Clause Section L, 1 is incorporated as follows:

Section L, 1 General Instructions for Submission of Proposals

(A) Offerors are expected to be sufficiently knowledgeable of the missions and administrative procedures of the Navy ManTech Centers of Excellence to adequately prepare their offers and other proposal information to be submitted under this solicitation. Information relating to operational, strategic plans and technical programs is available from various documents, some of which can be accessed on the Internet at the Navy ONR Website: http://www.onr.navy.mil.

(B) The Technical Proposal shall be placed in Volume I. Signed copies of the SF33 and all amendment(s), if any, shall be included at the front of the Technical Volume binder. The Past Performance Proposal shall be placed in Volume II. The Price (Cost Plus Fixed Fee) Proposal shall be placed in Volume III.

Organizational and Personal Conflicts of Interest shall be placed in Volume IV. Offerors shall also include Attachment 9, ONR Specific Representations and Certifications (See Section J for a copy of the document) in their proposal submission behind Volume IV. Offerors who are required to submit a Compensation Plan, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, and/or filled out Section K Representations and Certifications shall place those documents behind Volume IV. Note that not all offerors will be required to submit these documents based on their business type.

(C) All volumes should be written and organized so as to be compatible with the RFP, the Statement of Work, and company's organization and accounting structure.

(D) As of Amendment A0002, the proposal submission process has changed. Changes are noted in bold.

Prime offerors shall provide one (1) original and five (5) paper copies of all Volumes (Technical, Past Performance, Price (Cost Plus Fixed Fee), and Organizational/Personal Conflict of interest) via hard copy. See the address below in paragraph

(I) for address of submission.

Electronic Versions of the proposal Volumes (Technical, Past Performance, Price (Cost Plus Fixed Fee), and Organizational/Personal Conflict of interest) shall be uploaded to the Department of Defense SAFE file exchange website at https://safe.apps.mil/.

Should the link not work type "DoD SAFE" into the web browser to locate the website. DoD SAFE can accept files up to 8 GB. Offerors are encouraged to send each Volume (I-IV) as separate uploads to the website; however, this is not required.

The Offeror shall address the DoD SAFE documents to the Contracting Officer only at https://safe.apps.mil/ mary.dent@navy.mil. Do not include any other personnel on the DoD SAFE submission.

The upload of Technical, Past Performance, and Organizational/Personal Conflict of interest volumes shall be in PDF and Microsoft Office formats. The upload of Price (Cost Plus Fixed Fee) shall be in PDF and Excel. All Word and Excel documents submitted via DoD SAFE shall be unlocked, i.e. not password protected.

The ONR Reps and Certs may be submitted as a signed PDF only.

Subcontractors who provide an unsuppressed copy to their Prime, for inclusion in the RFP response with no further information to be submitted to the Contracting Officer, shall provide include unlocked Word and Excel documents of their proposals for inclusion on the electronic copies.

Subcontractors who provide a suppressed copy to their Prime, for inclusion in the RFP response and intend to submit an unsuppressed submitted to the Contracting Officer, shall include unlocked Word and Excel documents of their proposals for inclusion on the electronic copies.

(E) Length.

(1) The length of Volume I, Technical Proposal shall not exceed 50 single-sided pages.

(2) There is no page limitation for Volume II, Past Performance Information Forms (PPIF).

(3) There is no page limitation on the length of Volume III, Price (Cost Plus Fixed Fee) Proposal.

(4) There is no page limitation on the length of Volume IV, Organizational and/or Personal Conflicts of Interest.

(5) Page limitations are maximums. If exceeded, the excess pages shall not be read or considered in the evaluation of the proposal and will be removed from the proposal. When both sides of a sheet display printed material, it shall be counted as two pages. Each page shall be counted except the following: Cover pages, page separators/tabs, glossaries, table of contents/indexes, past performance questionnaires and resumes. No material may be incorporated by reference as a means to circumvent the page limitations or for any other reason. If discussions occur prior to contract award, these page limitations do not apply for responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs). The specified page limits for EN responses will be identified in the letters forwarding the ENs to the Offerors.

(F) Page Size and Format shall be in accordance with the following:

(1) Proposals should be:

(a) Printed on plain white bond paper.

(b) Page size should be 8.5” X 11”, not including foldouts.

(c) Pages should be single spaced, and except for the reproduced section of the solicitation document, the text size should be no less than 12 point in Times New Roman font, with the exception of charts and graphs, which must be in 10-point font or larger.

(d) Use at least 1-inch margins on the top, bottom, and sides.

(e) Pages should be numbered sequentially by volume (i.e., Volume 1, Page 1).

(f) Foldouts of charts, tables, diagrams, or drawings should not exceed 11” X 17”, if used and should be 10 pt font or larger. Foldout pages shall fold entirely within the volume, and each side (front or back) of a foldout is considered two pages for purposes of determining the number of pages. When both sides (front and back) of a foldout display contain printed material, they will be counted as four pages. Page margins for the foldouts should be a minimum of one inch at the top, bottom, and each side. Foldouts may only be used for large tables, charts, graphs, diagrams, and other schematics, and not for pages of text.

(g) For Excel files that use currency, please round all values to the nearest whole dollar. Cents shall not be mailto:mary.dent@navy.mil used.

(G) Binding and Labeling. Be sure to apply all appropriate markings including those prescribed in accordance with FAR 52.215-1(e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data, and 3.104-4, Disclosure, Protection, and Marking of Contractor Bid or Proposal Information and Source Selection Information.

(H) Disposition of Offers and Proposal Information. Offers and proposal information will not be returned (except for timely withdrawals).

(I) Proposal Identification/Mailing. Offerors should assign their own identifying number to their proposal.

The proposal should be packaged for delivery so as to permit safe and timely arrival at destination. The proposal package should be sent to the address shown in Block 7 of the RFP face page and marked:

RFP: Enter RFP Number assigned on page 1 of this solicitation

Office of Naval Research One Liberty Center 875 North Randolph St.

Arlington, VA 22203-1995

Attn: Ms. Mary Helen Dent, Contracting Officer Email: mary.dent@navy.mil Telephone: (850) 276-2279

(J) As of Amendment A0002, the proposal submission process has changed. Changes are noted in bold.

Due to changes in security procedures since September 11, 2001, the time required for hard-copy written materials to be received at the Office of Naval Research has increased. Thus it is recommended that any hard-copy proposal be mailed several days before the deadline established in the solicitation so that it will not be received late and thus be ineligible for award consideration.

Hand delivery of hard copy proposals is no longer allowed. Delivery of the hard copy proposals will only be accepted via recognized delivery services, i.e. US Mail, FedEx, UPS, etc.

All proposals are due via DoD SAFE and at the physical location at the Office of Naval Research NLT the deadline for the proposal due date of 24 Jun 2020 at 1200 ET.

(K) Assumptions for Technical and Cost Proposals.

For the purposes of the COE Operations and Management (First Task Order) proposal, the Offeror shall use the following assumptions when preparing technical and cost proposals:

-One Special Project per year (see table below for estimating purposes) -One Rapid Response project(s); (see table below for estimating purposes) shall be shown separately from COE Operations and Management Costs.

-COE-level deliverables as referenced in Section J.

For Special Projects, the First Task Order shall include ALL project management hours for execution of Special Projects. Offerors shall not include labor hours for Special Project Development/Management in the individual proposed Special Project.

For the purposes of the Project Development and Management (Second Task Order) proposal, the Offeror shall use the following assumptions when preparing cost proposals:

Project Type Number of Projects Per Year Estimated Dollar Value per Project Estimated Period of Performance per Project

ManTech Projects 2 $7,500,000.00 2 years

Rapid Response 1 $200,000.00 6 months

Mega Rapid Response 1 $750,000.00 6 months

Special Projects 1 $200,000.00 6 months

The Project Development Task Order includes ALL project management hours for execution of ManTech projects. Offerors shall not include labor hours for Project Development/Management in the individual project plan.

(L) Proposal Compliance to the Solicitation

Upon receipt of proposals, a compliance check with Section L will be performed on all proposal submissions to verify compliance with the General Instructions. Offerors that do not comply with Section L will not receive an evaluation and will result in a disqualification for award.

(M) Submission of Subcontractor Proprietary Information

Subcontractors may provide their detailed cost information to their prime contractor; however, should a subcontractor not wish to provide this information to their prime, the subcontractor shall provide their proprietary information to the Contracting Officer, via email, no later than the deadline imposed on the prime contractors for submission of their proposals (see page 1, SF 33 of the RFP).

Subcontractors that do not provide their proprietary information to the Contracting Officer by the date and time as specified for proposal responses will not be evaluated. Subcontractor information submitted to the Contracting Officer shall follow the same instructions as noted in paragraph (D) above as it pertains to subcontractors.

Subcontractors that do not provide the information risk violation of paragraph (L) above. It is highly recommended that all Subcontractors proactively discuss their strategy with their Prime to assure compliance with Section L and to meet the deadlines in the RFP.

In the event that a Prime offeror has met the RFP response deadline (which includes a suppressed subcontractor proposal), and the Subcontractor has not submitted their proprietary information to the Contracting Officer after the RFP response deadline, the Government will consider the RFP package incomplete and any/all information submitted after the response date shall not be used in the evaluation.

The Contracting Officer notes that Subcontractor submissions that are not submitted in a timely manner shall not be analyzed regardless of email latency delays on either the Subcontractor or Navy servers.

As noted in paragraph (D), unlocked versions of Word and/or Excel are to be submitted from subcontractors to the Contracting Officer. Subcontractors that use file extensions which violate Navy server policies will not be analyzed.

Except as modified herein, all other terms and conditions remain unchanged and in full force and effort under award number [To Be Determined].
