1. Paragraphs 52.212-1(b), "Submission of offers," and 52.212-1(f), "Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers," are deleted in their entirety and replaced with 52.215-1(c), "Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals," by reference.
2. Paragraph 52.212-1(c), "Period for Acceptance of Offers," is tailored as follows: "The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 365 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers."
3. The following is inserted as a new paragraph (m) of the provision:
(m) Proposal Preparation Instructions.

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. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

(b) Representations and Certifications are typically completed annually electronically in the System for Award Management (SAM) accessed through https://www.sam.gov. All applicable solicitation provisions should be completed in accordance with the instructions in FAR 52.212-3 Alt I, Offeror Representations and Certifications

(c) Submit an acknowledgment of the all solicitation amendments, if issued.
PART II - PRICE PROPOSAL. Submit one (1) electric copy

(b) Insert proposed unit price(s) and total amount(s) in the Schedule of Supplies/Services for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), including all option periods. Pricing should be in Japanese Yen.
The total amount in the "Amount" column must equal the unit price multiplied by the "Quantity". It is imperative that mathematical calculations are correct; particular care should be taken to ensure the amounts match when using a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft EXCEL. The unit prices and values in the Amount column are limited to two decimal places.
(c) Submit the Pricing Exhibit (Attachment 5). This Exhibit provides a more detailed breakdown of the proposed pricing (for each annual period). Offerors are required to insert their proposed unit prices for each Exhibit Line Item (ELIN) for each annual period into the Exhibit. This will automatically calculate the total amount for each ELIN. The ELIN amounts corresponding to the ELIN X008 for Recoupment Material have been fixed by the Government and thus all offerors must propose the specified amounts. These fixed amounts have been inserted into Exhibit A and should not be changed in the offeror's proposal.
Offerors must ensure that their proposed amounts in the Pricing Exhibit match the proposed amounts in the Schedule of Supplies/Services.
(d) Extreme care should be exercised to ensure that no price data of any kind are included in any other Part of the proposal.
