2. Section I:

52.217-9 OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (MAR 2000) has changed in part FROM: “(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 6 months.” TO: “(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 66 months.”

3. Section L:

a. 1. L.2.2.1 Has been changed FROM: “Each volume listed above shall be submitted on a separate set of CD-ROMs or DVDs. The offeror shall submit two identical sets of CD-ROMs or DVDs for each volume. One set of media shall be labeled as the primary copy and signed by a representative of the company authorized to submit proposals. In the case of defective file(s) on the primary disc, the second copy will be utilized only to retrieve and review the defective file(s) in question. If the primary disc is entirely defective, the second copy will be used entirely. All other data on the primary disc will take precedence.” TO: “Offerors are required to submit proposals electronically, via DoD Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE), which can be accessed at https://safe.apps.mil/. When submitting a proposal to DoD SAFE, Offerors need to request a Drop-Off code from Jennifer Harris, Jennifer.l.harris194.civ@mail.mil through email. It is recommended that this request is submitted no later than 72 hours prior to proposal due date and time. The Government will send you a one-time submission code through the “request a drop off” feature of DoD SAFE.

After submitting a proposal in DoD SAFE using the “Drop Off” feature, the offeror shall take a screen shot of the “Drop Off Completed” screen and email it to Jennifer Harris, Jennifer.l.harris194.civ@mail.mil. The one-time submission code must be used to submit a proposal for this solicitation. Bidders with a CAC card may not submit a proposal on their own without a one-time submission code provided by the Government for tracking purposes.

Submissions via the DoD Safe Site are limited to 8.0 GB. If your proposal is larger than 8.0 GB then you will need to request additional codes.”

a. Cross-reference to related Section L paragraph number

b. Page number

c. CD-ROM or DVD Volume and number

d. File name

TO: “In accordance with FAR 15.208, it is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure the proposal is received by the date and time specified on the cover page of this solicitation in accordance with the Instructions below. The DoD SAFE submission code is a one-time code. Therefore, Offerors should allow adequate time to request, receive, and input the code multiple times in case there is a problem with submittal of the proposal. Please note that when submitting through DoD SAFE, it will take time to upload the proposal submission; size and content may be factors, therefore offerors are strongly cautioned when submitting proposals to allow adequate time for submission.”

Proposals must be delivered to the Detroit Arsenal (DTA) Mail Handling Facility (Building 255) between the hours of 8:00AM and 1:00PM local Warren, MI time. The package(s) will be dated and time stamped at the Mail Handling Facility and the Government will be responsible for forwarding the package(s) to the appropriate personnel. Offerors should ensure that any commercial carrier it uses has a tracking system that can provide documentation that will prove the date and time of delivery to the Government. If the proposal is hand-carried by other than a commercial carrier, the delivery person (even if an employee of the offeror) must be a US citizen, and must obtain a signed receipt, indicating date and time of delivery, from the Mail Handling Facility personnel. The delivery person must provide the receipt since the Mail Handling Facility personnel do not have them. *Directions to DTA: From Van Dyke Avenue, travel west on East Eleven Mile road to railroad track. Immediately after crossing railroad track turn right into DTA main gate and follow security officer directions to the Mail Handling Facility (Building 255). It may be necessary for the delivery person to obtain a visitors badge prior to being allowed to enter the installation. If so, the security officer will advise the delivery person of the procedures to follow.” TO: Proposals shall be submitted via DoD Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE), which can be accessed at https://safe.apps.mil/. When submitting a proposal to DoD SAFE, Offerors need to request a Drop-Off code from Jennifer Harris, Jennifer.l.harris194.civ@mail.mil through email. It is recommended that this request is submitted no later than 72 hours prior to proposal due date and time. The Government will send you a one-time submission code through the “request a drop off” feature of DoD SAFE.

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following have been modified:

SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H.1 ISSUANCE OF TASK ORDER REQUIREMENTS

The following ordering procedures apply to all task orders issued under the AWSM PIERSIDE MA IDIQ contract.

Any services to be furnished under this MA IDIQ contract will be acquired by the Government via a task order.

H.1.1 Authority to Place a Task Order:

The AWSM PIERSIDE contract will be used by the Watercraft Inspection Branch (WIB) and Army Watercraft Systems (AWS)

The Procuring Contracting Officer(s) (PCO) will follow the policies and procedures in FAR 16.505.

Task orders may be placed at any time during the five year IDIQ with five, one year ordering periods..

H.1.2 Types of Orders:

Firm-fixed-price and Time and Materials Contracts as specified in FAR Part 16, Types of Contracts, may be permitted for use on task orders issued against the AWSM PIERSIDE Contract. The Government intends to competitively award task orders in accordance with (IAW) the Fair Opportunity provisions of FAR 16.505(b). The Government shall consider any task order not rejected in writing within three business days after issuance to have been accepted by the contractor.

H.1.3 Unauthorized Work:

The contractor shall not commence performance until after the task order has been awarded by the PCO.

H.1.4 Task Order Funding:

Funding will be authorized and obligated at the task order level.

H.1.5 Task Order Requests:

H.1.5.1 The contractor, as an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of the Government, shall furnish to the Government all necessary labor, services, and materials required to accomplish the work efforts as specified in the fully executed task order. All tasks to be performed at the task order level shall be within the scope of Section C of this MA IDIQ contract. The Government is only liable for work authorized under the terms and conditions stated in the task order.

H.1.5.2 Within 15 business days after MA IDIQ award, the prime contractor shall establish a single e-mail mailbox for the Government to use to distribute Task Order Request information. The Government will only send Task Order

Request packages to one email address per prime contractor. The Task Order Request will include submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and other information specific to the requirement. All contractors who receive the Task Order Request shall acknowledge receipt electronically to the person(s) of issue within two business days.

H.1.5.3 Task Order Requests will be issued electronically by the Government when soliciting proposals for requirements under the AWSM PIERSIDE contract. A task order proposal shall be received at the initial point of entry by the date and time specified in the Task Order Request or the proposal will be determined late. Proposal, as the term is used here, means ALL volumes and/or parts of the proposal required by each Task Order Request.

H.1.5.4 The Government reserves the right to award any task order based on initial proposals as submitted. The Government will evaluate proposals based on the evaluation criteria identified in each Task Order Request, which may include technical approach, experience, past performance, cost/price, or small business participation (SBP).

H.1.5.5 Depending on the effort required by the specified task order, additional FAR, DFARS, and/or AFARS clauses, as well as any other terms and conditions, may be applicable.

H.1.5.6 Small Business Requirement:

H.1.5.6.1 A small business (SB) subcontracting requirement may be included in a Task Order Request. This requirement may apply to both SBs and OTSBs. SBs can propose to meet the SB subcontracting requirement via its own performance. If this requirement is added, the Task Order Request may identify the percentage of fully-loaded labor dollars to be subcontracted to SB concerns for each period of performance, not including any phase-in period.

The Government may reject a contractors proposal that fails to comply with this requirement at the time of proposal submission. During task order performance, this requirement may be monitored on a monthly basis. Failure to meet this requirement may be grounds for Termination for Cause.

H.1.5.6.2 The NAICS code specified in the Task Order Request must be passed on to the subcontractor unless the contractor provides supporting data to the PCO explaining why another NAICS code is more appropriate for the work the subcontractor will be performing. In addition, if the subcontractor is not listed in System for Award Management (SAM) for the NAICS code being utilized, supporting data shall be provided showing that the subcontractor is, in fact, a SB concern. All proposals shall include a statement as to the specific work the subcontractor will perform, broken down for each performance period identified in the Task Order Request. Failure to provide the subcontracting information required above in a contractors task order proposal will result in rejection of the proposal.

H.1.6 Evaluation Process for Task Order Proposals:

H.1.6.1 Task orders will be competed IAW the Fair Opportunity provisions of FAR 16.505(b) unless one of the exceptions listed in FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i) applies. The basis for the award will be identified in the Task Order Request(s). Best Value Trade Off (see paragraph H.1.7.1.1) or Lowest Evaluated Price (see paragraph H.1.7.1.2) are two evaluation approaches that may be utilized at the task order level.

H.1.6.1.1 Best Value Trade Off: Task order award will be made to the contractor whose proposal is determined to represent the best value to the Government when evaluated IAW the criteria set forth in the individual task order request. This may result in award to other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest rated proposal after consideration of all evaluation factors. Best value is determined through an integrated assessment and trade off analysis utilizing non-cost factors such as technical approach and qualifications, past performance, management approach, personnel experience, SBP, versus cost/price factors.

H.1.6.1.2 Lowest Evaluated Price: If low price is utilized, the Government will evaluate the lowest total evaluated price.

H.1.6.2 Contractors are cautioned that during the evaluation of task orders the Government may use, in addition to the data provided in a contractors proposal, data obtained from other sources (e.g., Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) reports, DCAA audits, available industry market rates for labor and overhead), including the Past Performance

Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for CPARS data, ESRS data, and records of performance on previously awarded contract actions. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing thorough and complete proposal information rests solely with the contractor.

H.1.6.3 The Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges with one or more, but not necessarily all contractors for any reason.

H.1.7 Task Orders Awarded on a Time-and-Material Basis:

H.1.7.1 The contractor shall notify the PCO, in writing, when the hourly rate payments, travel, other direct costs and material amounts that will accrue in performing the awarded task order, when added to all other payments and amounts previously accrued, will exceed 75 percent of the total price of the task order; except if FAR 52.232-20, Limitations on Cost, is included in the task order, the notification required in this paragraph shall occur as prescribed in the clause.

H.2 PRICING

H.2.1 Labor: Each offeror will input Fully Burdened Labor Rates (FBLR) within the Pricing Attachment. The FBLRs will be used to calculate the time and material composite labor rates. The time and materials composite labor rates will be incorporated as an attachment to the MA IDIQ contract.

H.2.2 For TOs with Time and Material CLINs, offerors shall propose at or below the time and material composite labor rates. If a future TO requires significantly different skill mix than what is identified in the Pricing Attachment, then the Government may waive this requirement for that specific TO. For billing purposes under time and materials TOs, the labor costs shall be billed using the ceiling rates in the contract or the rates proposed/negotiated, whichever is lower.

H.2.3 Material/ODCs: Each offeror will input its estimated indirect cost and profit rate into the Pricing Attachment.

The indirect cost rate proposed by the offeror will be incorporated as an attachment to the MA IDIQ contract. For TOs with Time and Material CLINs, offerors shall propose at or below the indirect cost rate identified within the Pricing Attachment. For billing purposes under time and materials TOs, the indirect rates applied to material/ODC shall be billed using the ceiling rates in the contract or the rates proposed/negotiated, whichever is lower. For TO’s with Time and Materials CLINs the profit rate is not applicable to those specific CLIN(s).

H.3 RESERVED

H.4 OFF-RAMPING

H.4.1 At any point during the MA IDIQ ordering period, ACC-DTA reserves the right to Off-Ramp a MA IDIQ prime contractor via mutual agreement between the Government and the contractor, based on a determination of non-responsibility, or for failure to comply with FAR 19.702(c).

H.4.2 Written notice of the proposed off-ramping action will be sent to the affected contractor, and will allow the contractor 10 calendar days to respond before the off-ramping action is executed.

H.5 ON-RAMPS

H.5.1 To maintain an optimal mix of both SB and OTSB prime contractors, ACC-DTA may conduct an Open Season during the AWSM PIERSIDE MA IDIQ performance period during which new contractors may be added, via On-Ramping, to the AWSM PIERSIDE contract. This may result in a change in the total number of SB and/or OTSB MA IDIQ AWSM PIERSIDE contractors. Any new IDIQ contracts awarded as a result of On-Ramps will not result in a change to the maximum quantity of services anticipated under this contract, as stated in paragraph A.6.2, nor will the ordering period for the IDIQ contract be extended beyond that stated in paragraph A.7.

H.6 NON-PERSONAL SERVICES

Contractor employees shall only perform tasks as directed by the contractor. The contractor shall notify the PCO if any contractor employee reports receiving instructions, directions or orders to perform work from Government personnel. (FAR 37.104, "Personal services contracts")

H.7 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY

The Government may provide Government Furnished Property (GFP), Government Furnished Material (GFM) or Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) for individual task orders. GFP, GFM, and GFE clauses will be addressed at the individual task order level.

H.8.2.2 Any other day designated by Executive Order

H.8.2.3 Any other day designated by Presidential Proclamation

H.8.3 It is understood and agreed between the Government and the contractor that observance of such days by Government personnel shall not be a reason for an extension of the period of performance, or entitlement of compensation except as set forth within the contract.

H.9 CORPORATE CHANGES

H.9.1 The contractor shall notify the PCO prior to the commencement of any corporate change. Any corporate changes may impact a prime contractor's ability to participate in future requirements under this AWSM PIERSIDE contract.

H.9.2 The contractor shall provide the Watercraft PCOs copies of all publicly available correspondence relating to corporate status and major corporate revisions, such as buyouts, sale or dissolution, and changes in personnel policy that effect this contract or task orders issued thereunder. Potential buyout scenarios, actual buyouts, sales and dissolutions shall be disclosed in writing to the Watercraft PCOs as soon as possible.

H.10 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORT (CPAR) AND CONTRACTOR

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (CPARS)

H.10.1 The contractor shall access the CPARS website via http://www.cpars.gov/.

H.10.2 A CPAR is required when a contract/task order meets the established dollar threshold for its business sector as defined in AFARS 5142.1502-90(a). However, the PCO may require a CPAR valued below those thresholds.

Additionally, a CPAR is required in all instances of termination or partial termination for default or cause immediately upon notification to the contractor, regardless of the dollar value of the contract or task order. The cognizant DCMA office and/or the COR may provide relative information to the PCO regarding the contractor's performance to include the following areas: Technical (Quality of Product or Services); Schedule; Cost Control;

Management (Responsiveness, Subcontract Management, Program Management or Other Management) and Management of Key Personnel (for Services and Information Technology Business Sectors). The assessment/review will be accomplished through CPARS. The completed evaluations will not be released to anyone other than Government personnel and the contractor whose performance is being evaluated. Within the time specified in the individual task order, the contractor shall provide the PCO with the name of the person who will be responsible for accepting or disputing the CPARS created by the Government.

H.10.3 An interim CPAR is required for new task orders meeting the thresholds identified in AFARS 5142.1502- 90(a) and that have a period of performance greater than 365 calendar days. Interim CPARS are also required every 12 months throughout the entire period of performance of the task order up to the final report. Additionally, an interim CPAR is also required upon a significant change within the agency, provided that a minimum of six months of performance has occurred, such as a change in program or project management responsibility or a transfer of a contract to a different contracting activity.

H.10.4 A final CPAR will be completed by the Government upon task order completion. Final reports are to be prepared on all contracts meeting the thresholds established in AFARS 5142.1502-90(a) with a period of performance of less than 365 calendar days but no more than 18 months. The final CPAR will only address information on the period of performance since the last CPAR.

H.11 CONTRACTOR MANPOWER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO AWARDED TASK

ORDERS

H.11.1 The contractor shall access the CMR website via https://cmra.army.mil.

H.11.2 The contractor shall report ALL contractor labor hours (including subcontractor labor hours) required for performance of services provided through fully executed task orders. If the contractor does not receive a funded task order in any given year, information need not be entered in the Contractor Manpower Reporting (CMR) database.

The reporting period shall be the period of performance that does not exceed 12 months, ending 30 September of each Government fiscal year. All data must be reported by 31 October of each calendar year. The contractors name and the contract number associated with the data will not be disclosed to the public.

H.12 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCIs)

H.12.1. The provisions of FAR 9.5 Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI), apply to any award under this RFP.

The contractor and its subcontractors, consultants, parents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other business affiliates of any tier may be excluded from performing under this contract if the PCO finds an organizational conflict of interest due to bias or unfair competitive advantage. A similar provision is expected to apply to follow-on SLEP and OCCM RFPs and contracts. Exceptions may be granted by modification to the contract for relationships where the Government agrees that either 1) the potential for bias or unfair competitive advantage is essentially non-existent, 2) a means of controlling the relationship to effectively neutralize the potential conflict can be reached, or 3) there is no way to perform the Government's requirements without such potential. This restriction begins on the date of award of this contract or any subcontract or other relationship hereunder and expires on the completion of the contract/subcontract.

H.12.2. The contractor shall flow down this provision in any subcontracts or other related instruments (of all tiers).

The contractor shall monitor activities of itself and subcontractors and related entities, and promptly disclose any actual or potential OCI and any actions taken or proposed to negate or mitigate such conflicts.

H.13 SERVICE CONTRACT ACT COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENT

This contract is subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA), although the exact places of performance are not yet identified. Labor categories may vary based upon contractor employment policies and labor agreements. The contractor shall consult the Department of Labor (DOL) Website: https://www.beta.sam.gov/help/wage-determinations for specific location wage determinations as appropriate.

The contractor is responsible for ensuring the rates proposed for personnel subject to the SCA meet or exceed the corresponding minimum wages established by the DOL for the corresponding geographical region for contract performance. When the actual place of performance is identified on the task order, it is incumbent upon the contractor to discount the ceiling rates from its Pricing Labor Matrix if deemed appropriate by the actual place of performance.

H.14 INCORPORATION OF RATES AND LABOR DESCRIPTIONS

H.14.1 The contractor’s Pricing labor matrix (Attachment 0003) proposed in response to the MA IDIQ solicitation sets forth the labor categories and associated maximum labor rates the Government will reimburse for any given performance period. Contractors are advised that the proposed labor rates to successful perform any task order issued hereunder should reflect the most competitive price. At the task order level, should the applicable Wage Determination rates(s) increases during task order performance, the Contracting Officer will make adjustments in accordance with FAR 52.222-43, “Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Labor Standards—Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts).”

H.14.2 All fully loaded labor rates (including profit/fee) shown on the Pricing Labor Matrix (Attachment 0003) are incorporated into the contract as ceiling rates for time-and-material contract line items. The ceiling rates are for OCONUS labor and are subject to downward negotiation only. Ceiling prices will apply, unless an applicable Wage Determination increases beyond the ceiling. The contractor shall account for all conceivable contingencies when developing its ceiling rates for each labor category listed in Attachment 0003.

H.15 ADMINISTRATION OF SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

H.15.1 This section does not apply if: 1) an approved comprehensive small business subcontracting plan, established under DFARS Subpart 219.7, applies; or, 2) a Small Business Subcontracting Plan is not required pursuant to FAR 52.219-9(a).

H.15.2 Goals for orders not awarded to the contractor do not apply and the contractor will not be required to report on them.

H.15.3 When the contractor is awarded future task orders or modifications that require an update to the Small Business Subcontracting Plan, the goals for the order or mod will be incorporated into the order or mod.

H.15.4 Every set of goals for every mod or order hereby constitutes an addition to the original plan in the contract.

H.15.5 Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) Semi-Annual Reporting:

H.15.5.1 Contractors shall submit their cumulative goals semi-annually through eSRS pursuant to the following dates:

H.15.5.1.1 By 30 April for period ending 31 March

H.15.5.1.2 By 30 October for period ending 30 September

H.15.5.2 Contractors shall report the cumulative goals and cumulative accomplishments for all the orders and mods on the contract.

H.15.5.5 If no mods or orders were awarded to a contractor within a reporting period, the contractor shall submit a statement to the Contracting Officer stating that a Small Business Subcontracting Cumulative Goals Spreadsheet is not required in accordance with the reporting period dates.

H.16 ADDITION OF CLAUSES/PROVISIONS AT THE TASK ORDER LEVEL

The Contracting Officer, at his/her discretion, may add additional clauses/provisions at the task order level. The Contracting Officer will include any such clauses/provisions in the Task Order Request.

If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of -- or in connection with -- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract.

Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

L.3 Evaluation Factors: Offeror proposals shall address the following three Factors:

a. Past Performance Factor

b. Price Factor

c. Small Business Participation Factor

L.3.1 Volume 1 Past Performance

L.3.1.1 For the Past Performance Factor, provide information for a total of up to three recent and relevant contracts performed by the offeror as the prime contractor. These may include foreign, federal, state, local and private industry contracts. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror. It is the offeror's responsibility to submit detailed and complete information so the Government may evaluate its Past Performance volume. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from internal and external sources other than the proposal, the burden to provide thorough and complete past performance information rests with the offeror. The below instructions are provided to advise offerors as to the information required by the Government to assess the contractor’s Recent and Relevant past performance. Since this information constitutes a basis of the Government's review, it is imperative that the offeror present its past performance in a clear and complete manner.

Failure to provide the information requested under paragraph L.3.1.2 and L.3.1.3 (if applicable) below may result in an assessment that the offeror does not possess a record of Recent and Relevant past performance.

(a) For the purpose of this Factor, a Contract is defined as written instrument that requires the performance of a distinct effort and demonstrates the distinct effort was actually performed. Written instruments containing supplies or services that can be ordered but typically do not demonstrate actual performance, such as Indefinite Delivery Contracts (FAR 16.5), Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA), Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) and Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) do not meet the definition of a Contract. Written instruments considered to demonstrate actual performance may include a single task or delivery order, a single work directive, or a single definite quantity contract provided it demonstrates a distinct effort was actually performed. An offeror may submit, or the Government may require, written instruments that enhance the Government’s understanding of the distinct effort actually performed if it is not identified on the Contract itself. It is incumbent upon the offeror to demonstrate that a distinct effort was actually performed.

(b) Recent Contracts are those performed within 3 years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

(c) Relevant Contracts are those comparable in scope, magnitude of effort, and complexity to the following statement of work requirements:

i. . System trouble shooting includes complex systems and subsystems on vessels comparable in size to the

Army Watercraft Systems Landing Craft Utility (LCU) 2000 or the Logistic Support Vessel (LSV). Scope of Work paragraph C.1.0.2 provides examples of complex systems and subsystems.

ii. Ship repair to include structural and machinery repairs on complex systems. Ship repair work shall be on vessels comparable in size to the Army Watercraft Systems Landing Craft Utility (LCU) 2000 or the Logistic Support Vessel (LSV). Scope of Work paragraph C.1.0.2 provides examples of complex systems and subsystems

L.3.1.2 Contract Information: Refer to the definition of a Contract above (L.3.1.1.a). The offeror’s proposal shall substantiate what distinct effort was required and actually performed under each of the proposed Contract(s). For each Contract(s) submitted provide the following information:

(a) Prime Contractor name and address;

(b) Contract Number (and delivery/task order number if applicable);

(c) Contractor’s CAGE Code;

(d) Contract Type;

(e) Total Value of the Contract (beginning & ending value);

(f) Delivery or Performance Schedule;

(g) Government or private industry contracting activity address, telephone number and e-mail;

(h) Procuring Contracting Officers (PCO) and/or Contract Specialist’s name, or point of contact for private industry entity responsible for signing or administering the Contract, telephone number and e-mail;

(i) Government (DCMA) or private industry administrative contracting officer (ACO), contracting officers representative (COR), performance certifier, and/or quality assurance representative (QAR), name, telephone number and email;

(j) Specify the Government or Contractor Point(s) of Contact for which the Questionnaire was sent, and provide the date(s) it was sent.

(k) A description of the work performed by the offeror, which shall include a narrative describing the similarities between (1) the relevant work performed under the statement of work requirements of the offeror’s cited Contract(s) and (2) the statement of work requirements identified in L.3.1.1(c). In its narrative, the offeror shall specify the location in the cited Contract’s statement of work (to include paragraph and page number) that substantiates the relevant work performed;

(l) Contract period of performance;

(m) Provide a brief self-assessment of Contract performance. The self-assessment must address performance to meet Technical and Schedule requirements within the price of the contract; and

(n) Copy of the complete Performance Work Statement or Scope of Work for each of the submitted Contracts. If the proposed Contract was issued under or in connection with a related written instrument (e.g. Indefinite Delivery Contracts, BOA, BPA, FSS) and the details of the distinct effort actually performed needed to establish relevancy on the proposed Contract are further defined within the terms and conditions (e.g.
