a. This Concept Definition (CD) contract is the first
phase of a two phase competitive acquisition of a National
Missile Defense (NMD) Lead System Integrator (LSI) including: integration and prototype development and testing; maintaining
a deployment capability; and continued system development
towards an objective system. A subsequent single award will
be made for the LSI phase in which the contractor will perform
as the NMD Lead System Integrator.
b. The CD phase deliverables will be considered in the
competition for the LSI phase. The award criteria for the
LSI phase will include the successful completion of CD
c. The Government intends to establish a dialog with
industry for the LSI down-select. An LSI draft SOO, RFP
provisions, and evaluation criteria will be posted to the
LSI Home Page and the BMDO Acquisition Reporting Bulletin
Board (BARBB). CD Phase contractors will be expected to
participate in the development of the LSI SOO, evaluation
criteria, and solicitation provisions by submitting
constructive comments and recommendations.
d. The LSI phase proposal is not a deliverable item
under this contract. Instead, LSI phase proposals will be
requested from the CD contractors by the Contracting
Officer. The request for proposals will be issued at
approximately 90 days after award of the CD contract. The
RFP will specify the due date for proposals for the LSI
phase and provide all information for preparation of LSI
phase proposals, including the final evaluation criteria and
factors. It is anticipated that all CD contractors will
submit an LSI proposal. e. The projected schedule for conducting the LSI phase
down-select is provided below, but is subject to change and
does not commit the Government to complete a particular
action at a given time.
LSI Phase Request for Proposals - 90 days after CD contract
LSI Phase Proposals due - 130 days after RFP LSI Award - 145 days after receipt of proposals
H-2	INSURANCE

H-4	ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (OCI) a.	Purpose: The primary purpose of this clause is to aid in
(1) the Contractor's scientific objectivity and judgment
are not biased because of its present, or currently planned
interests (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise)
which relate to work under this contract;
(2) the Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive
advantage by virtue of its access to non-public Government
information regarding the Government's program plans and actual or
anticipated resources; (3)	the Contractor does not obtain any unfair
competitive advantage by virtue of its access to proprietary
information belonging to others; and
(4) all CD phase contractors have equal access to data
in the Contractor's possession in which the Government has or, upon
delivery, will have unlimited rights under the various element
contracts ("Government data").
b. Scope: The restrictions described herein shall apply to
performance or participation by the Contractor and any of its
affiliates or their successors in interest (hereinafter
collectively referred to as "Contractor") in the activities covered
by this clause as prime Contractor, subcontractor, co-sponsor,
joint venturer, consultant, or in any similar capacity. The term
"proprietary information" for purposes of this clause is any
information considered so valuable by its owners that it is held
secret by them and their licensees. Information furnished
voluntarily by the owner without limitations on its use, or which
is available without restrictions from other sources, is not
(1)	Preparing specifications or work statements: FAR
9.505-2(a)(3) provides that: In development work, it is normal to
select firms that have done the most advanced work in the field. These firms can be expected to design and develop around their own
prior knowledge. Development contractors can frequently start
production earlier and more knowledgeably than firms that did not
participate in the development, and this can affect the time and
quality of production, both of which are important to the
Government. In many instances the Government may have financed the
development. Thus while the development contractor has a
competitive advantage, it is an unavoidable one that is not
considered unfair; hence no prohibition should be imposed.
However, there remains the potential for key element
contractors to enter into a teaming agreement that might limit the
ability of other potential offerors to obtain access to Government
data developed under element contracts. While the Government
recognizes that teaming may be beneficial to meeting the
Government's acquisition goals, relationships that preclude access
to element level information could severely limit competition for
the NMD LSI acquisition. In order to maximize competition for the
CD phase and, therefore the government's potential for receiving an
optimal number of NMD concepts for consideration, NMD element
contractors are precluded from establishing exclusive arrangements
for the CD phase of the acquisition that would limit competition by
excluding other potential offerors access to Government data. Teaming contractors are required to share non-proprietary data and related information on the elements under
their cognizance gained at government expense with other qualified
potential LSI contractors. These elements include the Ground Based
Radar-Prototype (GBR-P), the Battle Management, Command, Control,
and Communications (BMC3) element, and two alternative
Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicles (EKV). In order to provide for fair
and equitable competition and to mitigate potential OCIs associated
with their prior work and experience with these elements, the
respective element contractors have agreed to provide all
legitimate offerors competing in the Concept Definition phase of
the LSI acquisition with available Government data and limited
technical support relating to the element under their cognizance.
TRW (SE&I) has agreed that the TRW employees who are
working in the program office located in Rosslyn, Virginia,
responsible for NMD Systems Engineering on or after the date of the
issuance of the final CD phase RFP will be isolated and ineligible
to participate in the CD phase. While element contractors will
provide limited technical support to the CD contractors, element
contractors will not be restricted in establishing teaming
arrangements for the CD phase or the LSI phase down-selection. In
addition, both TRW and Raytheon have agreed to negotiate, in good
faith, subcontractor relationships with the selected LSI phase
contractor to provide the BMC3 and GBR elements of the LSI phase
contract, no matter who is selected.
(2) Access To and Use of Government Information: If the
Contractor, in the performance of this contract, obtains access to
information such as plans, policies, reports, studies, financial
plans, or data which has not been released or otherwise made
available to the public, the Contractor agrees that without prior
written approval of the Contracting Officer, it shall not: (a) use
such information for any private purpose unless the information has
been released or otherwise made available to the public, (b)
compete for work, other than the LSI contract, based on such
information after the completion of this contract, or until such
information is released or otherwise made available to the public,
whichever occurs first, (c)submit an unsolicited proposal to the
Government which is based on such information after such
or (d) release such information unless such information has
previously been released or otherwise made available to the public
by the Government. (3)	Access To and Protection of Proprietary Information:
The Contractor agrees that, to the extent it receives or is given
access to proprietary data, trade secrets, or other confidential or
privileged technical, business, or financial information
(hereinafter referred to as "proprietary data") under this
contract, it shall treat such information in accordance with any
restrictions imposed on such information. The Contractor further
agrees to enter into a written agreement for the protection of the
proprietary data of others and to exercise diligent effort to
protect such proprietary data from unauthorized use or disclosure.
In addition, the Contractor shall obtain from each employee who has
access to proprietary data under this contract, a written agreement
which shall in substance provide that such employee shall not,
during his/her employment by the Contractor or thereafter, disclose
to others or use for their benefit, proprietary data received in
connection with the work under this contract. The Contractor will
educate its employees regarding the philosophy of Part 9.505-4 of
the Federal Acquisition Regulation so that they will not use or
disclose proprietary information or data generated or acquired in
the performance of this contract except as provided herein.
c.	Subcontracts: The Contractor shall include this or
substantially the same clause, including this paragraph, in
consulting agreements and subcontracts of all tiers. The terms
"Contract", "Contractor", and "Contracting Officer", will be
appropriately modified to preserve the Government's rights.
d.	Disclosures: If the Contractor discovers an
organizational conflict of interest or potential conflict of
interest after award, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in
writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall be made
on the OCI Analysis/Disclosure Form provided at Attachment 3 to the
contract, and shall include a description of the action the
Contractor has taken or proposes to take in order to avoid or
mitigate such conflicts.
e. Remedies and Waiver: (1) For breach of any of the above restrictions or for
non-disclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant facts required
to be disclosed concerning this contract, the Government may
terminate this contract for default, disqualify the Contractor for
subsequent related contractual efforts, and pursue such other
remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract. If, however,
in compliance with this clause, the Contractor discovers and
promptly reports an organizational conflict of interest (or the
potential thereof) subsequent to contract award, the Contracting
Officer may terminate this Contract for convenience if such
termination is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government.
(2) The parties recognize that this clause has potential
effects which will survive the performance of this contract and
that it is impossible to foresee each circumstance to which it
might be applied in the future. Accordingly, the Contractor may at
any time seek a waiver from the Director, BMDO, (via the
Contracting Officer) by submitting a full written description of
the requested waiver and the reasons in support thereof.
a.	Modifications: Prior to contract modification, when the
SOO is changed to add new work or the period of performance is
significantly increased, the Contracting Officer may require the
Contractor to submit either an organizational conflict of interest
disclosure or an update of the previously submitted disclosure or
H-5	ENABLING CLAUSE FOR NMD INTERFACE SUPPORT a. It is anticipated that, during the performance of
this contract, the Contractor may be required to support
meetings with other BMD Contractors and other Government
agencies. Appropriate organizational conflict of interest
agreements will be negotiated, by the Contractor, as needed to
protect the rights of the Contractor and the Government.
b. The Contractor further agrees to include a clause in
each subcontract requiring compliance with the provisions of
paragraph a. above, subject to coordination with the prime
Contractor. This agreement does not relieve the Contractor of
its responsibility to manage its subcontracts effectively, nor
is it intended to establish privity of contract between the
Government and such subcontractors. c. Personnel from BMD Contractors or other Government
agencies or Contractors are not authorized to direct the
Contractor in any manner. d. This clause shall not prejudice the Contractor or
its subcontractors from negotiating separate organizational
conflict of interest agreements with BMD Contractors; however,
these agreements shall not restrict any of the Government's
rights established pursuant to this clause.
H-6	ASSOCIATE CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP
In performance of its responsibilities for the NMD
program as described elsewhere in this contract, the
"contractor" shall enter into agreements with any NMD element
prime contractors and other contractors deemed appropriate to
perform this contract to facilitate timely exchanges of
information necessary to the performance of this contract. The agreements shall hold the Government harmless from
liability for the unauthorized disclosure by the contractor of
associate contractor proprietary information. H-7	TECHNICAL INTERCHANGE MEETINGS (TIMs) AND IN PROCESS REVIEWS (IPRs)
a.	Continued information exchange between the contractor and the
Government is critical to the success of the LSI effort. During the CD
Phase, the contractor shall participate in information exchanges as
1.	The contractor shall attend Technical Interchange
Meetings (TIMs) to convey general, technical and
management information relevant to the contract
objectives. TIMs will include participating
Government organizations, facilities, and element
contractors. The Government will organize the
2.	The contractor shall hold one formal In Process
Review (IPR) with the Government. The contractor
shall present results of the ongoing development
and report on contract performance at the IPR.
b. Current plans call for TIMs to take place in the
Washington, D.C. area, Hill AFB UT, and Huntsville AL. These
meetings will address program requirements, element status, and
facilities and resources available to the LSI. An additional TIM
will take place at a site visit to Grand Forks ND. All CD Phase
contractors will attend all TIMs. The TIMs will occur during the
first few weeks of the contract. The Government will organize and
present the TIMs. The Government will allow one hour at the first
TIM for each contractor to present competition sensitive data to
c.	The Government expects each contractor to hold an IPR in
the Washington area. Notional contents of the IPR are as follows:
(1) Overview of the Team
(2) Status of Effort
(3) Results of GBI Configuration Analysis
(4) Overview of NMD Planning
d. Contractors may present additional technical topics
deemed relevant to the Government's understanding of their
approach. The Government will provide a technical review at the
conclusion of the IPR. This review will only address concerns
with the technical material presented.
H-8	BMDO VISIT AUTHORIZATION PROCEDURES
a. The Contractor shall submit all required visit
clearances in accordance with Defense Investigative Service
Contractor Office regulations and will forward all visit
requests, identifying the contract number, to:
7100 Defense Pentagon, BMDO/ACC
Phone No.:(703)695-8048 FAX No.:(703)693-1526
b. The Contracting Officer's Technical Representative
is authorized to approve visit requests for the Contracting
H-9	ALL ITEMS TO BECOME PROPERTY OF THE GOVERNMENT
Title to all source data and materials furnished by the
Government shall remain with the Government upon completion of
this contract. Title to all plans, systems analyses, reports
and listings, and all other items pertaining to the work and
services to be performed and delivered under this contract are
considered to be "developed exclusively with government funds"
as defined in DFARS 252.227-7013 (a)(8) for which the
Government shall have "unlimited rights" as provided for in
DFARS 252.227-7013(b)(1). The Government shall have the full
right to use each of these for its purposes without
compensation or approval on the part of the Contractor. The
Government shall have access to and the right to make copies
of the above mentioned items. However, nothing in this clause
shall take precedence over the respective rights of the Government or the Contractor under the Section I clause of
this contract titled, "Rights in Technical Data -
Noncommercial Items" (DFARS 252.227-7013). H-10 COORDINATION WITH OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
In the performance of this contract, it may be necessary
for the Contractor to visit Government agencies to discuss
aspects of the work performed under this contract. The
designated COTR(s) will approve visit requests and coordinate
visits to Government activities in conjunction with this
contract. H-11 ABM TREATY COMPLIANCE
Compliance with the ABM Treaty will not be a criterion for
evaluation of a bid on the Concept Definition (CD) contract or
for the Lead System Integrator (LSI) contract award. If an NMD
system is deployed, it may well require amendment of the ABM
Treaty. Unless otherwise explicitly authorized, however, the
development of the proposed NMD system must comply with all
provisions of the ABM Treaty. An NMD system which if deployed
would require amendment to the ABM Treaty can be developed in
compliance with the ABM Treaty. Limitations on development
a.	Field testing of any component (ABM interceptor
missile, ABM radar, ABM launcher) must take place at declared ABM
test ranges. Currently the Government has two declared ABM test
ranges, White Sands Missile Range and Kwajelein Missile Range. Additional ranges may be declared under the ABM Treaty. In the
event the CD Phase contractor's development plan (IMP) calls for
additional ranges or modifications to existing ranges, specific
requirements and justifications should be included in CDRL A007
and in the LSI Phase proposal. b.	ABM systems or components (ABM interceptor missiles,
ABM radars, ABM launchers) which are sea-based, air-based, space-based, or mobile land based will not be field tested.
c.	ABM launchers capable of launching more than one ABM
interceptor missile at a time or having a rapid reload capability
will not be field tested.
d.	ABM interceptor missiles with more than one
independently guided warhead will not be field tested.
e.	Field testing must not give non-ABM missiles,
launchers, or radars capabilities to counter strategic ballistic
missiles or their elements in flight trajectory or test them in
an ABM mode. Modifications to existing configurations of non-ABM
missiles, launchers, or radars could make their use in NMD
development treaty compliant. Regarding booster options: the Government will conduct a
treaty compliance review following receipt of the trade studies. The Contracting Officer will provide timely guidance to the CD
Phase contractors prior to their submission of GBI
Regarding upgrades to existing Early Warning Radars and
forward based radars: the Government will conduct a treaty
compliance review of the CD Phase contractor's draft test
plans. If necessary, the Contracting Officer will provide
timely guidance to CD Phase contractors prior to their
submission of an LSI Phase program plan.
Treaty application and interpretation are governmental
functions. As needed, the Government will provide treaty
guidance supplementing the above throughout the execution of
both the CD and the LSI contracts. CD Phase contractors will
request treaty guidance in writing from the Contracting
Officer. The Government will ensure that any substantive
treaty guidance is provided to every CD Phase contractor
without compromising the competition. The Government's goal is
to assist every CD Phase contractor in proposing a treaty
compliant development program.
H-12	CHANGES OF ADDRESS OR QUANTITIES FOR DATA SUBMISSIONS
From time to time the Government may make changes in
office symbols, add or delete addressees, or change quantities
of data items in the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL). It is expressly agreed by the Government and the Contractor
that all addressee changes shall be accomplished by
administrative notice issued by the Contracting Officer at no
change in the contract price. It is further agreed that all
additions or deletions shall be accomplished by administrative
notice issued by the Contracting Officer at no change in the
contract price, provided that any increase(s) or decrease(s)
in individual data items does not exceed the greater of fifty
percent (50%) of the total quantity then called for in that
data item or a quantity of two (2).

test, or evaluation (RDT&E), to foreign governments or firms.
c. Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this provision,
any funds appropriated to, or for the use of, the DoD, may not be
used to enter into or carry out any contract, including any
contract awarded as a result of a broad agency announcement (BAA),
with a foreign government or firm if the contract provides for the
conduct of RDT&E in connection with the BMD. Foreign governments

contract is more beneficial to the foreign party, its share of the
costs should be correspondingly higher; or
(4) The U.S. Government determines that the contract
cannot be competently performed by a U.S. firm at a price equal
to or less than the price at which the RDT&E can be performed by a
foreign government or firm.

L-4	SPECIAL NOTICE TO OFFERORS
a.	Failure to submit any of the information requested by
this solicitation may be cause for unfavorable consideration.
b.	This solicitation neither commits the Government to pay
any costs incurred in the submission of the offer or in making
necessary studies or designs for preparing the offer, not to
contract for services or supplies. Any costs incurred in
anticipation of a contract shall be at the offeror's risk.
c.	Upon receipt, all proposals become Government property.
After contract award, one or more copies of each successful

L-6	PHASED PROCUREMENT USING COMPETITIVE DOWN-SELECTION PROCEDURES a.	This solicitation is for the acquisition of a National
Missile Defense (NMD) Lead Systems Integrator (LSI). The
acquisition will be conducted as a two-phase procurement using a
competitive down-selection between the CD Phase and the LSI
execution phase. Two proposals are requested for this
procurement, one for each phase.
b.	The first phase is for Concept Definition (CD) of the
NMD LSI. BMDO anticipates awarding up to three contracts for
this phase. The awards for the CD Phase will be based on
Proposal Number I, in which offerors must demonstrate: 1) the
ability to perform the LSI Phase of the contract including
evidence of relevant experience and past performance, and 2) an
acceptable approach for performing the CD Phase effort. A
subsequent single award will be made for the LSI Phase in which
the contractor will perform as the NMD Lead System Integrator.
c.	The competition for the LSI Phase will be based on the
results of the CD Phase contract and on Proposal Number II. The
award criteria for the LSI Phase will include the successful
completion of the CD Phase requirements. Submission of the LSI
Phase proposal is not a requirement of the CD Phase contract.
d.	The LSI proposals will be requested from CD contractors
by means of an RFP from the Contracting Officer, which is
currently projected for 90 days after award of the CD Phase
contracts. The RFP will specify the due date for proposals for
the LSI Phase and provide all information for preparation of the
LSI Phase proposals, including the final evaluation criteria and

factors for the LSI Phase LSI may be provided. Submission of
comments or recommendations is not mandatory. Any comments or
recommendations submitted will be considered by the Government
for inclusion in or revision to the LSI Phase evaluation
factors, but will not be considered for award of the CD Phase
L-7	PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS (PPI) FOR CD PHASE L-7.1	ACQUISITION STREAMLINING It is the intent of the Government to implement acquisition
streamlining principles in the LSI procurement. During the CD
phase, however, the contractor shall adhere to the Government's
proposed SOO, CDRL items and schedule in order that all
competitors for the LSI award perform similar work under this
phase. Offerors may apply Acquisition Streamlining to the LSI
phase as part of their process definition.
L-7.2	GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
a. Offerors responding to this RFP must include all
information and data requested and described herein. Failure to
submit any of the information requested by this RFP may be cause
for unfavorable consideration. Attachment 1 to Section L
includes a cross walk matrix for the LSI Concept Definition Phase
to assist offerors in identifying the relationships among
sections of, and attachments to, this RFP. Non-conformance with
the specified organization, content, and page limitations, or
significant unexplained inconsistencies may be cause for proposal
rejection. All claimed technical, management, performance, and
schedule capabilities shall be realistic and subject to
Government verification. The burden of proving credibility of
cost estimates rests with the Offeror.
b. Proposals must be clear, coherent, legible, and prepared
in sufficient detail for effective evaluation. Proposals must
clearly demonstrate how the Offeror intends to accomplish the
program and must include convincing rationale and substantiation
of all claims and assertions. Cross-referencing is permitted
within the technical/management section. Key points must be
easily located. Relevance, clarity, and conciseness of the
proposal are essential.
L-7.2.1 Proposal Submission
Proposals, in the quantities shown in paragraph L-7.2.2,
shall be submitted to the address in block 8 of the Standard Form
33 by the date and time specified on the Standard Form 33. In

L-7.3.5
*	Along with the hard copies, submit two sets of
identical high-density 3.5 inch disks in PC format capable of
being used on terminals using Windows 95. Include the narrative
information from these portions of the proposal (excluding any
classified information) as Microsoft Word files. Use one or more
files for each of the proposal documents. Include figures and
graphs not embedded in Word files as separate PowerPoint files. Affix a label identifying Offeror and RFP number and include a
hard copy index sheet cross-referencing file names to the above
listing. Submit the cost proposal in electronic format on a
separate disk in accordance with the instructions in paragraph L-7.3.4
L-7.2.3	Proposal Format and Content a. Paper. Use 8.5 by 11 inch paper, except as stated in
paragraph b below. All information (except for document numbers,
classification markings, proprietary legend, and page number)
must fall within an image area of 7 by 9 inches. b. Foldouts. Foldouts are limited to 11 by 17 inches. Each (or any portion of an) 8.5 by 11 inch equivalent page area
printed on front or back of foldouts shall count as a page.
Foldouts printed on one full side will count as two pages. All
information (except for document numbers, classification
markings, and page numbers) must fall within an image area of 9
by 15.5 inches. Foldout pages are allowed only for large tables,
figures, charts, graphs, diagrams, and schematics. Pages of text
on foldouts are not acceptable.
c. Margins. Use at least 1 inch margins on top and bottom
and three-quarter inch (3/4") side margins. Margins at the side
of the page near the binder will be sufficient to not impair
d. Page Count. Contractor may use both sides of paper.
Page limitations are maximums, not goals. Each page with any
printing or drawing on it will count toward the page limitations
unless it is: a blank page, title page, table of contents, list
of figures, list of tables, correlation matrix or cross-reference
list, tab (tabs may not contain text or graphics), divider,
acronym list, or glossary. Within the Technical/Management
Volume, information may be cross-referenced instead of being
presented twice. The Government will only read and evaluate
proposals up to the page limitations. In the event any Offeror
includes pages over the limitations, the extra pages will be
removed and destroyed before proposals go to the evaluators.
e. Volumes. Use a single binder for each volume and each
appendix. The only exceptions are for the Volumes IV and V if
multiple binders are necessary and classified supplement(s) as
described in paragraph I. below. Each volume should include a
Table of Contents in the front and an acronym list at the back. To facilitate evaluation of proposals, offerors shall prepare a
correlation matrix relating proposal content (volume and page
number) to SOO paragraph number, CDRL, the Section M Evaluation
Factors, and the Section L proposal preparation instructions.
f. Binding and Labeling. Use three ring binders with
spines. Staples are not allowed. (For the Cost
Proposal/Contract Documentation Volumes, do not bind the set
submitted that has the original signatures on Standard Forms 33
and 1448.) If both sides of the page contain information, the
bindings must permit the volume to lie flat when open. A cover
sheet shall be a part of or applied to each binder, clearly
marked as to volume number and title, copy number, RFP
identification (RFP number and name of solicitation), date of
submittal, and Offeror's name. As a minimum, the contractor
shall place the volume number, title, copy number and Offeror's
name on the spine of each binder. All unclassified volumes shall
have a binder color other than red or bright orange. g. Type.	(Please note that the type settings do not
apply to the Cost Proposal)
(1) Spacing. Use one and one-half line spacing
(no more than 5 lines per inch).
(2) Size. Use elite type size or equivalent (not
smaller than 10 point vertical character height and not more than
12 characters per inch). A proportionally spaced font is
permissible if the printed character height is at least 12-point.
Other than the exception for 12-point proportionally spaced
fonts, typesetting or other techniques to reduce character size
or spacing is not allowed and is considered a deliberate attempt
to circumvent page limitations. Two column presentation and use
of bold face type for paragraph headings are acceptable.
h. Illustrations and Tables. Legible tables, charts, and
graphs may depict organizations and systems, and may be used for
schedules, layouts, and plans. Text within figures must be
legible and at least six points in height after final reduction.
Text within figures may be single spaced. Figure titles must be
at least 10 points in height, not more than 12 characters per
inch, and all capital letters. i. Classified Information. Where classified technical
information is required, offerors shall provide a separate
classified supplement for each volume, appendix, or attachment
containing classified information. Each entry in the classified
supplement shall reference the proposal volume, paragraph, and
page number to which it applies. Similarly, the unclassified
volume shall contain a reference to the classified insert, cross
referencing the page and paragraph. Classified supplement(s)
shall be packaged separately for each proposal volume. They
shall have a red cover and shall conform to applicable security
regulations and the requirements in DoD 5220.22-M, "National
Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)." Pages in
the classified supplement(s) will count toward total allowable
page counts for any applicable volume, appendix, or attachment. Classified supplement(s) shall be submitted separately using
appropriate procedures for safeguarding classified information.
The submission times and dates for the unclassified portion of
the proposal also apply to any classified supplement.
j. Written Presentation. Offerors may use any presentation
form such as narrative, pictures, tables, graphs, drawings,
schematics to describe proposal information. Elaborate
documentation, detailed art work or other embellishments are
unnecessary and not desired. k. Cost and Pricing. Cost or pricing information or data
shall only appear in the Cost Volume and, as necessary, in the
Proposal/Contract Documentation Volume (but not in the
Exhibits/Attachments to this Volume).
l. Information Concerning Subcontractors. The Offeror
shall identify the allocation of work to specific subcontractors.
Any information about the offeror's capability and experience is
also required for all subcontractors.
m. Schedule Information. Schedule information throughout the

c.	Format and Content	Submit the Cost Proposal in two sections: Section One
includes the required Cost Formats and Section Two contains the
required supporting information. Submit costs using the Work
Breakdown Structure (WBS) at item number (3) below. If this WBS
does not match the offeror's approach, the Offeror must provide a
similar level of cost breakdowns using their own WBS. (1)	Section One, Mandatory Cost Formats: Cost Formats A
and B are computer spreadsheets designed to provide pricing
information in a standard format to facilitate analysis of Offerors
prices. Offerors may modify formats by inserting/deleting rows to
identify labor categories, indirect cost pools, subcontractors,
consultants, and interdivisional transfers. Nominal values have
been included in the spreadsheets to illustrate computations. Electronic versions of the formats are available in a version of Excel compatible with Windows 95 on the BARBB and LSI Home Page. Offerors must submit cost formats in hard copy form and in an
electronic format. Submit the electronic format on a 3.5" disk
using a spreadsheet format that can be read by a version of Excel
that is compatible with Windows 95.

expenditures for CLINs 0001 and 0003 and the total contract. (2)	Section Two, Supporting Information. Supporting
information shall present the offeror's rationale for costs shown
in the mandatory formats. To better explain and justify proposed
costs, offerors may also submit cost breakdowns using their own
formats. (a) General Estimating Methodology. Provide a
brief description of the estimating methodology used to propose
each major cost element. This description shall include direct
labor hours and skill mix, and rationale for determining WBS and
CLIN level costs; for example, top-down allocation, bottoms-up
estimate by WBS task. (b) Direct Productive Labor Hours. State the
number of hours per person per year used in pricing direct labor
costs. This hour figure should reflect total hours per person year
including any uncompensated hours less all hours estimated for
nonproductive time such as holidays, vacation, and sick days. (c)	Direct Labor Rates and Indirect Rates. Describe the direct labor rates and indirect rates used in pricing
the proposal. Provide the date and basis for proposed direct labor
rates, and identify any rates that are not consistent with the
offeror's normal estimating practices. Indirect rates should be
described in terms of whether they represent established indirect
pools, and whether they are company projections, currently being
negotiated with the DCAA/ACO, or reflect a Forward Pricing Rate
Agreement. Provide the date of the projection or agreement. Identify the offeror's fiscal year and if the proposed indirect
rates span two fiscal years, provide the rates for each year.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD M-1 EVALUATION SUMMARY
M-1.1 BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD
a. This is a competitive source selection using Air Force
Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) Appendix AA,
"Formal Source Selection Procedures For Major Acquisitions," as
a general guideline. The Government will award to the
Offeror(s):
(1) who is (are) deemed responsible in accordance with
the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR);
(2) who possesses the past experience, management, past
performance, technical, financial, and appropriate facility
capabilities to fulfill the contract requirements;
(3) whose proposal conforms to solicitation
(4) whose proposal is determined, after evaluation to
be most advantageous to the Government, cost and other factors
b. The Government intends to select up to three
contractors for this acquisition. However, the Government
reserves the right to award two contracts, one contract, or no
contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposal(s)
submitted and the availability of funds.
c. Section L of the RFP provides specific proposal
instructions and data requirements from each Offeror.
M-1.2 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR AWARD
In addition to evaluation of each Offeror=s proposal against
criteria specified below, the Government will consider:
a. Each Offeror's adherence to terms and conditions set
forth in Part I, The Schedule, and Part II, Contract Clauses of
b. Each Offeror's avoidance or mitigation of
Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI).
c. Each Offeror's possession of, or ability to obtain, a
Top Secret facility clearance.
d. Each Offeror's commitment to award subcontracts to
small disadvantaged businesses, small businesses, woman-owned
businesses, historically black colleges and universities, and
minority institutions as evidenced by the Offeror=s
M-2 EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS
M-2.1	Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation will
be evaluated in accordance with the criteria set forth in this
section. The proposals will be evaluated in three areas: Technical, Cost and Past Performance. Each area is separately
described below in greater detail. The factors within the
Technical area will be reviewed, evaluated, and rated by evaluators
who will use a color coded narrative evaluation system to rate
proposals and an adjectival narrative system to rate proposal risk.
Past Performance will also be rated on an adjectival narrative
basis. Cost will be evaluated in a narrative manner. Complementary to these evaluations, significant deficiencies
identified in the factors to be evaluated may be used as a basis
for eliminating a proposal from further consideration. The
objective of the evaluation is to determine which proposals offer
the best prospect for accomplishing the Government's requirement
and optimum attainment of the objectives of the program, cost and
M-2.2	The Technical area is significantly more important than
either Cost or Past Performance, which are of equal importance. A
deficiency in any of the three areas could constitute a basis for
rejection of a proposal. Award will be made to the Offeror(s)
whose proposal represents the best overall value for the
Government. The Government reserves the right to award to other
than the low Offeror. M-2.3	Offerors are reminded that unsupported promises to comply
with the contractual requirements will not be sufficient. Proposals must not merely parrot back the contractual
specifications but rather must provide convincing documentary
evidence in support of any conclusionary statements relating to
promised performance. Offerors are urged to insure that their
proposal is submitted on the most favorable terms in order to
reflect their best possible potential, since less than their best
potential could result in exclusion of the proposal from further
consideration and since the Government reserves the right to make
an award without discussions based upon initial proposals received.
The Offeror's proposal is presumed to represent his best efforts to
respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency, whether real or
apparent, between promised performance, manpower or cost should be
explained in the proposal.
M-2.4	The color rating to be used for evaluation of the factors
within the Technical area depicts the extent to which the Offeror's
proposal meets the evaluation standards and solicitation
requirements as follows: Color	Definition
Blue	Exceeds specified performance or capability
in a beneficial way to BMDO and has no
Green	Meets evaluation standards and any
weaknesses are readily correctable.
Yellow	Fails to meet evaluation standards;
however, any significant deficiencies are
Red	Fails to meet a minimum requirement of the
RFP and the deficiency is uncorrectable
without a major revision of the proposal.
M-2.5	Proposal risk adjectival rating system to be used for
evaluation of the Technical area relates to the identification and
assessment of the risks associated with an Offeror's proposed
approach as it relates to accomplishing the solicitation
requirements pursuant to the following definitions:
Likely to cause significant, serious
disruption of schedule, increase in cost, or
degradation of performance even with special
contractor emphasis and close Government
Can potentially cause some disruption of
schedule, increase in cost, or degradation
of performance. However, special contractor
emphasis and close Government monitoring
will probably be able to overcome
Has little potential to cause disruption of
of performance. Normal contractor effort
and normal Government monitoring will
probably be able to overcome difficulties.
M-2.6	Performance risk adjectival rating system to be used
for evaluation of Past Performance relates to the assessment of
an Offeror's present and past work record to ascertain
confidence in the Offeror's ability to successfully perform as
proposed. The Government will assess performance risk in the
Past Performance area using the following definitions:
High	Significant doubt exists, based on the
Offeror's experience or performance record,
that the Offeror can perform the proposed
Moderate	Some doubt exists, based on the Offeror's
experience or performance record, that the
Offeror can perform the proposed effort.
Low	Little doubt exists, based
on the Offeror=s experience or performance
record, that the Offeror can perform the
M-3 TECHNICAL FACTORS AND THEIR RELATIVE WEIGHTS
M-3.1 TECHNICAL FACTORS
The Technical area will be divided into four factors: (T-1)
Corporate Experience; (T-2) Management: Teaming/Staffing; (T-3)
Approach to Plan NMD System Integration; and (T-4) Approach to
Assess and Plan GBI Alternatives. The importance of Factor T-1 is
greater than Factor T-2, which is significantly greater than Factor
T-3, which is slightly greater than Factor T-4. Factor T-1: Corporate Experience
Relevant corporate experience will be determined based on the
Offeror's demonstration that the Offeror and its subcontractors
have, individually or collectively, the necessary capabilities and
infrastructure (e.g., facilities, processes), and have performed
major systems contracts similar to the effort described in the SOO.
Factor T-2: Management: Teaming/Staffing
Proposals will be evaluated to determine the adequacy of the
Offeror's management approach including the Offeror's
Teaming/Staffing. The contractor's management approach must
- the system program management requirements and approaches required by the NMD System, including integration
of/interaction with the Elements,
- an integrated and complete team structured for continuity of skills and knowledge to adequately perform the LSI mission, if selected,
- a management plan that is integrated across the team and
documents how it will provide adequate personnel for the CD
and LSI Phases,
- how the plan/approach adheres to sound management practices
(i.e., planning, staffing, budgeting, etc.), - how the approach is realistic and achievable through an
executable path for the NMD System program.
The personnel experience matrix and resumes submitted by the
Offeror will be evaluated to determine the level of relevant
experience of the offeror's team and key personnel in performing
Factor T-3: Approach to Plan NMD System Integration The Government will evaluate the Offeror's documented
understanding of the scope of the NMD program. The proposal should
clearly delineate how the deliverables and accompanying schedule
will be accomplished in order to generate an Integrated Master Plan
(IMP) and Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) during the contract.
Factor T-4: Approach to Assess and Plan GBI Alternatives
The Government will evaluate the Offeror's technical approach
to defining the Ground Based Interceptor (GBI) Alternative
Evaluation and GBI Alternative Recommendation for GBI alternatives
during the various LSI periods described in the SOO.
M-3.2 PAST PERFORMANCE AREA
The Government will evaluate the past performance of the Offeror
(including subcontractors). Past performance includes demonstrated
ability to meet contract:
Contractor performance evaluation may include comments on the
- anticipate problems,
- develop appropriate alternatives to avoid or mitigate
program impacts,
- demonstrate incorporation of any lessons learned from past
Offerors are to note that, in evaluating past performance, the
Government will use data provided by the Offeror, responses to past
performance questionnaires, as well as other performance information
obtained by the Government from Government and other sources. M-3.3 COST AREA
The cost evaluation will determine whether an Offeror's
proposed costs are realistic and complete in relation to the
solicitation and proposal Volumes I and II, and determine the
reasonableness of the proposed costs/price. a. Realism will be evaluated by assessing the
compatibility of proposed costs with proposed scope and effort.
Evaluation of cost realism will be made without regard to the
Government's anticipated contract value stated in Section L-7.3.4.
b. Completeness will be evaluated by assessing the level
of cost detail the Offeror provides in response to RFP
instructions and requirements in the statement of objectives,
and by assessing the traceability of estimates.
c. Reasonableness will be evaluated through cost and
price analysis techniques to ensure that the awarded contracts
represents the best value to the Government; and to determine
the Offeror's understanding of the work and ability to perform
the contract. Reasonableness will also be evaluated by
assessing the acceptability of the Offeror's methodology used
in developing the estimate. The evaluation may apply an
equivalent rental factor for any use of Government production
and research property that would otherwise impact the
comparability of proposals.
d.	The Government has established that successful offerors
will be awarded contracts at a firm-fixed-price of $8 million each.
Offerors will not obtain an improved price/cost evaluation by
proposing a contract price less than $8 million. Offerors will not
gain an advantage nor be penalized if their cost proposals total
more than $8 million so long as they acknowledge and stipulate that
they will accept the Government established contract price in full
payment for work completed and accepted, and that any costs
incurred in excess of the contract price will be borne by the
Offeror and not charged to the Government on this or any other
contract. The Government reserves the right to impute proposal
and/or performance risk on any cost proposals (including those that
are substantially higher or lower than the established contract
price of $8 million) if the proposed costs are determined to be
unrealistic, excessive, or otherwise unreasonable.
