The Government will consider how well the Offeror complied with the instructions when evaluating the Offeror's capability to perform the prospective contract. The Government will consider an Offeror's non-compliance with these instructions, or any attempt to take advantage of loopholes in these instructions, to be indicative of the type of conduct that it may expect from the Offeror during contract performance.

The Volumes are I - Technical, II - Past Performance, III - Price, and IV - Solicitation, Offer and Award Documents, and Certifications /Representations.

Submissions
Offerors are discouraged from providing points of contact with another contractors' facility, i.e., in case an offeror (or one of his/her team members) is in a subcontract with another contractor who has submitted a proposal on the same requirement. Offerors shall provide and submit the prime contract number and all Governmental agency points of contact (POC) in lieu of subcontract or prime contract POCs in situations as described above.
The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror's (and major subcontractor's) record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process.
