The Offeror's proposal, subject to the Submission, Modification, Revision and Withdrawal paragraph of FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to

Offerors - Commercial Items, contained in Section L of the solicitation, shall be submitted in the format and quantities as set forth in this solicitation. Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award, of the solicitation sets forth the evaluation criteria and delineates the factors to be evaluated. The Offeror's proposal, as required by this section, will be evaluated as set forth in Section M of this solicitation. The Government will not assume the Offeror possesses any capability, understanding, or commitment not specified in its proposal. It is an Offeror's responsibility to submit a well-written proposal with adequately detailed information which clearly demonstrates an understanding of and the ability to comply with the solicitation requirements to allow for a meaningful review.

L.1.1 Proposal Format: The Offeror shall submit an electronic version of its proposal via the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website at https://www.fbo.gov.

The FBO system will not allow proposal submission beyond the solicitation closing date indicated in the solicitation.

L.1.3.3 Due to the expedited evaluation schedule, it is critical that all Offerors carefully and completely identify the parts and attachments of the proposal so that the Government may quickly and easily distribute the proposal volumes.

The FBO Vendor Guide referenced in Clause 52.204-4016 provides FBO system information.

The disclosure shall include the facts and an analysis of the actual or perceived conflict and recommend an approach(es) to neutralize or mitigate the potential conflict.

L.2.2.4 Small Business Subcontracting Plan

L.2.2.4.1 Offerors shall submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 if the offeror is an Other-Than-

L.2.3 Offeror shall include a statement that it accepts or rejects the financing terms incorporated by Amendment 0007 to Solicitation

W56HZV-15-R-0225. Contract financing is not a factor in the evaluation of resulting proposals. Alternative financing terms are not acceptable, and if proposed will only be considered a rejection of the financing terms incorporated by Amendment 0007. If the terms are neither accepted nor rejected, the Government will consider the terms rejected and the terms will not be incorporated into any resulting contract. Lack of acceptance or rejection of the financing terms does not make an offeror nonresponsive.
