Attachment 12, Section L

1.3.4 If the Offeror submits a proposal for the total ABS effort, the Offeror is required to propose on all Schedule B CLINs, except X011, which is Not Separately Priced (NSP). Values to be included in proposal for CLINs X009 and X010 are the amounts stated in Section B of the solicitation. Failure to submit a proposal on all CLINs may disqualify the proposal. The CLIN prices shall be submitted in hard copy. If, during technical evaluations, the Government requests revised proposals, Offerors may be instructed to provide them electronically. For the CPIF CLINs (X001-X004), 60% of the negotiated fee amount will be applied to CLIN X013 (Award Fee), and 40% will remain on the CPIF CLINs as Incentive Fee.

1.3.5 For CPIF CLINS, Offerors shall submit a proposed Target Cost, Target Fee, Minimum and Maximum Fee, and Share Ratios above and below the Target Price (Target Cost plus Target Fee). Forty percent (40%) of the proposed Target Fee will remain on the CPIF CLINs and sixty percent (60%) will be moved to CLIN 0013 (Award Fee).

1.3.6. For CPAF CLINS, Offerors shall submit a proposed Cost and proposed Award Fee Pool. No Base Fee will be permitted. At the time of award, the total value of CLIN 0013 will be a combination of the proposed award fee dollars for each CPAF CLIN, and the CPIF dollars that have been converted to Award Fee.

1.4 The original of each Offeror’s Executive Summary, and technical, management, past performance and cost proposals, will be retained with the contract file. All extra copies will be destroyed after contract award.

1.5 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. Proposed innovations and efficiencies must be in sufficient detail to be incorporated into the contract. Apparent inconsistencies between promised performance and proposed prices shall be fully explained by the Offeror. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, raises a fundamental issue of the Offeror’s understanding of the program management and resources required and/or ability to perform the contract. This may be a basis for rejection of the proposal. Statements such as “we will comply with the requirements of the contract”, will not by themselves constitute acceptability to meet the requirements of this RFP. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in an Offeror’s proposal being summarily rejected.

1.6 Offerors shall submit in their Executive Summary a list of names and telephone numbers of persons authorized to conduct negotiations.

1.7 Offerors are advised that data submitted to the Government in response to this solicitation may be released to non-Government advisors for review and analysis. These advisors may be required to provide advice within their area of expertise regarding proposal strengths and weaknesses. Non-Government advisors will be subject to civil and criminal penalties associated with any release of information pursuant to FAR part 3.104 procurement integrity violations. They will not determine ratings or rankings of Offerors' proposals.

If the Offeror has any objection to non-Government advisor access to their proposal information, the Offeror shall provide grounds and justification for their objections. The non-Government advisors are:
