Will the Government please confirm if Representatives and Certifications (Reps and Certs) are required with the Offeror’s proposal?

If so, should Offerors submit the Reps and Certs as a stand-alone file or as an appendix to the Technical Volume of the proposal?

Any Representations and Certifications in the solicitation that are not filled out electronically should be submitted as part of the cover letter.

Page Limits Pg. 48; Part

IV.D.1

A page limit for the Technical Volume is referenced but not provided. Will the government please provide a page limit requirement for each volume?

The information stating the cover letter does not count towards the page limit is a typo. There are no page limits.

Pg. 49, Part IV.D.2; Pg. 52, Part V.2.2

In the RFP instructions, the government states the following for Past Performance: “No contractor submittal is required. The Government will review CPARS and other sources for past performance information.”

However, in the Evaluation criteria, the government states the following: “The Government will review the Contractor’s past performance submission for recency and relevancy.” Will the government please clarify the submission requirements for the Past Performance Instructions/Evaluation?

There is no submittal required. The evaluation section will be updated to clarify this by removing the reference to a Contractor past performance submission.

Part I – The Schedule:

Solicitation Notes

Pt. I.4, pg. 1 Will the Government please confirm if the General Information section is required with the Offeror’s proposal? If so, should Offerors submit the information as a stand-alone file or as an appendix to the Technical Volume of the proposal?

Pt. II- Contract Clauses

Pt. II-pg 18 (ii),

pg. 20 “not to paragraphs (c) (9) and (10)”, pg. 24 (h)Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters

The solicitation makes several references to not exceeding a simplified acquisition threshold, can the Government please confirm the minimum threshold at which a repair requires additional approval documentation?

This procurement is conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. These items refer to the total value of any resultant contract not individual repairs.
