About this file
This file is a Vendor Questions Matrix (Q&A document) for Solicitation No. 693JJ926R000067, addressing clarifications on the evaluation criteria and proposal submission requirements for the Countermeasures That Work (CMTW) and Countermeasures At Work (CMAW) Guide Updates contract.
The document provides six government responses addressing vendor inquiries regarding past performance and personnel qualifications evaluation. Key clarifications include: (1) the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will consider relevant corporate experience and past performance of proposed subcontractors as substantive team members, with subcontractor experience presented identically to prime offeror requirements under Section L.4; (2) past performance references may combine prime offeror and proposed subcontractor projects, with clear attribution to each entity; (3) personnel qualifications held by subcontractors or consultants will receive full consideration if individuals are committed to the project with Letters of Commitment and clearly identified responsibilities and resumes; and (4) a completed Attachment J.5 (Subcontract Checklist) is required for each proposed subcontractor and shall be submitted in Volume II (Business/Cost Proposal). Two additional questions regarding the scope of literature review requirements and chapter update expectations were posed but responses were not included in the matrix excerpt provided. This Q&A matrix serves as essential guidance for offerors structuring their proposals around teaming arrangements and past performance documentation.

Q&A Matrix
| VENDOR QUESTIONS MATRIX - CMTW/CMAW GUIDE UPDATES |
| Solicitation No. 693JJ926R000067 (PR 693JJ926RQ000056) | Countermeasures That Work (CMTW) and Countermeasures At Work (CMAW) Guide Updates |
| No. | RFP Section Reference | Question | Government Response |
| 1 | Sections L.4 and M.4.3 (Corporate Experience/Past Performance) | Sections L.4 and M.4.3 refer to the corporate experience and past performance of the “Offeror.” If an Offeror proposes one or more subcontractors as substantive members of the project team, will NHTSA consider the relevant corporate experience and past performance of those proposed subcontractors when evaluating the Corporate Experience/Past Performance factor? If so, please clarify how subcontractor experience should be presented and whether projects performed by proposed subcontractors may be included among the recent projects/references requested under Section L.4. | Yes. Where an Offeror proposes one or more subcontractors as substantive members of the project team, the Government may consider the relevant corporate experience and past performance of those proposed subcontractors under the Corporate Experience/Past Performance factor (Section M.4.3). Subcontractor experience should be presented in the same manner required of the Offeror under Section L.4 (the list of at least three recent projects and the past performance references submitted on Attachment J.4, Past Performance Questionnaire), with each project clearly attributed to the applicable subcontractor and its relevance to this requirement explained. Projects performed by proposed subcontractors may be included among the recent projects/references requested under Section L.4. |
| 2 | Section L.4 (Past Performance References) | Section L.4 directs Offerors to submit Past Performance Questionnaires from references or, alternatively, identify three recent CPARS evaluations. For an Offeror proposing a team that includes substantive subcontractors, may the three references include a combination of prime-Offeror and proposed-subcontractor projects, assuming the Government's response to Question 1 permits consideration of subcontractor experience? | Yes. Consistent with the response to Question No. 1, the three references may include a combination of prime-Offeror and proposed-subcontractor projects. Each reference should clearly identify whether the project was performed by the prime Offeror or by a proposed subcontractor and should meet the recency and relevance criteria in Section L.4. References shall be submitted using Attachment J.4, Past Performance Questionnaire, as directed in Section L.4. |
| 3 | Section L.4 and M.4.2 (Qualifications of Project Personnel) | Under the Qualifications of Project Personnel factor, will NHTSA give full consideration to relevant experience held by personnel proposed through subcontractors or consultants, provided those individuals are committed to the project and their specific responsibilities and qualifications are clearly identified in the proposal? | Yes. Under the Qualifications of Project Personnel factor (Sections L.4 and M.4.2), the Government will consider the relevant experience of personnel proposed through subcontractors or consultants, provided those individuals are committed to the project (e.g., evidenced by a Letter of Commitment as described in Section L.5) and their specific responsibilities, qualifications, and resumes are clearly identified in the proposal as required by Section L.4. |
| 4 | Attachment J.5 (Subcontract Checklist); Section L.5 (Business/Cost Proposal) | Attachment J.5 is identified as the Subcontractor Checklist. Please confirm whether a separate completed Attachment J.5 is required for each proposed subcontractor and whether it should be submitted as part of Volume II, Business/Cost Proposal. | If the Offeror proposes one or more subcontractors, a completed Attachment J.5, Subcontract Checklist, shall be submitted for each proposed subcontractor, consistent with Section L.5. Attachment J.5, together with the subcontractor information described in Section L.5, shall be submitted as part of Volume II, Business/Cost Proposal. |
| 5 | Section C.4 (General Requirements, third bullet) | Under C.4 General Requirements, bullet three (3) states, “Read, critically review, and evaluate each document related to the countermeasures included in the 12th edition of the guide.” Is the expectation that the Contractor re-reviews every reference included in the 12th edition for the purpose of determining continued inclusion in the 13th edition, in addition to reviewing any new literature? | |
| 6 | Section C.6.6 (Prepare Draft Chapters for 13th Edition) | C.6.6 states, “The Contractor shall submit drafts of the updated chapters of CMTW to the COR for review on a rolling basis, with three (3) to four (4) chapters updated per calendar year.” Is there an expectation that the chapters drafted and revised in the earlier years of the project would be updated again toward the end of the project timeline if subsequent literature is published within the 5-year project but after the completion of the chapter? |
