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.

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 the 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.
