PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS, CONTENT, AND FORMAT

Throughout this document, the term “proposal” is used interchangeably to also refer to “bid.” The Government will not reimburse any costs incurred or associated with preparation and submission of any responses to this solicitation.

Oral explanations or instructions to offerors are not binding. Any information given to an offeror which impacts the solicitation and/or offer will be given in the form of a written amendment to the solicitation. Any and all amendments to the solicitation will be issued electronically via sam.gov. It is the offeror’s responsibility to acknowledge any and all amendments in its proposal submission.

Offerors should not modify the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal or add conditions or qualifications to their offers. Should an offeror include terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, that offeror may be determined to be in-eligible for award. Any questions related to specific terms and conditions contained within the solicitation should be resolved prior to submission of an offer.

References to “confidential” contracts cannot be submitted to demonstrate capability unless all of the information required for evaluation as specified herein can be provided to the government as part of the offeror’s technical proposal. Offerors that include information in their proposals they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the government except for evaluation purposes, must clearly mark their proposals in accordance with the instructions at FAR clause 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors-Competitive Acquisition, paragraph (e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data.

Use of the words “will”, “shall”, or “must” indicates a mandatory requirement for which failure to comply, at the time and date for submission of proposals, shall result in the offeror’s proposal being disqualified from consideration for award, unless the government elects to initiate discussions with some or all of the offerors, thereby providing a means by which appropriate corrections by the offeror(s) involved can be made. Failure to comply with non-pricing or pricing requirements that are annotated with the words “should” or “may” can result in a lowering of an offeror’s non-pricing ratings and may have a significant effect upon an offeror being selected for the contract award. Time periods, if stated as a number of days, are calendar days unless otherwise specified.
