(IPP)

(a) Point of Contact. The Contracting Officer is the sole point of contact for this acquisition. Address any questions or concerns to the Contracting Officer. Written requests for clarification may be sent to the Contracting Officer at:

AF ISR AGENCY/A7KRA

Attn: Luis F Chaves Email: luis.chaves@patrick.af.mil 1030 S. Highway A1A, MS 1000 Telephone: (321) 494-1667 Patrick AFB, FL 32925-3002 Fax: (321) 494-5403

(b) General Instructions.

(1) This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The proposal should include all of the information requested in the subparagraphs. Failure to do so may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support performance and costs claims in a complete, orderly, detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

(2) This solicitation is being conducted in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 215.3, and Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) 5315.3 including AFFARS Mandatory Procedures (MP) 5315.3. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation of the offeror’s capabilities to perform the requirements outlined in the PWS. 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 the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal. Offers will be evaluated using the factors and sub-factors under Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award. Non-compliance with the RFP may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

(3) Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, other embellishments are unnecessary and not desired.

(4) The proposal acceptance period is specified in Section A (SF 33) of the model contract/solicitation. The offeror shall make a clear statement on the SF 33 of the proposal contract documentation volume that the proposal is valid for a period of not less than 180 calendar days from receipt.

(5) In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8, “Government Contract Files”, the Government will retain one hard copy and one electronic copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

(6) Debriefings. The Contracting Officer will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range, whereupon they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505, as applicable. Offerors will receive no more than one debriefing.

(7) Discrepancies/Ambiguities. If an offeror believes the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale. Also, the offeror shall immediately give written notification to the Contracting Officer of ambiguities in the solicitation, including the PWS. The offeror is reminded the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

(8) Reference Documents. Information pertaining to this acquisition is available on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) web page at http://www.FedBizOpps.gov.

(9) Evaluation. Offers will be evaluated using the factors and sub-factors under Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award. Non-compliance with the RFP may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award. Offerors are advised their proposals are presumed to represent their best efforts and most complete responses to this solicitation. Cursory responses, or responses which merely reiterate the PWS, will be considered unacceptable. Demonstration of capability and qualifications that clearly support the offeror’s claims are essential. The absence of such evidence will adversely influence evaluation of the proposal.

(10) Cross Referencing. To the greatest extent possible, each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated with a minimum of cross-referencing to other volumes of the proposal.

Information required for proposal evaluation, which 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 would conserve space and/or improve clarity.

(11) Indexing. Each volume shall contain a more detailed table of contents to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume. Paper copies shall use tab indexing to identify sections.

(12) Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms. Each volume shall contain a glossary of all abbreviations and acronyms used, with an explanation for each. Glossaries do not count against the page limitations for their respective volumes.

(13) Page Size and Format. These instructions shall apply to both electronic and paper copy proposals.

(i) Page size shall be 8.5 x 11 inches, not including foldouts. Tracking, kerning, and leading values shall not be changed from the default values of the word processing or page layout software. Use at least one-inch margins on the top, bottom and side margins. Pages shall be numbered sequentially by volume. These page format restrictions shall also apply to responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs), if required.

(ii) Legible tables, charts, graphs, and figures shall be used wherever practical to depict organizations, systems and layout, implementation schedules, plans, etc. These displays shall be uncomplicated, legible and shall not exceed 11 x 17 inches in size. Foldout pages shall fold entirely within the volume. Foldout pages may only be used for large tables, charts, graphs, diagrams and schematics; not for pages of text.

(iii) Double-sided printing is acceptable, but will count as two pages. Each printed side of foldout pages shall count as two pages each. The background color of each page of the proposal submission shall be white or ivory paper only. These page format restrictions shall also apply to responses to ENs and FPRs.

(iv) Text type shall be Times New Roman or Arial. Except for the reproduced sections of the solicitation document, the text size shall be no smaller than 12 point. Text lines will be no less than single-spaced. For tables, charts, graphs and figures, the text shall be no smaller than 8 point. These limitations shall apply to both electronic and hard copy proposals.

(v) Page Limitations. All material must be contained within the page limit identified for each volume or appendix. The page limitations specified in L-6 shall be treated as maximum limits to assist in the evaluation of each proposal. Total page count will be based on the printed proposal submission. Each page shall be counted toward the above page limits except for cover pages, tables of contents, tabs, glossaries, list of key terms, appendices to technical volume, consent letters, and client authorization letters, and company financial statements. If exceeded, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the proposal and (for paper copies) will be returned to the offeror as soon as practical. Page limitations shall be placed on responses to ENs. The specified page limits for EN responses will be identified in the letters forwarding the ENs to the offerors.

(vi) Binding and Labeling. Each paper volume of the proposal should be separately bound in a D-ring loose-leaf binder, which shall permit the volume to lie flat when open. Staples shall not be used. All binders will allow for easy removal and replacement of pages. A cover sheet should be bound in each book, clearly marked as to volume number, title, copy number, solicitation identification and the offeror's name. The same identifying data should be placed on the spine of each binder. Elaborate format and binding are neither necessary nor desirable. Identify appropriate markings as required by FAR 52.215-1(e), “Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data”, in Section L, and FAR 3.104-4, “Disclosure, Protection, and Marking of Contractor Bid or Proposal Information and Source Selection Information” on both the paper copy and the CD.

(14) Electronic Proposal Copies.

(i) To enable the Government to successfully view the proposals electronically, the offeror shall submit their proposal in the Adobe Portable Document (PDF), Microsoft Word, or Microsoft Excel format. These file formats are expected to be exact duplicates of the paper copies. The Government will use the electronic copies in the evaluation process. The Government may use the electronic/CD proposal for all purposes; however, there is no requirement for the Government to compare or verify the consistency of the electronic proposal to the paper proposal. In the case of an identified dispute or variation in content, the paper/hardcopy submitted proposal shall be deemed and treated as the official version for all purposes.

Each CD-ROM case and the CD-ROM itself must be labeled as to the offeror and numbered sequentially in the required number of copies.

(ii) File Preparation. The offeror shall generate “bookmarks” within each PDF file for at least each section and subsection of the document. Bookmarks shall be generated based on indexed entities appearing in the document table of contents. The offeror has the option of generating “thumbnails” within the PDF files as well. The minimum requirement for hypertext links is an overall proposal table of contents linked to each volume and a table of contents within each PDF file linked to each section of the file. Additional hypertext links within the proposal are at the offeror’s discretion. The use of thumbnails or additional hypertext links will not influence the evaluation. The PDF file has a built in security function. The offeror shall set all security options in each PDF file to “allowed.” All text, including table and figure identifiers, shall be indexed and 100% searchable text. All text shall be displayed as a font and not displayed as a bitmap in any proposal volume or appendix to facilitate the ability to copy and paste to another document.

(iii) Font and Page Setup. Text font and layout shall be as stated for paper copies. Hypertext links shall be the same minimum font size. The preferred method of implementing hyperlinks is to indicate the hyperlink by blue font color and establishing the hyperlink in Acrobat with “invisible rectangle” with “no outline.”

However, the offeror may indicate hyperlinks by any color font or with a visible rectangle.

(iv) Other Requirements. The offeror shall not embed sound or video files into the proposal files.

Minimize the use of scanned images and keep embedded graphics as simple as possible.

(v) Proposal Format and Structure. Each volume of the electronic proposal shall be in its own sub-directory on the CD-ROM, sequentially labeled Volume 1 through Volume 4.

(vi) Proposal Table of Contents file (TBLCONT.PDF). This file serves as a table of contents for the proposal information. The offeror shall provide the capability to “jump” from this file using hypertext links to all other PDF files on the CD-ROM. Also include the list of key terms used in the proposal with their definitions, and a list of acronyms and abbreviations used in the proposal.

(vii) Cost Data File (COST.XLS or COST.PDF). This file can be prepared in Microsoft Excel or PDF format and must cross reference to Section B, Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs.)

(viii) Viewing Environment. The Government anticipates viewing the electronic submittals with the following computer software and hardware: 1) IBM-compatible systems, 128 MB of RAM, nominal 17 inch color monitors, and standard CD ROM readers, 2) Windows Vista operating system, 3) Adobe Reader 7.0, Microsoft Office 2007, and Internet Explorer 7.0.
