2.1  What to Include in Section L

Solicitation provisions and other information and instructions  in Section L  guide offerors in preparing their proposals.  Instructions on how to format the proposal into severable parts, such as mission capability, past performance, and cost, are often included.  Number of copies of paper and electronic versions of proposals to be submitted, page limitations, and similar information should be provided.  Only minimum instructions necessary for proposal preparation should be included.  Information to Offerors/Instructions for Proposal Preparation MUST be consistent with the award evaluation factors included in Section M. Upon award, both of these sections are removed and placed in the contract file; they do not become part of the contract.
