To ensure the Government understands the context of the question, Offerors shall detail the applicable document name, document date or version, page, paragraph, clause or other specific citation to which the question applies. Information contained in the Government’s responses to bidder’s question shall not supersede any information contained in the solicitation (including amendments). In the event of a discrepancy between a response to a bidder’s question and the content of the solicitation, the latter shall take precedence.

Offerors shall not submit comments, questions, or inquiries to any Government representative other than the PCO and CS identified in this section.

The Government intends to distribute bidder’s questions and associated responses via public posting to the SAM website. However, any question or response that contains controlled unclassified information will not be posted publicly, but rather will be sent directly to those Offerors who have executed the TOUA and meet the security requirements detailed herein.

In the event that a prospective Offeror wishes to submit a comment or question that the prospective Offeror believes addresses a subject that is specific or proprietary to the Offeror, then the Offeror shall mark the question accordingly on the submission form and provide justification to support its claim. If the Government concurs with this identification, the Government will respond only to that potential Offeror. If the Government does not concur with this identification, it will inform the submitting Offeror and will not provide any further response. The Offeror may resubmit the question without the proprietary marking if the Q&A deadline has not passed.

Offerors shall submit in accordance with this section any questions or suggestions related to the terms and conditions of this solicitation prior to the deadline for questions.

Therefore, any offer that includes “redlines,” condition(s) of offer, or any other deviation from the requirements of the solicitation may be rejected by the Government and will not be further evaluated for award. As such, Offerors shall submit in accordance with this section any questions or suggestions related to the terms and conditions of this solicitation prior to the deadline for questions.

The deadline for receipt of questions is 119 days after the date the original solicitation was issued (15 July 2022) (see Block 5 of the Standard Form 33). Any questions received after this date may not be answered prior to receipt of proposals.

Based upon paragraph 1.5 below, offerors shall not submit any classified questions or proposals in response to this solicitation.

1.5 SOLICITATION SECURITY CLASSIFICATION

This solicitation is unclassified.

1.6 AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS

Pursuant to the provision under this section entitled FAR 52.215-1, “Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition”, the Government intends to award a single contract on the basis of a proposal submission without conducting discussions with Offerors, but reserves the right to conduct discussions per FAR 15.306 “Exchanges with Offerors After Receipt of Proposals” if determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Each Offeror shall submit only one proposal for this requirement. No alternate proposals will be accepted, and the submission of multiple proposals for one requirement will result in rejection of the proposal and will not be further evaluated for award. Therefore, each Offeror’s proposal submission shall contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government may contact any, all, or a limited number of Offerors with questions concerning their proposals as permitted under FAR Part 15. Upon the conclusion of discussions, if they occur, the Government will request Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs) from all Offerors still within the competitive range.

1.7 PROTECTING CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION

Pursuant to DFARS 252.204-7008(c)(1), prospective Offerors are advised proper safeguarding of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is considered a special standard of responsibility for this solicitation. See FAR subpart 9.1. Failure to properly safeguard and mark Controlled Unclassified Information in a prospective Offeror’s proposal in accordance with applicable regulation and policy (to include Executive Order 13556, the Defense Acquisition Regulations Supplement and DoD Instruction 5200.48) may preclude the Contracting Officer from being able to provide the required affirmative determination of responsibility. If the Contracting Officer is unable to affirmatively determine the prospective Offeror to be responsible, the prospective Offeror will be ineligible for award.

2.0 GENERAL PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

The completion and submission to the Government of an offer shall indicate the Offeror’s unconditional acceptance of the terms and conditions in the solicitation.

The Government encourages Offerors to contact the PCO and Contract Specialist via the Bidder’s Question Process as outlined in Section L.1.4 above.

Offerors shall take care to submit a legible, neat, orderly, concise and comprehensive proposal. 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. Clarity is essential. The use of brochures shall be minimized and if used will count against page limits.

2.1 PROPOSAL STRUCTURE, FORMAT, AND PAGE COUNTS

Offerors shall structure proposal submittals such that the required content is organized as follows:

VOLUME

TITLE

PAGE

LIMIT

PAPER

DUPLICATES

ELECTRONIC

COPIES

I Executive

Summary 10 4 1

II Technical Approach and Capability

105 4 1

III Past Performance

See Note 1 4 1

IV Price Proposal None 1 1

Note 1: The total page limit for this volume will vary depending on the number of subcontractors for which the Offeror must provide past performance information. The past performance narrative for the Offeror shall not exceed five (5) pages in length. The past performance narrative for applicable subcontractors shall not exceed two (2) pages in length. Therefore, the page limit for this volume shall be (5 + 2x), where x represents the number of applicable subcontractors.

Each Offeror shall submit paper hard copies and separate electronic copies on CD-ROM or DVD media in the quantities specified above. All copies must contain the same information and format. See paragraph 3.0 and subparagraphs under this section for instructions regarding proposal content that must be submitted solely on electronic media and omitted from the paper versions, including the original and any copies, of the volume.

Offerors are advised that the quality of information is significantly more important than quantity. In this respect, Offerors will strictly observe the page count limitations for each volume. Pages in excess of the applicable page limit will not be read or evaluated and will be removed by the PCO from the back of the respective volume prior to evaluation. It is not necessary to supply the maximum number of pages allowed for each volume; fewer pages may be submitted. Offerors shall organize proposal content sections using index pages or tabbed index divider pages with clear cross-referencing to the table of contents. Only pages which count against page count limitations shall be numbered (e.g., 1, 2, 3), with the exception of the Price Volume. For the Price Volume only, pages must be numbered consecutively within each section, but page numbering may restart at the beginning of each section.

Section L.2.3 identifies specific items that will be exempt from the page count limitations set forth above. In addition, the following proposal content will be exempt from the page count limitations:

Cover letter Table of contents Title pages Index pages Tabs Glossary Cross Reference Matrix List of Tables and Figures

The Government may consider any failure on the part of an Offeror to comply with these instructions to be an indication of how the Contractor will comply with contract requirements during contract performance. Therefore, the Government encourages Offerors to contact the PCO and Contract Specialist via the Bidder’s Question Process outlined in Section L.1.4

Volumes I, II, III and IV shall each contain a cover letter containing:

Offeror name, address, and point of contact Offeror point of contact phone number and electronic mail address Offeror CAGE code and DUNS number Title of proposal, proposal number, and RFP number – Mechanical and Integration (N00024-22-R-5325) Volume number and title (e.g. “Volume II – Technical Proposal (Part 1 of X)”)

The Offeror shall submit a Cross Reference Matrix (CRM) for the Technical Volume, similar to the example below, to help ensure that all solicitation requirements are addressed and to facilitate the evaluators’ review of the Offeror’s proposal. The CRM should be a single integrated matrix and cross-reference the proposal volumes and paragraphs to specific RFP requirements, as well as other parts of the proposal that contain relevant information. The Offeror’s CRM may be identical to the example below or revised such as to add columns to indicate the page number on which information may be found, identify where other relevant information in the proposal is located, or provide other comments. The CRM does not count against any of the proposal page limitations.

Each factor and volume 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 factors and volumes of the proposal. Cross-referencing within a given factor is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity. In the event an Offeror decides to cross reference information, it is the responsibility of the Offeror to include the information in full and provide clear references to that information in other portions of the factor where the Offeror would like the evaluators to consider any duplicated information. Offerors are reminded of their burden to present its capability in a manner that is clear for evaluators.
