Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The response shall consist of three (3) separately bound parts, Volume I – Price Proposal, Volume II – Past Performance Information and Volume III – Past Performance References and accompanying completed Past Performance Questionnaires.

If the offeror is utilizing significant subcontractors, in addition to the five (5) references for the prime, the offeror may provide five (5) additional references for each significant subcontractor up to twenty-five (25) additional pages total to include both Appendix A and Appendix B. In addition, the offeror is responsible for providing the Government the completed Appendix B questionnaires provided back to the offeor by their references as part of the Past Performance as Volume III.

The paper files will be checked to determine the number of pages and compliance with proposal instructions. Those pages in excess of the limit will be removed from the back of the Volume II and III and returned by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) to ensure they are not evaluated. The Government will not keep any pages in excess of the limit. If Evaluation Notices (ENs) are required, page limits may be placed on any responses. Any page limits for responses to ENs will be identified in the letter forwarding the ENs to you. Excess pages submitted in response to EN’s will also be removed in the same manner by the PCO.

B. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.
