Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

1.0 General Instructions

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

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including, but not limited to: terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. 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 volumes and one (1) electronic copy of all volumes, separated, provided on a CD; Volume I - Pricing and Contract Documentation, Volume II - Technical Capability and Volume III - Past Performance Information. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in this RFP may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and/or an offer being ineligible for award.

a. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and validation of stated claims. The proposal should 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 experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

b. The proposal acceptance period is specified in the SF 1442, paragraph 13(d) of the solicitation. The offeror shall make a clear statement in the SF 1442, paragraph 17 of the proposal documentation volume if their acceptance period differs from the period listed in paragraph 13(d).

c. To be considered responsive to the solicitation, the proposal package shall consist of one (1) copy of the three

(3) separately bound volumes and one (1) electronic copy of all volumes, separated, provided on a CD; Volume I - Pricing and Contract Documentation, Volume II - Technical Capability, Volume III - Past Performance Information and an electronic copy (CD) of the documents. Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any revisions, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. Offerors shall use the transmission methods authorized by the solicitation (mailed/hand carried).

Any proposal, modification, or revision, that is received at the designated Government office after the exact time specified for receipt of proposals is "late" and will not be considered.

*Note: Electronic copy must be on a CD; no other form of electronic copy, i.e. USB, emailed, etc. will be accepted.

d. The offeror shall NOT use the Government's designer of record (DOR) firm for this sample project or any projects awarded under this MACC.

Failure of a prospective offeror to submit any questions will be construed to mean that the prospective offeror fully understands all requirements of the solicitation.

h. Questions shall be submitted to Lt Marco Pirozzoli at marco.pirozzoli.1@us.af.mil or Christopher Mitchell at christopher.mitchell.36@us.af.mil no later than five (5) business days after the site visit.
