Pages shall be formatted in a standard page style, without the use of columns. All pages in each volume shall be numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals for contents subject to page limitations or with lower case Roman numerals for contents not subject to page limitations (e.g., title pages, tables of contents, and acronym lists). Offerors shall tab each subsection within each volume for ease of reference. Tabs and dividers are not included in the page count limitations. (c) If final revisions are requested, separate page limitations will be specified in the Government's request for that submission.

Technical Understanding of Requirements Detail the technical approaches for providing products and services defined in the Fixed Price IDIQ Task Orders in Table L-3 and for the Cost Reimbursable IDIQ Sample Task Orders in Table L-4, and provide all assumptions and rationale used. Provide sufficient discussion to fully demonstrate understanding of the technical requirements for all Task Orders. Discuss all needed functions including enabling and facility support requirements, and cite the appropriate reference to the SOW of the contract to demonstrate the Offeror’s approach and rationale in executing the Task Order requirements. If products or services are required from other WSTF contracts, the Offeror must identify those resources and how they will be incorporated into the work flow and managed; however, assume for the purposes of this section that those services are provided (i.e. Offerors don’t have to estimate the cost of those services). Any services that the Offeror proposes to procure from outside of WSTF must be identified and included in the estimated costs. For both price and cost reimbursable task orders describe the processes used to accurately identify, monitor, and control technical risks associated with each specific Task Order. Identify those specific technical risks that the Offeror believes should be addressed relative to performance of work under all applicable sections of the SOW for that Task Order and discuss plans to mitigate or accept each risk. Basis of Estimate (BOE) & Efficiencies Explain the BOE by providing supporting rationale for all labor resources (FTEs and skill mix) proposed. Include a discussion regarding how the proposed FTEs were estimated. Also, include a discussion associated with any assumptions made regarding the requirements that led to the proposed resources such as: "we assume that a verification plan for the XYZ deliverables already exist and all we are responsible for is the maintenance of the plan." Include sufficient narrative discussion to convince the Government that the proposed resources are realistic for the proposed technical and management approach. For the Cost Reimbursable IDIQ Sample Task Orders, include with your narrative discussion a schedule and critical path for the proposed effort. Offerors are required to identify and include all non-labor costs for the Fixed Price IDIQ Task Orders. Offerors are required to identify and estimate any non-labor resources dollars for the cost reimbursable IDIQ portion of this contract. A narrative BOE shall be provided that depicts the Offeror’s
required to indicate the amount of effort proposed to be done by a small business either at the prime level or at the first tier subcontract level. The instructions regarding SDB participation apply to all Offerors. SBU1. Small Business Subcontracting – Small Business Subcontracting Plan Required by the FAR: (a) This solicitation contains FAR Clause 52.219-9, “Small Business Subcontracting Plan and its Alternate II”. The Plan described and required by the Clause, including the associated subcontracting percentage goals and subcontracting dollars, shall be submitted with your proposal via the Small Business Subcontracting Plan, (DRD-TEST-BP-02). (b) The Contracting Officer’s determination of the appropriate subcontracting goals for this acquisition are as follows: Small Businesses (SB) 23.0% Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns (SDB) (Includes SDB’s in represented and areas* 8.0% Women Owned Small Business Concerns (WOSB) 4.0% Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) 0.3% HUBZone Small Business Concerns (HBZ) 0.1% Veteran Owned Small Business Concerns (VOSB) 4.5% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns (SDVOSB) 3.0% *Although 15 U.S.C. 637(d) requires subcontracting plans to contain information about SDB concerns, case law prevents the Government from giving evaluation credit to business types based on race or ethnicity unless those businesses are in under- represented industries. The Section M evaluation for SDB participation ensures that the Government only evaluates participation of SDBs in
