SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Section L - Instructions, Conditions, & Notices to Offerors or Quoters

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

L.1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

L.1.1. To ensure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. This Section L of the Request for Proposal (RFP) 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 in Section L and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions.

Nonconformance with the instructions provided in this Section L and/or failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award.

L.1.2. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal must not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation solely on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

L.1.2.1. Proposals must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the nature and scope of work required.

The Government will not search for data to cure problems or address inconsistencies in proposals. Each offeror shall submit a complete proposal in accordance with these instructions. The Government may consider any failure to comply with these instructions to be indicative of what could be expected from an offeror during performance and may consider it a weakness of the proposal. Statements such as "will comply," "noted and understood," "in accordance with industry best practices/standards," etc. without supporting narrative are not acceptable. Cursory responses or responses that merely reiterate or paraphrase Specifications (Attachment 1) language will not be considered to satisfy the requirements of the RFP.

L.1.3. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

L.1.4. The Government requires a minimum acceptance period of 90 calendar days from the date of receipt of offers as stated in Section A, Block 13D of the contract/solicitation; however, offerors may specify an acceptance period exceeding the Government's minimum requirement. In that case, the offeror must affirmatively state an acceptance period in Section A, Block 17.

L.1.5. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Subpart 4.8, Government Contract Files, the Government will retain the original copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror request otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

L.1.6. Submit signed and dated offerors to the office specified in L.2.1. prior to the date and time specified in this RFP. Offers shall be submitted on the Standard Form 1442 (SF 1442).
