Section L - Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors

1.0 General Instructions

This acquisition is limited to qualified sources: a qualification package is required for new sources. See RFO Clause 52.209-1 for qualification requirements. PROPOSALS FROM NONQUALIFIED SOURCES WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED IF A QUALIFICATION PACKAGE IS NOT SUBMITTED AND ACCEPTED BY THE AIR FORCE ENGINEER PRIOR TO AWARD. CONTRACT AWARD WILL NOT BE DELAYED FOR QUALIFICATION.
The Government intends to award Basic IDIQ contract(s) to "all qualified" offerors for the MJU-76/B requirement. The unpriced Base IDIQ will be awarded concurrent with a Firm Fixed Price Delivery Order (DO). The Contracting Officer ("CO") has determined there is high probability of adequate price competition for DOs. Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will review this determination, and if in the CO's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost and pricing data will be requested, and certification under RFO 15.403-4 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition, the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the CO to determine the price fair and reasonable IAW RFO DFARS 252.215-7008. The government intends to award a delivery order to each successful offeror through a split-award of available funds; however, the government reserves the right to award contracts to all qualified offerors, only one offeror (winner-take-all), or no contract at all (none), depending on the number of adequate proposals and reasonableness of prices submitted.
The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested by this Instructions to Offeror (ITO) and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Technical Data Package (TDP), Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL), and Model Contract/Solicitation, etc. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the government's requirement but, rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the government has no prior knowledge of their facilities or experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented
