1. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of the proposal, the Offeror must follow the instructions contained herein. The Offeror is required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. The Offeror must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Non conformance with the instructions provided herein may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

2. The response shall consist of four (4) separate volumes: Volume I -Past Performance; Volume II - Task Order Approach; Volume III - Contract Documentation and Cost & Pricing and Volume IV - Small Business Commitment. Each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated without any cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

3. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the

Page 4 of8 contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness of the price.

4. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their corporation and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

5. Proposal Format.

a. Proposals shall be on 8 liz" x II" paper except for fold-outs used for charts, tables, or diagrams which may not exceed II" x 17".

b. A page is defined as one face of a sheet of paper containing information.

c. Typing shall not be less than 12 pitch except for figures and diagrams, where smaller is acceptable as long as it is readable.

e. Offers shall submit their proposal in four (4) three-ring loose-leaf binders (binders shall lie flat when open) containing volumes as identified in the table at paragraph 5.g. (below). Volumes shall be clearly identified and tabbed. A cover sheet shall be bound in each binder, clearly marking as to volume number, title, copy number, solicitation identification and the offeror's name. The same identifying data should be placed on the spine of each binder. Be sure to apply all appropriate markings including those prescribed in accordance with FAR 52.215-1 (e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data, and FAR 3.104-4, Disclosure, Protection, and Marking of Contractor Bid or Proposal Information and Source Selection Information.

Page limitations may be placed on responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs). The specified page limits for EN responses will be identified in the letters sent to the offerors.

B. Specific Instructions

1. Volume I - Past Performance

Each offeror may submit up to three (3) past performance examples for same or similar type contracts performed for Federal agencies or commercial customers within the last three (3) years. These contracts should be similar in size, scope and complexity to the PWS requirements and should demonstrate the offeror's ability to perform the work identified in the Performance Areas identified below. Each individual example provided does not need to reflect performance in all of the areas. Information must be current (within the last 3 years). Undated information or information over three years old will not be considered. In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problem.

a. Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor's consent. Provide with the proposal a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor. (Not included in page count limitation.)

b. Quality and Satisfaction Rating. Provide any information currently available (letters, metrics, customer surveys, independent surveys, etc.) which demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of services. Submitted information must be customer/user generated - not a document developed by the offeror. (No page limit.)

c. Performance Questionnaires. The Government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror's performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this RFP. The Government will use information submitted by the offeror and other sources, such as other Federal Government offices and commercial sources, to assess performance. The offeror shall send out the Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment I) to each of the offeror's Points of Contact (POCs). The responsibility to send out the Past Performance Questionnaires rests solely with the offeror; whereas, it shall not be delegated to any other entity. The Transmittal Letter shall be used by the offeror in sending out the Past Performance Surveys. Once these Past Performance Questionnaires are completed by your POCs, the information therein shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released to you, the offeror. Surveys shall be sent directly back to the Government. If more than one survey is received on any of the three contract examples, only the first one received will be accepted. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition.

(No page limit - One survey accepted per contract example).

d. Relevancy Statements. For each of the three relevant contracts for which you send a Past Performance Questionnaire, provide with your proposal a relevancy statement which provides a clear explanation of the relevancy of each contract. The Government will not be bound by those statements in making its own relevancy determinations. Each example shall include the following header information: Point of Contact (w/ name, duty title/organization, phone#, email), contract name, contract number, performance period, CAGE code, and DUNS number. (Page limit is two (2) pages per statement; no more than six (6) pages total.)

Performance Areas:

• Experience with software development that supports strategic and theater deployment and sustairunent of forces for multi-modal transportation feasibility models (includes the calculation of fuel requirements used by air and/or sea fleets).

• Experience with the development that supports forecasting of transportation requirements, course of- action analysis, crisis action planning and conducting "what-if' scenarios in support of end-to end distribution or mobility modeling. This also includes discrete event modeling (i.e., a specific event within an end-to-end or mobility process).

• Experience with development of transportation models that support the exercise of training objectives and simulation ofdata feeds to operational command and control systems.

e. Teaming Arrangements. If contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past/present performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past and present relevant contracts. (Page limit is two (2) pages.)

2. Volume II - Task Order Approach

Offerors shall submit a sound approach for accomplishing the requirements of the Task Order 0001 within the required period of performance (The optional task at 1.3.11.1 shall be included in the proposal). The plan shall adequately identify all major project activities in logical order and realistic milestone dates. Rationale for the proposed labor categories and hours mix of personnel shall be provided in a narrative. Additionally, offerors shall show their approach in a personnel matrix which identifies all labor categories to be used in performing Task Order 0001. The matrix shall correlate positions by labor category to the PWS paragraphs. The format for this matrix is as the offeror deems appropriate. The matrix is included in the page count.
