SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

For purposes of evaluation, the term Offeror is defined as the prime contractor. Proposal shall be submitted in accordance with this section. Offeror should thoroughly review Sections L and M prior to submitting a proposal. The following factors will be used to make the award determination of the LPTA proposal: Technical and Price.

A. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

1. Offeror shall submit its proposal electronically through a file download link provided by Mark Stevens, Contract Specialist. Offeror shall contact Mark Stevens via e-mail at mark.d.stevens.civ@army.mil at least three business days prior to proposal submission to obtain the file download link. Please use "Request for Shotshell Proposal Link" in the subject line of the e-mail request. Proposals shall be transmitted to the Government through the Department of Defense (DoD) SAFE (Secure Access File Exchange) website.

2. A complete proposal shall include the following: Table of contents and separate volumes as indicated below:

Volume 1 - Technical Factor

Subfactor 1 - Design Verification Testing (DVT)

Subfactor 2 - Manufacturing Plan

Subfactor 3 - Quality System

Volume 2 - Price Factor

Volume 3 - Solicitation, Offer and Award Documents and Certifications/ Representations

3. Offeror shall submit its proposal in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) with the exception of the price matrix. Scanned PDF documents must be legible and shall have the ability to be viewed in Adobe Acrobat. The Offeror shall not lock or password protect any file. All files shall be virus-scanned, searchable, reproducible, accessible, and printable. Bookmarks must be utilized to easily locate sections of the proposal.

4. All volumes are due 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.

5. Each volume shall contain a table of contents and a matrix cross-referencing the proposal and the solicitation to allow the

Government to ascertain that all required sections of the proposal are fully addressed. Each volume stands on its own for evaluation purposes and must include all information necessary for evaluation (e.g., if it is to be evaluated in response to a Section L, Volume 1 requirement, the information must be included in the Offeror's Volume 1 proposal for it to be considered). 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. The Government will not consider information located in other sections or other volumes of the proposal in its evaluation of an individual factor or subfactor.

6. Pages shall be 8.5 inches x 11 inches; however, graphs, charts, tables and diagrams may use oversized paper of 8.5 inches x 14 inches or 11 inches x 17 inches. Any other page sizes are not permitted. Text size shall be no less than 12 point font; however, graphs, charts, tables, and diagrams may use text size no less than 8 point font. All pages shall be numbered, contain at least a one inch margin, and utilize Times New Roman font for paragraphs of text and either Times New Roman or Arial, except for Arial Narrow, for paragraph headings, graphs, charts, tables, spreadsheets, and diagrams. Pages printed on both sides, to include 8.5 x 14 and 11 x 17 will be counted as two pages.

7. Page Limitations: The Government will not read or evaluate pages exceeding the below prescribed page limitations. Excess pages will be removed from the proposals. Page limitations do not include table of contents, cross reference matrices, list of figures, list of acronyms, section bookmarks/dividers, or indices. 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.

a. Volume 1, Technical Factor, shall not exceed 100 pages and is limited to 20 oversized pages. Process Flow Diagrams are excluded from the page limitation. Government referenced documents shall denote document name and applicable page number(s).

b. Volume 2, Price Factor, does not contain a page limitation.

8. Offeror is expected to provide sufficient detail in a clear and concise manner to completely and logically address each evaluation factor. 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. The proposal shall not merely reiterate the contractual specifications, but rather shall provide convincing documentary evidence of how contract requirements will be met.

9. The Government presumes the Offeror's proposal represents its best effort to respond to the solicitation. Submission shall

therefore be thorough and complete.
