(a) The Offeror shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements in its proposal. The Offeror shall provide sufficient details and convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its facilities, capabilities, or approach.

(b) The Offeror shall include sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of the proposal. The proposal shall clearly demonstrate the Offeror’s understanding of the requirements and the feasibility of its approaches to meet those requirements. This is solely the Offeror’s responsibility.

Offerors shall identify technical uncertainties and assumptions within the requirements set forth in the solicitation and provide specific courses of action for their resolution.
