Offerors’ proposals that simply repeat the requirements or state “we will conform to the requirements as stated” are not acceptable and will be considered non-responsive.

1. General

The proposal shall be organized to clearly identify the contents within each volume and the files on each CD (e.g. Index).

• Two (2) copies of Volume II, Technical Proposal;

• Two (2) copies of Volume III, the Conflict of Interest and Compliance Program signed by an official authorized to bind your organization.
