(1) Technical Approach - The offeror shall outline its technical approach. The offeror shall address each of the specific tasks as listed in the PWS. Detailed responses to each of these requirements will provide an explanation indicating offeror's ability and proposed methodology to be utilized to meet each of the required tasks. Responses are not to be a restatement of the requirement but shall be comprehensive, well-conceived, and include detailed approaches to accomplishing the tasks and providing the deliverables. The technical proposal should demonstrate that the offeror understands the overall scope of services and their interrelationships in order to optimize responsiveness, timeliness, efficiency, and reliability of analysis rendered. The proposal shall consist of narrative and supporting data that address requirements and procedures necessary to support performance of specific tasks in this solicitation.

c. Part III: Past Performance Factor – Past performance data shall be submitted in accordance with SOFARs Clause 5652.215-9008 Past Performance Data. The offeror shall provide information on contracts and/or subcontracts that are relevant and recent.

Relevant efforts are those task orders with performance of economic and finance domain data collection and analysis. The proposal shall include rationale on how the effort is relevant to the effort required by the PWS.

d. Part IV: Price Factor - The offeror shall identify all resources required to accomplish the work required by the PWS and shall coincide with information presented in the technical proposal. Price proposal shall include price for the base period and one option period.
