Question: C.3.3.1 states "All contractor personnel supporting PACAF/A2 and other intelligence units comprising the ISR Team of Teams in the PACAF Theater must possess a TS/SCI Clearance (unless specified otherwise...)" Does the Assistant Facility Manager position at Osan AB require a TS/SCI (or any clearance)? If no, will the Government please update the PWS paragraph C.3.3.12.1 to reflect that the clearance is not required for this position?

Answer: No; a TS/SCI security clearance is not required for the Assistant Facility Manager if the member is a local national; however, member must be vetted and approved to work on Osan. The PWS will be updated to reflect the requirement more clearly. PWS Paragraph 3.3.12.1. is modified as follows:

“The contractor shall provide at least one experienced person during duty hours to serve as 694th ISR Group Assistant Facility Manager. This position does not require a TS/SCI clearance however they must be approved to work on Osan AB……..”

Question: We believe CLINs X005 and X006 are best-suited under a Firm-Fixed-Price task order vs. Time and Materials. Specialized services have historically been turn-key projects, that require specialized labor not included in the Attachment A Pricing Schedule, (e.g. electrician, electrical engineer, cable puller, laborer, etc.). A Firm-Fixed-Price task order would incentivize the contractor to complete the project within the negotiated price and schedule, while a T&M task order would only require a contractor’s best effort with no guarantee of completing the project at the proposed level of effort.

Would the Government consider changing CLINs X005 and X006 to Firm-Fixed-Price?

Answer: The Government appreciates the response and request. Some of these turn key projects may require specialized labor not included in CLIN X001 and X002. While firm fixed price does shift the risk to the contractor, with some of the unknowns on these actions time and materials at this time appears to be a better fit for these tasks to protect the contractor and ensure the project is completed.

Question: Does the government anticipate moving the proposal submit date into January 2022?

Answer: This was answered previously in Amendment A00002. No, we do not anticipate changing proposal due date.

Question: Is the government encouraging non-exclusive teaming arrangements?

Answer: The Government is open to any creative solutions on satisfying the PWS requirements.
