INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

Introduction: These are offered instructions for the submission of proposal for Request for Proposal (RFP) No.

W912DW-21-R-0035, titled “Domestic Whole-house Filter (WHF) Systems for Groundwater at Moses Lake Wellfield Superfund Site” located in Moses Lake, WA.

1. NOTE: Site visit is deemed unnecessary and will not be provided.

REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN MUST BE COMPLETED BY

PROPOSALERS AND RETURNED WITH OFFERS:

The contractor receiving an award is required to be registered in the SAM (System for Awards Management)

PROSPECTIVE OFFERORS: Contractors are required to be registered in the System for Awards Management

(SAM) for awards resulting from solicitations.

This rule more efficiently implements the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, as it requires contractors to be registered in SAM for consideration of future solicitations, awards, and payment. Registration is required prior to award of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement from a solicitation.

LACK OF REGISTRATION IN THE SAM DATABASE WILL MAKE AN OFFER INELIGIBLE FOR

AWARD.

The web site may be accessed at www.sam.gov The offeror/Proposal must provide pricing for all items in the solicitation for its Proposal to be acceptable to t he

Government. All Proposal items must meet the requirements of the Request for Proposal (RFP) including specifications stated in all attachments. The offeror should list any special features or warranty information applicable to the Proposal product(s).

2. (PROPOSAL) COMPOSITION AND SUBMISSION

General Requirements: Proposals must set forth full, accurate, and complete information as required by this Request for Proposal (RFP). Absence of information demonstrates the lack of support for a criterion. Proposals shall contain only data essential for evaluation of proposals to expedite both the RFP proposal preparation and evaluation.

Data submitted must reflect the Offeror’s interpretation of criteria contained in the RFP (See 52.212-2

EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014))

Submit your proposal in two parts: (a) Technical proposal, and (b) Price proposal. Submit each part in a separate envelope or package with the type of proposal (e.g., technical or price) clearly printed on the outside of the envelope or package.

Proposals are to be on 8-1/2 x 11-inch paper, to the maximum extent practicable, and submitted in standard letter (8- 1/2 x 11-inch) hardback loose-leaf binders. Contents of binders shall be appropriately tabbed and labeled corresponding to the proposal table of contents, affording ease of identification.

Reference FAR Clause 52.204-4(b) Printed or Copied Double-Sided on Recycled Paper. In accordance with Section

101 of Executive Order 13101 of September 14, 1998, Greening the Government through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition, the Contractor is encouraged to submit paper documents, such as offers, letters, or reports, that are printed or copied double-sided on recycled paper that meet minimum content standards specified in Section 505 of Executive Order 13101, when not using electronic commerce methods to submit information or data to the Government.

Number pages consecutively. There shall be no consideration of information incorporated by reference or reiteration of the RFP. Proposal presentation shall be in a manner which allows it to “STAND ALONE” without need for evaluators to reference other documents. It is allowable to combine arrangements, layout plans, and notes on single sheets in order to simplify presentation, so long as there is maintenance of clarity. Elaborate brochures or other presentation materials beyond those sufficient to present complete and effective responses are unnecessary and may give the appearance of an Offeror’s lack of cost-consciousness. Elaborate artwork, expensive paper and bindings, and expensive/extensive visual aids and other presentation aids are neither necessary nor wanted. Penalty for making false statements in proposals is prescribed in 18 U.S.C. 1001.

Offerors are required to meet ALL solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. The Offeror shall submit in the proposal all requested information specified in this section and the Basis of Award of the solicitation at or before the exact time specified in the solicitation. There will be no public opening of the proposals received as a result of this solicitation. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award.
