Proprietary information submitted in response to this solicitation will be protected from unauthorized disclosure as required by Subsection 27 of the Office of Procurement Policy Act as amended (41 U.S.C. 423) as implemented in the FAR. The proposal and corresponding program will be unclassified and treated as Source Selection Sensitive Information.

L.1.2 All proposals must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of the solicitation.

Any commitments made in the proposal shall become part of the resultant contract. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, raises a fundamental issue of the offeror’s understanding and/or ability to perform under a contract.

This may be a basis for rejection of the proposal. In no case shall words like “we will comply with the requirements of the contract,” or equivalent statements, be acceptable to meet the requirements of this RFP. Failure to comply with these instructions will result in an offeror’s proposal being excluded from further consideration for award.

Offerors shall submit with their proposals a list of names and telephone numbers of persons authorized to conduct negotiations.

L.1.3. Only one (1) proposal from each offeror (or offeror team) will be accepted.

Not to be used for evaluation purposes, but, in order to facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company/major subcontractors within the past three (3) years. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts identified for the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment.
