Simple statements of compliance without detailed descriptions of how compliance will be met may not be considered sufficient evidence that the proposed services can technically meet the requirements of this RFQ. Accordingly, any proposal in which information requested is not furnished, or where indirect or incomplete answers or information are provided may be considered not acceptable. Proposals must be submitted in strict accordance with the instructions set forth hearin. The Government may consider failure on the part of the contractor to comply with these instructions to be indicative of the type of conduct it can expect during contract performance. Proposal Content Contractors are cautioned to review the RFQ and to ensure that the proposal submitted fully complies with all requirements of the RFQ. Each proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the contractor understands the overall and specific technical requirements of this PWS. The contractor must provide the requested past performance and pricing information. Failure to address any or all requirements of the RFQ in the proposal may result in the proposal not being considered for award by the Government. The proposal must be written in a practical, clear and concise manner. It must use quantitative terms whenever possible and must avoid qualitative adjectives to the maximum extent possible. Proposals must be legible, single space, type written (single sided), in a type size not smaller than eleven (11) point proportional, in MICROSOFT Word or PDF Format.

The contractor shall describe the technical approach to performing the work identified in the PWS. The technical approach shall include: 1. Demonstrated Technical Feasibility: This evaluation will ensure that the scope of the PWS is within the technical feasibility of the contractor.

Key personnel are defined as lead personnel who will perform tasks associated with this contract. These individuals must be qualified to perform the tasks that are set forth in the PWS. Evaluation Criteria for Technical The technical factor assesses the demonstrated technical feasibility of the contractor to effectively demonstrate its understanding of the requirements of the PWS and its technical acceptability to managing the tasks delineated in the PWS. These elements are of equal importance. The following adjectival ratings will be used to evaluate Technical Factor: Rating Symbol Definition Outstanding O Contractor demonstrates ability to meet and significantly exceed the requirements for tasks as stated in the PWS as well as its approach to comprehensively and completely managing the tasks in the PWS, and has highly qualified personnel to do so. Good G The contractor demonstrates ability to meet and exceed the requirements for tasks as stated in the PWS as well as its approach to thoroughly managing the tasks in the PWS, and has qualified personnel to do so.

The record suggests a high degree of risk. Volume III - Pricing There is no page limit for this section. The contractor shall prepare a price proposal that contains all information necessary for a comprehensive evaluation of the prices proposed by the contractor.

(D&B) to identify unique business entities. "Data Universal Numbering System+4 (DUNS+4) number" means the DUNS number means the number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern. "Registered in the SAM database" means that- (1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the SAM database; (2) The Contractor's CAGE code is in the SAM database; and (3) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record "Active". The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the SAM registration process. "System for Award Management (SAM)" means the primary Government repository for prospective federal awardee information and the centralized Government system for certain contracting, grants, and other assistance related processes. It includes- (1) Data collected from prospective federal awardees required for the conduct of business with the Government; (2) Prospective contractor submitted annual representations and certifications in accordance with FAR Subpart 4.12; and (3) The list of all parties suspended, proposed for debarment, debarred, declared ineligible, or excluded or disqualified under the nonprocurement common rule by agencies, Government corporations, or by the Government Accountability Office. (b)(1) The Contractor shall be registered in the SAM database prior to submitting an invoice and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation. (2) The SAM registration shall be for the same name and address identified on the contract, with its associated CAGE code and DUNS or DUNS+4. (3) If indicated by the Government during performance, registration in an alternate system may be required in lieu of SAM. (c) If the Contractor does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one. (1) A contractor may obtain a DUNS number- (i) Via the internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the contractor does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or (ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document. (g)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name with a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to- (A) Change the name in the SAM database; (B) Comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and (C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer.
