The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0005 SUMMARY

The following changes have been made:

Section L

LA-1 CONTENT OF PROPOSALS (SERVICES)

In Part A, Section 4.0 Proposal Packaging and Submission, alternate proposal submission instructions in the event of a partial Government shutdown are provided.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

LA-1

LA-1 CONTENT OF PROPOSALS (SERVICES) (OCT 2012) (JUL 2013)

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

Offerors are required to submit sufficient information concerning all evaluation factors to enable Government personnel to fully assess the capabilities of the Offeror to perform all requirements. The proposal must be sufficient in detail and scope to enable evaluation and provide the evaluators a clear understanding of the Offeror’s approach, expertise, experience and capability as required by the solicitation. All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of all requirements and associated risks; is able, willing, and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet all requirements; and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements and potential risk areas. The Offeror shall not alter or rearrange the solicitation. The burden of proof for all substantiation within the proposal rests with the Offeror. Offerors are advised that the Government may incorporate any part of the Offeror’s proposal deemed beneficial to the Government, into the final contract. With the exception of Volume 4 Price, no cost/price should appear in any other volume. Alternate proposals are not acceptable.

In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization should be emphasized during proposal preparation. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to present enough information to allow the various work efforts, support, and management approaches, as well as cost/price, to be meaningfully evaluated. Unsubstantiated statements that the prospective Offeror understands, can or will comply with the specifications, or paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof are considered inadequate and may render a rating of unacceptable.

The Offeror must include any data necessary to illustrate the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. There is no need to repeat information in more than one volume. The detailed information must be included in the most logical place and summarized and referenced in other areas if an overlap exists.

Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

Throughout these instructions, Offeror is defined as the prime contractor with its CAGE code identified in Block

15A on Standard Form (SF)-33, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. “Principal Subcontractors” are defined as a subcontractor who provides at least 10% of the proposed total price for the contract. A “Joint Venture” (JV) is a partnership or teaming arrangement that is formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation when the prime contractor consists of more than one legal entity. “JV Team Members” are the entities that make up a Joint Venture.

“Critical Subcontractors” are subcontractors that perform a critical function, whether technical or financial, in the performance of the resulting contract. The term entity is used to mean any or all of the following: Prime, principal subcontractor, critical subcontractor, JV, and/or each JV team member or other subcontractor.

2.0 PROPOSAL FORMAT AND SUBMISSION

Proposals must be formatted using a Times New Roman 12 point normal font (no reduction permitted), single-spaced with 1-inch margins all around, and formatted for/printed on standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper. All pages should be numbered with volume, paragraph, and page numbers. When fold-out pages are used, they must not exceed 11 x

17 inches and will be counted as 1 page. Drawings may be provided separately and may be any size but should be folded to approximately 8.5 x 11 inch standard size and will count as 1 page. If the Offeror uses graphs to convey information the graphs must show enough detail to easily discern the information described. Graphs and tables shall be presented in no smaller than a 10 pt font. Graphs should contain a grid, which allows values to be read directly from the graph to the same detail that a 10 x 10 to the ½ inch grid provides. Graphic resolution should be consistent with the purpose of the data presented. Text utilized in charts, figures, and graphics shall also be no smaller than a

10 pt font and may use a font type selected by the Offeror. Each volume, book, or annex shall be provided separately in a 3-ring binder. The binders should be of an appropriate thickness for the number of pages it contains

(e.g., a 30-page book shall not be placed in a 2-inch binder).

2.1 Electronic Submission of Proposal

This section is intended to provide information to the Offeror on the electronic format and application software to be used for submitting proposals. Use of the software and procedures described in this section will reduce the amount of time and effort needed to receive and install proposals onto the electronic evaluation system, and will ensure that the proposals received are suitable for reading electronically.

2.1.1 Electronic Proposal Media

The Offeror should submit all volumes of its proposal electronically on CD-ROM(s) compatible with the operating system and applications defined in Section 2.1.2 below. The Offeror should put as much proposal material as possible on each CD-ROM, keeping the portions of the proposal that contain pricing information on separate CD-

ROM(s) from the portions of the proposal that do not contain pricing information. For this solicitation, Annex A

(Small Business Subcontracting Plan); Volume 4 Cost/Price; and Volume 5 Contract Administration contain price information and should be delivered on separate CD-ROM(s) from the remainder of the proposal. The Offeror should submit two sets of CD-ROMs that contain its proposal. One set of CD-ROM disks should be marked

"Master," the other should be marked "Back-Up." Both sets of CD-ROM disks should be clearly marked with the

Offeror's name and address, the point of contact's name and phone number, and proposal volumes contained therein.

The Offeror is responsible for ensuring electronic proposals are virus free in accordance with Section 2.1.4.

2.1.2 Operating System and Applications

The proposals will be accessed utilizing the Microsoft XP Professional Operating System. The Offeror shall submit two identical proposals in separate, electronic versions: one version in Portable Document Format (.pdf) and one version in Microsoft Office 2007 Applications (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and

Microsoft Project). The .pdf document must be fully searchable. The Offeror is responsible for ensuring that the

.pdf and the appropriate Microsoft Office 2007 applications versions contain identical information. The

Government shall have the discretion to use the information in either version, and shall not be responsible for any differences in content between the two proposal formats submitted by the Offeror. Use of other application software for submission of proposals is prohibited except where specific instructions for non- PDF or Office 2007 applications are provided.

2.1.3 Hyperlinks

Offerors may use hyperlinks within and among proposal volumes that do not include price information. However, there shall be no links from any other volume into Volume 4 Price or any portion of the proposal that contains price information.

2.1.4 Virus Free Electronic Submission

Offerors are responsible for ensuring that its electronic proposal is virus free. The Offeror shall certify, in its proposal cover letter, that all electronic proposal information has been checked for viruses, and specify the software, version, and virus definition used to check the data. With each subsequent submission of proposal information (e.g., responses to Evaluation Notices, Final Proposal Revisions, etc.), the Offeror shall ensure and certify that its files are virus free.

2.1.5 Multimedia

The Offeror should not embed sound or video (e.g., MPEG) files within the proposal submission.

2.1.6 Graphics

Large files require greater computer system resources and are discouraged. The Offeror is encouraged to:

a. Simplify the color palette used in creating figures;

b. Minimize size of graphics files; and

c. Avoid scanned images.

2.1.7 Evaluation Hardware

The source selection facility uses the following type workstation computer systems and printers.

ITEM EQUIPMENT

Workstations Intel® Core ™ Duo CPU or better

2.94 GB RAM

19” Monitors

CD-ROM Drive

PART B SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 VOLUME 1 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Note: This volume shall not contain any reference to price aspects of the offer.

The following is a list of Section L Attachments that the Offeror shall utilize to provide information for this volume:

Attachment L-2 Executive Summary Tables

The purpose of the Executive Summary is to provide the Government with an overview of the Offeror’s entire proposal and strategy, excluding price. This Volume shall state the proposal validity date of 31 August 2014. Each section within the Executive Summary shall contain the salient points contained in each of the proposal volumes. In addition, this table should be used by the Offeror to identify and highlight significant features of its proposal. The

Executive Summary volume should be divided into the areas outlined below:

a. Offeror Summary Table

(1) The Offeror shall complete Table ES-1 (Offeror Summary), provided in Attachment L-2 (Executive

Summary Tables), according to the instructions within the attachment, and submit it within this section.

(2) The Offeror shall provide a written explanation if multiple CAGE codes/DUNS for the same physical location are provided in Table ES-1 (Offeror Summary). The written explanation shall detail the distinct roles and responsibilities for entities with different CAGE codes/DUNs at the same physical location for where the work is being performed or from where the work is being directed. The description shall include all changes in the organization as a result of a corporate acquisition, reorganization, merger, or other administrative reason.

Note: Place of Performance for this solicitation pertains to the physical location of the prime, all subcontractors, JV and JV team members that are deploying personnel or responsible for the work; not the

Government site where the work is being performed. If work is being performed at a contractor site, then that would also pertain to Place of Performance.

b. Relevant Contract Summary Table

The Offeror shall complete the Table ES-2 (Relevant Contract Summary) provided in Attachment L-2

(Executive Summary Tables), for all contracts proposed as relevant for Past Performance for the Prime, principal subcontractors, critical subcontractors, JV and JV team members.

2.0 VOLUME 2 - TECHNICAL

Note: This volume shall not contain any reference to price aspects of the offer.

The following is a list of Section L Attachments that the Offeror shall utilize to provide information for this volume:

Attachment L-3 Table T-1 Small Business Goals

Attachment L-10 Manpower Chart

Throughout the Technical Volume the Offeror should identify any proposed capability, approach or feature that exceeds a requirement or provides merit associated with a performance or operational benefit to the Government.

The Offeror should also identify any proposed capability, approach or feature that reduces risk inherent in the program. Specifically, explain the benefits to the Government in technical terms and the degree of impact it will have to performance, operations and/or risk. Appreciably exceeding requirements that are expressed as a minimum or threshold requirement can potentially produce performance or operational benefits. Beyond the point where there is no additional performance or operational benefit, risk reduction may be assessed. Additionally, a proposal that provides the Government with a capability, service or resource that is not specifically required, but benefits the

Government can have merit if it appreciably enhances performance and/or operations to benefit the Government.

Offerors are advised that any offer to exceed a requirement or to provide a feature with performance and/or operational benefits may be included in the resulting applicable Contract within the proposed price.

2.1 Phase In/Transition Plan

In Annex D, provide a Phase In Plan that addresses the elements listed in the solicitation, PWS, paragraph 4.1.

Describe the Offeror’s approach to initiating this program and provide a detailed Plan Of Action and Milestones

(POA&M) for actions that will be required to begin performing in accordance with the requirements of this solicitation, including obtaining base access. Identify the major challenges with regard to start-up and provide an approach to mitigate risk. Provide a detailed plan to train personnel during transition, including method for incorporation of lessons learned at previous site transition(s), and formal certification/licensing procedures for personnel. Provide a POA&M for the development of the work instructions, procedures, and planning documents that are needed to begin the program. The Offeror shall submit a detailed time phased manning plan that indicates staffing by site, and function during transition.
