pla nn ing pu rpo se s o https://sam.gov/

1.8.1 Offerors shall not modify the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the non-price (technical) or price proposal or add conditions or qualifications to their offers. Should an offeror include terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, that offeror may be determined to be ineligible for award.

The offeror should resolve any questions related to specific terms and conditions contained within the solicitation prior to submission of their offer.

1.8.2 References to “confidential” projects cannot be submitted to demonstrate capability unless all of the information required for evaluation as specified herein can be provided to the Government as part of an offeror’s technical proposal. Offerors that include information in their proposals they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall clearly mark their proposals in accordance with the instructions at FAR clause 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors-Competitive Acquisition, paragraph (e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data.

1.8.3 Use of the words “will”, “shall”, or “must” indicates a mandatory requirement. Failure to comply with a mandatory requirement at the time and date for submission of proposals, shall result in an offeror’s proposal being disqualified from consideration for award, unless the Government determines to conduct discussions in accordance with FAR 15.306, thereby providing a means by which appropriate corrections by the offeror(s) involved could be made. Failure to comply with requirements annotated with the words “should” or “may” could result in an unacceptable rating of an offeror’s non-pricing ratings and may have a significant effect upon an offeror being selected for the contract award. Time periods, if stated as a number of days, are calendar days unless otherwise specified.

1.9.2 All information that the offeror intends to be evaluated as part of the non-price (technical) proposal shall be submitted with the non-price proposal. Do not include references to material or information not found within the technical proposal. Referencing information not found within the proposal could lead to an offeror’s proposal being determined unacceptable if materially incomplete in any aspect.

1.9.3 All proposals shall be submitted electronically and shall be comprised of two files, in Adobe portable Document Format (PDF), or comparable format. The first file will include the offeror’s Volume I - Non-Price (Technical) Proposal, and the second file will include the offeror’s Volume II - Price Proposal.
