SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM 52.212-1

1. OFFER ACCEPTANCE PERIOD AND ALTERNATE OFFERS

1.1 Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

1.2 Multiple and/or Alternate offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple quotes presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately. Offerors are encouraged to identify why the acceptance of an alternate quote would be advantageous to the Government.

2. SPECIAL NOTICE TO OFFERORS

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract after quotes are ranked in order of lowest price to highest price. The lowest-priced quote shall be evaluated first. If the lowest-priced quote is technically acceptable, no other offers will be evaluated.

Therefore, the offeror’s initial quote should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government will award without discussions as it is in the Government’s best interest.

2.1 Failure to submit any of the information requested by this solicitation may be cause for unfavorable consideration.

3. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and its amendments have resulted in an increasing number of requests from outside the Government for copies of contract qualifications and quotes submitted to federal agencies. If an offeror’s submissions contain information that he/she believes should be withheld from such requestors under FOIA on the grounds that they contain “trade secrets and commercial or financial information” [5 USC§552(b)(4)], the offeror should mark its submissions in the following manner:

The following notice should be placed on the title page: “Some parts of this document, as identified on individual pages, are considered by the submitter to be privileged or confidential trade secrets or commercial or financial information not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of

Information Act. Material considered privileged or confidential on such grounds is contained on page(s)

Each individual item considered privileged or confidential under FOIA should be marked with the following notice: “The data or information is considered confidential or privileged, and is not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.”

4. SOLICITATION RESPONSE REQUIREMENTS

4.1 GENERAL

The offeror shall submit documentation illustrating their approach for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Quotes must be clear, coherent, and prepared in sufficient detail for effective evaluation of the offeror’s quote against the evaluation criteria. Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond those sufficient to present a complete effective response to the solicitation are not desired.

The offerors shall describe their quotes, through the use of graphs, charts, diagrams and narrative, in sufficient detail for the Government to understand and evaluate the offer. In its evaluation, the

Government will consider the degree of substantiation of the offer in the quote volumes and in response to any discussions if held.

All correspondence in conjunction with this solicitation should be directed to the Government Contracting

If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of -- or in connection with -- the submission of this data, the

Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government’s right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction.

Information required for quote evaluation, which is not found in its designated volume or cross-referenced, is assumed omitted from the quote.

4.2.7 Electronic Submission of Quote.

(a) By submission of a quote on electronic media, the offeror must ensure that the submission is readable, in the format specified in the solicitation, and has been verified as free of computer viruses. Prior to any evaluation, the Government will check all files for viruses and ensure that all information is readable. In the event that any files are defective (unreadable), the Government may only evaluate the readable paper files. Further, if defective (unreadable) media renders a significant deficiency in the offeror's quote, the

Government may consider the quote incomplete and not consider such quotes for further evaluation.

(b) The offeror must ensure that:

(1) The electronic and paper copies of its quote submitted in response to the solicitation are identical;

(2) It has verified that the electronic quotes are free of computer viruses using standard commercial anti-virus software.

(c) A quote that fails to conform to the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) above may be subject to interception or delay at Governmental electronic communications portals. This interception or delay may result in the quote being lost, deleted, destroyed, or forwarded in such a manner that the quote arrives at the target destination past the time and date of the deadline for submission established in the solicitation.

In the event that a quote is lost, deleted, or destroyed due to the offeror's failure to conform to the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, such quote will be considered to have never been delivered to the Government. In the event that a quote is delayed due to the offeror's failure to conform to the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the quote will be treated as late in accordance with the provision of this solicitation entitled Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawals of Quotes, FAR

52.212-1(f).
