However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number; W91238-14-Q-0009

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(k) System for Award Management. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation.

(5) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

1. Technical and Price Proposal Packaging Guidelines.

a. Each Offeror must respond to this Request for Proposals with both a price proposal and a technical proposal. The price proposal and the technical proposal are to be prepared as two physically distinct volumes but submitted together prior to the closing date and time specified for this solicitation, in accordance with the instructions herein.

b. Due to space and storage constraints, and in order to reduce Government handling time, compliance with the following recommended packaging guidelines is requested for both the written technical and price proposals.

(1) Submit only typed/printed hard-copy paper documents, unless specifically authorized elsewhere in this solicitation. Evaluation personnel will not have access to the equipment necessary to review video tapes or other audio-visual materials, including computer media.

(2) Pressboard report covers with compression-type fasteners or spring-action clamps are preferred. The use of three-ring binders/notebooks is acceptable. Do not exceed the recommended capacity of the binder/fastener as your proposal will receive extensive handling.

(3) The use of plastic multi-hole/spiral binding systems, heat binding systems, or other systems which do not facilitate the ready insertion of additional pages is not desired as changes to your proposal may result from negotiations, if discussions are held.

CAUTION: All information intended to be evaluated as part of the technical proposal (e.g., past experience information, past record of conformance with small business program requirements, etc.) must be submitted as part of the technical proposal, if applicable. Do not cross-reference material submitted with the price proposal (e.g., the Pre-Award Survey) in the technical proposal. Any such information in the price proposal that is referenced but not provided as part of the technical proposal will not be considered during the technical evaluation, and vice versa.

2. Price Proposal:

a. Number of copies. Submit the original and 1 copy of the price proposal.

b. The original and all copies of the price proposal shall be appropriately labeled as such, and shall be comprised of the following (there are no page limitations to the price proposal):

TAB 1: The first page (cover sheet) for the proposal, which must include all of the information required by FAR 52.215-1(c)(2)(i)-(v), provided in full text below.

TAB 2: The Standard Form (SF) 1449 completed by the Offeror and duly executed by an official authorized to bind the company. Also include under TAB 2 acknowledgement of any and all amendments to the solicitation in accordance with the instructions on the SF 30.

CAUTION: See FAR 4.102, Contractor’s Signature, for instructions pertaining to the proper execution of the SF1449. Also, the name and address of your firm on the offer MUST EXACTLY MATCH the address used for your DUNS number/CCR registration.

TAB 3: The complete Cost/Pricing Schedule, with the Offeror’s proposed contract line item costs/prices inserted in the appropriate spaces.

NOTE: PRICES TO INCLUDE TRAVEL COSTS TO/FROM LOCATIONS

CAUTION: If the Cost/Pricing Schedule contains unit prices, they are to be extended to the actual amount and rounded to the nearest cent. Please check your cost/pricing submission very carefully for mathematical and clerical errors prior to submission.

TAB 4: Representations, Certifications and other Statements of Offerors (Section K), completed by the offeror.

TAB 5: Completed Pre-Award Survey (see Section J of this RFP for the required format).

3. Technical Proposal:

a. The technical proposal will consist of all information and material submitted or provided in writing (as specified for each factor) for evaluation in response to the Technical (i.e., “non-cost”) evaluation factors, as specified in this section and FAR 52.212-2 of this solicitation. No dollar amounts from the price proposal are to be included in the technical proposal. Exceptions to the contractual terms and conditions of the solicitation (e.g., standard company terms and conditions) must not be included in the proposal.

b. Number of copies: Submit the original and 3 copies of the written technical proposal.

c. Format and Related Instructions:

(1) The technical proposals will be evaluated in direct correspondence to the technical (“non-cost”) evaluation criteria. Therefore, technical proposals are to be formatted in accordance with the listed order of the evaluation factors.

CAUTION: If the offeror fails to provide information relating to the criteria or locates the information in another part of the technical proposal without providing cross references, the offeror risks receiving a lower evaluation if evaluators are not able to readily locate the appropriate information. The Government is not responsible for finding information that is not clearly cross-referenced.

(2) Page Limitations: All page limitations, whether specified for the entire technical proposal, or for specific submissions, will be strictly enforced. Any pages in excess of the limitation(s) will not be evaluated.

The technical proposal shall be limited to 30 pages. Should information to be submitted as part of the Technical proposal be exempt from the page limitation, that exemption will be so stated in the specific instructions to offerors under the associated evaluation factor. One side of the paper counts as one page; information on the back and front of one piece of paper will be counted as two pages. Fold out pages (8 ½” x 14” or 11” x 17”) may be used only for graphical presentation (matrices, etc.) and will count for one page, if used. Sheets larger than 8 ½” x 11” may not be used for narrative information. Pages shall be single spaced (line spacing of 1.0) using Times New Roman font or similar, with font size no smaller than 11 point, as printed in Word or WordPerfect. Proposals shall have at least a one-inch margin on all sides. Header/footer/page number information may be placed inside the margins using a font size 8 point or larger. All pages included in the page count shall be numbered sequentially.

(3) The original and all copies of the technical proposal will be appropriately labeled as such, and shall conform to the following format and contents.

(a) Title Page, including the solicitation number, name of the offeror, and date of submission (exempt from the proposal page limitation).

(b) Table of Contents, including a list of tables, drawings, maps, exhibits, or other attachments (exempt from the proposal page limitation).

(d) Information to be submitted in Response to the Technical Proposal Evaluation Factors. It is highly recommended that offerors use tabs to separate each factor in their presentation of the technical proposal information. Tabs to separate factors are excluded from the page limitation. Factors are presented in their order of importance:
