PROPOSAL

DO NOT OPEN IN MAIL ROOM

L.1.4 CONTENTS OF THE OFFER

L.1.4.1 The proposal shall be accompanied by a cover letter (letter of transmittal) prepared on the company’s letterhead stationery. The cover letter (letter of transmittal) shall identify all enclosures being transmitted and shall be used to transmit the proposal. The cover letter shall include name, address, phone, and e-mail information for the individual(s) to be contacted in the event the Government needs to contact the Offeror. The letter shall also clearly indicate the individual(s) that have the authority to enter into contractual obligations on behalf of the organization. Cover letters (letters of transmittal) are not considered part of the proposal, and will not be evaluated. NO PRICING INFORMATION SHALL BE CONTAINED IN THE COVER LETTER.

L.1.4.2 Offerors are required to submit a proposal which is sufficiently detailed and complete to fully demonstrate understanding of, and compliance with, all of the requirements of the solicitation and shall contain only material directly related to this solicitation. If an Offeror fails to comply with the formatting and content requirements of this solicitation, the Offeror’s proposal may be downgraded for failure to follow instructions.

L.1.4.3 General statements such as “the Offeror understands,” “the Offeror can or will comply with the requirements,” “standard procedures will be used,” “well-known techniques will be used,” or similar statements which merely paraphrase the solicitation in whole or in part will not constitute compliance with the requirements for proposal content. Data previously submitted, or presumed to be known (e.g., data or services previously submitted or performed for the Government), cannot be considered as part of the proposal unless physically incorporated into the proposal. Failure to conform to all requirements of this solicitation may form the basis for rejection of the proposal.

L.1.4.4 Each volume of the proposal shall be written to the greatest extent possible on a stand-alone basis so that its content may be evaluated with a minimum of cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for each Evaluation Factor, which is not found in its designated volume, will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

L.1.4.5 A legible, neat, orderly and comprehensive proposal is required. Elaborate brochures or artwork, expensive paper or bindings, or expensive visual or presentation aids beyond those sufficient to present a complete and comprehensive proposal are unnecessary. Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond those sufficient to present a complete effective response to this solicitation are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the Offeror’s lack of conscientiousness. Offerors shall follow the general rule that quality of information is significantly more important than quantity.

L.1.4.6 NO PRICING INFORMATION (VOLUME II) IS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL (VOLUME I).

L.1.4.7 The proposal consists of and must include the following:

Standard Form 33, “Solicitation, Offer, and Award,” with blocks 12 through 18 completed by the Offeror.
