SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INST., COND. & NOTICES

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. Each Offeror may submit only one proposal. No alternate proposals will be accepted and submission of multiple proposals will result in disqualification of any Offeror submitting multiple proposals. The Offeror’s proposal submission should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

3. 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.

4. The Government may contact any, all, or a limited number of Offerors with questions concerning their proposals as permitted under FAR Part 15.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. ALL INQUIRIES shall be made via email and directed to Alex Stutzman at alexander.stutzman@navy.mil, and Loren Frei at loren.frei@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 21 APRIL 2021 at 12:00 PM (PT). The Government reserves the right to not answer any requests received after 21 APRIL 2021 at 12:00 PM (PT). 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-7) provided with this solicitation. A request for clarification form (Attachment J-7) shall be submitted for each question.

9. “Pricing information,” is defined as facts, statistics, or data describing the consideration an offeror will receive in exchange for furnishing the supplies and services described in this solicitation. Pricing information may only be included within Volume III: Legal/Price Offer. Inclusion of pricing information within any other Volume will likely result in rejection of the Offeror’s proposal, as well as the Offeror being determined ineligible for award. If doubt exists as to what constitutes pricing information, Offeror’s are strongly encouraged to submit a request for clarification in accordance with paragraph 6 of this section.

10. Offerors are reminded past performance information is proprietary source selection information. The

Government will only discuss past performance information directly with the prospective prime or sub-contractor that is being reviewed. If there is a problem with a proposed subcontractor’s past performance the prime may be notified of a problem, but no details will be discussed without the subcontractor’s permission.

11. Each Offeror must submit all information required by this solicitation. The Offeror’s proposal shall be based on the requirements contained in this solicitation (including those documents, exhibits, and other attachments to the solicitation identified in Section J). Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation and/or failure to provide all of the requested information may result in the Offeror’s proposal being rejected and may result in the Offeror being determined ineligible for award.

12. The solicitation will be announced through the Government wide point of entry (GPE) at:

https://beta.sam.gov. The Government may post additional information to the GPE relating to this solicitation (e.g. a solicitation amendment responding to submitted Offeror requests for clarification). It is the Offeror’s responsibility to check the GPE for any such information.

b. Proposal Submission Instructions:

1) Electronic Delivery of Proposals: Delivery submissions shall only accepted electronically. Offerors must submit electronic copy of their proposal in accordance with Table 1 below. Proposals shall be submitted via DoD SAFE.

In order to help ensure non-disclosure, the title page of the cost proposal and other sheets of proposal data should be marked with a restrictive legend stating that the price information is proprietary.
