(iv) In a criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding, a disposition of the matter by consent or compromise with an acknowledgment of fault by the Contractor if the proceeding could have led to any of the outcomes specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i), (c)(1)(ii), or (c)(1)(iii) of this provision.

(2) If the offeror has been involved in the last five years in any of the occurrences listed in (c)(1) of this provision, whether the offeror has provided the requested information with regard to each occurrence.

Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show—

Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 180 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

http://www.acquisition.gov/FAR/current/html/FormsStandard68.html#wp1186059 http://www.acquisition.gov/FAR/current/html/FormsStandard68.html#wp1186059 http://www.acquisition.gov/FAR/current/html/52_212_213.html#wp1179194 http://www.acquisition.gov/FAR/current/html/52_212_213.html#wp1179194 http://www.acquisition.gov/FAR/current/html/FormsStandard68.html#wp1186059

(d) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST) for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is ―late‖ and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 12:00 p.m.

CST; one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government‘s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(i) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(e) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror‘s initial offer should contain the offeror‘s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(f) Multiple awards. Only one award will be made.

(1) Most unclassified Defense specifications and standards may be downloaded from the following ASSIST websites:

(i) ASSIST (http://assist.daps.dla.mil).

The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation ―DUNS‖ or ―DUNS+4‖ followed by the DUNS or DUNS+4 number that identifies the offeror‘s name and address. The DUNS+4 is the DUNS number plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned at the discretion of the offeror to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts

(see FAR Subpart 32.11) for the same concern. If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one. An offeror within the United States may contact Dun and Bradstreet by calling

1-866-705-5711 or via the internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. An offeror located outside the United States must contact the local Dun and Bradstreet office for a DUNS number. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(h) Central Contractor Registration. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the

Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the

Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror. Offerors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423 or 269-961-5757.

1.2. Proposal Preparation.

Carefully review this entire Section L (Clause 52.212-1) 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. Specific instructions for each of the Volumes required by these instructions are contained in below paragraphs. Proposals will be evaluated up to the page limit listed in the format instructions.

Material exceeding the page limits will not be evaluated, and the excess material will be returned to the offeror.

1.3. 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. Offers will be evaluated using the factors and subfactors in Evaluation of

Offers, Evaluation Factors for Award. Non-compliance with the solicitation may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award. Offerors are advised proposals are presumed to represent the offeror‘s best efforts and most complete responses to this solicitation. Cursory responses or responses which merely reiterate the Performance Work Statement (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.

1.4. Discrepancies.

If an offeror believes the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the CO, in writing, with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the CO to consider as related to the omission or error. The offeror is reminded the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion. This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.
