders and ensure the file-naming convention is simple and straightforward to permit rapid location of all portions, to include subfactors, exhibits, annexes, and attachments, if any. Each volume shall be on a separate CD-ROM. All files must be uncompressed. Ensure the electronic documents stored on CD-ROMs can be opened by government personnel and that all information is accessible on government computers. Offerors shall ensure that the CD-ROMs submitted to the government are finalized such that no changes can be made to the information. The electronic copies of the proposal shall be submitted in a format readable by MS Office 2010® applications (e.g. Microsoft (MS) Word 2010®, MS Excel 2010®, and MS-Power Point 2010®) and/or Adobe Acrobat®). The proposal may be submitted in portable document format (PDF) format, but if used must be formatted to allow the text to be selected (i.e. not as an image). Electronic copies of price tables and spreadsheets shall be provided in MS Excel® to allow government evaluation and review of equations. In the technical proposal volume, simple list tables can be included in the volume file (i.e. as part of the MS Word® or Adobe Acrobat® file) and need not be separately included in MS Excel. Ensure formulas and clarifying notes used to calculate price are reflected in the spreadsheets. If files contain links, the links shall be maintained in all revisions. Electronic submissions for each file must be accessible on stand-alone computers.

3.12 Page Limitations. Page limitations shall be treated as maximums (reference attachment L-1). Total page count will be based on the printed proposal submission. For the technical volume, if page limitations are exceeded, excess pages will not be read, nor considered in the evaluation of the proposal. Page limitations may be placed on responses to evaluation notices (EN) if required. The specified page limits for EN responses will be identified in the letters forwarding the ENs to the offeror.

3.13 Page Size and Format. Page size will be 8.5 x 11 inches, not including foldouts, with 1- inch margins around the page perimeter. Pages will be single-spaced. Pages shall be printed as double-sided where possible (i.e., do not print on both sides if the next page would be a foldout, tab break, etc.). Each printed side of information on a page of paper shall count as one page (single-sided pages count as one page, double-sided count as two pages).

Foldout pages will be counted as a single page for each 8.5 x 11 section. The paper color of the original proposal submission shall be white only. Use Times New Roman, with a font no smaller than 11 point with normal proportional spacing. Text embedded in graphics can vary from the font style and size requirement.

3.14 Table of Contents, Indexing and Glossary. Each volume shall contain a detailed table of contents to delineate the tabs and subparagraphs within that volume. Tab indexing shall be used to separate and identify sections. A separate table of contents shall identify sections/tabs, figures, and tables. Each volume shall contain a glossary of all definitions as applicable, and abbreviations and acronyms used with an explanation for each. The table of contents, tabs, index, and glossary are excluded from volume page limitations.

3.15 Stand Alone Volumes. Each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated with a minimum of cross-referencing to other volumes of the proposal.

3.16 Change Pages after Initial Proposal Submission. If the government opens discussions and requests the offeror submit proposal revisions, during or after discussions, any changed pages that are submitted shall have changed information clearly marked by a vertical line in the right margin of the page identifying the changed content. The date of the revision and revision number shall be reflected on each changed page (preferably on, or next to, the vertical change line). Additionally, a different color paper shall be used for each round of revisions.

Make spreadsheet revisions obvious by highlighting cells that change.

3.17 Pricing Information. All pricing information shall be addressed only in the Price Proposal and Contract Documentation volumes.

3.18 Classified Information. Proposals shall not include any classified data in any Proposal volume.

3.19 Proposal Delivery. Paper and electronic copies shall be delivered directly to the CO or CS at 50 CONS/LGCZB, 210 Falcon Parkway, Suite 2116, Schriever AFB, CO 80912-2116. If using a courier, submit the name of the individual hand carrying these volumes 24 hours in advance to the CO or CS. The courier will be required to provide identification at the time of delivery. The delivered package(s) shall be labeled “To Be Opened by Addressee Only.” These volumes must be received no later than the date and time specified in the final solicitation FBO posting.

Due to Schriever Air Force Base’s mail security processes, the Contracting Officer cannot guarantee that mailed proposals will be processed and received by the proposal deadline. Therefore, the government strongly encourages the offeror to hand-carry the required documents and information. Please call the CO or CS at least two hours prior to your anticipated arrival time to ensure there will be personnel available to receive your proposal. Offerors should speak personally with the CO or CS, and not rely on voice mail. Contractor personnel delivering proposals are advised that they may be unable to access SAFB without a valid U.S. Uniformed Services Identification Card or DOD Force Common Access Card (CAC). Be advised also that vehicles may be subjected to random vehicle searches, and/or you may encounter unexpected delays at the gates and plan accordingly.

3.20 Safeguarding Information. Proprietary information submitted in response to this solicitation is restricted from unauthorized disclosure as required by Subsection 27 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act.
