6.1  Solicitation Provisions

(Describe the evaluation factors and subfactors and their relative order of importance by attaching the evaluation criteria (Section M or equivalent provisions of the solicitation).  See Attachment 4 "Section L - Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors," and Attachment 5 "Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award."  These documents describe the instructions for proposal preparation, the factors and subfactors and their relative importance, and the evaluation criteria.

(Note: Ensure these provisions in the solicitation are verbatim from Attachments 4 and 5 of the approved SSP.  IAW MP5315.3, paragraph 4.3.3.6, Section L is only attached if SSA desires, revise this paragraph accordingly.  Recommend addressing in this paragraph the procedures involved when changes are made to Section M and/or L, if applicable, and whether or not SSP should be amended.  For example:  "Changes to Section L by solicitation amendment do not require amendment of the SSP, however changes in Section M require amendment to the SSP and approval by the SSA before a solicitation amendment may be issued.")
