About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for RFQ 140LL027Q0006, a new plant materials development and seed-increase requirement for the Upper Colorado Environmental Plant Center in Meeker, Colorado. The requirement involves late-stage development and commercial release of materials currently in production, with no incumbent contractor.
The contract includes CLINs 00010 and 00020, with anticipated pricing of two 0.13-acre production units per material for the first and second performance years, and one 0.13-acre production unit per material for years three and four. Materials currently held at the Upper Colorado Environmental Plant Center will be transferred upon award, with G1 or later material transfer or G0 seed furnishing to be negotiated post-award. There is no geographic location requirement for seed-increase fields, though location may factor into Technical Evaluation Factor 3. Responses are limited to a maximum of 10 pages total for Parts I and II combined. The Government declined to extend the quote due date beyond December 1 to preserve continuity of the ongoing development process. Key personnel and experience for Technical Evaluation Factors 1 and 2 must come from the prime contractor, not subcontractors, though offerors may team with any subcontractor for field production work. Technical Evaluation Factor 2 concerns plant materials development and seed-increase work experience.

Q. Is this a new requirement or a follow-on? If a follow-on, please identify the incumbent contractor, the prior contract number, and the prior award value.
A: This is a new requirement.
Q: Task 8.2 refers to maintaining "existing evaluation and seed-increase fields." Who currently holds those fields, and will they or any G1 material be transferred to the awardee? If not, what quantity of G0 starter seed will the Government furnish for each accession?
A: The requirement is for late stage development and commercial release of materials currently in production.
Whether or not the offeror is capable of performing the requirement specified in Task 8.2 will affect Technical Evaluation Factor 3. These materials are currently in production at the Upper Colorado Environmental Plant Center in Meeker, CO. Transfer of G1 or later material or furnishing of any remaining G0 seed would be negotiated upon award.
Q: CLINs 00010 and 00020 do not list quantities. How many 0.13 acre production units per material are anticipated in each performance year? Will a pricing schedule be provided?
A: It is anticipated that (2) 0.13 acre production units of both 00010 and 00020 will be priced for the first and second years, and that (1) 0.13 acre production units of both 00010 and 00020 will be priced for the third and fourth years.
Q: May an offeror team with a similarly situated small business subcontractor that performs the field production work? If so, will that subcontractor's experience and key personnel count toward Factors 1 and 2?
A: No. However, Offeror can team with any subcontractor, the key personnel and experience in Factors 1 and 2 should be from the prime contractor and not the subcontractor.
Q: Must the seed-increase fields be located in Colorado or within a specific seed zone?
A: Not necessarily. There is no requirement in the PWS that specifies a location of production. However, location may factor into Technical Evaluation Factor 3.
Q: Given the December 1 planting deadline, would the Government consider extending the quote due date?
A: No. The requirement is for late stage development and commercial release of materials currently in production extending the quote due date would jeopardize the continuity of an ongoing development process.
Q: The RFQ mentions a maximum page limit, but none is stated. Please confirm the page limits for Part I and Part II, if any.
A: The maximum page limit of 10 pages total for both Part 1 and Part II
Q: Factor 2 references experience with "well restoration projects." Please confirm this should read plant materials development and seed-increase work.
A: This is for plant materials development and seed-increase work. Factor 2 updated.
