OTHER SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: (a) This acquisition is a 100 percent set-aside for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)/Minority Institutions (MIs) as defined in DoD FAR Supplement (DFARS) 226.7003. Offers from other than HBCUs/ MIs are not solicited. Clauses 252.226-7000 and 252.226-7001 apply. The offeror must represent and certify, as part of its offer, that it is a Historically Black College or University or a Minority Institution as shown in DFARS provision 252.226-7001. A HBCU/MI submitting an offer on its own name shall agree that at least 50 percent of the cost of the contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the HBCU/MI. (b) Public Law 98-94 may be applicable to this program. Offerors must submit a DD Form 2345, Export Controlled DoD Technical Data Agreement, to the Commander, Defense Logistics Service Center, ATTN: DLSC-FBA, Federal Center, Battle Creek, MI 49117-3084, 1-800-352-3572, for certification. The offeror is required to submit a copy of the approved DD Form 2345, including the required certification acceptance, to the Buyer with each proposal. Failure to submit this certification shall result in non-consideration for award if it is determined to apply to the proposed effort. Certification is required before contract award. Offerors shall certify in their proposal that they will comply with all provisions of this law. (c) International Trade in Arms Restrictions may apply. (d) Proposals shall be valid for a period of not less than 180 days. 5. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. (a) Expected Award Date: No sooner than 1 Oct 95 but subject to change. (b) Type of Contract: Cost Reimbursement - No Fee utilizing the ''Short Form Research Contract.'' (c) FAR clause 52.216-7 will be utilized in lieu of Advance Payments. (d) Government-Furnished Property (GFP)/Contractor Acquired Property (CAP) are not generally contemplated for this effort. If your proposal incorporates requirements for materials, special test equipment, special tooling, and/or agency peculiar property, strong justification must be included which supports why it is in the government's best interest to provide each of these proposed property items. Also, each proposed property item must reflect the applicable type of property category among the four acceptable categories shown above and how it meets the FAR definition in FAR 45.101/45.301 for each category. Proposals should reflect the policy that contractors are required to furnish all property to perform government contracts since approval for facilities (neither CAP nor GFP) is not contemplated, i.e., contractors should not propose any property/equipment items which are not materials, special test equipment, special tooling, and/or agency peculiar property. (e) Individual contract awards are anticipated (but not limited) to reflect the amounts shown for each requirement as specified in each area subparagraph of the ''Requirements'' section above. For example, a funding amount of $20K annually is expected to be available for the total PL/LI requirement. However, as noted above, PL's funding situation is not stable, and any awards may be significantly below or above the anticipated funding. (f) Proposed periods of performance should reflect the funding constraints identified for the applicable area(s) unless the applicable technical point of contact agrees that the funding situation would allow for a different approach. 6. PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS: Offerors should apply the restrictive notice prescribed in the provision at FAR 52.215-12, Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data, to trade secrets or privileged commercial and financial information contained in their proposals. Additional proposal questions should be directed to one of the points of contact listed elsewhere herein. A technical and cost proposal, submitted in separate volumes, is required. Proposals shall reference the above BAA number, shall identify the applicable PL Directorates and shall identify the subject area of the proposal. A HBCU/MI may submit more than one proposal.

(b) Cost Proposal: The cost proposal/price breakdown shall be prepared in accordance with FAR 15.804-6 and shall be on an Standard Form (SF) 1411 or in a format which includes the same information needed to complete an SF 1411, together with supporting schedules and person-hour breakdown per task.
