**INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFEROR** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY***

Offerors must submit the following with their proposal:

1) A signed quote by the solicitation closing date that a) states that the offeror is not taking exception to any solicitation term; b) includes unit prices and total prices for all CLINs stated above for which the Navy is soliciting.

2) A maximum of 3‐Page Technical Approach that clearly meets the requirements of the PWS.

OFFERORS SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WITH THEIR PROPOSAL OTHER

THAN WHAT IS STATED ABOVE. After the solicitation closing date, the contracting officer may require an offeror to promptly submit information to demonstrate the offeror is responsible. The Government will make a single award using a low price technically acceptable ("LPTA") source selection. The Government intends to award on initial offers but reserves the right to conduct discussions.

To be determined technically acceptable, the contracting officer will use the following rating table:

Rating Description Acceptable Proposal does not take exception to any term of solicitation and therefore clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Proposal must include the following required information below:

1) A signed quote by the solicitation closing date that a) states that the offeror is not taking exception to any solicitation term; b) includes unit prices and total prices for all CLINs stated above for which the Navy is soliciting.

2) A maximum of 3‐Page Technical Approach that clearly meets the requirements of the PWS.

Unacceptable Proposal takes exception to a solicitation term(s) and therefore does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Did not include the following required information below:

1) A signed quote by the solicitation closing date that a) states that the offeror is not taking exception to any solicitation term; b) includes unit prices and total prices for all CLINs stated above for which the Navy is soliciting.

2) A maximum of 3‐Page Technical Approach that clearly meets the requirements of the PWS.

Price will be evaluated for which the Government has requested the offeror to provide.

An award will only be made to an offeror that satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104‐1. The contracting officer may either make a responsibility determination without requesting any information from an offeror or require the offeror provide information to substantiate that it satisfies the general responsibility standards of FAR 9.104‐1. The particular information requested from an offeror will be specific to that offeror. For example, an offeror that the contracting officer is less familiar with may be required to provide information not required from another offeror. The contracting officer may consider an offeror’s inability to promptly respond to a request for information as an indication the offeror is non‐responsible since FAR 9.103(c) obligates prospective contractors to affirmatively demonstrate their responsibility.

When the contracting officer requests responsibility information, the contracting officer’s request, the offeror’s response, and all related communications between the Government and offeror are solely for the purpose of determining whether the offeror is responsible. These communications will not constitute discussions within the meaning of FAR 15.306 since the offeror will not be given an opportunity to revise its proposal.

Nothing in this provision limits the contracting officer’s discretion to rely on information available from other sources (e.g., past performance data bases, discussions with other entities familiar with the offeror) or to use any other technique described FAR 9.1 when determining whether the offeror satisfies the FAR 9.104‐1 general responsibility standards.

The offeror may be contacted and asked to provide additional information at a later time for the purposes of cost/price analysis.

Award will be made to the offeror who provides the lowest priced, technically acceptably proposal. 'Technically Acceptable' means the offeror has demonstrated they have/their personnel have the knowledge, expertise and experience to successfully perform their respective tasks in the PWS.

The Government reserves the right to clarify certain aspects of one or more of the proposals, without contacting all offerors, unless such communication is used to materially later the technical or cost elements and/or otherwise revise the proposal. Lowest priced, technically acceptable evaluation is conducted to determine the best overall value to the Government. As such, the evaluation will stop at the point when the Government determines an offeror to be acceptable with the lowest evaluated priced, because that offeror will represent the best value.

Contingent upon a determination of contractor responsibility, award will be made to that offeror without further evaluation of other offers. Award will be made to the responsible vendor whose proposal is the lowest evaluation price among acceptable proposals.

The Government will only consider firm fixed‐price quotations. Offeror must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award. The website address is https://www.sam.gov/. A Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number is required to register.
