L-900 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS (INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS (ITO))

1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

0. Non Compliance with Instructions. Non-compliance with these instructions may render your proposal unacceptable. These instructions prescribe the format of proposals and presentation of proposal data. Carefully review this section prior to commencing preparation of the proposal. The instructions contained herein are intended to serve as guidelines for the preparation of the proposal and are not intended to be all-inclusive. All information you provide in the proposal must be UNCLASSIFIED. Specific instructions for each of the Volumes required by these instructions are contained in paragraphs 3.1 through 8.3 of this provision L-900. Proposals will be evaluated up to the page limits listed in the format instructions listed in paragraph 3.1 below. Material exceeding the page limits will not be evaluated, and the excess material will be returned to the offeror.

0. Clarity of Proposal. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail to permit effective evaluation and to substantiate the validity of stated claims. 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 that 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.

0. Unnecessary Elaboration and Formatting. Elaborate brochures or documentation, bindings, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

0. Proposal Acceptance Period. The proposal acceptance period is 180 days after the date set for receipt of proposals. The offeror shall make a clear statement in the signed offer (SF 33 Block 12) that the proposal is valid until this date has passed.

6.0 VOLUME III - RELEVANT PAST and PRESENT PERFORMANCE

6.1 Applicability. Each offeror shall submit present and past performance information with its proposal. This information is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform 40 per cent or more of the effort based on the total proposed price; or, that will perform aspects of the effort the offeror considers critical to overall successful performance.

6.2 Submission Requirements. Offerors shall provide a list of Government or commercial contracts, completed or in progress, of comparable complexity and relevance to this acquisition which have been performed in the last 3 years not to exceed five examples.

Offerors are instructed that all responses to the questionnaire are to be provided directly to the Government contracting officer. Responses routed through the offeror will not be accepted. To be of benefit, the customer past performance information must be received not later than the due date for proposals.

7.0 VOLUME IV - COST/PRICE

7.1 General Instructions. Offerors will complete Section B of the solicitation. Offerors may submit any other pricing data which they believe is prudent and necessary to justify their cost/price proposal.

7.1.1 Cost/Price Reasonableness and Realism. These instructions are to assist you in submitting information other than cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and realism of your proposed cost/price. Note that unrealistically low or high proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has made an unrealistic proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness and realism. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed costs/prices rests with the offeror.

7.1.2 Estimating Techniques and Methods. When responding to the Cost/Price Volume requirements in the solicitation, the offeror and associated subcontractors may use any generally accepted estimating technique, including contemporary estimating methods (such as Cost-to-Cost and Cost-to-Non-Cost Estimating Relationships (CERs), commercially available parametric cost models, in-house developed parametric cost models, etc.), to develop their estimates.

7.1.3 Non-Required Data. Data beyond that required by these instructions shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your cost/price position. All required information relating to the proposed costs/prices, including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Cost/Price volume.

7.1.4 Rounding. All dollar amounts provided shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. All loaded labor rates shall be rounded to the nearest cent (¢).

7.1.5 DCMA/DCAA Contact information. The cost and price volume should include a cover sheet that contains the name, address and telephone number of the cognizant Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) office that would have audit responsibility for your proposal.

7.2 Cost/Pricing Content

7.2.1 Basis of Price Evaluation. Offerors are required to propose audited rates for each labor category. Offerors will state their applied Overheads, G & A expense and proposed fee. The government will perform a technical analysis of the proposed labor mix and will determine the probable cost to the Government for the offeror's proposal. In the case of proposed teaming arrangements, critical subcontractor rates, hours, overheads, G&A, fees, and profits shall be provided.

In determining the most probable cost portion of the evaluated price, the government will extend the proposed hourly rates by an estimate of the best estimated quantity of hours for each labor category using the labor rates provided by the offeror, as best as the Government can determine. The most probable costs from each contract type, basic and subsequent periods, will be added in order to develop an overall probable cost for the entire contract period. Therefore, the cost and technical proposals must contain sufficient data to allow the government to assign each of the offered labor categories to the functional intended. The offeror's failure to provide sufficient data, or the offeror's providing of ambiguous data, for this assignment of the offered labor rates may result in the offeror's evaluated price being different from what the offeror intended.

7.2.2 Spreadsheet Submission. The Government must determine that the price is realistic and have a basis for future adjustments. Therefore, the Offeror must provide a spreadsheet that indicates how their loaded labor rates and the loaded labor rates of their subcontractor/teaming partner were developed. The spreadsheet must indicate the base labor rates, the burden/overhead rates and the G&A rate. Offerors are requested to provide their pricing spreadsheets in Excel format. A cost model has been provided to facilitate the evaluation of offers. The cost model was designed so that information from the base year is carried through to the subsequent years; however, the subsequent year rates can be overtyped if your rates change in the subsequent years. You can add or delete columns in order to accommodate the specific rates of your company. However, the first column must contain the base labor rates that build to the fully loaded labor rate in the final column. The second to last column must show the profit(fee)/hour amount.

7.2.3 Unrealistic Low Costs/Prices. The submission of unrealistically low price or cost estimates, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for the elimination of the proposal from the competition based upon the offeror’s failure to understand the requirement.

7.2.4 Requirement for Cost or Pricing Data. The Government anticipates award based on adequate competition. The contracting officer has determined that certified cost or pricing data is not required for this solicitation; however, information other than cost or pricing data is required to determine realism. Information submitted in support of the proposal will be considered information other than cost and pricing data, and may be used to establish a basis for future adjustments. Cost or Pricing data may be required in the event that adequate price competition is not obtained.
