Contracting Officer identified. Contacting any other Government personnel other than the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer identified may result in an organizational conflict of interest (OCI) and may result in an offeror being excluded from competition and award.

The offeror shall disclose any potential OCI situations with itself, subcontractors, partners or any other offeror as it applies to this solicitation for the Troposcatter Transmission System (TROPO) contract award to the Contracting Officer as soon as the OCI is identified; including if identified prior to proposal submission, or the offeror shall submit an affirmation statement in its proposal that they are not aware of any OCI. The disclosure shall include the facts and an analysis of the actual or perceived conflict and recommend an approach to neutralize, mitigate, or avoid the potential conflict. The Contracting Officer will determine if resolution is necessary and promptly respond to resolve any potential conflicts, which may include notifying an offeror of their exclusion from the competition. If an offeror fails to submit either a disclosure of potential OCI situations or an affirmative statement that the offeror is not aware of any OCI, the offeror may not be considered for award.

The offeror is solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the preparation and submission of any proposal in response to this solicitation (bid and proposal costs), including any and all incurred costs associated with offerors participation in verification and/or demonstration activities. Offerors are advised that the Government will not reimburse any offeror for bid, proposal, or demonstration related costs, as a contract line item, associated with responding to this solicitation or participating in verification and/or demonstration-related activities.

Each offerors entire proposal shall remain valid for a minimum of 365 days from the date of proposal receipt by the Government, and the offeror shall insert "365" in Block 12 of the Standard Form 33. If an offeror states in their proposal that the proposal is valid for any period less than 365 days, the proposal may not be considered for award.

Offerors shall not submit any assumptions, terms, conditions, caveats, or exceptions with proposals. All concerns shall be addressed by submitting questions by the date specified in this solicitation. If an offeror includes any assumptions, terms, conditions, caveats, or exceptions with proposals, the proposal may not be considered for award. The only exception to this requirement is as follows: If an offeror certifies for an exemption to the requirement for a disclosure statement in accordance with FAR 52.230-1

(Section K of this solicitation), the offeror shall state so in the Cost Narrative.

The e-mail proposal submittal and AMRDEC proposal submittal shall consist of separate files as set forth and named below. Microsoft

Office 2007 software or higher shall be used to create the required files. Offerors may encrypt and/or password protect proprietary information as they see fit. However, if the Government is unable to access the documents, the proposal may not be considered for award. Proposals shall not contain any classified data or information. Cost/price information shall only be included in Volume 2 __________________________________________________________ unless specifically directed otherwise._______________________________________

Volume 1 - Technical

Verification of Proposed System Performance

(a) Offerors are instructed that the Government will verify specific system performance proposed by the Offerors. Verification shall take the form of the System Verification Demonstration (SVD), Attachment 0006 of the solicitation. Proposed Offeror systems will be evaluated at a Government range to objectively verify:

(1) Offeror proposed threshold performance capabilities of: Throughput, Distance, Set-up Time, Antenna Self-Alignment, and

Transport.

(2) Offeror proposed above threshold performance capabilities of: Throughput and Set-up Time.

(b) Offerors must participate in the SVD to be considered for award.

Specific supporting data necessary to facilitate the SVD is identified in the SVD Addendum, Attachment 0006 of the solicitation as are roles and responsibilities for the Offerors and the Government. Offeror information submitted as directed by the SVD

Addendum, Attachment 0006 of the solicitation, shall be submitted via e-mail concurrent with the Offerors proposal submittal.

Offerors shall provide responses to the SVD Addendum in XX-VOL1-TECH_PERFORMANCE_DATA_MMDDYYYY.

Participation in the SVD requires the Offeror to submit the DD 1494 to the Contracting Officer within 7 days of RFP release in order to allow the Government to determine the ability of the Offeror candidate TROPO system to participate in the SVD.

Compliance with the Complete Requirement.

(a) The Offeror shall meet all requirements set forth in: Performance Work Statement (PWS) Section 3.0; and PWS Appendix A, System Performance Specifications (SPS), in its entirety.

(b) The Offeror shall submit a Compliance Matrix (Matrix) with applicable supporting performance data, information, test results, and directly relevant supporting narrative. Offerors shall provide the compliance matrix in XX-VOL1-

TECH_COMPLIANCE_MATRIX_MMDDYYY.docx or .pdf.

(1) The Matrix will address each paragraph of the entire PWS and the entire SPS.

(2) Each PWS/SPS paragraph addressed in the Matrix shall be cross-referenced to the Offeror's proposal including any and all supporting information and test data.

The words for each paragraph contained in the PWS need not be repeated in the compliance matrix, only the reference number. Upon acceptance by the Government, all proposed documents, including supporting information and test data, will become part of the contract.

Offerors shall provide any additional information required to support a vendor's claim regarding technical items in the PWS, SPS, and shall consist of applicable supporting performance data, information, test results, and directied relevant supporting narrative in XX-

VOL1-TECH_PERFORMANCE SUPPORT INFO_MMDDYYY.

The Matrix shall contain a definitive Offeror response for each PWS/SPS paragraph in the form of yes or no. A "yes" response to a paragraph number shall mean that the Offeror has read and understood the paragraph and can meet the requirements identified and is supported by the Offeror's narrative discussion and/or submitted plans. A "no" response for a threshold requirement will result in an unacceptable rating. Failure to provide a response will also result in an unacceptable rating. Stipulations, caveats and/or terms and conditions associated with a "yes" response for any compliance matrix response will result in an unacceptable rating. The Offeror must provide supporting test data to support all proposed performance capabilities.

Volume 2 Cost/Price

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

The Cost Volume shall include the information, detailed in the subparagraphs below, as it applies to the configuration as described in Appendix A of the PWS. Offerors shall follow the instructions in Section J, Attachment 0009, Pricing Spreadsheet and

Instructions. The Pricing Spreadsheet and Instructions, Attachment 0009 may be used to price CLINs in lieu of entering prices in

Section B. Offerors may add a row in the Pricing Spreadsheet and Instructions, Attachment 0009 under the "Other FFP" tab for any item the Offeror feels is not referenced and provided for in the CLINs in Section B.

1. Each offeror and its subcontractor(s) shall provide whatever information is necessary to help the Government understand why the proposed costs are realistic in the COST_MMDDYYYY.docx (or PDF). Each offeror's cost proposal shall contain sufficient quantitative and narrative documentation to adequately support and explain the costs proposed, to include subcontractor proposed costs.
