the award decision). Therefore, so that the Agency can properly evaluate the offers

received, all proposals submitted in response to this RFP must be formatted in

accordance with the sequence noted within the table below. Each category must be

separated by numbered index dividers (which number extends so that each tab can be

located without opening the proposal) and labeled with the corresponding tab reference

also noted below.
