SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

L.1 General Instructions

1. Offerors shall carefully follow the instructions contained herein to assure timely and equitable evaluation, and to avoid exclusion from further consideration. Please be advised that any exception, deviation, or request for waiver from the instructions provided in Section L, or any other section of this solicitation, may render your proposal unacceptable and ineligible for award.

2. The Government will conduct a two phased approach to Source Selection:

a. 1st Phase - Preliminary Document Submission (See L.2 below)

b. 2nd Phase - Proposals (See L.3 below)

3. The preliminary documents and proposals shall be complete and clear in all respects without the need for additional explanation or information. Offerors shall ensure proposals provide a straightforward and concise delineation of capabilities to perform the contract. Organization, clarity, accuracy of information, and relevance are of prime importance. The preliminary documents and proposals shall provide sufficient detail and scope to permit the Government to evaluate them in accordance with the evaluation factors specified in Section M of this solicitation.

4. Offerors should confine their preliminary documents and proposals to essential matters sufficient to define their offer, which will provide an adequate basis for evaluation. Likewise, where applicable, Offerors are cautioned against general, vague, or unsubstantiated statements, which prevent, or render difficult, the Government’s evaluation. Statements such as, "will comply," or "noted and understood" without supporting discussion to define compliance are not acceptable. Further, where applicable, preliminary documents and proposals that merely “parrot back” the requirements of the solicitation, and fail to provide the required information or approach to meeting the solicitation’s requirements, are not acceptable and will render the Offeror unsuitable for award. 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 preliminary documents and proposals. An Offeror who was or is an incumbent or subcontractor for an incumbent for any of the previous contracts is still required to demonstrate in its preliminary documents and proposal that the offeror meets the requirements stated in this solicitation. An Offeror shall not, based upon the Offeror’s incumbency, presume the Government’s knowledge regarding its performance, capabilities, skills, or any other aspect which is not specifically provided in its preliminary documents or proposal.

5. The Offeror shall not include any classified material in its preliminary documents or proposal.

6. Offerors may not submit more than one (1) proposal in response to this solicitation.

7. Questions about the solicitation are due by noon Orlando, FL local time, 19 October 2018 with the information below identified clearly. Questions shall be submitted via email to sandi.brubaker@usmc.mil.

Telephone inquiries will not be accepted nor addressed. Please be advised that the Government has the absolute discretion to answer any question that it receives, and the Government is not obligated to answer any question. Moreover, no proprietary questions will be considered.

mailto:sandi.brubaker@usmc.mil

Please do not bundle multiple questions into one. Questions received after the above time and date may not be addressed. Government responses to any questions that it deems to answer will be posted electronically on an anonymous basis via Amendment to FEDBIZOPPS.

Offerors shall submit all questions in the format provided via Attachment J24, Q&A Matrix. Only questions submitted using Attachment J24 will be considered by the Government.

8. Any prospective offeror who desires Attachments J18 through J21 of this solicitation must complete, sign, and return the “Request for Controlled Distribution Documents” within this MTSS Request for Proposal, Attachment J13. The signed and dated document shall be submitted via email to sandi.brubaker@usmc.mil.

Once the signed certification has been verified, all controlled solicitation attachments will be emailed to the Data Custodian POC email via AMRDEC. The Government will not delay the due date for proposals because a prospective offeror failed to submit a completed Attachment J13 in a timely manner.

L.2 1st Phase, Preliminary Document Submission:

A. Offerors shall submit the following:

1. Offerors are required to identify any actual and/or potential organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs) related to the services anticipated to be provided by itself, as well as its consultants, and subcontractors.

This includes, but is not limited to:

‐ The existence of conflicting roles that might bias judgment; and

‐ Access to nonpublic information that will give the Offeror an unfair competitive advantage.

Offerors are advised that notwithstanding any certification submitted, the Contracting Officer reserves the right and has the obligation pursuant to FAR subpart 9.5 to identify, analyze, avoid, neutralize, mitigate or waive any actual or significant potential OCI or an appearance of an OCI. If an Offeror becomes aware of an actual or potential OCI at any time after submission of its certificate, it has an ongoing obligation to inform the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer may request additional information at any time from Offerors to facilitate this obligation. Such Contracting Officer requests shall not be considered discussions. Moreover, the Contracting Officer reserves the right and has the obligation to determine whether an Offeror should be excluded from the competition based on the existence of a significant potential OCI, or an appearance of an OCI that cannot be avoided, neutralized, mitigated or waived in his or her sole discretion.

Offerors shall submit with their preliminary documents an OCI certification, using one of the following:

a. If an actual or potential OCI is identified by the Offeror, for itself or its employees, consultants, and proposed subcontractors, the Offeror shall submit the following certification and a mitigation plan:

“I, [Name and Title], certify that, as of the date by my signature below: 1) I am an official authorized to bind [insert Offeror name]; and 2) the following are all of the actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest that have been identified: [Insert list of actual and potential OCIs and mitigation plan].”

b. If no actual or potential OCI is identified by the Offeror for itself or its employees, consultants, and proposed subcontractors, the Offeror shall submit the following certification:

“I, [Name and Title], certify that, as of the date by my signature below: 1) I am an official authorized to bind [insert Offeror name]; and 2) I further certify that following diligent review, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that none of [insert Offeror name] nor its employees, consultants or proposed subcontractors have any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest.”

2. Offerors shall submit:

a. Copies of the latest available financial statement(s) covering the Offeror’s organization, i.e., the entity that will be awarded and perform the contract. If the Offeror is a new entity proposed as a joint venture, describe how it will handle financial matters;

If the Offeror has not received any Show Cause Notices, Cure Notices or Terminations for Default in the past five years, the Offeror shall insert a statement as follows, signed by an individual authorized to bind the Offeror and dated:

“[Insert entity name] has not received any Show Cause Notices, Cure Notices or Terminations for Default in the past five years.”

This information will be utilized to help establish responsibility in accordance with FAR 9.104.

Offerors are advised that matters of responsibility are not discussions as defined in FAR 15.306. As such, the Contracting Officer reserves the right, at his or her sole discretion, to address any responsibility issue with any Offeror at any time.

3. Reserved.

4. Reserved.

5. Reserved.

6. Provide the name, title and telephone number of the Offeror’s point of contact(s) regarding decisions made with respect to its proposal and who can obligate the company contractually.

61-300, respectively, Contractors and subcontractors who enter into, or modify a contract or subcontract with the federal government, and whose contract meets the criteria set forth in the above legislation/regulations, are required to report annually on their affirmative action efforts in employing veterans.

As such, Offerors shall submit a copy of the confirmation of receipt notification (e-mail) for verification of successful submission of VETS 4212 report. If a Contractor, for any reason, cannot produce a confirmation notification, then they may contact the VETS-4212 Service Center to request a verification search to be performed.

Phone: (866) 237-0275 Email: VETS4212-customersupport@dol.gov

*Please note that to perform a verification search, the VETS-4212 Service Center will need one or a combination of the following information.

8. Submit evidence of a valid Top-Secret Facility Clearance as determined by the U.S. Government in the form of a DDS FL 381-R, or a Facility Clearance Verification Letter obtained through the National Industrial Security System (NISS).

9. The Offeror shall submit certification by an individual who has the authority to contractually bind the Offeror, stating that the Offeror (i) follows generally accepted accounting practices (GAAP), and (ii) has not knowingly submitted cost or pricing data that were incomplete, inaccurate, or not current to the Government at any time using the following language:

“I, [Name and Title], by my signature below, am duly authorized to contractually bind [insert Offeror name], certify that [insert Offeror name]: 1) follows generally accepted accounting practices (GAAP), and

2) has not knowingly submitted cost or pricing data which were incomplete, inaccurate, or not current to the Government over the past five years.”

10. The Offeror shall submit the following Cooperation Certification, signed by an individual with the authority to legally bind the Offeror, using the following language:

“I, [Name and Title], certify that: a) I am an official authorized to bind [Insert Offeror Name]; b) on behalf of [Insert Offeror Name], I have read and understand the terms of the Attachment J1 - Base Contract PWS, paragraph 3.1.2.1 Cooperation; c) pursuant to the Cooperation paragraph, should Contracting Officer intervention be required, the Government reserves the right to terminate a task order for convenience at no cost to the Government; and d) in such case, the Government may make an award to another IDIQ MATOC contractor based on proposals received in response to the initial request for task order proposals.”

11. If applicable, the Offeror shall submit copies of its current Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA), Forward Pricing Rate Recommendations (FPRR), and any DCAA audits conducted within the past 10 years regarding the Offeror’s accounting system, including, but not limited to an audit documenting that the Offeror has an approved accounting system.

12. Offerors shall complete Attachment J12 for each of the following Organizational Experience requirements:

a. Organizational Experience #1: Instructional Systems Design/Systems Approach to Training and Education. The Offeror shall complete Attachment J12 demonstrating its experience using the Instructional Systems Design/Systems Approach to Training and Education in support of a Department of Defense formal course(s) of instruction for a minimum of one (1) year of continuous performance where a portion of performance occurred within the past five (5) years.

b. Organizational Experience #2: Supporting Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) Training Events. The Offeror shall complete Attachment J12 demonstrating its experience: (1) developing training exercise concepts, (2) creating (new), or modifying (existing) training exercise scenarios, and (3) providing modeling and simulation systems operation, planning and support for military training and exercises for Regiment/Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) echelon of operating forces command, or above Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training events where a portion of performance occurred within the past five (5) years. Offerors should address the contract requirements as part of their description.

c. Organizational Experience #3: Network and System Administration/Cybersecurity. The Offeror shall complete Attachment J12 demonstrating its experience performing network and system administration, and cybersecurity (i.e., RMF) functions for a minimum of one (1) year of continuous performance where a portion of performance occurred within the past five (5) years.

d. Organizational Experience #4: Geographically Dispersed Contract Performance. The Offeror shall complete Attachment J12 demonstrating its experience providing educational and training services to the U.S. Armed Forces at multiple geographic locations for a period of one (1) year of continuous performance where a portion of performance occurred within the past five (5) years.

e. Organizational Experience #5: International Experience. The Offeror shall complete Attachment J12 demonstrating its experience performing at locations outside of the United States.

Offerors are required to describe a single contract (i.e., no more than one contract) for each of the above corporate experience requirements. Offerors may reference the same contract to demonstrate a combination of more than one and up to all of the corporate experience requirements within a single corporate experience requirement.

The Government will only evaluate information regarding Offerors. Due to the extended period of performance for the IDIQ MATOC award, the Government is unwilling to evaluate the organizational experience for any proposed subcontractors.

The Government will not evaluate the corporate experience of individuals, predecessor corporations or corporate parent/affiliates; provided, however that for a joint venture formed to perform this effort the Government will consider the corporate experience of members in the event that there is a contractual commitment that all members will continue as part of the joint venture during the entire period of performance of the contract; provided, further, that for other than a joint venture the Government will consider corporate experience of a predecessor corporation or parent or affiliate where the Offeror demonstrates that the resources of the predecessor corporation or parent or affiliate were meaningfully involved in the corporate experience contract performance and the Offeror includes an express commitment that the resources of the successor entity or parent or affiliate will be available to and meaningfully involved in performance under the IDIQ MATOC. In this regard, Offerors should address, for example, the resources of the predecessor corporation involved in the successor entity, conditions such as interlocking officers and board of directors, the parent’s officers taking an active role in contract performance, and contract management and substantive support provided by the parent’s corporate office.

The Government does not intend to contact points of contact to verify corporate experience, and it is incumbent upon Offerors to include information sufficient to demonstrate relevant experience. The Government, may, however, verify the existence of contract awards or the scope of contracts awarded.

B. Submission Instructions for Phase 1:

1. Offerors shall provide three (3) paper copies of the information identified above in Section L.2.A, and separately bind each copy in three-ring binders. In addition, Offerors shall provide one (1) electronic copy (e-copy) of the aforementioned information on a CD ROM.

The cover letter must identify whether Offerors are taking any exception, deviation and/or requesting a waiver from any of the terms or conditions of this solicitation that is signed and dated. Please be advised that any exception, deviation or request for waiver from the instructions provided in Section L or any other section of this solicitation may render the proposal unacceptable and ineligible for award.

"I, [Name and Title], certify that: 1) I am an official authorized to bind the entity; and 2) [Insert Offeror Name] is taking exception to, deviating from, or requesting waiver from the following term(s) or condition(s) of the solicitation [identify section of proposal]."

4. Past Performance Proposal

a. Offerors will be required to identify three (3) contract efforts that display recent and relevant past performance that demonstrates the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform in accordance with the PWS; Offerors may use the same contract number to demonstrate successful performance for purposes of the three contract efforts. Past performance for proposed subcontractors will not be evaluated. Offerors are discouraged from using IDIQs, and should limit their description to a single contract or task order under an IDIQ; provided, however, that if multiple task orders under an IDIQ are for the same effort and need to be viewed holistically to fully respond to the Government’s request for a past performance reference of similar scope and complexity, Offerors may include multiple task order contract numbers, but must justify that approach in their description. “Recent" is defined as any portion of the work having been performed within the past 5 years of this proposal submission date as specified in Block 9 on page 1 of the solicitation. In the event than an Offeror has over five (5) years of continuous service on an effort, it should note the work performed within five

(5) years of the proposal submission date and use this data to address the requirements in paragraphs

(i) – (vi). "Relevant" is defined as efforts with contract performance and responsibility similar to this solicitation performed by the Offeror, to include the following aspects:

i) The contract type

ii) Total dollar amount of funded performance (i.e., base and all exercised options, or awarded orders with any exercised options. Unexercised options of unfunded ceiling value SHALL NOT be included)

iii) The length of the period of performance of the past performance effort

iv) CAGE code/DUNS number

v) The scope and complexity of the effort in comparison to this solicitation with respect to Network and System Administration and Cybersecurity, Curriculum Development and Doctrinal Publications, and Training Events/Exercises and Formal Learning Centers. An explanation of the relevancy in terms of scope and complexity of the Offeror's past performance reference. As part of the explanation, Offerors should identify solicitation requirements for MTSS and explain why the performance on the past performance reference contract is relevant.

Offerors shall also present the following information for each past performance reference: Name, title, email address, phone number and any additional information for a point of contact for the contract.

b. The Government will not evaluate the past performance of individuals, predecessor corporations or corporate parent/affiliates; provided, however that for a joint venture formed to perform this effort the Government will consider the past performance of members in the event that there is a contractual commitment that all members will continue as part of the joint venture during the entire period of performance of the contract; provided, further, that for other than a joint venture the Government will consider past performance of a predecessor corporation or parent or affiliate where the Offeror demonstrates that the resources of the predecessor corporation or parent or affiliate were meaningfully involved in the past performance contract and the Offeror includes an express commitment that the resources of successor entity or the parent or affiliate will be available to and meaningfully involved in performance under the IDIQ MATOC. In this regard, Offerors should address, for example, the resources of the predecessor corporation involved in the successor entity, conditions such as interlocking officers and board of directors, the parent’s officers taking an active role in contract performance, and contract management and substantive support provided by the parent’s corporate office.

c. Forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment J16) attached to this RFP to the past performance contract customer’s Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the any past performance example under paragraph (a) that do not have completed CPARS Report. If available, the Government will utilize the completed CPARS in lieu of a completed PPQ.

Offerors shall instruct past performance points of contact (POC) to send completed PPQs to Ms.

Sandi Brubaker via email at sandi.brubaker@usmc.mil no later than the closing date and time specified in Block 9 on page 1 of the solicitation.

d. Offerors shall submit a list (Attachment J25) detailing the POCs with contact information (email address and phone number) for each PPQ sent out for completion.

e. In addition to the three (3) contract efforts discussed above, Offerors shall identify and provide any

Non-Systems Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) received within the past 5 years of this proposal submission date as specified in Block 9 of page 1 of the solicitation that received a Marginal or below rating for the “Quality” evaluation area. (Attachment J25) Moreover, Offerors shall identify any corrective action(s) or any other action it has taken to address, resolve, mitigate, and/or otherwise correct the issue(s) that were the cause of the Marginal or below CPARS rating as identified by the Government Assessing Official. The Government reserves the right to use contract performance data provided in the Offeror’s proposal and contract performance data obtained from other sources, including but not limited to the CPARS database or the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). In the event that an Offeror fails to disclose any CPARS rated Marginal or below within the last 5 years for the same CAGE code as the entity submitting the proposal, which is subsequently identified by the Government during the evaluation of its proposal submitted pursuant to this solicitation, the Offeror will not be eligible for award, otherwise considered for award, or evaluated further.

f. The Offeror has the burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information. It is incumbent upon Offerors to explain the relevance of data provided in its proposal. The Government has no duty to search for additional data to cure problems the Government finds in the information provided by the offeror.

A Small Business Subcontracting Plan (an Individual Small Business Contract Plan or a Government approved Master Subcontracting Plan) must be submitted in accordance with clauses: FAR 52.219-9 Small Business Subcontracting Plan (DEVIATION 2018 O0013) APR 2018 with Alternate II; and DFARS 252.219-7003 Small Business Subcontracting Plan (DoD Contracts)-Basic (DEVIATION 2018-O0007) DEC 2017 by all Large Business Offerors. Each page shall contain the following legend at the bottom of each sheet: Source Selection Information - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104.

6. The Government expects to conduct Oral Proposal presentations with all Offerors who have satisfactorily submitted all of the preliminary documents. The order of presentations will be randomly chosen. The Government will notify Offerors of the presentation day at the earliest possible time. Once assigned, the date of the Oral Proposal is not negotiable. Location of all Oral Proposals will be:

UCF Partnership III – 5th Floor 3039 Technology Parkway

7. The Government is not imposing any specific qualification requirements on the presenter. However, the Government strongly recommends that the presenter(s) possess knowledge of their presentation and bring representatives who possess the knowledge and skills to answer questions regarding the Offeror’s Technical Approach. Due to space constraints, the Offeror is limited to five presenters/Offeror attendees at the Oral Proposal. No attendees may participate from another location (e.g., via conference call or video conference). Upon notification by the Government of the specific date of presentation, Offerors shall provide an email of acknowledgement and a list of the names of presenters/attendees, for security purposes, to sandi.brubaker@usmc.mil. Offerors will not be permitted to substitute any personnel after the submission of the list to Ms. Brubaker. For security and timing purposes, all presenters/attendees must be U.S. citizens and shall be required to furnish a Government issued picture identification card (e.g., driver’s license) to verify their identity upon arrival to the Oral Proposal location. In the event that an Offeror brings an individual that is not identified on the list provided to the Government, the Government will request the unidentified person to leave. In the event that the unidentified person does not leave when requested to do so by the Government, the Offeror will forfeit its right to present, and render the Oral

Proposal unawardable/technically unacceptable. Moreover, the Government will exclude the Offeror from the competition, and not evaluate the Offeror any further.

8. The Government will print one color copy (one slide per page) of the Oral Proposal presentation for each

Government evaluator for reference during the Oral Proposal. No supplementary material may be provided by an Offeror before, or during, the Oral Proposal presentation. Once the proposal is submitted, Offerors may not update, modify, or otherwise change their Oral Proposal presentation. In the event that the Government determines that an Offeror updated, modified, or otherwise changed their Oral Proposal presentation, the Offeror will forfeit its right to present, and render the Oral Proposal unawardable.

Moreover, the Government will exclude the Offeror from the competition, and not evaluate the Offeror any further.

The slide presentation shall be submitted in PowerPoint, with a maximum of 50 slides. Offerors are prohibited from including “notes” on slides; Information outside of the presentation slide itself will not be evaluated. The slide deck must include a title page, which is included in the 50 PowerPoint slide limit that prominently displays the Offeror’s name, the solicitation number, and the date of the Oral Proposal presentation. Each slide after the title page must be numbered sequentially at the bottom of the slide/page and must be clearly visible. While the Government will not prescribe fonts or sizes, Offerors are reminded that the Government has requested Offerors orally present their technical proposals. The Government did not request written proposals, and Offerors should not include written information in the PowerPoint presentations that is not discussed as part of the oral presentation. Each slide shall contain the following legend at the bottom of each sheet: Source Selection Information - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104. The slide deck must address the elements of the Technical Approach in the order in which they appear in L.3.12.

Offerors are expected to discuss all of the content in the slides during their oral presentations. Failure to address all of the elements listed in L.3.12 as part of the oral presentation is a failure to submit a proposal in conformance with the terms of the solicitation and will render the Oral Proposal unawardable.

9. The Government will inform Offerors of the start time for the oral presentation, which will be during business hours. Offerors should not expect to have access to the location more than 10 minutes before the start time. The Government will allot up to 150 minutes for each Offeror to present their Oral Proposal.

Offerors that arrive late will be permitted to present but will not be permitted to exceed the originally scheduled time allotment. Offerors will not be downgraded for not utilizing all of their time allotment.

Offerors are expected to bring a laptop with the slides loaded and an HDMI connection. (The Government notes that in prior oral presentations, Offerors have been unable to successfully use the HDMI connection with other than PC laptops.) The Government will provide a room outfitted with large screen televisions on which the presentations may be displayed. Offerors are expected to provide any additional equipment deemed necessary. The Government will not provide Internet access, and Offerors are encouraged not to rely upon cell or other reception for the success of their Oral Proposal; cell phone hotspots, mifi or other portable WIFI devices may violate security requirements and be confiscated. Moreover, the Government will not reschedule Oral Proposals due to technical difficulties; Offerors must be prepared to proceed based on the hard copy Oral Proposal presentation in the event of equipment failure. Offerors are prohibited from using any recording devices (audio or video) in the UCF Partnership III building where Oral Proposals will be held.

10. Offerors can expect to present for up to 150 minutes without fielding questions from the Government. The Government evaluation team will have evaluation sheets to complete during the presentation. Once the Offeror’s presenter indicates they have completed their presentation, or the Government has notified the presenter their 150 minute time allotment is over, the Government will caucus and engage in internal deliberations. The Government evaluation team may inform the Offeror’s presenters that it needs a “break” during which the Offeror is free to leave and the Government will inform it of a return time, or the Government may request that the Offeror’s presenters remain on site during deliberations. Upon reconvening, the Government may ask the Offeror questions. In such case, Offerors shall answer questions in real time. It is not anticipated that the question and answer session will take longer than one hour.

However, the Government reserves the right to insert a break, or extend the expected hour-long time frame, should the Government deem it necessary. The presentation concludes following the question phase.

11. The Offeror’s participation in the Oral Proposal constitutes its consent to be audio and visually recorded by the Government. The Government may review video and audio recording in caucusing and evaluation of presentations. However, in the event technical difficulties interfere with a recording, the Government will rely upon its written evaluations from the Oral Proposal. Offerors will not receive a copy of the audio or visual recordings. Any attempt by an Offeror’s presenters/attendees to record the presentation will result in an immediate termination of the Oral Proposal and render the Offeror’s Proposal unawardable.

12. Oral Proposals shall describe the Offeror’s approach to the following scenarios:

a) MCLOG Scenario, “POI Revision (Existing POI)”:

A consequence of Training and Readiness (T&R) manual changes is a need to revise Programs of Instruction (POI) for formal courses of instruction (CID) delivered by the Marine Corps Logistics Operations Group (MCLOG). Given a current T&R and Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) manual, discuss the outputs, and your role in developing the same, as they are generated through your application of the MCISD/SATE for the Marine Corps formal school at MCLOG.

b) MSTP Scenario, “Exercise Life Cycle”:

The MAGTF Staff Training Program (MSTP) provides training to MEF- and MEB-level staffs through their disciplined implementation of a well-defined exercise life cycle. Given a notional MEF- or MEB-level exercise that has been scheduled by the Force Synchronization Conference: (1) identify and describe your role supporting all MSTP Driven Events within the Exercise Life Cycle; and (2) identify and describe the relationship between the MSTP Driven Events and all other Exercise Life Cycle Key Events depicted within the Exercise Life Cycle.

L.4 Submission Instructions for Phase 2

1. Offerors shall AMRDEC a copy of the Oral Proposal presentation, SF33, small business subcontracting plan, Past Performance Proposal and a cover letter to sandi.brubaker@usmc.mil by 0800 local time Orlando on 13 November 2018, the date set forth in Block 9 of page 1 of the solicitation. Offerors are responsible for obtaining proof of timely submission via AMRDEC.

In the event the AMRDEC website is unavailable, offerors may submit a copy of the proposal (one on CD and one paper copy) via mail (FEDEX, UPS, US Postal Service, etc.), hand carry delivery, or email delivery. Offerors shall use the addresses identified in L.2(B)7 and L.2(B)8 for the respective delivery methods.

Offerors utilizing email delivery must keep email size under 10 megabytes in size and deliver to the following email addresses:

sandi.brubaker@usmc.mil and edward.mcgrail@usmc.mil

Offerors are permitted to provide emailed proposals in PDF, Powerpoint, or Word format, in the interest of remaining within the 10 megabyte size limitation, as long as the content provided does not differ from the content being presented during the oral presentation. Although 12 November 2018 is a Federal Holiday, the Government will be checking email to confirm receipt of proposals submitted in accordance with FAR 15.208(b)(2).

2. Failure to submit a timely proposal shall render the proposal unawardable. Furthermore, should the assigned date for the Oral Proposal be delayed because PM TRASYS is closed (for example, due to mailto:edward.mcgrail@usmc.mil weather), only the Oral Proposal presentation date itself will be rescheduled. The Offeror will still be required to timely meet the due date on Block 9 of page 1 of the solicitation.
