an award is made based upon this information, the offeror shall notify OPM of
any post award substitutions/additions. The Contractor shall provide OPM

the substitution/addition of the proposed change.
Subcontracting/CTA/Joint Venture (JV) is NOT required in order for an offeror
to submit a proposal response, and/or be awarded a contract. However,
offerors may consider subcontracting/CTA/JVs that are in accordance with

offeror and subcontractors as a single entity. Therefore, the prime contractor
must demonstrate the capability of performing the required services. Postaward changes shall not be considered.
Rules concerning CTAs: The Government considers team members to be
separate entities. Therefore, the team members must demonstrate the
capability of providing/performing the required products/services. However,
the Team Lead commits to meeting all requirements of this solicitation and
the proposed technical response. Post-award changes shall not be
considered.
Rules concerning Joint Ventures: A Joint Venture is equivalent to a single
entity and will be considered as one (1) company. Offerors proposing as a
Joint Venture shall submit their agreement. Post-award changes shall not be
considered.
