1. Technical Approach and Justification:

The major portion of the proposal should consist of a clear description of the technical approach being proposed. This discussion should provide the technical foundation/justification for pursuing this particular approach/direction and why one could expect it to enable the objectives of the proposal to be met. This section should include the concise technical approach in its entirety.

Include for Basic Research, if it applies.

• Future Naval Relevance (where applicable): A description of potential Naval relevance and contributions of the effort to the agency’s specific mission.

For Applied Research and Advanced Technology Development, if it applies.

• Operational Naval Concept (where applicable): A description of the project objectives, the concept of operation for the new capabilities to be delivered, and the expected operational performance improvements.

• Operational Utility Assessment Plan (where applicable): A plan for demonstrating and evaluating the operational effectiveness of the Offeror’s proposed products or processes in field experiments and/or tests in a simulated environment.

2. Statement of Work: The Statement of Work (SOW) should clearly detail the scope and objectives of the effort. If options are included, separate sections should be included to address what work will occur in the base and each option.

It is anticipated that the proposed SOW will be incorporated as an attachment to the resultant award instrument. The SOW without restrictive markings is your company’s affirmation that the SOW is non-proprietary and releasable in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

At a minimum, the format and content of the Statement of Work should contain the following information.

This section shall also include any previous research or accomplishments that form the basis or the beginning point of the work effort to be performed under the statement of work.

2.0 Scope/Objective. This section should describe, in general terms, the work effort that will be performed by the contractor.

3.0 Requirements. This section should describe each task(s) the contractor must perform.

In addition, all task(s) should be listed in chronological order. The task(s) should be explained in clear and understandable terms. Include any industry specific standards that need to be adhered to in fulfilling the SOW.

NOTE: Numbering of tasks 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc.
