SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

L-002. I. PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and requirements as defined in the specification. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The response shall consist of four (4) separate parts; Volume I - Price

Proposal, Volume II - Past Performance Proposal, Volume III - Past Performance References, and Volume IV –

First Task Order (0001) Proposal. You must submit original and two (2) paper copies. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government intends to make an award based on the initial offers received, without discussion of such offers.

In proposal volumes, follow the quantity and page limits as follows:

Section Copies Page Limits

Volume I – Price Proposal Original + (2) copies No page limit

Financial Responsibility Original + (2) copies No page limit (*)

Questionnaires (Appendix Cs)

Amendments (if any) Original + (2) copies No page limit

Completed Standard Form 30

Volume II – Past Performance Proposal Original + (2) copies 10 pages (**)

Volume III – Past Performance References Original + (2) copies 2 pages per reference (***)

(Appendix As)

Completed Past Performance Original + (2) copies No page limit (***)

Questionnaires (Appendix Bs)

Volume IV - First Task Order (0001) Proposal Original No page limit

NOTES:

* Provide Appendix C that has been completed by an authorized representative of the financial institution or multiple financial institutions to meet the responsibility of FAR 9.104-1(a) in regards to having, or the ability to obtain, adequate financial resources to cover the contract.

** If the offeror is utilizing significant subcontractors, a total of ten (10) additional pages are authorized for all subcontractors past performance information.

** * Limit to five (5) references. If the offeror is utilizing significant subcontractors or submitting an offer under a teaming arrangement or joint venture an additional five (5) references are authorized for the subcontractor’s, teaming arrangement, or joint venture’s past performance references.

Significant subcontractor is defined as: A subcontractor performing at least 50% of the work.

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. If Evaluation Notices (EN’s) 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 (CO) 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 pricing 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. In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), data other than cost or pricing data may be required to support price reasonableness and realism. Data shall be provided in accordance with FAR

15.403-5. If, after receipt of proposals, the CO determines that there is insufficient information available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the Offeror shall be required to submit certified cost or pricing data. Should adequate price competition not exist after receipt of proposals, the provisions of FAR Part 15.403-4 shall apply, and the Offeror will be asked to provide certification of cost or pricing data.

C. Specific Instructions:

1. Volume I – PRICE PROPOSAL – Submit Original Proposal and Two (2) Copies.

(a) Complete blocks 14 (to include CAGE Code), 15, 16, 17, 19 (if applicable), and 20A-C of the SF 1442, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. An authorized official of the firm must sign and date the SF 1442 in Block 20A-C.

In doing so, the offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the RFP Sections A through J.

These sections constitute the model contract.

(b) Insert proposed unit prices in Section B (maximum net amount) for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) that match the prices the offeror has filled in the Bid Schedule (Attachment 3). The extended amounts will be added together to determine the total evaluated price (TEP).

(c) Fill out IDIQ Demo Bid Schedule (Attachment 3) and return with proposal. The Bid Schedule prices will be evaluated for price reasonableness.

(d) Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in Sections I through K. Section K shall be returned in its entirety with your price proposal.

The offeror’s Representations and Certifications record on the System for Award Management (SAM) must be current, accurate and complete. For additional information, reference http://www.sam.gov.

(e) In accordance with block 13 of the SF 1442 a Bid Guarantee is required (See contract clause 52.228-1). The Bid

Guarantee must be 20% of the offered amount and must accompany the proposal submission. The contract bonds checklist (Attachment 4) will be used to ensure that an offeror’s bid guarantee complies. If not in compliance with the checklist an offeror shall be considered non-responsive to the solicitation.

(f) All Standard Form (SF) 30 Solicitation Amendments issued must be signed to acknowledge the SF 30 amendment and submitted with Proposal. Submit Original and Two (2) Copies.

(g) In accordance with FAR 9.104-1(a), the Contracting Officer must make a determination that a prospective contractor has adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them prior to award. The

In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems such as extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc. Provide comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer, or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions. If applicable, provide a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor.

3. Volume III –PAST PERFORMANCE REFERENCES – Submit Original Proposal and Two (2) Copies.

(a) Only references for same or similar type contracts are desired.

Appendix B forms, the Past Performance Proposal and other sources such as other Federal Government offices and commercial sources, to assess performance. Recent and relevant contracts include contracts that meet the recent and relevancy definition cited below. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the current acquisition; however, past performance regarding predecessor companies or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will NOT be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror.

RECENT AND RELEVANT INFORMATION For the purpose of this solicitation, Recent and Relevant Past

Performance is defined as:

1. RECENT – Ongoing contracts with a performance history, and contracts completed within three (3) years from the issue date of this solicitation (see Standard Form 1442, Block 3). Past performance that does not meet the definition of recent shall not be evaluated.
