Offerors may result in removal of the proposal from further evaluation.

2. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their capabilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

a. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, internet hyperlinks, or other embellishments are unnecessary and will not be accepted.

b. The offeror shall make a clear statement in Volume I cover page that the proposal is valid for a minimum of 365 days from the proposal due date.

(2) In accomplishing their duties related to the source selection process, the aforementioned firms may require access to proprietary information contained in the offerors' proposals.

To expedite the evaluation process, each offeror must contact the above companies to effect execution of such an agreement prior to the submission of proposals. Each offeror shall submit a copy of the agreement with their proposal.

If offerors object to the company listed as participating on the source selection team, the offeror must send their objection to the contracting office point of contact immediately. If the offeror believes that any type of conflict of interest exists the offeror will submit an Organization Conflict of Interest (OCI) letter to the contracting officer.

Early submission of the Past

Performance Questionnaires is encouraged. In order to expedite the assessment process, the offeror may complete Sections I and II of the Past Performance Questionnaire for the convenience of the Government customer POC. The offeror shall not, however, complete any other section of the Past Performance Questionnaire. Once the questionnaires are completed by the customer POCs, the information contained therein shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released to the offeror. Offerors are requested to provide a list

(including POCs name, title, email and phone number) of Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaires that the offeror distributed to their

Government customers.

34. Past Performance Consent Letters: The Offeror shall submit a consent letter in the format provided in Section J, Attachment 0005, __________________________________

Past Performance Consent Letter, of this solicitation for the Release of Past and Present Performance Information to the Prime

Contractor, executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of past performance information to the Contracting Officer so the Offeror can respond to such information.

35. Organizational Structure Change History: Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, _________________________________________ and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between the conclusion of recent efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this procurement. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganizations may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offerors, the "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other

sources.

36. Volume IV Cost: General Instructions- Cost/Reasonableness and Realism

Cost Factor Evaluation Approach: Each Offeror's proposal will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria in FAR 15.404-1.

Accordingly, the analytical techniques and procedures prescribed in FAR 15.404-1 for evaluating offerors proposals may be used individually or in combination with others to ensure that the final cost is fair, reasonable and realistic. The probable cost will be determined by adjusting (for purposes of evaluation only) each offeror's proposed cost , when appropriate, to any additions or reductions in cost elements to realistic levels based on the results of the cost realism analysis.

(a) The total evaluated price, to be used in the award determination (subject to most probable cost adjustment(s) resulting from the

Government's cost realism analysis), will be the total cost and fee identified in the offerors COST.xlsx file for the Task Order 0001 for the base and its options.

(b) The Government may use external sources of information in performing its cost evaluation to include, but not limited to, Bureau of

Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, Department of State, Defence Contract Audit Agency or Defense Contract Management Agency.
