L.3.0 PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS

This section delineates general information and requirements to be followed in the preparation of the Offeror’s proposal. If an Offeror fails to comply with the content requirements, this will be considered during evaluation and may result in ineligibility for award.

An Offeror’s proposal shall be sufficiently detailed to enable Government evaluation board members to make a thorough evaluation, and to arrive at a sound determination as to whether or not the prospective Offeror will be able to perform in accordance with the stated requirements.

The Offeror’s proposal shall be specific, detailed and complete as to clearly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough comprehension of the total technical requirements, including compliance with TI 16 SSDS Mk 2 requirements documents, the Statement of Work (SOW), and all other requirements contained in the solicitation.

Offerors should assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror's proposals only. The Contractor should not presume that data previously submitted, or presumed to be known (e.g., data or services previously submitted or performed for the Government), will be considered as part of the proposal. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. Failure to conform to all requirements of this solicitation may form the basis for rejection of the proposal.
