L-3 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. 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. The offer shall consist of three separate volumes: Volume I – Technical Proposal, Volume II – Price Proposal/Contract Documentation, and Volume III - Past Performance Information. The offer acceptance period shall be 365 calendar days (to be stated in block 12 of SF 33 page).

B. The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will review this determination and if, in the CO's opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit additional information to the CO for determination of fair and reasonable pricing.

C. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Receipt of Proposals: All volumes, paper and electronic, shall be mailed to 700 Contracting Squadron/USAFE CONS Specialized Flight, Attn: TSBMC II Team, Unit 3115, APO AE 09021 (when mailing from the US) or delivered to 700 Contracting Squadron/USAFE CONS Specialized Flight, Attn: TSBMC II Team, Kapaun Air Station, Geb 2767, Room 315, 67661 Kaiserslautern, Germany (when mailing from outside the US). They must be received no later than 03:00 pm Central European Summer Time (CEST) on 14 June 2013.

2. Access to Base Facilities: 700 CONS/USAFE CONS Specialized Flight is located on an

U.S. Air Force installation and all access to the installation is controlled by the U.S. Air Force. An escort may be required, as access will not be granted solely based on the need to submit a proposal. If necessary, as pre-coordinated with the point of contact listed in paragraph 10, the Government will provide a representative to meet the offeror at the gate to the installation to accept the proposal submission. Furthermore, the U.S. Military is conducting random exercises which may require total closure of entrance gate and/or utilization of an alternate base entry. Any delay based on access will not be accepted as a reason for late receipt of the proposal by the Government.

3. The offeror shall prepare the proposal as set forth in the Proposal Organization Table 1 below. The titles and contents of the volumes shall be as defined in this table, all of which shall be within the required page limitation and with the number of copies as specified. Pages exceeding the page limitations set forth in this Section will be removed from the proposal and will not be read or evaluated.

Attachments 7 & 8 shall be submitted in a format readable by MS Excel 2007. Offerors are cautioned that the “Original” marked hard copy form of the offeror’s proposal shall take precedence if any inconsistencies or discrepancies exist between the offeror’s hard copy proposal and the documents submitted on electronic media.

Questionnaire (PPQ) and Subcontractor/Teaming Partner Consent Letters (see Section J, Attachments #9 and #11). The PPQ, which will be sent to the Government POC, does not count towards the volume III page limitation. The page limitation for all volumes is inclusive of all material except: the front and back cover, title page, tabs, and table of contents. When both sides of a page display printing, it shall be counted as 2 pages. Any pages in excess of the maximum number specified will be removed from the proposal without being evaluated. No material may be incorporated by reference. Each volume shall contain a table of contents. Tab indexing shall be used to identify sections. One copy of each volume shall be marked “ORIGINAL.”

6. Volumes I and III shall contain pages size 8 ½ x 11 inches and text using no smaller than 11 font size (font size 6 may be used for graphics and organization charts).

Foldouts shall not be used for incorporating more text information per given page. Foldouts will be counted as one page. Larger page size and smaller font size are not applicable to tables. Pages shall be numbered sequentially by volume. The CO may place page limitations on responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs). If so, the specified page limit for EN responses will be identified in the letter forwarding the ENs to the offerors.

7. Each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis, so that its contents may be evaluated with no cross-referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for proposal evaluation that is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal. Cross-referencing within a proposal volume is permitted where its use will conserve space without impairing clarity and the logical flow of the subject matter is maintained.

8. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8., Government Contract Files, the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

9. The offeror shall apply all appropriate markings to the proposal including those prescribed in
