This requirement is being solicited under the authority of 38 U.S.C § 8153 and FAR Part 12 in conjunction with the policies and procedures for solicitation, evaluation and award prescribed in Part 15. This section provides guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instruction on the format and content of the proposal. The Offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested in this solicitation and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Failure to provide proposals in compliance with the instructions specified in this RFP may render the Offeror’s proposal non-compliant and that proposal may not be further evaluated for an award. Within this solicitation “must” means “shall” and “proposal” is equivalent to “offer”.

3) RFP Section E.2.1.5 is deleted and replaced with:

Offerors shall submit a complete individual proposal including separately submitted subcontractor proposals, if applicable, for each region for which they are proposing. The Offeror bears the responsibility to ensure it and its proposed subcontractors, if submitting separately, timely submit a complete proposal to VA identifying the prime Offeror associated with the subcontractor’s proposal. Incomplete proposals may be rejected. Offerors may submit a proposal for one or more regions. However, the proposal must cover the entire region and shall not provide only partial coverage of a region.

Failure to provide proposals in compliance with the instructions specified in Section E of this RFP may render the Offeror's proposal non-compliant. The proposal may not be evaluated and may not be further considered for award. An authorized official of the firm shall complete and/or sign Blocks 12, 17, & 30a – c of the Standard Form (SF) 1449. The authorized official shall also EITHER sign all amendments (SF30) or complete the Amendment acknowledgement block in Section B.1.

5) RFP Section E.2.4.1 is deleted and replaced with:

Each Offeror shall submit ONLY one proposal per region and that proposal shall address all of the requirements of the RFP.

This narrative is limited to 5 pages. The Government may consider a narrative that demonstrates the extent to which an offeror’s joint venture partner(s) or an offeror’s affiliate(s) / parent organization(s) attained applicable goals for small business participation under Federal contracts that required subcontracting plans for fiscal year 2014, 2015 and 2016 if the narrative provided shows that the workforce, management facilities or other resources of the JV partner(s), affiliate(s) / parent organization(s) will bear on the likelihood of successful performance by the offeror.

18) RFP Section E.5.8 is deleted and replaced with:

Factor 2 - Past Performance. For this factor, the Offeror will be evaluated on its performance on relevant and recent contracts as defined in E.2.9. The Government will evaluate information received including resolution of quality, schedule and other issues, business relations and customer satisfaction, and satisfaction with overall contract performance. The Government will evaluate the extent to which the offeror, offeror’s joint venture partner(s) or an offeror’s affiliate(s) / parent organization(s) attained applicable goals for small business participation for fiscal year 2014, 2015 and 2016. In addition to the Past Performance Questionnaires received, the Government may also use any relevant information in its possession or in the public domain, including, but not limited to information available in the Government databases, and the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). If the Offeror has no relevant and recent past performance, this factor will receive a rating that is neither favorable nor unfavorable.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
