28 RFP

Section 5, Cost or Pricing Related

Data on page 59;

Section L-11, Clauses incorporated by reference, on page

Offerors are asked not to propose an EVMS per page 59 of the RFP, per the last paragraph of Section 5 which reads “Earned Value Management System (EVMS) is not a requirement under this solicitation and shall not be proposed by Offerors”.

However, the RFP includes DFARS 252.234-7001 (incorporated by reference in L-11, page 73). Part

(b) of DFARS 252.234-7001 explicitly states that “offeror shall submit a written description of the management procedures it will use and maintain in the performance of any resultant contract to comply with the requirement of the Earned Value Management System clause of the contract”.

QUESTION: Will the government remove the DFARS clause by reference in L-11 from the solicitation, since per Section 5 an EVMS is not a requirement?

As stated, EVMS is not a requirement. DFARS 252.234-7001 as incorporated by reference has been removed from Section L.
