The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested herein and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Non-conformance with the instructions provided and/or failure to meet terms and conditions of the RFP requirements may result in an offer being ineligible for award. L.1.2. All proposal documentation in response to this solicitation must be submitted in the English language to include notarized summary translations of all documents.
L.1.3. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal must not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, 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 experience and will base its evaluation solely on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.
L.1.3.1. Proposals must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the nature and scope of work required. The Government will not search for data to cure problems or address inconsistencies in proposals. Each offeror shall submit a complete proposal in accordance with these instructions. The Government may consider any failure to comply with these instructions to be indicative of what could be expected from an offeror during performance and may consider it a weakness of the proposal. Statements such as "will comply," "noted and understood," "in accordance with industry best practices/standards," etc. without supporting narrative are not acceptable. Cursory responses or responses that merely reiterate or paraphrase language from the RFP will not be considered to satisfy the requirements of the RFP. L.1.3.2.
