L-1 CONTENT OF PROPOSALS (SUPPLIES OR SERVICES) (JUN 2011) (DEC 2014)

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

In accordance with FAR Subpart 6.202(a)(1), The Boeing Company and all its subsidiaries are excluded from the role of prime contractor and/or subcontractor for this contract in order to establish an alternative source for the supplies/services being procured. Should an offeror propose The Boeing Company or any of its subsidiaries as a

Joint Venture team member, principal subcontractor, critical team member, or subcontractor at any tier, the proposal submission shall be rejected in its entirety. If during the course of the evaluation of the proposal, the United States

(US) Government becomes aware that the offeror proposed any portion of this effort be performed by The Boeing

Company, the offer shall be unawardable.

Offerors are required to submit sufficient information concerning all evaluation factors to enable US 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 US Government may incorporate any part of the Offeror’s proposal deemed beneficial to the US Government, into the final contract.

With the exception of Annex B (Small Business Subcontracting Plan); Volume 4 Price; and Volume 5 Contract

Administration, no price should appear in any other volume. Alternate proposals will not be accepted.

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 price, to be meaningfully evaluated. Unsubstantiated statements that the 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 shall 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 materials 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/NCAGE code identified in

Block 15A on Standard Form (SF) 33, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. 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. A “JV Team Member” is defined as one of the entities that make up a JV or any other partnership or teaming arrangement formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation. The term

“entity” is used to mean any or all of the following: prime contractor, JV, critical team members, JV team members, any subcontractor, and corporate parent, division, subsidiary, or affiliate (e.g. any contractor with a different

CAGE/NCAGE code/DUNS than the Offeror). A “principal subcontractor” is defined as a subcontractor who provides at least 10% of the proposed total price (excluding the Offeror’s profit/fee) for the contract. “Critical team member” is defined as one of the entities of the Offeror that perform a critical technical function (i.e.

Security/Safeguarding, MAUS inspections and aircraft X-Rays) in the performance of the resulting contract.

Only the following entities will be used in the past performance evaluation: (a) the prime contractor; and (b) critical team members (c) JV Team Members and (d) principal subcontractors (excluding the Offeror’s profit/fee). These entities are considered relevant entities and only relevant entities will be used in the past performance evaluation.

All other entities will be considered non-relevant. The Offeror must demonstrate through the price proposal and/or other proposal information that these entities meet the definition of a relevant entity, or the US Government may deem the entity to be not relevant and thereby not include them in the past performance evaluation.

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/Diagrams 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 10pt 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 should 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 B

(Small Business Subcontracting Plan)); Volume 4 Price; and Volume 5 Contract Administration contain price information and should be delivered on separate CD-ROM(s) from the remainder of the proposal. Gen Inst Table 2

(Proposal Structure) identifies the number of sets of CD-ROMs that contain its proposal the Offeror should submit.

The first set of CD-ROM disks should be marked "Original." Subsequent sets of CD-ROM disks should be marked

"Copy 1, Copy 2, etc.” The 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, date of submittal and proposal volumes contained therein. The

Offeror is responsible for ensuring electronic proposals are virus free in accordance with Section 2.1.4. If a discrepancy exists between the original paper copy of the proposal and the disk copy, the disk copy shall take precedence.

2.1.2 Operating System and Applications

The proposals will be accessed utilizing the Microsoft Windows 7 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 2010 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 2010 applications versions contain identical information. The US

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 2010 applications are provided.

2.1.3 Hyperlinks

Offerors may use hyperlinks within and among proposal Volumes 1 through 3.There shall be no links from Volumes

1 through 3 into Volume 4. However, in Volume 4, links to other Volumes may be used.

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 and is virus free, 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.
