52.212-1 ADDENDUM - OFFER 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 sub factors. 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 two (2) volumes:

1. Volume I - Price Proposal

2. Volume II - Technical Evaluation

B. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit information other than certified cost or pricing data to support a determination of price reasonableness.

C. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:

1. VOLUME I - PRICE - Submit one (1) electronic copy.

(a.) Complete blocks 12, 17a, 30a, 30b, and 30c for the RFP Section A of the SF1449. In doing so, the offeror assents to the contract terms and conditions as written in the SOLICITATION, with attachments. The SOLICITATION constitutes the model contract. Offerors shall ensure that all clauses and provisions that require “fill-in” information are appropriately completed.

(b.) Offerors shall input into the TEP Worksheet, located in Section J Attachment - TEP Worksheet. The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be the sum of the proposed prices for all CLINs including the six-month option. The TEP will be used for evaluation purposes only and does not constitute the total contract price, however, all prices that comprise the TEP are contractually binding and thus all prices must be populated.

(c.) Submit a copy of the completed TEP worksheet in the Price Volume (Volume I) in Microsoft Excel (non PDF format). All cells of the TEP worksheet must be filled in. An omitted CLIN price/cell may result in an incomplete price submission.

(d.) Cost or Pricing Information Requirements - IAW FAR 15.402, 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), “information other than cost or pricing data” may be required to support price reasonableness. If, after receipt of proposals, the CO determines that there is insufficient information available to determine the reasonableness of the proposed pricing the offeror shall be required to submit additional information other than certified cost or pricing data.

(e.) Rounding - All dollar amounts provided shall not extend beyond two decimal places.

(f.) The Data CLIN is to be left blank for all years. The Data CLINs are Not Separately Priced line items.

b. Sub-factor 2: Capability to acquire OEM parts:
