SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

IT IS THE INTENT OF THE GOVERNMENT TO USE COMPETITIVE PROCEDURES AS SET FORTH IN

FAR 14.5 - TWO STEP SEALED BIDDING.

Two-step sealed bidding is a combination of competitive procedures designed to obtain the benefits of sealed bidding in acquisitons requiring technical proposals, particularly those for complex items. It is conducted in two steps:

1. Step One consists of the request for submission, evaluation, and (if necessary) discussion of a Technical Proposal. No pricing is involved. The objective is to determine the acceptability of the services offered. It is the proper step for clarification of questions relating to technical requirements.

a. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. Offerors should submit technical proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation or information.

b. Only one technical proposal may be submitted by each Offeror.

c. The Government may make a final determination regarding a proposal's acceptability solely on the basis of the proposal as submitted.

d. The Government may proceed with the second step without requesting further information from any Offeror;

however, the Government may request additional information from Offerors of proposals that it considers reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable, and may discuss proposals with their Offerors.

e. Evaluations shall be based on the criteria in the request for proposals. Proposals shall be categorized as --

i. Acceptable;

FA485520B00060001

ii. Reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable; or

iii. Unacceptable.

f. Any technical proposal which fails to conform to the essential requirements or specifications of, the request for technical proposals shall be considered nonresponsive and categorized as unacceptable.

g. A notice of unacceptability will be forwarded to the Offeror upon completion of the proposal evaluation and final determination of unacceptability.

h. The Contracting Officer may proceed directly with Step Two if there are sufficient acceptable proposals to ensure adequate price competition, and if further time, effort, and delay to make additional proposals acceptable and thereby increase competition would not be in the Government's interest. If this is not the case, the Contracting Officer may request bidders whose technical proposals may be made acceptable to submit additional clarifying or supplementing information. The Contracting Officer shall identify the nature of the deficiencies in the proposal or the nature of the additional information required. The Contracting Officer may also arrange discussions for this purpose.

i. In initiating requests for additional information, the Contracting Officer shall fix an appropriate time for bidders to conclude discussions, if any, submit all additional information, and incorporate such additional information as part of their technical proposals submitted. Such time may be extended at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. If the additional information incorporated as part of a proposal within the final time fixed by the Contracting Officer establishes that the technical proposal is acceptable, it shall be so categorized.

Otherwise, it shall be categorized as unacceptable.

j. When a technical proposal is found unacceptable (either initially or after clarification), the Contracting Officer shall promptly notify the Offeror of the basis of the determination and that a revision of the proposal will not be considered after conclusion of Step One. Upon written request, the Contracting Officer shall debrief unsuccessful Offerors.

k. Late technical proposals are governed by FAR 52.214-23 - Late Submissions, Modifications, Revisions and Withdrawals of Technical Proposals under Two-Step Sealed Bidding.

l. If it is necessary to discontinue two-step sealed bidding, each Offeror shall be notified in writing. When Step One results in no acceptable technical proposal or only one acceptable technical proposal, the acquisition may be continued by negotiation.

2. Step Two involves the submission of sealed priced bids by those who submitted acceptable technical proposals in Step One.

a. Only bids based upon technical proposals that are determined to be acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award; and

b. Each bid in the second step shall comply with the drawings and specifications and must be based on the bidder's own technical proposal.

c. Bids submitted in Step Two will be evaluated and the award made in accordance with FAR Subparts 14.3 - Submission of Bids and Subpart 14.4 -- Opening of Bids and Award of Contract.

3. TYPE OF CONTRACT AND NUMBER OF AWARDS

a. It is anticipated that one award will be made from this solicitation and that the award will be made on or about

28 September 2020.

b. The award from this solicitation will be a Firm-Fixed-Price type contract with a Period of Performance (PoP) of 210 calendar days.

4. BASIS OF AWARD

After bid opening in Step Two, only one award will be made to the responsive, responsible bidder whose bid offers the lowest overall price to the Government.

5. ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT AWARD

Must be a Service Disable Veteran Owned Small Business concern.

In accordance with the requirements of FAR Part 9, no contract shall be entered into unless the Contracting Officer ensures that all requirements of law, executive orders, regulations, and all other applicable procedures, including clearances and approvals, have been met. This includes the FAR requirement that no award shall be made unless the Contracting Officer makes an affirmative determination of responsibility. To be determined responsible, a prospective prime contractor must meet the General Standards in FAR Part 9 and any special standards set forth in the solicitation.

6. PRE-PROPOSAL SITE VISIT
