1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: These instructions are a guide for preparing your proposal. These instructions generally describe the type and extent of information you should provide and emphasize the significant topic areas you should address in your proposal. You are expected to review the Performance Work Statement (PWS) contained in this Request for Proposals (RFP) for further insight into the areas that your proposal must address. You should include in the proposal sufficient information to enable the evaluators to confirm your understanding of the Government’s requirement.

2. PROPOSAL FORMAT: Offerors shall submit their proposal in three separate volumes outlined in paragraph 2.1. below.

Volume I, Technical Capability, shall demonstrate your company’s ability to provide all supplies and perform all services satisfactorily in accordance with this solicitation. Volume II, the Price Proposal, shall consist of the CLIN pricing. This solicitation will be comprised of CLINs detailing what is required, either service or parts, in accordance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS). A separate CLIN shall be established for Defense Base Act Insurance. The Defense Base Act Insurance CLIN (0004, 1004, 2004, 3004, 4004, 5004) and the Part for Repairs CLIN (0003, 1003, 2003, 3003, 4003, 5003) will NOT be used as part of the price evaluation since these CLINS are reimbursable. All CLINs except the DBA CLIN and the Parts for Repair CLIN are mandatory and must be filled out to the solicitation’s specifications.
