SECTION L

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OFFERORS

1. GENERAL:

a. Instructions:

1. Offerors shall submit their proposals in accordance with (IAW) 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 (KO), and contract specialist 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. If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the KO in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the KO to consider as related to the omission or error.

4. 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.

5. ALL INQUIRIES shall be made via email and directed to Brian Fergus, contract specialist, and Chris

Campbell, contracting officer, at brian.fergus@navy.mil and chris.campbell@navy.mil.

Furthermore, offerors should note that the proposal due date will not be extended solely on the basis of questions received. RFCs shall reference the solicitation and specification page and paragraph number and be submitted on a Request For Clarification (RFC) form (Attachment J-3) provided with this solicitation. Questions shall be submitted on separate RFC forms (Attachment J-3).

6. Subcontract Information: In requesting proposals from prospective subcontractors, offerors should provide all necessary information for the contemplated purchase. The Government will not advise prospective subcontractors as to the requirements of their transactions with offerors, nor will the Government respond to direct inquiries from prospective subcontractors concerning clarifications of specification or solicitation requirements. ALL SUCH REQUESTS FOR CLARIFICATION MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE

GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE PRIME CONTRACTOR (OFFEROR).
