SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

SECTION L

1. GENERAL:

a. Instructions:

1. Offerors shall submit their proposal in accordance with the following preparation instructions. The Government will consider any failure on the part of an offeror to comply with these instructions to be an indication of the quality of performance it can expect during contract performance. Therefore, the Government encourages offerors to contact the Contracting Officer in writing in order to request an explanation of any aspect of these instructions.

2. A proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements but rather provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror meets these requirements. Offerors shall 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 proposal.

3. The overall security classification of the proposal shall be UNCLASSIFIED. If the offeror needs to provide classified material, it shall be separated from the unclassified material and submitted as a supplement to the appropriate volume, and handled in accordance with appropriate security procedures. Any classified supplement will be considered a part of the stated page limitations of the appropriate volume. NO classified material is expected for this solicitation. Please contact the Contract Specialist administering this RFP, before any classified material is submitted.

4. If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the Contracting Officer to consider as related to the omission or error.

5. Relationship between Instructions and Evaluation: Your attention is directed to the functional relationship between Sections L and M of this solicitation. Section L provides information for the purpose of organizing the proposal and is not intended to be all inclusive. Section M describes evaluation factors for award. Since the Government evaluation of proposals will cover areas identified in Section M, proposals should address all such areas of evaluation.

6. ALL INQUIRIES shall be made via email and directed to Andrew Skelley at andrew.skelley@navy.mil and James Walker at james.m.walker11@navy.mil to ensure the Government is able to adequately address and respond to offeror requests for clarification (RFCs) via amendment if applicable, it is requested questions be submitted no later than 15 NOVEMBER 2018 at 2:00 PM (PDT).

The Government reserves the right to not answer any requests received after 15 NOVEMBER 2018 at 2:00 PM (PDT). Furthermore, offerors should note that the proposal due date will not be extended solely on the basis of requests received. RFCs shall reference the solicitation and specification page and paragraph number and be submitted on a request for clarification form (Attachment J-3) provided with this solicitation. A request for clarification form Attachment J-3 shall be submitted for each question.

b. Proposal Submission Instructions:

1. Time of Submission: Proposals are DUE NOT LATER THAN 2:00 PM (PDT), 04 DECEMBER 2018.

Proposals submitted after the established due date and time will not be considered in accordance with FAR 15.208(b)(1).

2. Method of Delivery: The offerors must submit hard copy, paper proposals for Government evaluation.

Email proposals will not be accepted. Only paper copies of the specified volumes will be considered “responsive.” The solicitation response shall be contained in three (3) separate volumes. For each volume, the number of copies required and page limit are shown in the table below. To maximize efficiency and minimize the time for proposal evaluation, it is required that all offerors submit their proposals in accordance with the format and content specified below and with the specified page/time limit constraints.

Failure to provide the requested information may adversely affect the government’s evaluation of the offeror.
