SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1. GENERAL:

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. 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.

Amendment 0003

5. ALL INQUIRIES shall be made via email and directed to Brittany Chartier, Contract Specialist, and Chris

Campbell, Contracting Officer, at Brittany.chartier@navy.mil and chris.campbell@navy.mil. To ensure the

AM 14 December at 3:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST). The government reserves the right to not answer any questions received after 09 December 2021 at 10:00 AM PST 14 December at 3:00 PM PST.
