Question: Please clarify the interrelationship between these references. Specifically, how will a small business who intends to 100% self-perform this work be evaluated?

If two or more quotes are received with all other evaluation factors considered equal, preference will be given to a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) first, a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) second, and a small business last. If two quotes from small businesses are evaluated as equal, then SDVOSB/VOSB subcontracting will be evaluated per paragraph (c) of VAAR 852.215-70.

Question: The Section B pricing does not appear to be conducive to placing task orders. Considering this, how/on what basis will task orders be placed, e.g., per monthly amount in Section B?

This is a solicitation for a service contract. Task orders will be issued for a specific number of months (normally 12 but that is at the Government’s discretion) at the monthly rate identified in the contract.

Question: please clarify whether Past Performance is required w/offeror’s quotes?

No past performance information is required to be submitted with quotes. The Government may utilize any and all information available to assist in making a responsibility determination.

Question – what goes in this block?

Block 17 is not required to be completed with a quote. However, it may be used to provide any of the information required from the cover page (Special Instructions) paragraph 4.a-f.

There is still a need for these parts on the list as half of the ATSs are existing GE-Zenith which need to be maintained and repaired as needed and the remining are the new ATSs from Mustang CAT. Not being able to support both types of ATS and existing and remaining Paralleling Switch Gear is not acceptable.

The 120 hours is user and onsite training. 240 hours is based on 6 Techs x 40 hours=240 hours each per year OEM factory or equivalent training.

The new training shall cover and be compatible with all the existing Zenith and Mustang CAT ATS and Switch Gear. The training should cover troubleshooting and repair of all gear.
