SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

L.1 Executive Summary

Offerors shall submit two separate solutions (Threshold and Objective) to meet the performance requirements of the Screening Obscuration Module (SOM) and provide the optimum solution to the warfighter. To be considered responsive, the offeror’s submission shall consist of two parts; (1) a proposal for Threshold requirements and (2) a proposal for Objective requirements.

The Threshold proposal shall respond to the requirements as set forth in the PWS and the SOM Performance Specification. The offeror may propose to exceed any of the requirements in the solicitation to include those Threshold items identified in L.1.1 and L.1.2 in the threshold proposal submissions.

The Objective proposal shall respond to the requirements as set forth in the PWS and the SOM Performance Specification, to support enhanced specific Objective requirements. Offerors may propose to exceed any of the requirements in the solicitation and shall propose to meet or exceed Objective requirements identified in L.1.1 and L.1.2.

These specific Threshold/Objective requirements are the following:

L.1.1 Reliability. Mean Time Between System Aborts (MTBSA):

Threshold: ≥ 46 hours Objective: ≥ 69 hours.

L.1.2 Field Level Repair. The modular nature of the SOM design shall facilitate repair of system aborts at the Field Level of Maintenance:

Threshold: ≥95% of all repairs Objective: 100% of all repairs

L.2 Proposal Submission Instructions:

L.2.1 In order for proposals to receive full consideration for award, the offeror shall ensure that the information furnished in support of the proposal is factual, accurate, complete and defensible. Failure to provide the information requested by the solicitation may render the offeror’s proposal incomplete and ineligible for further consideration for award.

L.2.2 The offeror’s unclassified proposal shall be submitted electronically via the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOPPS) Bid Module in the files set forth below. Files shall not contain classified data. The use of hyperlinks in proposals is prohibited and if provided will not be evaluated or considered as part of the proposal.

L.2.3 The solicitation will be issued electronically, as well as any amendments subsequently issued thereto. It is the sole responsibility of all interested parties to periodically access the FedBizOPPS website (www.fbo.gov) described below in order to obtain any amendments, which may be issued. Failure of an offeror to obtain any said amendments and to respond to them prior to the date and time set for receipt of proposals is at the sole risk of the offeror, and may result in proposals (or any portion thereof) being declared nonresponsive that can result in the rejection of proposal submissions.

L.2.4 All submissions shall strictly comply with all filing requirements and content as specifically set forth in the solicitation. Failure to fully comply with all filing requirements shall result in rejection of a proposal submission as non-responsive.

L.2.5 Requirements/Instructions for the FedBizOPPS Bid Module:

L.2.5.1 Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov and have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number.

L.2.5.2 If the solicitation is found by searching on FedBizOPPS, within the Notice Details sub-tab of an opportunity, a note will be visible indicating that the opportunity allows for electronic responses. Note: a vendor must login to the system to be able to submit electronic responses for opportunities.

L.2.5.2.1 There will be a link to submit a response; if selected, the system will open a new tab called Electronic Response.

L.2.5.2.2 There are two possible types of electronic response: 1) Line Item Builder form and; 2) document upload.

What the offeror sees depends on which response type(s) the buyer enabled for that particular opportunity.

Therefore, the user may see only the Line Item Builder form, only the Document Package upload, or both the form and upload options.

L.2.5.2.3 The Line Item Builder form will provide the following information in spreadsheet fashion: 1) Line Item Description; 2) Child Line Item Description which will be indented under the related parent Line Item and; 3) Quantity per Line Item and Child Line Item.

L.2.5.2.4 The user must enter a price per Line Item in the Unit Price column; the Total column will calculate the Quantity multiplied by the price entered; the system will also calculate the Grand Total price (sum of all Line Item Totals) which will be displayed in the last row of the form.

L.2.5.3 The Documents section allows the user to submit files as part of their electronic response to the opportunity.

L.2.5.3.1 The user can enter a description for every file to be uploaded, note this is optional.

L.2.5.3.2 To select a file for upload, the user clicks on the Browse button. (Note, for files over 10 Mb, please use the Large Upload (JAVA) button.) This will allow the user to select a file located on their computer for upload.

L.2.3.5.3 After selecting the file, the user can click the Add New button to select additional files for upload.

L.2.3.5.4 The user can delete any file(s) previously selected for upload by clicking on the Delete button.

L.2.3.5.5 Submit saves and electronically submits the response to the government point of contact for the opportunity in the system. Note: the system will send an email to the email address on file for the user confirming the electronic submission.

L.2.5.4 Prospective offerors shall have sole responsibility for ensuring that all electronic responses are submitted correctly, are properly identified, contain all the information requested by the Government, are responsive, and filed in a timely manner.

L.3 Proposal Preparation Instructions.

L.3.1 Format: The offeror’s Support and Ownership, Technical Approach, Producibility & Manufacturing, Program Management, Past Performance, Small Business Utilization, Cost/Price, Uncosted Information, Administrative Information and Test Reports submissions shall be submitted in separate volumes as set forth in Table L-2.

L.3.2 Offerors shall prepare a separate proposal (Objective), which will address the SOM objective requirements outlined in the evaluation criteria set forth in this solicitation. If there is no change to a Volume specified in Table L-2 as a result of Objective requirements, the offeror shall include a statement to that effect in the beginning of the Volume.

Changes shall be highlighted in yellow. Tracked changes shall not be used. Additionally, offerors shall include a change matrix/summary. This matrix will not count against page count limitations.

L.3.3 All information the offeror wishes to have considered must be submitted with the initial proposal and shall be confined to the appropriate volume and within the specified page limitation. The Government will not consider any information that is not included in the appropriate volume as required.

L.3.6 Pages shall not exceed 8.5 inches in width and 11 inches in length; however, foldout pages, as appropriate, not exceeding 11 inches x 17 inches, depicting such items as charts, matrices, or schedules may be used and will count as a single page.

L.3.9 Offerors shall provide sufficient detail in a clear and concise manner to completely and logically address every aspect the Government intends to evaluate. The Government does not desire excess verbiage, unnecessary and elaborate brochures, or lengthy, repetitious, disorganized presentations beyond what is sufficient to present a complete and clear offer. Such presentations may be construed as an indication of the offeror’s lack of understanding of the requirement. All offerors are reminded that unsupported promises to comply with the contractual requirements are not sufficient. Proposals shall not merely restate the contractual requirements, but shall demonstrate convincing documentary evidence in support of any statements relating to the promised performance.

L.3.10 The offeror’s proposal shall represent the offeror’s best effort to respond to the solicitation. The offeror shall identify and explain all inconsistencies, whether real or apparent, between proposed performance and price.

L.3.11 The offeror shall include cost information ONLY in Volume VII: Cost/Price. Inclusion of cost data in Volumes I, II, III, IV, V, VI ,VIII, IX, or X will result in the removal of each page containing the cost data and the entire page or pages will not be evaluated or considered part of the proposal.

L.3.12 The offeror shall use Section C, Table 1, Schedule of Events, as a guide when developing its proposal. The dates provided in the table are only an estimate on when the events will occur and are provided for proposal development. All testing dates may shift during the contract due to test site availability.
