PART B SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

Pricing information shall only appear in the Price volume and Annex B.

1.0 VOLUME 1 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION

Note: This volume shall not contain any reference to price aspects of the offer.

The following is a list of Section L Attachments that the Offeror shall use to provide information for this volume:

Attachment L-1 Executive Summary Tables (ES-1 (Offeror Summary), ES-2 (Relevant Contract Summary for Past Performance), and ES-3 (Business System Status)).

The purpose of the Executive Summary is to provide the Government with an overview of the Offeror’s entire proposal, excluding price. The Executive Summary and Contract Administration volume should be divided into the sections outlined below:

a. Offeror Summary Table

(1) The Offeror shall complete Table ES-1 (Offeror Summary), provided in Attachment L-1 (Executive Summary Tables), according to the instructions within the attachment, and submit it within this section and as a separate electronic file. This table summarizes the Offeror and its entities’ proposed type and level of work, indicating a commitment to that effort during contract performance. Offerors are advised that in order to demonstrate work commitment, each entity identified in Table ES-1 (Offeror Summary) must be identified in Volume 4 Price and associated with a dollar value commensurate with the Percent of Total Proposed Price identified in Table ES-1 (Offeror Summary). Therefore, this table must be a reflection of what is proposed in Volume 4 Price.

(2) For the Past Performance evaluations, contract references that relate to a different CAGE code/DUNS than the proposed entity will be considered if the CAGE code/DUNS was created as a result of a offeror corporate acquisition, reorganization, merger, or other administrative reason and refer to the same division in the same physical location for where the work is being performed or from where the work is being directed In Accordance With (IAW) the proposed roles and responsibilities. All current CAGE Codes/DUNS must appear in Table ES-1 (Offeror Summary) which indicates a commitment of work for those entities. To facilitate the Relevancy determination for Past Performance, the Offeror shall provide a written explanation if multiple CAGE codes/DUNS for the same physical location are applicable to one entity. The written explanation shall detail the distinct roles and responsibilities for entities with different CAGE codes/DUNS at the same physical location for where the work is being performed or from where the work is being directed. The description shall include all changes in the organization as a result of a corporate acquisition, reorganization, merger, or other administrative reason and explain how the changes impact the relevance of any contract references provided.

Note: “Place of Performance” for this solicitation pertains to the physical location of the prime or other entities that are deploying personnel or responsible for the work, not the Government site where the work is being performed. If work is being performed at a contractor site, then that would also pertain to Place of Performance.

(3) Additionally, if applicable, the Offeror shall provide a description of the legal relationship between JV entities.
