(7) THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS ARE APPLICABLE TO THIS SOLICITATION:
L.2 FUNDING PROFILE
The funding profile below covers the basic effort (CLIN 0001), and data relating to CLIN 0001 (CLIN 0002) for the EELV Low Cost Concept Validation Module.
FY95* FY96*
$20M $100M
The Government will award up to four (4) Firm Fixed Priced contracts; total value of all awarded contracts will not exceed $120 million.
Concurrent with the release of the RFP to potential Offerors, HQ USAF, HQ AFMC, AFSPC, HQ USSPACECOM, and other Government agencies will be advised that a source selection action is in progress for the requirements of this RFP and that briefings to them by a participating Offeror or their representatives on the subject of the RFP are inappropriate during the period of selection and prior to the award of a contract. Recipients of this RFP are advised accordingly not to attempt such briefings during this period.
L.4 FUNDS AVAILABILITY
Funds for the first fiscal year (FY95) of the EELV Low Cost Concept Validation Module have been appropriated but are not available for obligation at the time of the RFP release. Funding requirements for the second fiscal year of Low Cost Concept Validation Module (FY96) were submitted to Congress in the 1996/1997 President's Budget. The Government reserves the right not to make contract award until release of the FY95 funds.
1.2 PROPOSAL BREVITY. The preparation instructions are intended to elicit brief, specific responses to the proposal; however, sufficient supporting information shall be provided to allow the Government to evaluate the Offeror's approach. Stating the Offeror understands and complies with this effort or paraphrasing the statements of the RFP is inadequate. Phrases such as: "Standard procedures will be employed" and "well known techniques will be used" are also inadequate.
1.3 Integrated Product Development (IPD). The program shall adopt the Integrated Product Development (IPD) philosophy. This approach will provide flexibility to the Contractor in conducting an effective Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) effort and give the Government visibility into the proposed efforts. Two of the major features of IPD are reviewed in this introduction.
1.3.1 The first major feature is an approach for planning the contract effort and preparing the contract documentation. The Offeror is provided with the following annexes to help in preparing the proposal and contractual documents:
RFP Annex A, Integrated Task and Management Plan (ITAMP) Instructions
RFP Annex B, Cross Reference Matrices
RFP Annex C, System Performance Document (SPD)
RFP Annex C-1, National Mission Model
RFP Annex C-2, EELV Transition Schedule
RFP Annex D, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Information
RFP Annex E, Government List of Objectives (GLO)
RFP Annex F, Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL)
1.3.2 The ITAMP identifies tasks, key events, significant accomplishments, and selective narratives necessary to accomplish the LCCV effort. The IMS corresponds to the ITAMP and shows the schedule necessary to achieve each significant accomplishment. The ITAMP and IMS will be used to track program progress. Detailed instructions on the preparation of the ITAMP are given in RFP Annex A.
1.3.3 The second major feature of the IPD approach is the use of Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) in implementing the event-driven plan described above. This involves a teaming of functional disciplines to integrate and concurrently apply all necessary processes to produce effective and efficient products that satisfy mission requirements.
1.3.4 Under the IPD approach, the system is subdivided into its products. The program is then organized into IPTs which are empowered and held responsible for the cost, schedule and performance of their specific product. Each IPT is given the authority to manage their product and allocate resources within the team. The IPT members represent all functions that have a role in the performance of the product, i.e., engineering, manufacturing, contracts, finance, logistics. The work tasking for each product is defined in the ITAMP.
1.4 REQUIREMENTS RESOLUTION. If the Offeror believes the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission or are unsound, the Offeror shall immediately contact the PCO in writing with supporting rationale.
1.5 CLASSIFIED PROPOSALS. The Government anticipates proposals will not require the inclusion of classified material. PCO approval is required prior to submission of any classified information. If it is necessary to include classified material (no higher than Secret), the classified portions of the individual proposal parts shall be submitted under a separate cover. Classified information generated for this proposal shall be submitted (hardcopy only) in accordance with DoD 5220.22-M Industrial Security Manual for Safeguarding Classified Information. Classified portions shall be counted against the total page count for the respective volume.
1.6 Unsuccessful Proposals. In compliance with FAR Subpart 4.8, the Government will retain one electronic copy or one hardcopy of all unsuccessful proposals.
1.7 SCHEDULE INFORMATION. The following information is provided for use in developing the top level EELV program roadmap referenced at Section L, paragraph 3.1.4.1.

1.8 EELV TECHNICAL LIBRARY. The EELV Technical library contains program reference information. It is the only location, except for the electronic bulletin board, where reference information is provided. The library is located at Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, in Bldg. 120, Room 1306. The process for accessing the library is outlined in the EELV Industry Library letter issued to Industry on 3 Feb 95. The library will close one calendar day prior to the Contractor proposal deadline.
1.9 PROPOSAL LANGUAGE. All proposal data shall be in English.
1.10 ALTERNATE PROPOSALS. The Government will not accept alternate proposals.
2.0 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION AND ELECTRONIC FORMAT 2.1 PROPOSAL DELIVERY INFORMATION.
2.1.1 Proposals in response to this RFP shall be submitted by 16 June 1995, 1500 hours Pacific Standard Time, addressed to Space and Missile Systems Center, 2435 Vela Way, Suite 1613, Los Angeles AFB, CA. 90245-5500 (Building 120/Room 1405), to the Attention of Major Cliff Bratten, Contracting Officer. Proposals received after the cutoff date specified herein shall be treated in accordance with restrictions of FAR 52.215-10. The Government requests Volume V, Relevant Past/Present Performance be submitted to the above address two weeks prior to the proposal submittal date. If early delivery of this Volume cannot be accomplished, submittal shall be with the proposal on 16 June 1995. (Do not resubmit this data on 16 June 1995 if it is submitted earlier.) Early delivery will not influence the evaluation.
2.1.2 The Offeror shall submit a basic LCCV module proposal not to exceed $30 million firm fixed price. The ITAMP and supporting instant contract cost data for the basic proposal must correspond to the proposed firm fixed price. The Offeror shall also submit an additive supplement to this proposal which, when added to the basic proposal, does not exceed $40 million firm fixed price. The additive supplement will address effort over and above that addressed in the basic proposal. For example, the Offeror may choose to do additional demonstration and/or trade study effort. In other words, the additive supplement shall not change any of the effort included in the basic proposal, only add to it. The ITAMP and supporting instant contract cost for the basic proposal plus additive supplement must correspond to the firm fixed price not exceeding $40 million.
2.1.3 The Offeror shall submit two electronic media copies (original and backup) and one paper copy of its proposal. Each copy shall contain both the basic proposal and the additive supplement. For the electronic media copies, the additive supplement shall be presented as a complete proposal (basic proposal plus additive effort) with the additions over and above the basic proposal highlighted using a different color. Use a black font for the basic proposal content and a blue font to reflect the additive effort. This will allow the Government to evaluate only the additive effort, yet still review this effort in the context of the overall proposal. For the paper copy, the additive supplement shall also be presented as a complete proposal printed in black and white (the additions over and above the basic proposal shall not be highlighted). The paper copy shall contain all required original signatures (the cover page of the proposed contracts, representations and certifications (Section K), and GFP/Base Support permission slips). Electronic media copies of representations and certifications and GFP/Base Support permission slips are not required. The "Additional Documents as Appendices to Volume III" (see Table 1 below) shall only be submitted with the basic proposal, unless the additive effort results in a change to any of these documents. In that case, only the change shall be submitted with the additive supplement. Any extra paper copies of proposals submitted will be destroyed. (Please note that by following these instructions, the Offeror will submit two complete paper copy proposed contracts (Sections A-J, Exhibit A, and all attachments), each with an original signature on the cover page of the contract. The basic contract shall not exceed $30 million firm fixed price, and the additive supplement (basic proposal plus additive effort) shall not exceed $40 million firm fixed price.)
2.1.4 A hardcopy transmittal letter may be used to forward the proposal to the EELV Program Office and may include an executive level synopsis of the proposal not to exceed four pages. This letter, including synopsis, will be used administratively and will not be evaluated.
2.2 PROPOSAL CONTENT. All volumes shall be self contained and not reference other volumes; to avoid duplication, the only exceptions are the Offeror may reference the SPD and art. For purposes of assessing compliance with the page count, proposals will be viewed using the print preview function of Microsoft Word 6.0 for the PC. Pages in excess of the maximum will not be evaluated. They will be deleted from the proposal and the extra hard copy pages returned to the Offeror. Documents such as a transmittal letter, table of contents, listing of figures, title page, index, and acronym list may be used and will not apply against the page count. Proposals shall remain valid for no less than 120 calendar days from the date they are to be received. Submit proposals as follows in Table 1 below:

2.3.1 GENERAL. Proposals will be read and evaluated electronically. This section is intended to provide information to the Offeror on the electronic format and application software to be used for submitting proposals. Use of the software and procedures described in this section will be of assistance to the EELV Program by reducing the amount of time and effort needed to receive and install proposals onto the electronic evaluation system, and will help to ensure the proposals received are suitable for reading electronically. The EELV Program is soliciting the cooperation of the interested Offeror, and in no way should any information regarding electronic products listed below be construed as a Government endorsement for such products.
2.3.1.1 If there is a need to embed other application objects into the proposal (e.g., MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, MS Project) the Offeror shall use the "Insert Object" function offered in MS Word 6.0 for the PC. Do not link files together. The Government will evaluate each proposal in the print preview mode of MS Word 6.0 for the PC and the evaluators will only evaluate the embedded object as it appears in this mode.
2.3.1.2 The Offeror shall not embed sound or video (e.g., MPEG) files into the proposal documents. The evaluation system will not incorporate a capability to read these files and these files slow the scroll rate. Graphics which are embedded into documents should be kept as simple as possible. Computers require more processing time to draw and redraw complicated figures, and scrolling through the document is slowed significantly. Suggestions include:
a. Limit colors to 256 colors at 1280x1024 resolution; avoid color gradients.
b. Simplify the color palette used in creating figures.
c. Be aware of how large graphics files become; large files are discouraged.
d. Avoid scanned images.
e. No foldouts.
2.3.2 OPERATING SYSTEM AND APPLICATIONS. The proposals will be accessed via Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server/Windows for WorkGroups network. Proposals shall be submitted using Microsoft Word 6.0 for the PC.
2.3.3 ELECTRONIC MEDIA. Contractors shall submit their proposals on either 3.5 inch MS-DOS Double Sided High Density DSHD formatted disks, IBM (MS DOS) formatted at 1.44 megabytes, Bernoulli disk cartridges, 150 meg or smaller MS-DOS formatted disk using the IOMEGA drivers, or on single/dual speed CD ROM. There is no limit to the number of files or disks which can be submitted, as long as the page requirements of paragraph 2.2 of this section are met.
2.3.4 FONT AND PAGE SETUP. Text Font will be Times New Roman, 12 point vertical character height and no more than 12 characters per inch, black and single space. The additional text for the additive supplement shall also follow these conventions, except the text shall be blue instead of black. Kern modification or other techniques to reduce character size or spacing are prohibited. All text within illustrations and tables shall be legible and at least 8 points in height. Text within figures may be single spaced. Figure titles shall be at least 10 points in height. These restrictions do not apply to the forms provided by the Government in this RFP and included in the EELV contract(s) (Standard Form 33, DD Form 254, DD Forms 1423-1, DD Form 1664). The page limitation is based on 8.5x11 "paper" with 1" margins on all sides and page set up 100%.
2.3.5 PROPOSAL TESTING. The Offeror will be allowed to test the proposals on the Government's hardware configuration from 18 May 95 to 2 June 95. Each Offeror will have up to two hours available for any testing required. Starting on 18 May 95, contact Major Cliff Bratten, Contracting Officer, to schedule an appointment.
2.3.6 FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS. If files become too large, and multiple files are required, name the files sequentially (e.g., b4a_1.doc is first file, b4a_2.doc is second file). For delivery purposes, submit the basic proposal under directory name EELV30 and the additive supplement under directory name EELV40 on a CD-ROM or Bernoulli Drive, or on separately labeled 3.5 inch disks. The additive supplement proposal files are the basic proposal plus additions clearly displayed using a MS Word 6.0 Font color of BLUE. Files shall be named in accordance with Table 2 below:

3.0 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. No cost or pricing data shall be included in any volume except Volume III (Model Contract portion) and Volume IV, Cost. In Volumes I and II, the Offeror may indicate where and how cost reductions will be achieved. However, LCCE numbers or instant contract pricing numbers shall not appear in these volumes. Percentages are acceptable.
3.1 Volume I - COST REDUCTION APPROACH. This volume pertains to the Offeror's total EELV program. This volume shall include five sections:
3.1.1 SECTION 1 - CONCEPT VIABILITY
3.1.1.1 Describe the proposed evolved system concept including the launch vehicle and ground segments (including infrastructure and support systems). Identify and describe the major components/subsystems of the proposed concept.
3.1.1.2 Identify and describe (as applicable for the concept) the proposed modifications to the existing launch systems, the application of major vehicle subsystems, and the use of new systems/components/subsystems. For previously developed hardware and software, discuss its adequacy for use in the EELV system.
