Resumes of principal staff expected to be directly involved with the contract (educational background, recent experience, specific or technical accomplishments, and relevant publications) must not exceed two (2) pages in length and are not counted in the page limit.

Past performance information shall include a list of the last three (3) contracts completed during the past three (3) years and the last three (3) contracts awarded currently in process that are similar in nature to the RFP’s work scope. Contracts listed may include those entered into by the

As necessary, the contractor may provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the contractor’s corrective actions.

These elements will include, as applicable, direct labor, fringe benefits, travel, materials, subcontracts, G&A, indirect costs and rate, fee, and profit. The contractor will provide a narrative explanation of the proposed positions, labor rate and hours, and indicate if their overhead rates have been reviewed/ approved by a Government Agency and their audit branch.
