36C25518Q0199 – SPECIAL MODE TRANSPORTATION – QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question 1: I was curious if this RFP is available for a joint venture?

Answer 1: Per FAR 9.6, The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor team arrangements; provided, the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in an offer or, for arrangements entered into after submission of an offer, before the arrangement becomes effective.

NOTE: The solicitation is a SDVOSB Set Aside and the Limitations of Subcontracting does apply.

Question 2: Can you direct me where I can find the previous award or can you send that to me?

Answer 2: The last contract was awarded to Owl, Inc with contract number VA255-17-C-0193. You can view the dollar value on FPDS.gov.

Question 3: You would like the new vendor to take over trips on 4/1/18 or that’s when the award will happen?

Answer 3: The new contractor will take over trips on 4/1/18.

Question 4: I was hopeful if you can explain to me what will happen if a qualified SDVOSB is not found to be able to bid on this? Can this “set aside” be removed? If yes, then when would this occur?

Answer 4: If a qualified SDVOSB is not found additional market research will be conducted to determine whether or not it will be set it aside for a VOSB or a small business. The time frame is not available at this time.

Question 5: Do you have a sample of how the response should be formatted?

Answer 5: In order to provide full consideration of qualifications for contract award, offerors are encouraged to ensure that the information furnished in support of the technical response is factual, accurate and complete.

Offers are to be submitted in two parts: 1) a price response and 2) a non-price price response to the evaluation factors. Both responses are to be submitted together; however, the non-price and price responses shall be separated into two severable parts. The pricing response shall consist of the signed Standard Form (SF) 1449 and completion of the price schedule(s). The non-price response shall address the non-price evaluation criteria. The quotes shall be submitted in the following manner:

(b) The cover page shall include the name and address of the organization submitting the quote and point(s) of contact to include e-mail address and phone number. The point of contact shall have the authority to bind and make representations for the organization relative to the quote and any contract resulting from the quote.

(c) The technical portion shall be submitted with no identifying marks indicating the company name or any identifying product other than on the cover page. The non-price response to the quote shall not have any reference to price and/or cost. These items are to be included in only the price response which includes the SF 1449 and the price schedule.

Question 6: Is there any issues/problems from previous awards that you would like the winner vendor to avoid?

Answer 6: The current contractor has performed satisfactorily.

Question 7: Why was the previous vendor not able to fulfill their contract?

Answer 7: The current contractor has/is fulfilled/fulfilling their contract.
