SUMMARY OF CHANGES

As a result of this amendment the following changes are made:

I. SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

A. The following provision has been added by full text:

“HQ L-2-0005 NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT(S) OF INTEREST

(NAVSEA) (JUN 1994)

(a) Offerors are reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, as either a subcontractor or as a prime contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those contractual arrangements in which the Offeror provides support to NAVSEA PMS 325, Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC), or Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC), or related laboratories (if applicable), in support of operation of the office or any of its programs. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505; however, this guidance is not all inclusive. The Offeror's attention is directed to the "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (or similar) requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) which prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government as described above during the period of the current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of the "support" contract(s). Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) clause or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the offeror shall comply with FAR 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI requirement.

(b) If a potential conflict of interest exists at any tier, each potential prime offeror is requested to notify the Contracting Officer within 14 days of the date of this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide: (1) the contract number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work (or technical instruction) from the existing contract; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; and (5) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the offeror. Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source.

(c) The Government will notify an offeror of any conflict of interest within 14 days of receipt of all required information. Those offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The offeror is notified that if it expends time and money on proposal preparation, such expenditure is at its own risk that the Government will not determine that an organizational conflict of interest exists.

(d) Any potential prime contractor which proposes a subcontractor later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible subcontractor. The Government reserves the right to determine which offerors remain in the competitive range through the normal source selection process.

(e) If the offeror determines that a potential organizational conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its response to this solicitation.”

B. L-3 Proposal Instructions Bidder Questions paragraph has been updated as shown in red below:

“BIDDER QUESTIONS
