CPP FY26 Request for Proposal (RFP) 121 fee for the awarded line item throughout the entire performance period of the contract, including any option periods. If the awarded contract carrier does not maintain the waived first (1st) checked baggage fee during the performance period of the contract, the contract carrier must provide the Government with written notice a minimum of ten (10) calendar days prior to imposing a baggage fee to the awarded line item(s). In such situations, the Government reserves the right to re‐evaluate all offers and re‐award the line item.

M.6 PRICE EVALUATION FOR GROUP 2 AND GROUP 3

In domestic and international Group 2 and 3 line items, the YCA and _CA fares will be solicited;

therefore, the composite fare will be the evaluated price. If no _CA fare is offered, then the YCA fare is the evaluated price.

In domestic line items where both a YCA fare and _CA fare are offered, the price for the line item will be calculated based on the composite fare computed in accordance with the following formula:

Composite Fare = (.40 * YCA Fare) + (.60 * _CA Fare)

In international and fifth freedom of the air line items, where both a YCA fare and _CA fare are offered the price for the line item will be calculated based on the composite fare computed in accordance with the following formula:

Composite Fare = (.40 * YCA Fare) + (.60 * _CA Fare)

All composite fares are rounded off to the nearest whole dollar amount. The composite fare is used for evaluation purposes only. The Government reserves the right to use all pricing information in its evaluation.

All prices for lowest price and technically acceptable offers must also be determined to be fair and reasonable. The Government may not award any or all offers if such action is in the public interest.

After the award decision has been made based on offered coach fare(s), business and premium class fares offered by the proposed awardee will be evaluated for price reasonableness only. Business and premium class fares are not part of the award decision for coach service.

Solicitation No. 47QMCB25R0003

Attachment 7

No. Solicitation Reference Vendor Question Government Response

Section Page #

Do you have any insights on government travel spend over the next few months with all the cuts from DOGE?

Do you foresee any decline in spend for FY25, or is the expected spend for FY26 changing at all?

To our knowledge there has been no specific governmentwide guidance as it relates to travel. Currently, we are seeing mission essential travel only for agencies impacted by Executive Orders. CPP will provide any other information when it is made available.

2 B.2 and G.2 Page 12 & page 45 How does an offeror communicate a route restriction during the solicitation in CALM CPSS?

The contract prohibits route restrictions for all solicited markets.

3 K.7 Page 74 In the Draft RFP Q&A it was noted that at FPR carriers may modify K.7 to delete codeshare partners and/or add/delete codeshare partner(s) by international line item if the codeshare partner was identified at the initial submission.

If additional line items are added after the proposal deadlines, then an amendment will be posted with instructions to email the additional codeshare partner(s).

Please confirm that if additional line items are solicited after Group 1/2/3 submission deadlines, a carrier can add codeshare partner(s) and/or add a line item via codeshare partner?

4 M.3 Page 112 For Group 1 Domestic Route line items that have minimum service requirements of “Direct or Connecting Service” – if a carrier has a nonstop flight in the timeband of 5:00AM to 9:30AM, do they receive 5 points or 2 points? The 1st table below title is “Nonstop – All east to west flights and all west to east flights” and the second table title is “Direct or Connecting – All east to west flights and all west to east flights.” Please confirm whether the title of the table(s) reflects the minimum service requirement versus a carrier’s service type.

The title of the tables reflects the carrier’s flight submissions.

Under 2 Direct or Connecting Service (a) For line items where direct or connecting service is the minimum service required, nonstop service will also be counted. Points will be allocated for both the nonstop and direct or connecting service until the offeror has reached the maximum point threshold for nonstop and direct or connecting service. For your example, the carrier would receive 5 points for their nonstop flight in a connecting minimum service requirement market assuming the maximum point threshold has not been reached.

5 M.3 Subfactor 2

Pg 117 This section states that “For Group 1 line items an additional 50 points will be added for any carrier with any nonstop service when compared to a carrier with connecting or direct service.” Please advise on the following questions regarding this statement:

(1) Please confirm our understanding that these 50-points are only added in Group 1 Minimum Service Connect/Direct identified markets?

(2) (2) Please see the below illustration. The language above clearly highlights how a nonstop service carrier is compared to a carrier with connecting or direct service (2 eligible carriers). When there are (3) eligible carriers,

(1) Yes, the 50 additional points are only added in Group 1 markets where direct or connecting service is the minimum service required and a carrier offers nonstop service when compared to connecting or direct service offer(s).

(2) Each carrier is individually scored in each line item. If there are 3 carriers that meet the minimum service requirement of connecting or direct service with 2 carriers offering nonstop service and 1 carrier offering direct or connecting service, both nonstop carriers would receive the 50 additional points for nonstop service. The carrier offering only direct or connecting service does not receive the 50 points.

and two have nonstop service, do both carriers receive an additional 50 technical points? When there are (3) eligible carriers and two have nonstop service, but one has more nonstops, do both carriers still receive the additional 50 points? (see illustration – highlighted in purple)

6 M.6 Page 121 M.6 Price Evaluation for Group 2 and 3 highlights “Business fares are not part of the award decision for coach service.” Please confirm this applies to Premium Economy fares as well – meaning they are not part of the award decision for Group 2 and 3

Correct, Premium Economy fares are not part of the award decision for coach service. Please refer to amendment 0004 for the updated language to section M.6

7 Attachment 4 Line item

DCA-SEA

We were under the impression DCASEA would only require 1x daily but the min requirements say 2x daily.

Thank you for bringing this market to our attention. Please refer to amendment 0004 for the updated Final RFP Attachment 4.

8 Attachment 4 Line Item

IAD-SEA

Requires 2x daily but there is a reduction to 1x daily for most carriers in the winter season. Could this be adjusted to 1x daily?

Thank you for bringing this market to our attention. Please refer to amendment 0004 for the updated Final RFP Attachment 4

9 Attachment 4 Line Item

LON-WAS

Please confirm the minimum service requirements for this line item is (3) nonstop flights, as the YoY estimated pax count change is nominal. In FY25, the requirement was (2) nonstop flights.

Thank you for bringing this market to our attention. Please refer to amendment 0004 for the updated Final RFP Attachment 4.

10 Attachment 5 Line items 7021, 7024, 7028, 7031

Please note the below line items in Attachment 5 have “CAE” duplicated for line items 7024, 7028, 7031

Thank you for bringing this market to our attention. Please refer to amendment 0004 for the updated Final RFP Attachment 5.

11 Attachment 6 Extended Connection

Column The FY26 Final RFP states “Group 3 connect service line items have no connection time or stop limit” (pg. 23) and “line items listed in Attachment 6 where there are no stop limitations (pg. 26). Please confirm that the no stop limit still applies even though there is a “Y” indicator under the Extended Connection column in the Final RFP Attachment 6 for Group 3 city pairs. This column was not in the Draft RFP, Attachment 6.

No connection time or stop limit applies for Group 3 line items.

Please refer to amendment 0004 for the updated Final RFP Attachment 6.
