SECTION L
SECTION L
1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION
1.0.1 This section provides general guidance, as well as specific instructions on format and content, for preparing proposals. The Offeror’s proposal must include all information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to furnish a complete proposal, at the time of proposal submission, may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and may eliminate the Offeror from further consideration for award. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure the completeness of the proposal submitted. Evaluation of a proposal will be conducted solely on the basis of the information contained within it and the Government will not assume that an Offeror possesses any capabilities not specified. Inconsistencies among the parts of each proposal shall be explained. Any unexplained inconsistency may raise a fundamental question of the Offeror's understanding of the requirement and/or ability to perform. Offerors are advised that their proposals are presumed to represent their best efforts and must complete responses to this Request for Proposal (RFP). Proposals that simply reiterate the contents of this RFP, or contain only superficial responses, may be considered unacceptable. Evidence of experience, capability, and qualifications that clearly demonstrate and support the Offeror’s claims are essential. The absence of such evidence will adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal. Instructions contained herein, prescribe the format for the proposal and describe the approach for the development and presentation of proposal data. These instructions are designed to ensure the submission of necessary information to provide for the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of proposals.
1.1 POINT OF CONTACT
All questions, concerns, or clarifications shall be addressed to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) listed below as the sole point of contact for this acquisition. All inquiries must be made in writing and submitted electronically to the Contract Specialist with a copy to the PCO. The SUBJECT LINE shall be “W91QV1-19-R-0012, Question. . . ATTN: Daniel Quinn.”
Offerors will receive a notice of receipt, but if they do not, it is their responsibility to follow-up electronically with the points of contact listed below:
Contract Specialist:
Nekia Williams Email: nekia.l.williams.ctr@mail.mil
Procuring Contracting Officer:
Daniel M. Quinn Email: Daniel.m.quinn1.civ@mail.mil
1.2 PROPOSAL CLARITY
The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail enabling effective evaluation to substantiate the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements. The Government will consider statements and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used", etc.
unacceptable. The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the Offeror’s capabilities or experience; and as such, the Government will base its evaluation solely on the information presented in its proposal and information obtained through sources identified in past performance. As set forth in FAR 52.215-1 Alternate I (f)(4), the Government intends on conducting discussions with offerors whose proposals have been determined to be in the competitive range.
1.3 RESTRICTIONS ON DISCLOSURE AND USE OF PROPOSAL
A proposal may include data, such as technical designs or concepts, financial data, or management plans that the Offeror does not want disclosed to the public for any reason, or used by the Government for any purpose other than proposal evaluation and contract award. If the Offeror wishes to restrict the proposal, the Offeror shall mark it in accordance with FAR 52.215- 1(e).
1.4 DISPOSITION OF PROPOSALS
In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8, Government Contract Files, the Government will retain the “original” copy of all proposals and supplemental documents provided. Unless the Offeror requests otherwise, at the completion of this acquisition the Government will destroy all extra copies of proposals and additional documents submitted.
1.5 POST AWARD NOTICES & DEBRIEFINGS
Post-award notices and debriefings will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.506. The PCO will notify unsuccessful Offerors in accordance with FAR 15.503. Upon such notification, unsuccessful Offerors may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505 or
15.506. Offerors desiring debriefings must make their requests in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or 15.506 as applicable.
1.6 RESTRICTIONS OF CONTACTS
Concurrent with the release of this RFP, appropriate offices will be advised that a source selection action is in progress for the proposed award and that contact by participating Offerors on the subject of this RFP is inappropriate. Recipients of this RFP shall not attempt contact with other parties apart from the PCO and Contract Specialist identified in paragraph 1.1 during this period.
1.7 RESERVED
1.8 DISCREPANCIES
If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the PCO in writing with supporting rationale. The Offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.
1.9 RESERVED
1.10 EVALUATION
The selection of a source for award purposes will be conducted using source selection (negotiated) procedures as delineated in FAR Part 15.3. Proposals will be evaluated IAW Section M of the RFP, Evaluation Factors for Award. The Offeror’s responses to this RFP will be used as a validation tool for the Offeror’s capabilities in reference to, and understanding of, the mission capability factors. Failure to comply with the RFP will render the proposal unacceptable, and may eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.
1.11 NOTICE OF PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE/SITE VISIT
1.11.1 A site visit will be held at 2055 Boulders Road, Charlottesville, VA on 8 January 2020 beginning 10:00 am local time.

Prospective Offerors are highly encouraged to attend the site visit. Remarks and explanations provided during the site visit shall not change the terms of the RFP. Any change to the RFP terms will be conveyed through an amendment to the RFP. Failure to attend the site visit will not disqualify the Offeror; however, the Offeror acts at its own risk and will not be relieved from complying with the terms and conditions of any resultant contract by reason of such failure. In no event will a failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after award of a contract.
1.11.2 Offerors are limited to two (2) attendees per firm due to room space limitations. Offerors must notify Daniel M. Quinn, Contracting Officer, by electronic mail (daniel.m.quinn1.civ@mail.mil) not later than 12:00 pm local time, Fort Belvoir, Virginia on 30 December 2019, if attending the site visit.

1.11.4 Comments and/or questions are prohibited to be asked during the site visit. Offerors shall submit all comments and/or questions in writing to be answered at a later date. This will ensure all Offerors have the same opportunity to receive a correct and accurate answer. This also removes any risk of an incorrect answer being provided verbally without first verifying its accuracy.

To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the Offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.
