1. Responses to PPI:

Question No. 4

Basis for Award

QUESTION: In section M.1 Basis for Award, it is stated that this is “a competitive LPTA best value source selection.” According to the FAR, this wording seems contradictory and seems to be meshing two different types of source selection. Which will be utilized—LPTA or Best Value?

Answer: In accordance with FAR 15.101, Best Value Continuum, “An agency can obtain best value in negotiated acquisitions by using any one or a combination of source selection approaches. In different types of acquisitions, the relative importance of cost or price may vary. For example, in acquisitions where the requirement is clearly definable and the risk of unsuccessful contract performance is minimal, cost or price may play a dominant role in source selection. The less definitive the requirement, the more development work required, or the greater the performance risk, the more technical or past performance considerations may play a dominant role in source selection.”

In summary, LPTA is part of the “best value continuum”.

Question No. 5

Bid Guarantee

QUESTION: Since the ROM is $5M-$10M, the required amount for the guarantee seems low at $140,000. Is this amount correct?

Answer: FAR Clause 52.228-1 (c), is hereby revised as follows:

From: “The amount of the bid guarantee shall be 20 percent of the bid price or $140,000.00, whichever is less.”

To: “The amount of the bid guarantee shall be 20 percent of the bid price or N/A, whichever is less.”

All other terms, conditions, and requirements remain unchanged.
