Cost Information is revised as follows: ?All pricing information shall be rounded to the nearest penny.? 2) Section VI. PROPOSAL PREPARATION, C. Volume I - Technical Proposal, 1. is revised as follows: ?1. Page Limitations: The technical volume shall not exceed 40 pages for Integrated Technical/Management Arrangement proposals, and 25 pages for Independent Research and Development Project proposals. A page is defined as 8 ? x 11 inches, single-spaced, with one-inch margins, and type not smaller than 12 points. A smaller font is allowed for tables and figures. Each page of the technical volume shall be counted except the following:? 3) Section VII. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL PROPOSALS, A. Supplemental Proposal and Contract/Agreement Documentation, is revised to add Paragraph 9. Statement of Work as follows: ?10. Statement of Work. Provide a SOW approximately 3-5 pages in length that is a separate and distinct document suitable for incorporation into the procurement instrument. Do not put proprietary data or markings in the SOW. Format shall be as follows: 1.0 Objective 2.0 Scope 3.0 Background 4.0 Tasks/Technical Requirements 1st sub-level 4.1 Task 2nd sub-level 4.1.1 Sub-task 3rd sub-level 4.1.1.1 second level sub-task 5.0 Other to include Contract Data Requirement Lists (CDRLs) and other deliverables To assist the Government in the preparation of the contractual SOW, the offeror is required to submit a proposed SOW which accurately describes the work to be performed. The proposed SOW must contain a summary description of the technical methodology as well as the task description, but not in so much detail as to make the SOW inflexible. The following is offered as the format for the SOW. (1) 1.0 - Objective: This section is intended to give a brief overview of the specialty area and should describe why it is being pursued, and what you are trying to accomplish. (2) 2.0 - Scope: This section includes a statement of what the SOW covers. This should include the technology area to be investigated, objectives/goals, and major milestones for the effort. (3) 3.0 - Background: The offeror shall identify appropriate documents that are applicable to the effort to be performed. This section includes any information, explanations, or constraints that are necessary in order to understand the requirements. It may include relationship to previous, current and future operations. It may also include techniques previously tried and found ineffective. (4) 4.0 - Tasks/Technical Requirements: (a) This section contains the detailed description of tasks which represent the work to be performed which are contractually binding. Thus, this portion of SOW should be developed in an orderly progression and in enough detail to establish the feasibility of accomplishing the overall program goals. The work effort should be segregated into major tasks and identified in separately numbered paragraphs according to the decimal system above. Each numbered major task should delineate, by subtask, the work to be performed. The SOW must contain every task to be accomplished to include a schedule. (b) The tasks must be definite, realistic, and clearly stated. Use ?shall? whenever the work statement expresses a provision that is binding. Use ?should? or ?may? whenever it is necessary to express a declaration of purpose. Use ?will? in cases where no offeror requirement is involved; e.g., power will be supplied by the Government. Use active voice in describing work to be performed. (c) Do not use acronyms or abbreviations without spelling-out acronyms and abbreviations at the first use; place the abbreviation in parenthesis immediately following a spelled-out phrase. (d) If presentations/meetings are identified in your schedule, include the following paragraph in your SOW: ?Conduct presentations/meetings at times and places specified in the contract schedule.? (5) 5.0 - CDRLs/Other Deliverables: (a) The CDRL serves as the contractual definition of the data item deliverables the contractor is required to generate under a contract. The CDRL spells out the information to be contained in the data and the frequency of submission of the data. Data requirements are not necessarily limited to technical information; they may be periodic reports such as monthly progress reports or cost reports; project or test results reports; manuals; briefings; etc. (b) Describe other deliverables that offeror proposes to provide to the Government such as hardware, software, etc. 4) Section VII. PROPOSAL EVALUATION A. Selection Process Overview 1. First-Tier review is revised as follows: ?A. Selection Process Overview Evaluation of proposals will be accomplished in a two-tier, peer or scientific review process. 1. The first-tier is a scientific peer review of proposals as follows: For individual research and development projects, a review is first made of the research summaries as required in Section VI. PROPOSAL PREPARATION, G. 1. Only the proposals for those research summaries that are most highly qualified will then be evaluated in accordance with the stated evaluation criteria. The evaluation criteria, listed Section G, are specific to the respective approach that is proposed. Integrated Technical/Management Arrangements will be evaluated in accordance with the stated criteria.? 5) Section VIII. PROPOSAL EVALUATION is revised to add paragraph E. Past Performance as follows. ? E. Past Performance Proposers without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.? 6) Section IX. GENERAL INFORMATION is revised to add paragraph J. Notification to Proposers and Debriefs as follows: ?J. Notification to Proposers and Debriefs Proposers will be notified of the status of their proposal in writing and may be provided a debrief upon completion of the award process.?
