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

Offerors are encouraged to identify why the acceptance of an alternate proposal would be advantageous to the

2. SPECIAL NOTICE TO OFFERORS

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them 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 most highly rated proposals. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a technical standpoint.

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

2.2 Upon receipt, all proposals become Government property.

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 proposals 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 shall mark its submissions in the following manner:

The following notice shall 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 shall 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

Items that will be considered are: offer of equipment (amount and quality offered); photographic services that will enhance the publication or its production; quality and amount of services offered.

C. Management Approach: Overall management of the Publication Production Milestones while maintaining communication with the Government. Management elements that will be reviewed are the demonstrated ability to interface with the Public Affairs Office staff; to control the quality and timeliness of the finished product; to sale ads of the type that enhance the publication’s image in the community and with the readership at large; to ensure the contractor’s personnel are properly supervised aboard the base and understand the rules, regulation, and policies of the Tri-Commands, and to manage civilian enterprise publications.

The Offeror shall request their customers complete the Past Performance Questionnaires and return it by the due date for proposals directly to the email points listed in 4.1.

If the Offer does not have relevant past performance experience within the last five years, then the Offeror must make an affirmative statement to this effect. If the offeror affirmatively states it has no references, such offerors shall be assigned a past performance rating of "Neutral-Unknown Confidence.”

The offeror has both the duty and discretion to determine which of its prior contracts are most relevant to the currently described requirements. However, the offeror should consider that the Government shall give special attention to past performance relating to the United States military services. Commercial contracts will be considered.
