Questions received by July 14, 2022

Question 1: I am wanting to know if we have to send out the PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE for each zone or does one questionnaire (from any zone) work for all the different zones that we bid on?

Answer++ One Past performance questionnaire may be used for different IDIQ zones.

Question 2: Will the mock task orders be awarded? Or are they just for evaluation purposes only?

Answer The mock task order will not be awarded. They are for evaluation purposes.

Question 3: How many awards do you anticipate making per solicitation for each of the five manual fuels IDIQ's and the 5 mechanical IDIQ's?

Answer The BLM has not set a number of awards.

Per Section L.5: The BLM anticipates awards will be made to small businesses and large business and/or nonprofit organizations that provide the best value to the BLM.

Question 4: I'm trying to determine if all of the work for all of the solicitations is going to fall under NAICS 115310 $20.5 mil (11, 12, 13, 15, 16-20) or the 115310 $8 mil (#14)?

Answer All the work under all the IDIQ’s is NAICS code 115310 $20.5 mil.

Question 5: Are separate references required for each solicitation even though many are likely from the same source? That would entail the responder to submit 5 separate for manual and 5 separate for mechanical.

Answer:

One past performance questionnaire may be utilized for multiple IDIQ’s.

Question 6: We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?

Answer: The solicitations are all new requirements. There is no incumbent.

Question 7: I am wanting to know if you have a map that shows each zone for the projects? If you do, could you email me one or direct me where I can get it?

Maps have been provided for all mock task orders. The maps are at the end of the mock task order and before the past performance questionnaire. The IDIQ Zone map has also been included as Attachment 1.

Question 8: I am hoping you can clarify a few things for the projects. I have noticed that for the Manual Hazardous Fuels solicitations, they have a few inconsistencies, for example, 140L0622R0011 and R0012 they have different task orders but R0013,R0014, R0015 all have the same task order. Can you please let me know if this is how is supposed to be?

Answer

The solicitations may have different mock task orders (140L0622R0011 & 140L0622R0012) or the same (140L0622R0013, 140L0622R0014, and 140L0622R0015) The mock task orders represent the type of work that may be required. The same mock task order is used because the work in those zones is similar in nature and represents the work that may be required.

Question 9: Same goes for the Mechanical Hazardous Fuels. Same task order for 140L0622R0016 and R0017. 140L0622R0018, R0019,R0020 all 3 have the same task order.

The mock task orders represent the type of work that may be required. The same mock task order is used because the work in those zones is similar in nature and represents the work that may be required.

Question 10: Also are you looking to award all task orders or are they just for evaluation?

The mock task order are for evaluation purposes and will not be awarded.

Questions 11: Being these IDIQ’s are reserved for $20.5 size standard businesses (small businesses), would the small business subcontracting plan/disadvantaged business utilization plans not be necessary? Why would a small business need to make accommodations/plans to utilize another small business? Being we are already considered "small business" can we leave out the subcontracting/small business utilization plan?

Answer:

These requirements are full and open and not reserved for small businesses.

Per L.10.3: A Small Business Subcontracting Plan is required from Large Business only.

A Small Business Commitment Document is required by both Large and Small Businesses.

Per M.5.2 FACTOR 2: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION Small business offerors will receive the maximum credit for this evaluation factor and do not need to submit any documentation supporting this evaluation factor.

Question 12: There are mock task orders in multiple IDIQ’s that are the same? For instance, 0013, 0014, and 0015 have the same mock task order. Can we submit one proposal or would you like the identical proposal for each mock task order for each solicitation?

Answer:

The requirements for each solicitation are specific for the solicitation. Please submit all the documentation for each solicitation.

Question 13: We noticed in the Eastern Washington solicitation, #0015, the included mock task order has locations in Oregon? Is that correct? Will the Eastern Washington IDIQ cover Oregon locations as well?

The Eastern Washington mock task order represents the requirements that will be required in Eastern Washington, which are the same for Eastern Oregon. The Eastern Washington IDIQ will not cover Oregon. Please see the IDIQ Zone Map-Attachment 1 for the Eastern Washington Zone.

Question 14: The page limits for each volume, especially the past performance/references volume, may prove to be limiting due to the various types of work that are covered under each IDIQ. Is there a way you can increase the page limits for the past performance volume to 20 or 30 pages?

Answer:

The past performance page limitation shall not exceed 20 pages.

Question 15: How many awards do you plan on making for each IDIQ? The amount of money for each IDIQ will clearly max out any small business for the 5 year duration, let alone if multiple IDIQ’s were awarded to the same company. For example, Sol. #0013 is $145,000,000, over 5 years. Will there be enough awardees to provide support for each IDIQ?

Answer:

The BLM has not set a number of awards.

Per Section L.5: The BLM anticipates awards will be made to small businesses and large business and/or nonprofit organizations that provide the best value to the BLM.

Question 16: We noticed in the mechanical IDIQ’s (0016-0020) there is an abundance of manual/hand work. For example, 0018, 0019, and 0020 have the same mock task order with 5 projects included. 3 of the 5 have manual work, even brush planting, yet there is no line item in the main IDIQ solicitation with any hand work or planting line items to provide prices for?

Will there be opportunities for contractors like us to bid on that work as well? Or are these strictly mechanical treatments?

Answer The manual work included in the mechanical mock task order is an error. The mechanical mock task orders have been revised to remove the manual work. The revised mock task orders are included in the mechanical solicitation amendments.

Question 17: I was wondering about the Mechanical and Manual IDIQ's that came out on SAM for both Oregon and Washington. I see that there are mock task orders in the back of the solicitations. Are there any actual seed orders we need to place pricing on or do we just fill out the pricing schedule for the Base and Option years? For the technical proposal if there are no seed orders then we address the material in the Mock Task order correct?

Answer: There are no seed orders that require pricing. The price schedule should be completed for the base and option years. Please address the requirements in the mock task orders.
