L.3.2.5 Volume IV – Business Proposal (Evaluated in Section M, Factor 5)

Failing to provide a complete business submission may result in the Government disqualifying an Offeror’s proposal from competition. Offerors seeking any exception to the solicitation’s terms and conditions shall clearly explain the exception and its basis in their cover letter. Exceptions, however, may render the Offeror’s proposal unacceptable.

Provisions in the hard copy marked “original” in the Business Proposal govern in the case of any conflicts between the hard copy and the electronic version.

L.3.2.5.1 The Offer

The Business Proposal shall include a completed, signed copy of the entire solicitation with all appropriate “fill-in” sections completed as follows:

Section A: An official having the authority to bind the Offeror contractually must sign the SF33. If the individual is not an officer of the company, the proposal should include written evidence of the individual’s authority to bind the Offeror under contract to a particular course of action, such as a written delegation of authority signed by an officer of the company.

Section B: Follow the below instructions for particular Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) pricing:

o Offerors shall propose a single blended unit price for each of the five ordering periods for all

CLINs.

o Offerors shall include their overall proposed price at the end of the Schedule of

Supplies/Services section. The overall proposed price will be the sum of all CLIN and Sub

CLIN amounts. Failing to fill in the total price for each CLIN or failing to provide an overall proposed price may render the Offeror’s proposal non-responsive and maybe grounds for disqualification. Electronic copies in Microsoft Excel format shall include all applicable calculations in the individual cells.

o The pricing for each CLIN shall remain valid for the duration of the 60 month contract ordering period.

Section I: Complete all required fill-ins.

Section K: Complete all required certifications, representations, and acknowledgments for the prime contractor and subcontractors, as applicable.

E-CRRC Program.

The Contractor shall articulate their employee turnover rate as well as mean time of employment over the past 36 months. These figures shall be expressed plainly (not in percentages) and shall clearly identify number of employees employed over past 36 months, number of employees turned over during past 36 months, and the average time of employment for all employees actively involved in the design, development, and/or production of E-CRRC and/or similar crafts. Employee turnover rate and mean time of employment shall include all full-time employees, part-time employees, contracted employees, paid consultants, and any other person directly involved in the design, development, and/or production of the E-CRRC and/or similar crafts. These figures shall not include any employees that are not directly involved with the design, development, and/or production of E-CRRC and/or similar crafts

(executives, accountants, marketing, human resources, et cetera). This information shall be articulated in Volume IV of the RFP submission.

L.4 INCORPORATION OF TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

The Government may incorporate all or part of the successful Offeror’s technical proposal in any contract resulting from this solicitation. Additionally, the E-CRRC Performance Specification in the ultimately awarded contract will reflect all above-minimum performance levels or capabilities for which the Government gave evaluation credit during source selection. Nothing contained in the successful Offeror’s technical proposal shall constitute a waiver to any other requirement within the contract. The Order of Precedence clause governs in instances of conflicts between the successful Offeror’s technical proposal and any other requirement of the contract.

The successful Offeror shall provide, as necessary, any updated technical proposal changes reflecting the results of any clarification or discussion.
