The period for acceptance of offers is one hundred (100) calendar days after the closing date of the solicitation.

L.2. PRE-AWARD SURVEY

L.2.1. The Government may conduct a Pre-Award Survey prior to any contract award. The pre award survey may examine the Offeror’s and/or Key Subcontractor’s record of integrity and business ethics (which includes satisfactory compliance with the law including tax, labor and employment, environmental, antitrust, and consumer protection laws), technical ability, production capacity, management structure, quality, financial capability, accounting systems, security controls/clearances, labor resources, performance record, and ability to meet required schedules.

PRICES INCURRED PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CONTRACT.

L.4. QUESTIONS CONCERNING THIS SOLICITATION

Questions concerning this solicitation amendment shall be submitted to Jeananne Russell via email to Jeananne.M.Russell.civ@mail.mil no later than 29 October 2020 with a Subject Line of: “Questions: ETS Solicitation W911QY21R0001-0002 - (Offeror’s Company Name). The questions shall be submitted as an email attachment in a Microsoft Word format containing no tables or charts, only text with the following document naming convention: Questions: ETS Solicitation W911QY21R0001 (Offeror’s Company Name). The Government will not guarantee a response to any question and/or clarifications after the submission deadline.

L.5. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

L.5.1 The proposal shall be complete, shall arrive by the date and time indicated, and shall undergo a review of proposal compliance with all instructions. The offeror shall refer to Section L (Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors) for proposal preparation. Non-conformance with the instructions in Section L may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation, or be cause for rejection. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors and/or areas. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The offeror shall clearly state how they intend to meet the requirements. Mere acknowledgment or restatement of a requirement or task is not acceptable. The information contained in each proposal shall be presented in a clear, coherent and concise manner.

Vague or terse statements such as "will comply," "noted and understood," etc. are not acceptable. The proposal shall be limited to the information that is necessary to convey a point and shall not be overly elaborate.

L.5.2. Please do not submit a transmittal letter with your proposal. Such a letter is unnecessary and statements therein frequently create conflicts or ambiguities, raising the possibility that your proposal takes exception to the terms and conditions of the solicitation. Therefore, any transmittal letter will not be evaluated.

L.6. DISCLOSURE OF PROPOSAL

L.6.1. Information contained in the Offerors technical, management or price proposal must be released under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) upon request from the public except to the extent it contains trade secrets and privileged or confidential commercial or financial information. If the Offerors proposal contains material meeting this description which is customarily maintained in confidence in the course of the Offerors business and is not otherwise publicly available and if the Offeror does not want it disclosed to the public, he shall mark the title page with the legend that follows:

"This proposal, furnished in response to Solicitation W911QY21R0001 contains trade secrets and/or privileged or confidential commercial or financial information. This information is maintained in confidence in the course of the Offerors business and is not otherwise publicly available. The Offeror submits this information to the Government in confidence and understands that it is received with that intent. This information shall not be released or disclosed outside the Government under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) or under any other circumstances."

L.6.2. Proposals so marked will be accepted by the Government in confidence and will not be released provided that:

The Offeror and/or the Government can show upon request under the Freedom of Information Act, that disclosure would either (1) impair the Government's ability to obtain necessary information in the future or (2) cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the Offeror.

L.7. DISCLOSURE OF UNIT PRICE INFORMATION

This constitutes notification pursuant to Executive Order 12600, Pre-Disclosure Notification Procedures for Confidential Commercial Information (June 23, 1987) of our intention to release unit prices of the awardees in response to any request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 USC 552. Unit price is defined as the contract price per unit or item purchased. We consider any objection to be waived unless the Contracting Officer is notified of your objection to such release prior to submission of initial proposals.

L.8. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS DURING PROPOSAL EVALUATION

The Government shall employ Best Value techniques to evaluate proposals, conduct negotiations/discussions, and determine the successful offeror in this acquisition. "Offeror", for the purposes of this solicitation, shall be defined as a response to the solicitation that, if accepted, would bind the offeror to perform the resultant contract. Offerors can expect the following conditions and responses during the proposal evaluation and negotiation/discussions:

a. The Offeror’s proposal shall be submitted in accordance with the paragraph below entitled “

GENERAL PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS.”

b. Upon receipt, the proposals shall be reviewed for completeness and compliance with RFP requirements.

The proposals shall receive a detailed evaluation employing the process and criteria identified in Section M of this RFP.

c. In accordance with FAR 15.306, the Government may conduct exchanges with offerors after receipt of proposals, prior to award or leading to the establishment of the competitive range. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the Offerors best terms.

d. THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AWARD A CONTRACT BASED ON

INITIAL SUBMISSION WITHOUT ORAL PRESENTATION, EXCHANGES AND/OR

DISCUSSIONS.

e. In the event the Government has not rendered a competitive range determination, the Government may conduct exchanges with Offerors to enhance the Government’s understanding of proposals; allow reasonable interpretation of the proposal; or facilitate the Government’s evaluation process. Such communications shall not be used to cure proposal deficiencies or material omissions, materially alter the technical or cost elements of the proposal, and/or otherwise revise the proposal. Such communications may be considered in rating proposals for the purpose of establishing the competitive range. Furthermore, such communications do not and shall not permit Offerors to modify, revise, or otherwise change any element of their proposal.

f. In the event the Government does not award without discussions, the Government will render a competitive range determination and conduct discussions with only those Offerors remaining in the competitive range. In accordance with FAR 15.306(c), the competitive range will consist only of those offers that are the most highly rated offers, however, in accordance with FAR Part 15.306(c)(2) the number of proposals in the competitive range may be limited for purposes of efficiency. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal shall contain the Offeror’s best terms.

g. When the competitive range has been established, Offerors shall be prepared to enter into discussions.

For those offerors in the competitive range, the Government shall submit Discussion Items and Evaluation Notices, which shall be answered by the offerors.

h. Additional competitive range determinations may be made as needed during exchanges. A request for

Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs), as described below, will be used to conclude exchanges.

i. The Contracting Officer shall establish a common due date and time for the submission of FPRs. The final proposal revision shall be requested in the following format:

Regarding your offer submitted in response to the above referenced solicitation, discussions with offerors are now concluded. You have the opportunity, if you so desire, to submit a best or final offer by the date specified by the Contracting Officer. Major revisions are not expected, but should you revise your offer in any way, complete and detailed support for the revision and any other affected part of your proposal must accompany the revision. In the event the price is revised, a complete price breakdown setting forth the revisions and basis thereof, shall be submitted with the revised offer. The Government reserves the right to reject any proposal data specified above if not submitted with a revision or, if submitted, is inadequate to establish the acceptability of the revised offer. Any revision received after the closing time and date shall be considered a late offer in accordance with FAR 52.215-1(c)(3)(ii)(A), Instructions to Offerors, Competitive Acquisition.

j. If FPRs are requested, the offeror's FPR shall be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in Section M. Unexplained or inadequately explained departures from the previous submission may significantly impact the evaluation of the offeror's proposal. The information in the FPR should be presented in a clear, coherent and concise manner. Vague or terse statements such as "shall comply", "noted and understood", etc. are NOT acceptable.
