SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS

L-1.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Government will evaluate each offeror's understanding of the Government's requirements and ability to perform the work on the basis of its proposal and in accordance with this RFP. It is the offeror's responsibility to provide information and evidence that clearly demonstrates its ability to satisfactorily respond to the solicitation requirements.

Only one offer will be accepted. There will be no oral proposals and no alternative proposals accepted. Each offeror shall submit only one proposal, which represents its best approach to meeting the requirements of the solicitation. The proposal shall be complete and clear in all respects without the need for additional explanation or information. The proposal shall be in sufficient detail and scope to permit the Government to evaluate it with respect to the evaluation factors specified in Section M of this solicitation.

Offerors are advised that the Government may incorporate enhancing features included in the offeror’s proposal into the final contract if the enhancing features are deemed beneficial to the Government.

Unnecessarily elaborate proposals beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired. Offerors shall confine their submission to essential matters, sufficient to define their offer, and provide an adequate basis for evaluation. Likewise, offerors are cautioned against general, vague, or unsubstantiated statements, which prevent or render difficult the Government’s evaluation of the proposal. Statements such as "will comply" or "noted and understood" without supporting narrative to define compliance are not acceptable. Unsubstantiated statements that the prospective offeror understands, can or will comply with the specifications, and paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof are considered inadequate and may render a rating of unacceptable.

Moreover, the Government will not assume that an offeror possesses any capability, understanding, and/or commitment that is not specifically delineated and supported in its respective proposal.

Offeror shall provide a single point of contact for the person responsible for this offer, to include name, title, address, telephone number and e-mail address.

Offeror must have at minimum a SECRET Facility Clearance (FCL) allowing access to and storage of SECRET information, and have the ability to maintain a COMSEC account and be a US Company in order to respond to this Solicitation. All classified material must be handled in accordance with the DD254, Classified Annex, the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) (DoD 5220-22-M), and Industrial Security Regulation (DoD 5220.22-R). All FCL information will be verified through the Defense Security Service for all offerors and their subcontractors. Offerors without a security FCL will neither be able to discuss nor access key aspects of the program that are classified nor will they be able to pass such information on to their subcontractor.

OFFERORS SHALL NOT INCLUDE CLASSIFIED MATERIAL IN ANY PROPOSAL SECTION

Offeror must provide the company’s name, street address, city, state, CAGE code, and DUNS number, in its Executive Summary for completion of a DD-254 form. A DD-254 will be required in order to validate Facility Clearance prior to delivery of classified material. Questions related to these secure documents shall be routed through the proper channel of Offeror’s Facility Security Officer (FSO). Offeror’s not submitting a proposal or who withdraw their proposals must immediately return any information received directly from the Government.

L-1.2 NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT(S) OF INTEREST (OCI)

The offeror is reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either as a subcontractor or as a prime Contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those existing contractual arrangements in which a Contractor provides support to programs, operations or related activities for Marine Corps Systems Command. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive. The offeror‘s attention is directed to any "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (or similar) requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) that prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government during the prescribed period contained in the offeror’s or its subcontractor’s current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of a "support" or other type of contract(s).

Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an OCI clause or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the offeror shall comply with FAR 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI requirement. Offerors should review their existing contractual arrangements to determine whether they believe a potential conflict of interest exists, at any tier. If an offeror believes a potential conflict of interest exists, the offeror is required to notify the Contracting Officer within seven (7) calendar days of the date of this solicitation.

The offeror shall provide: (1) the contract number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work (or technical instruction) from the existing contract; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; (5) a proposed mitigation plan; and (6) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the offeror.

Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source. Any offeror who is determined to have an Organizational Conflict of Interest that cannot, in the Government’s opinion, be mitigated, may be deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition.

The Government will attempt to notify an offeror of any conflict of interest within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of all required information. Those offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The Offeror is notified that proposal preparation and any expenditure is at its own risk and will not be reimbursed by the Government if it is determined that an organizational conflict of interest exists.

Any offeror that proposes a subcontractor later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible subcontractor. The Government reserves the right to determine which offerors continue as part of the evaluation through the normal source selection process.

If the offeror determines that a potential organizational conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its Executive Summary in response to this solicitation.

L-1.3 REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATIONS (RFCs) Request for Clarifications/Questions about the solicitation documents are due by 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time 21 calendar days after RFP release to the Contracting Officer, Mr. Mohamed Elmi, at mohamed.elmi@usmc.mil with a copy to the Contract Specialist, Mr. Alex Lyon at alexander.lyon@usmc.mil and Ms. Anna Shuty at anna.shuty@usmc.mil in the following table format.

L-1.6 EVALUATION PROCESS OVERVIEW

Offerors shall submit their proposal prepared in accordance with the instructions presented herein. The evaluation of the proposals will consist of an adjectival rating of the offeror’s Technical Volume V, technical risk rating, and a relevancy/confidence assessment for Past Performance. Cost/Price will be evaluated but will not be assigned a rating. All factors/ratings will be conducted in accordance with M-3.1 factor ratings.

The Government intends to award without discussions. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

L-1.7 SOURCE SELECTION METHODOLOGY

Competitive, Best Value Source Selection. The Government contemplates the competitive award of a single contract resulting from this solicitation. The proposal instructions in this section are designed to assist the offeror in preparing a complete response that reflects a full understanding of the proposed approach to accomplish all contractual requirements.

Offeror’s Best Terms. The offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the offeror’s best terms for technical, past performance, and price. The Government may conduct discussions with offerors in the competitive range in accordance with (IAW) FAR 15.306(c). If the Government contemplates award without discussions, the offerors may be given the opportunity IAW FAR 15.306, to clarify certain aspects of their proposals (e.g., the relevance of an offeror’s past performance information and adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond) or to resolve minor or clerical errors. All exchanges will be IAW FAR 15.306.

The Government reserves the right to consider as acceptable only those proposals submitted in accordance with all instructions set forth or referenced in this solicitation. A proposal that omits material elements required in the solicitation may be omitted from further consideration. Failure to comply with the requirements of laws and regulations set forth or referenced in the solicitation may affect eligibility for award.

Final Proposal Revisions. If discussions are held with offeror(s) determined to be in the competitive range, upon completion, the PCO will request that the offeror provide a Final Proposal Revision (FPR). Revisions to the Technical, Past Performance and Price Proposal Volumes shall be submitted by providing hard copies IAW Table L-2.1. The offeror shall provide the original as a “clean” copy, and the paper copies with “track changes.” Matching electronic copies shall also be submitted.

The offeror is advised that any changes to the proposal in the FPR shall be fully addressed and/or explained and reflected in the proposed price. Failure to comply with this requirement can adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal. The PCO will establish a common due date and time for submission of the FPR.

When final proposal revisions are requested, any revisions or non-compliance with contract terms and conditions submitted in the final proposal revision may not be subject to further discussion or negotiation and may render the offer unacceptable to the Government. This provision is not intended to restrict the offeror’s opportunity to revise figures, e.g., prices, discounts, or percentage rates. Rather, it is intended to preclude any misunderstandings by the Government, which could result if new or revised terms and conditions are submitted in the final proposal revision that have not been fully disclosed, discussed, and understood during discussions or negotiations. Hence, such new or revised terms and conditions are not solicited and, if submitted in the final proposal revision may render the offer unacceptable to the Government.

L-2.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF OFFERS

Purpose. These instructions prescribe the requirements for proposals and describe the approach for the development and presentation of proposal data. They are designed to ensure the submission of information essential to the understanding and comprehensive validation of proposals. Offerors are cautioned to follow the instructions carefully.
