The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

1.2. 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 facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

1.3. Validity Statement: The Offeror’s proposal shall be valid 180 days after the proposal due date.

1.4. The offeror shall make a clear statement in the proposal documentation that the proposal is valid until the applicable date as referenced above. Past Performance must be received in the designated USTRANSCOM office not later than the date proposals are due.

1.5. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

1.6. Proposal Submission: Offerors shall submit proposals, original and one copy via email or in writing, to the Contracting Officer identified in Section I, paragraph 1.0 above.
