Offerors are also required to provide all required information for each subfactor independently. When rating a subfactor, the Government will only evaluate the information provided in the section of the proposal addressing that particular subfactor. When rating a factor that does not have subfactors, the Government will only evaluate the information provided in that volume, unless specifically noted otherwise within that evaluation factor. The Government will not supplement the information found in one subfactor or volume with information found in another as part of its evaluation of the proposed approach; however, any inconsistencies found in the proposed approach under one volume or subsection which call into question the veracity, credibility, or reliability of statements made in other sections or volumes may be taken into consideration.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

7. Page Limitations: The Government will not read nor evaluate pages exceeding the below prescribed page limitations. The Offeror shall only include page numbers on those pages it intends to be evaluated. Excess pages will be removed from the proposals. Page limitations do not include table of contents, cross reference matrices, list of figures, lists of acronyms, section bookmarks/dividers, or indices.

Cover letters, proposal introductions, and executive summaries will be included in the overall page count. No material may be incorporated in the proposal by reference, attachment, appendix, videotape, audiotape, or other electronic media as a means to circumvent the page limitation. No electronic video or audio material will be reviewed or considered in the evaluation. Files shall not contain classified data. The use of hyperlinks in proposals is prohibited.

Offerors shall clearly identify which pages are to be evaluated by including a page number. For pages included against the page limitations, Offerors shall put only the page number (i.e., 1, 2, 3, etc.) for each volumes submission. For pages to be evaluated, but are excluded from the page limitations, as identified below, Offerors shall separately number each submission with a unique identifier to clearly indicate the submission (i.e., FMEA 1, FMEA 2, etc.; or IMS 1, IMS 2, etc.; or LOC 1, LOC 2, etc.).

a. Volume 1, Production, shall not exceed 175 pages, inclusive of a limit of 40 oversized pages. The Integrated Master Schedule

(IMS), Failure Mode Effect Analyses (FMEA) and letters of commitment are excluded from the page count limit. Any narratives, analyses, detailed descriptions, explanations, or calculations supporting the IMS and FMEA are NOT excluded from the page count limit. For a teaming approach, signed copies of proposed letters of commitment or teaming agreements are also excluded from the page count limit.

b. Volume 2, Operations, shall not exceed 125 pages, inclusive of a limit of 30 oversized pages. For a teaming approach, signed copies of proposed letters of commitment or teaming agreements are also excluded from the page count limit.

c. Volume 3, Past Performance, Relevant Delivery and Quality Performance Narratives have a seven (7) page maximum for each reference. Adverse Contract Performance narratives have no page limitations.

d. Price, Indemnification Request, and Executed Solicitation volumes (Volumes 4, 6, and 7 respectively) do not contain a page limitation.

e. Volume 5, Small Business Participation, shall not exceed 10 pages; Standard Form (SF) 294, "Subcontracting Report for Individual

Contracts", Individual Subcontracting Report (ISR), or Summary Subcontract Reports (SSRs) from the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting

System (eSRS), and commercial plans associated with the SSRs are excluded from the page count limit.

8. The Government presumes the Offerors proposal represents its best effort to respond to the solicitation. The Offerors submission shall therefore be thorough and complete. The Offeror is expected to provide sufficient detail in a clear and concise manner to completely and logically address each evaluation factor and subfactor. The Government does not desire excess verbiage, unnecessary and elaborate brochures, lengthy, repetitious, disorganized presentations, or any information beyond that sufficient to present and complete an effective offer. Deficiencies, whether informational or technical, may be cause for elimination from the competitive range and/or rejection of an offer. Unsupported promises to comply with the contractual requirements are not sufficient. Proposal shall not merely reiterate the contractual specifications, but rather shall provide convincing documentary evidence of how contract requirements will be met.

9. The successful proposal may be incorporated into the resultant contract in whole or in part.

10. Offeror is responsible for submitting the virus-scanned DVD of its proposal to the designated location by the date and time specified in Block 9 of the SF33. Failure to do so will result in the proposal being considered late and treated in accordance with FAR

15.208.
