SpeedDealer Solicitation Questions and Answers 12 March 2020

1 RFP 1.3.1/2 Section 1.3.1 states: "… the 3DELRR Program Management Office, is seeking proposals for production ready radar systems that can meet or exceed 3DELRR requirements." It appears that the CDD is no longer referenced in the solicitation. If not the CDD, then what defines the 3DELRR requirements?

In the solicitation, SECTION 2 references the “3DELRR capabilities documents”. These documents define the 3DELRR requirements.

2 RFP 1.3.1/2 Section 1.3.1 states: "… the 3DELRR Program Management Office, is seeking proposals for production ready radar systems that can meet or exceed 3DELRR requirements." What defines a production ready radar? Please see previous question regarding requirements.

“Production ready radar” is not explicitly defined, the proposals will be evaluated in accordance with Section 4 of the solicitation.

3 RFP Will there be a second opportunity to ask questions or provide comments for the demo scenarios, since these will not be received until after the 7 calendar day solicitation release period?

No. The demos are being provided to allow contractors to scope/understand the level of effort needed for scenario completion post award. The scenarios are not necessary for proposal preparation purposes and therefore questions, comments, and answers are not necessary prior to proposal submission. Any clarification of the scope of the scenarios can be conducted during the interchange process as outlined in Section 3.4, if necessary.

4 RFP Is the list of documentation to be provided as Attachment 10, "the Offeror shall populate and return Attachment 10 of the Model OT Agreement," counted towards the overall 50-page limitation? Is attachment 10 to be delivered as a separate file or is the table to be pulled into the white paper?

The table should be delivered as a separate file. It will not be counted against the overall 50-page limitation.

5 RFP "To confirm, the maximum USG provided funds is $500,000; therefore, the Offeror must certify that they are funding a minimum of $250,000, correct?”

Yes. See Presolicitation Q&A for a more detailed discussion.

6 Model OTA When does the Government anticipate to negotiate the Model OTA Agreement? Would the Government prefer to receive a volume with Model OT Agreement terms and conditions or the full redlined Model OT Agreement?

The Government anticipates negotiating the Model OTA agreement upon proposal submission prior to agreement award. The Government requires the offeror include the Model OT Agreement terms and conditions separately. (this does NOT count towards overall 50-page limitation).

7 Model OTA The Model OTA states, "Within five (10) working days after…"; is it five

(5) or ten (10) working days?

This was a typo. It is ten (10) working days.

8 Model OTA Does this paragraph supercede or supplement the Limitation of Liability- Services clause on page 20? There appears to be a potential inherent conflict between the two clauses. Under this paragraph the sole liability of Performer/Contractor is payment of direct damages which shall not exceed payments received, whereas Limitation of Liability-Services the Contractor is liable to the extent of insurance or reserve.

The Government’s intent is to limit liability for both the Government and the OT Performer to the contract value of the OT Agreement for the Prototype Demonstration Phase. Exact language can be negotiated by parties if selected for award.

9 Model OTA Is the requested Data Rights table to be provided with the proposal referring to the data and materials to be delivered per Attachment 8 Deliverables (page 43 of the Model OT Agreement) after award and not any potential background IP or Data Rights for RDT&E and Production that will be provided later if selected?

Yes. The data rights table will apply to the “Attachment 8 Deliverables” of this effort only and NOT any potential follow-on production contract or agreement. The Government is only requesting the offeror’s data rights assertion for the deliverables (the entire list in Attachment 8 in the Model OTA).

10 Model OTA With respect to the iWATCH and OPSEC Training requirements, will a Contractor's/Performer's similar internal training be sufficient? In the alternative, will AO arrange training in advance as the training can be extensive?

This will be determined/negotiated accordingly prior to OTA award.

11 Suitability was added as an evaluation criteria for follow-on production. Can you please provide the definition of "suitability" in this context and provide any related requirements?

Operational Suitability—The degree to which a system or end item can be placed satisfactorily in field use, with consideration given to availability, compatibility, transportability, interoperability, reliability, maintainability, wartime use rates, full-dimension protection, operational safety, human factors, architectural and infrastructure compliance, manpower supportability, logistics supportability, natural environmental effects and impacts, and documentation and training requirements.

12 In order to appropriately assess how data rights assertions would "apply in a potential follow-on effort," what should contractors assume are the follow-on production technical data and computer software deliverables?

To be determined as any follow-on contract/agreement will be its own separate, negotiated effort.

13 Can the offeror’s response include multiple alternative solutions?

The Government will not prohibit Offerors from submitting multiple solutions as part of their proposal. However, the Government scoped the page limitations to provide the amount of information expected to adequately describe one (1) solution.

Government Clarification:

As clarification, the DD254 shall be completed and submitted with the proposal submittal.

This is not counted against the page limitations stated in the solicitation.
