Does the Government require any other narrative such as description of scope of relevance?

ANSWER: Contractors are advise to follow “ALL” instructions for submission of proposals cited under Provision 47 of the subject solicitation. As stated in the solicitation under 47(2(b)(iii), deviations resulting in a competitive advantage for an offeror will result in the proposal being returned to the offeror as noncompliant with the RFP requirements.

Question No. 8: Solicitation Package, Provision 47(2); Instructions state that the past performance volume is limited to 5 pages.

Question No. 10: Solicitation Package; Would the Government consider extending the due date for this proposal by two weeks considering that responses to questions submitted November 23, 2012 are unlikely to be available until very close to the due date?

ANSWER: At this time, the due date to submit proposal will remain unchanged, which is 03 December 2012 at 2:00 P.M., Pacific Local time.
