Voice-Over Slide Brief Presentation A pre-recorded Audio File (.mp3 format) voice-over slide brief with a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) file shall be submitted by each offeror to augment any or all Factor 1 Technical/Management Approach section elements (at the lowest element level) included in its written proposals and will be evaluated in conjunction with the written proposal and in accordance with its corresponding Section M criteria. Each offeror shall submit an audio file containing a narrated briefing accompanying the 75 slides, and presenting for no longer than a total of two and one-half hours (2.5 hours). The voice-over presenter(s) should use slides during their presentations (see below for slide count restrictions), and announce in the voice over the slide number and element they are augmenting to when transitioning between slides. Copies of the slide presentation is to be submitted with proposal submission. Slide presentations shall have page numbers and Section L element number and include a presentation cover sheet, proprietary data sheet, and presentation agenda with a time index of the slides. The presentation cover sheet, proprietary data sheet, and presentation agenda are excluded from the slide count. The slides submitted for the voice-over brief presentation must be no smaller than an 8 pt font with no margin restrictions and shall be submitted in Microsoft (MS) PowerPoint format (MS Office 2013 compatible). The printed hard copies of the PowerPoint presentation shall be in a standard 3-ring binder, printed in color, one slide per page, and with no notes. The voice-over audio file and slide presentation are to be arranged in the order of the elements it is augmenting. The offeror shall have each presenter identify which factor element is being discussed during the voice-over audio file and slide presentation. The offeror shall identify any and all proprietary items utilized during the voice-over presentation. Cost/Price data should be provided only in the Cost/Price volume of the written proposal and NOT as part of this brief presentation. The voice-over brief presentation shall include team members (e.g. program management, technical personnel) who will work or perform a key role on the Cyber TRIDENT effort. Identification of all speaker(s), along with their company name and position, shall be made at the start of the voice-over presentation. Offerors are advised that there shall be NO embedding of documents, hyperlinks, videos, or tool demonstrations incorporated in hard copies submitted or during the voice-over presentations. Slides which are not addressed during the voice-over brief presentation will be removed from the offeror’s proposal and not be considered as part of the proposal submission. Offerors shall not submit backup slides. If the information presented by the offeror during their voice-over presentation differs from the offeror’s submitted written proposal, a weakness or deficiency may be generated by the Government which may result in an unfavorable adjectival rating. Additionally, in the event of a discrepancy between the voice-over presentation and the written proposal, the digital (CD/DVD) copy of the written proposal will take precedence. The voice-over presentation shall be submitted in mp3 file format on a CD (Compact Disc). The voice- over brief presentation does not constitute an oral presentation as that term is defined in FAR 15.102.
