SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1

1. GENERAL:

Offerors are not required to submit their proposal in accordance with Provision 52.212-1 Instructions To Offerors; rather offerors are required to submit their proposals in accordance with this ADDENDUM TO

PROVISION 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS.

A. Instructions:

1. Offerors shall submit their proposals 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 (KO) 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. Representation and Certifications per FAR Clauses 52.212-3. If your information is already in the System for Award Management at SAM – https://www.sam.gov, the offeror is not required to submit their completed Representations and Certifications.

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 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.

5. Relationship between Instructions and Evaluation: Your attention is directed to the functional relationship between the ADDENDUM TO Provision 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS and EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD of this solicitation. The ADDENDUM TO Provision 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS provides information for the purpose of organizing the proposal and is not intended to be all inclusive. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD describes the evaluation factors for award. Since the Government evaluation of proposals will cover areas identified in EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD, proposals should address all such areas of evaluation.

6. ALL INQUIRIES shall be made via email and directed to Chris Davidson, Contract Specialist, and Loren

Frei, Contracting Officer, at Christopher.t.davids@navy.mil and 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 8 March 2022 at 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST). The government reserves the right to not answer any questions received after 24 February 2022 at 10:00 AM PST. 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 form (Attachment

J-2) provided with this solicitation. A request for clarification form (Attachment J-2) shall be submitted for each separate question.

B. Proposal Submission Instructions:

1. Time of Submission: Proposals are DUE NOT LATER THAN 10:00 AM PST, 14 March 2022. Late proposals will not be considered.

SAFE.

3. Electronic Delivery of Proposals: Proposals are DUE NOT LATER THAN 10:00 AM PST, 14 March 2022. Late proposals will not be considered. The timeliness of proposals will be determined in accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.215-1(c)(3)(ii)(A).

Electronic files not uploaded to DoD SAFE prior to the closing deadline will not be considered as part of the proposal. If any portion of the uploaded proposal is unreadable or contains corrupted files, re-submission of such portions shall be handled IAW FAR 15.207(c). IAW FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i), it is highly recommended that offerors upload their proposal to DoD SAFE at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the solicitation deadline as well as read and become familiar with the about DoD SAFE located at https://safe.apps.mil/about.php.

Proposals submitted via the DoD SAFE tool may be downloaded upon receipt by the Government but will not be opened for evaluation until the solicitation closes. Interested offerors should take into consideration the time that the file upload and electronic transmission process may take, to ensure timely proposal submission.

Offerors that experience technical difficulties accessing or using the DoD SAFE tool should immediately contact DoD SAFE Support at disa.gsd.apps@mail.mil via email, to seek resolution. Offerors are also requested to notify the Government POCs listed on the solicitation notice of any DoD SAFE issues preventing proposal submission.
