(a) The Government intends to award a single stand-alone, “C-Type” contract with the potential of Cost and/or Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) CLINs.

(b) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government’s best interest.

(c) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract upon initial submissions without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with Offerors if it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the Government's best interest.

(j) The Government may post additional information relating to this Solicitation to the GPE (e.g., a Solicitation amendment, responding to submitted Offeror questions). It is the Offeror’s responsibility to check the GPE for any such information.

(k) All notional dates included within this Solicitation (e.g., 12 months after contract award) will be changed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to actual calendar dates (e.g., 5 February 2022) at contract award.

(l) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the Offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(m) Exchanges with Offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

(n) A cost realism analysis will be performed, and will be considered in evaluating performance or schedule risk. However, the cost realism analysis may be limited to only those proposals that stand a reasonable chance of award.

L.3 CONDITIONS, INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF OFFERS, & NOTICES DEFINITIONS
