Proposals submitted must consist of a clear statement of objectives, a technical section which should include, but not be limited to, background experience, concepts and ideas, methodology, expected contribution of the research to the Army mission, a Statement of Work (SOW) and milestones, a technical plan, a biographical section describing key personnel, a funding profile, a cost proposal, and a program management section. The cost proposal must include cost breakdown providing manhours by task, all pricing rates used, and equipment and materials listings, if applicable.

A copy of this provision may be obtained from the procuring office. Awards under this announcement are anticipated to be made prior to 31 March 1997. However, unless the offeror specifies a different expiration time, proposals will be considered valid for Government acceptance through 30 September 1997. NOTE: Funds are not presently available for these acquisitions. No contract awards will be made until appropriated funds are made available from which payments for contract purposes can be made. The Government anticipates multiple awards under this announcement, though no minimum or maximum number of awards can be guaranteed. The Government reserves the right to select for award any, all, part or none of the proposals received. Further, the Government reserves the right to select for award only a portion of an offeror's proposal (i.e. certain tasks vs total program). Multiple proposals from the same offeror that address different topics, that propose different solutions under a single topic, or that address only part of the problem under a topic will be accepted and evaluated independently. It is anticipated that contracts to be awarded will be cost-plus-fixed fee completion type contracts. The anticipated period of performance and contract values are stated in the individual topic description. This announcement is an expression of interest only and does not commit the Government to pay any response preparation cost. No pre-proposal conference is to be held.
