Description: INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION AND SUBMITTAL OF PROPOSALS: Guidance provided in this section applies to submission of proposals under this Announcement. Offerors may submit proposals that address different topics or propose different solutions under a single topic and each will be evaluated independently. Offero rs may also submit proposals that address only part of the problem under a topic. The proposal shall consist of two volumes, a technical volume and a cost volume. In presenting the proposal material, prospective Offerors are advised that the quality of the information is significantly more important than quantity. Offerors should confine the submissions to essential matters providing sufficient information to defin e their offer and establish an adequate basis for the Government to conduct its evaluation. AATD encourages and promotes teaming arrangements with research organizations to include academia, industry, and small businesses in order to achieve a mix of rele vant expertise and capabilities for executing research and development efforts. Proposals should be marked with the solicitation and topic number. TECHNICAL VOLUME: The technical volume shall provide detail that justifies the selection of the technologies proposed to include benefits of the proposed technology relative to the topic objectives. A plan to develop and transition the technology to curr ent or future Army aircraft shall also be included. The technical volume shall include a clear statement of the technical objectives and the specific approach to be pursued and supporting background experience. It shall contain a Statement of Work (SOW), m ilestones, a biographical section describing key personnel, a description of the facilities and/or data sources to be employed in the effort, and a program management section. Offerors shall identify and substantiate the beginning and ending Technology Rea diness Levels. The Technical Volume shall not exceed thirty (30) pages in length (minimum 12-point font). Page limitation includes any drawings, charts, etc., and excludes section dividers, table of contents, list of figures/tables, glossary of terms and cross-referencing indices (all of which are not considered content pages). COST VOLUME: Within the Cost Proposal, offerors shall identify the proposed funding instrument (e.g., FAR-based contract and type (cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost reimbursable, etc.) or Technology Investment Agreement (TIA)). For consistency, the offeror shall submit other than cost or pricing data in the format suggested by FAR 15.403-5(b)(1), or in contractor?s format containing the information outlined below, together with supporting breakdowns. The supporting schedules may include summary level estimating r ationale used to generate the proposed costs. Information such as historical cost information, judgment, analogy to other similar efforts, etc. are generally accepted methods of projecting labor expenditures. Purchase order history, catalog prices, vendo r quotations, engineering estimates, etc. are generally accepted methods of projecting material requirements. The cost proposal shall not contain overflow of information suited for the technical proposal. The offeror shall assure any overlap of data, (su ch as man-hours) does not conflict between the cost and technical proposal. In the case of any conflict between the two, information in the cost proposal will take precedence. The Cost Proposal should include the following: (1) Funding. A funding profile by month and Government fiscal year (Oct?Sep). If proposing a cost share, display that share with the particular government funding and fiscal year. (2) Proposal Validity Period. Include date that proposal expires. Proposals will only be considered for award as stated in General Information and only during the stated validity period. (3) Pricing breakdowns. The Cost breakdowns shall be presented in three formats; a) Total Program L evel. Present all costs by cost category (including applicable rates and factors) by year (calendar or contractor year used to develop proposed rates and factors). b) Task Level. Present all costs by cost category by task level by Government fiscal year. c) If proposing a cost share, display each share for each Government fiscal year. (4) Subcontractor Costs: The offeror shall submit all subcontractor cost proposals and its proposal analyses with the cost proposal. Subcontractor proposals, if applicable, shall include all the same pricing requirements and be provided concurrent with the prime contractor?s submission or due to any proprietary nature of the proposal, the subcontractor can submit the more detailed proposal directly to the Government. (5) Facilities Capital Cost of Money: If Facilities Capital Cost of Money is claimed, a properly executed DD Form 1861 is required in support of the dollars proposed. Provide Separate Summary Tables for the following cost elements: (1) Man-hours. Provide a summary table that shows man-hours by task without cost detail. Assure these documented man-hours do not conflict with the proposed man-hours in the technical proposal. (2) Rates and Factors: Provide a rate table by year for all labor and overhead rates and pricing factors. If Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) is in existence, that should be included, along with the Administrative Contracting Officer?s (ACO's) conta ct information. (3) Other Direct Costs. Provide a summary table by task that reflects all proposed direct costs by cost categories. For example: Travel. Provide a summary table of destinations, number of trips, traveler?s days, and unit prices for airfare and per diem for proposed travel. Material/Equipment: For material costs identify what will be purchased and the basis for the estimated cost, e.g. vendor quote, engineering estimate, etc.
