INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

Section L - Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Offerors

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

L1 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. 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 as described at L6.2. The response shall consist of the volumes as identified in Table L2. It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of the proposal. Evaluation of a proposal will be conducted on the basis of the information contained within it and the Government will not assume that an offeror possesses any capabilities not specified; this does not, however, limit the Government from evaluating Past Performance data obtained from other sources in accordance with Section M4.

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 price 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 of the price.

L1.1 Program Structure and Objectives

This contract is a performance-based acquisition for nonpersonal services in support of the Joint Navigation Warfare

Center. As a performance based acquisition, this contract is designed to ensure that contractors are given freedom to determine how to meet the Government's performance objectives and that all app ropriate performance quality levels are achieved.

The IDIQ contract will include a five-year basic ordering period plus an optional 6-month extension for issuing new task orders. All orders shall be complete no later than 24 months beyond the end of the exercised ordering period.

Individual task orders may be awarded for a period of performance not to exceed 5 years plus a potential 6-month extension in accordance with FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. Task orders for severable services shall include option periods such that no individual CLIN has a period of performance exceeding one year.

The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims.

The offeror shall also utilize Section J, Attachment 18: Technical Cross Reference Matrix to cross -reference their proposal back to the requirements documents. The offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the offeror’s capabilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in its proposal; this does not, however, limit the Government from evaluating Past Performance data obtained from other sources in accordance with Section M3. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussions.

L2.2 Brochures, Documentation, Binding, and Artwork

A proposal may include data, such as technical designs or concepts, financial data, or management plans that the offeror does not want disclosed to the public for any reason, or used by the Government for any purpose other than proposal evaluation and contract award. If the offeror wishes to restrict the proposal, the offeror sha ll mark it in accordance with FAR 52.215-1. Any unmarked information may be releasable under the Freedom of Information

Act.
