SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 23-Oct-2019 04:00 PM to 25-Oct-2019 04:00 PM.

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTION FOR OFFERORS

1. SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

A. Submission Instructions:

1) Proposals are due no later than the time and date specified in Block 8 of Standard Form 1449, or SF 30 if applicable.

2) Offeror shall submit its proposal through the FedBizOpps (FBO.gov) system. The requirements and procedures for offer submission are found in the FBO Vendor User Guide located on the FBO webpage at:

https://www.fbo.gov/downloads/FBO_Vendor_Guide.pdf.

3) The electronic proposal shall be in Portable Document Format, filename extension: “.pdf” and suitable for viewing in Adobe Reader. Offerors shall bookmark and label each electronic PDF to afford easy identification from the proposal table of contents.

4) Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Propriety information shall be clearly marked. DO NOT cross reference past performance information. It is acceptable to repeat data, project information, or experience in more than one non-price area as long as it satisfies the requirements of the factor. Extraneous information provided in the proposals will not be considered in the evaluations; therefore, the offeror should only provide information that satisfies the solicitation requirements.

Merely restating the performance work statement or evaluation criteria without sufficient elaboration demonstrates a lack of understanding of the requirement.

5) The offeror must confine the proposal to relevant information and documentation sufficient to provide an adequate basis for evaluation. The page count is at the discretion of the offeror; however the Volume I – Technical Proposal, may not be more than fifty (50) pages. The fifty (50) page limit does NOT include past performance information submitted under the Past Performance Factor, however it includes all other Volume I – Technical Proposal information.

6) The offeror’s proposal shall consist of two (2) volumes; Volume I – Technical Proposal and Volume II – Price Proposal. The use of hyperlinks in proposals is prohibited.

a) Technical Proposal, Volume I: Volume I shall consist of information for the three (3) factors, as stated in FAR clauses 52.212-2:

i. Experience (Factor 1)

ii. Past Performance (Factor 2)

iii. Work Plan (Factor 3)

b) Price Proposal, Volume II: Volume II shall be prepared in accordance with the following and must include:

i. SF 1449 – Solicitation:

The offeror shall complete the SF 1449 Blocks 17a, 30a, 30b, and 30c and have it signed in Block 30b by an official that is authorized to bind the company. The offeror shall also provide and acknowledge all amendments in accordance with the instructions on the SF 30, if applicable.

i. Price Schedule:

The offeror shall complete the Price Schedule found in the solicitation, under section B – Supplies or Services and Prices.

ii. Representations, Certifications, and other Statements of Offerors.

The offeror shall complete all representations and certifications within 52.212-3 Alt 1, and also ensure current registration and completed/updated Annual Representations and Certifications on the System for Award Management (SAM) website, www.sam.gov.

7) Offerors should enter a description for every file uploaded. For files over 10 megabytes (MB) the "Large Upload (JAVA)" button must be used. The combined file size limit for upload using "Large Upload (JAVA)" is 100MB. If needed, the offeror can break single files over 100MB into smaller files or use the upload utility multiple times if files exceed the 100MB size limit.

8) Once the offeror's proposal is submitted, it can be systematically revised prior to the solicitation response deadline. Refer to Paragraph 4.3.2 of the FBO Vendor Guide titled "Reviewing / Editing an Electric Response" for detailed guidance on completing a revision to an electronic proposal submission. Note: the FBO bid response system will send an email to the email address on file for the user confirming the electronic submission. Note: the offeror must be logged into the system to be able to submit / revise electronic responses.

9) For assistance and troubleshooting for the FBO electronic bid response system, contact the Federal Service Desk (FSD.gov). Phone: 866-606-8820 or Web Form (https://gsafsd.service-now.com/fsd-gov/login.do).

10) Do not assume submission will be instantaneous. File size and number of files to be uploaded will be factors to consider. Offeror/Teammate/Subcontractors should allow adequate time for submission completion because the entire proposal (i.e. offerors submission and all teammate/subcontractor(s) independent submissions) must be received by the time and date specified in Block 8 of Standard Form 1449, or SF 30 if applicable.

11) To avoid rejection of an offer, the offeror must make every effort to ensure its electronic submission is virus-free Proposals, or portions thereof, submitted with the presence of a virus or which are otherwise unreadable will be treated as unreadable pursuant to FAR 15.207(c).
