3. The Offeror must furnish adequate and specific information in its proposal response. Offerors are cautioned that “parroting” of the Technical requirements of the PWS with a statement of intent to perform does not reflect an understanding of the requirement or capability to perform. Further, statements that an Offeror understands or acknowledges the importance of PWS requirements (or similar statements) do not demonstrate an adequate technical approach for meeting the requirements of the PWS. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.

4. Offerors are advised that technical data submitted to the Government in response to this solicitation may be released to non-Government personnel for routine/administrative contracting functions. It is anticipated that the non- Government support will be provided by the following:

• Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation, 5030 Bradford Blvd. NW, #205, Huntsville, AL 35805 and Phone Number 256-922-9300 http://www.fedbizopps.gov/

A non-disclosure agreement has been signed by these companies, and their employees, which precludes any unauthorized disclosure, reproduction or release in any format of the technical and cost/price data submitted in response to this solicitation to other Government employees, non-Government personnel or any other sources.

Offerors are advised that employees of KBR Wyle-CAS Group and Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation may serve as non-government advisors in the source selection process. These contractor employees will not participate as voting members of the Source Selection Evaluation Board. These individuals will be authorized access only to those portions of the proposal data and discussions that are necessary to enable them to perform their respective duties. Such firms are expressly prohibited from competing on the subject acquisition. In accomplishing their duties related to the source selection process, employees of KBR Wyle-CAS Group, Inc. and Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation may require access to proprietary information contained in the offerors' proposals.

At the discretion of the offeror, the offeror may execute, in accordance with FAR 9.505- 4, a Non-disclosure agreement with each company listed above that states that the company will (1) protect the offeror’s information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary and (2) refrain from using the information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished. To expedite the evaluation process, each offeror desiring an additional non-disclosure must contact the above companies to effect execution of such an agreement. Offerors that choose to obtain these additional contract specific non-disclosure agreements shall provide copies no later than the proposal due date specified in the RFP. Offerors that determine that no additional contract specific non-disclosure agreements are required shall acknowledge the RFP by signature in block 15A and shall include the following language with its acknowledgment email:

“I have determined that existing Government non-disclosure agreements with KBR Wyle-CAS Group, Inc. and Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation provides sufficient protection to prevent disclosure of proprietary information contained in my proposal for Solicitation W31P4Q-17-R-0122 and that an agreement per FAR 9.505-4 is unnecessary.”

However, if the Offeror substantiates higher wage rates and justifies different escalation factors, those wage/escalation factors will be utilized. Direct labor rates shall identify the baseline (takeoff point) plus projected escalation for each basic and option period, and the methodology for computing composite labor rates shall be shown. For example: 3 months of FY18 + 9 months of FY19 divided by 12 = the average labor rates for the contractual period of performance. The Offeror and each subcontractor shall clearly state their fiscal year. Offerors are advised that projected escalation must be applied to both exempt and non-exempt labor categories.

(5) Direct labor hours and rates shall be delineated by labor category by contract year for the offeror and each subcontractor.
