(b) PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

General Information

To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award.

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 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.

By submitting a proposal, the Offeror is certifying it is able to meet or exceed the minimum productivity rates specified in Attachment 3 to this solicitation. The productivity rates for each commodity function are the minimum levels acceptable to meet mission schedules for S&RTS in United Arab Emirates.

1. Offerors are required to submit an electronic version of the proposal via email with the RFP number and

Offeror’s business name in the subject line, by the due date specified. All documents provided by email shall be Adobe PDF files except the pricing proposal which shall be in Microsoft Excel format with an .xlsx file extension.

In doing so, the offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the RFP, with attachments.

Addendum to 52.212-2. Statements that the offeror understands, can or will comply with the PWS;

statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof; flowcharts simply listing activities related to performance of the PWS; and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed’ or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., without a description of how services will be performed shall be considered unacceptable.

Government shall base its evaluation solely on the information presented in the technical proposal.

Responses to this subfactor shall be limited to no more than 28 pages.

C. Part II – Price Proposal

(1) Schedule of Rates. The offeror shall input unit pricing rates for all cells highlighted in yellow within

Atch 2, Schedule of Rates. If offeror intends to offer a service at no charge, zero (0) shall be inserted in the applicable cell. Failure to input a unit price in any highlighted cell shall be construed as the offeror’s intention to propose a price of zero (0). The Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet will then auto-populate total prices for (i) the base period, (ii) each option period and the six month extension and (iii) base period plus four one-year option periods and the six month extension of services to establish the Total

Evaluated Price (TEP).

(2) All unit pricing rates shall be submitted in US Dollars ($).

NOTE: Contract award and payment shall be made in US Dollars ($).

(3) All prices submitted shall be entered to the nearest cent.

Paragraph (c) entitled “Period of acceptance of offers” is tailored to read: The Government requires a minimum of

180 calendar days for acceptance of offers submitted in response to this solicitation.”

Paragraph (e) entitled “Multiple Offers” is tailored to read: “The government will not consider multiple offers presenting alternate terms and conditions for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.”

Paragraph (g) entitled “Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids).” Is tailored to read: “The

Government intends to evaluate individual offers and award a single contract without discussions with offerors.

Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the proposals. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.”

Paragraph (h) entitled “Multiple awards” is tailored to read: “The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers may not be submitted for quantities differing from those specified. The

Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.”

Anthony Laudano, Contacting Officer at anthony.j.laudano.civ@mail.mil;
