The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the

Governments best interest to do so.

Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

L.6 ACQUISITION SOURCE SELECTION INTERACTIVE SUPPORT TOOL (ASSIST)

(1) The ASSIST Tool is the workflow tool that will be used during the Source Selection evaluation process.

(2) The Army may issue Evaluation Notices (ENs) for this procurement via ASSIST. If discussions are conducted with Offeror(s) in the competitive range, the Government intends to use ASSIST to conduct discussions. ASSIST will allow Offeror(s) to receive and respond to

ENs securely on-line. ENs may be in the form of weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, or deficiencies. Definitions are as follows:

(i) Deficiency: A deficiency is a material failure of the proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

(ii) Weakness: A weakness is a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

(iii) Significant Weakness: A significant weakness in the proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

(iv) Communications: Communications are exchanges between the Government and Offerors, after receipt of proposals, leading to establishment of the competitive range.

(v) Clarifications: Clarifications are limited exchanges between the Government and the Offerors that may occur when award without discussions in contemplated.

(vi) Uncertainty: Any aspect of a non-cost/price factor proposal for which the intent of the offer is unclear (e.g. more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the proposal indicating that there may have been an error, omission or mistake).

(3) A separate tool, the ASSIST2Industry, will be used in conjunction with ASSIST to accomplish all exchanges with Offerors after receipt of proposals pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.306. ASSIST2Industry provides the ability for the Government to issue, and the Offerors to receive and respond to, all Evaluation Notices (ENs) in a secure online environment.

In order to initiate the use of ASSIST2Industry, the Government requires the names, company titles, telephone numbers, and email addresses of two (2) individuals that the Offeror has designated as responsible for receiving and responding to Government ENs through

ASSIST2Industry. The designation of two (2) individuals is for the purpose of insuring availability of one individual if the other individual is not available. The required information regarding these two (2) individuals must be submitted with the Offeror's proposal and included in the cover letter.

(4) After the solicitations closing date, the Government will establish an account in ASSIST2Industry for each individual identified by the Offeror that has submitted a proposal in response to this solicitation. The two (2) individuals named by the Offeror will be authorized access to that account. Two (2) separate system generated emails will be sent to each individual. One of the emails will contain the individual's ASSIST2Industry username. The other email will contain the individual's temporary password. Using the provided username and temporary password, each individual can then go to https://ASSIST2Industry.army.mil to access the account. NOTE:

The first time a user logs in, the user will be required to change the temporary password before the user can proceed to use the site.

(5) Whenever the Government issues ENs to the Offeror through ASSIST2Industry, the Government's Contracting Officer will notify the

Offeror through a medium independent of ASSIST2Industry (e.g., e-mail) that the Offeror has ENs in ASSIST2Industry waiting for a response. There will be no ENs in ASSIST2Industry until such notice is issued by the Contracting Officer. Offerors can contact the

ASSIST2Industry helpdesk at (609) 562-7050 or (609) 562-7031 for any technical assistance that may be needed.

THE OFFERORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE SYSTEM GENERATED EMAILS REFERRED TO ABOVE ARE INTENDED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY. RECEIPT OF

THESE EMAILS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY TYPE OF EXCHANGE WITH THE OFFEROR IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 15.306(A), (B), OR (D)

(I.E., CLARIFICATIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, OR DISCUSSIONS). ALSO, RECEIPT OF THESE EMAILS DOES NOT SIGNIFY THAT A COMPETITIVE RANGE

DETERMINATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 15.306(C) HAS BEEN MADE OR THAT THE OFFEROR'S PROPOSAL WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE COMPETITIVE RANGE

IF/WHEN THAT DETERMINATION IS MADE. ALL NOTIFICATIONS THAT ANY TYPE OF EXCHANGE WITH THE OFFEROR HAS COMMENCED AND THE OFFEROR HAS

EVALUATION NOTICES (ENs) AVAILABLE TO RESPOND TO, OR ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THE OFFEROR'S PROPOSAL HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN OR EXCLUDED FROM

THE COMPETITIVE RANGE, WILL BE SENT TO THE OFFEROR BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER INDEPENDENTLY OF THE ASSIST2INDUSTRY.

(6) Evaluation Notice (EN) Response. Responses to ENs and any resulting proposal revisions must be provided in accordance with the following instructions:

A complete response must be provided within the EN response, including an explanation of any revisions to Offeror's proposal. Please do not simply provide a reference to revisions in the Offeror's proposal. If a response to an EN requires a revision to Offeror's proposal, identify a reference in your response(s) to the location (e.g., Volume #, Section #, paragraph #, etc.) of the revision in the

Offeror's proposal. NOTE: To be considered and evaluated as part of the Offeror's proposal, the changes should be made in the Offeror's

6 15

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

proposal submission and the Offeror must conform to the page format/limitation requirements.

Attach the complete resubmission file containing the proposal revisions for each volume as Attached Files with Offeror's reply in the last EN for the respective volume (i.e. one attached file per volume, same file structure as in initially submitted). Do not submit change pages or multiple copies of Offeror's revised proposal. Offerors are requested to limit changes to items identified in the EN.

For clarity purposes, Offerors are required to clearly identify the corresponding changes/additions in Offeror's proposal (e.g. use track changes to show date, vertical line in margin, bold, and/or underline by using the redline and strikeout features).

Each revision on each revised page shall be identified by date (DD/MM/YY) and by revision number, which shall be done by adding a footer to indicate such revision (i.e., date of submission of the revision) for each file affected. Offerors shall also place their names within the header or footer of each page along with the section number.

(7) After all ENs have been issued and responses submitted, and, when instructed by the Contracting Officer, Offerors shall submit Final

Proposal Revisions (FPRs) as specified in the Final Proposal Revision letter.

(8) The Government will upload the electronic version of the Offeror's proposal into the ASSIST tool. Members of the Source Selection

Team will use the version in the ASSIST tool to conduct their evaluations. The Government reserves the right to adjust the electronic version of an Offeror's proposal to conform to the guidelines listed throughout the Proposal Instructions in this section. Those pages that exceed the page count for any volume may be removed and not considered.

(9) Offeror(s) are required to provide two (2) company individuals whose responsibilities will include reading and responding to ENs through ASSIST. For example, the Offeror's Contract Manager, as an agent of the company might be the main agent responsible, but a second agent should be available in case of the main agent's unavailability. The two (2) agents' names, company titles, telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, and e-mail addresses should be provided. This required information is to be submitted with proposals and included in the cover letter for Authorized Offeror Representatives. In order to access ASSIST, these individuals will need an

Interactive Business Opportunities Page (IBOP) username and password. Once the company representatives are provided access to ASSIST, your company will be informed of the specific website where your agent(s) will receive and respond to the ENs. Offerors are cautioned that receipt of the website does NOT constitute official notice that a competitive range determination has been made and that a particular Offeror remains in the competitive range. The intent of this section is to advise Offeror(s) that they may be receiving EN questions on-line if they remain in the competitive range and the Government decides to conduct discussions.

L.7 PROPOSAL FILES

(1) Format. The submission shall be clearly indexed, logically assembled and comply with the instructions contained in this section.

Each volume shall be clearly identified and shall begin at the top of a page.
