Solicitation Updates

1. Add FAR Clause 52.244-5 Competition In Subcontracting to Section IV.C(2) of The Agreement.

Questions and Responses

1. Question: “Will the Federal Acquisitions Regulations applicable to this project allow the short-listed CMc respondents to select subcontracting partners prior to award with the intentions of continuing that partnership into the design and construction stages of the project?”

Response: Provided that offerors comply with all provisions and clauses of the solicitation and agreement, inclusive of GSAM 552.219-71, Notice to Offerors of Subcontracting Plan Requirements, FAR 52.222-27, Equal Employment Opportunity Plan, and FAR 52.244-5 Competition In Subcontracting there is nothing that precludes an offeror from selecting subcontracting partners prior to award with the intentions of continuing that partnership into the design and construction stages of the project.

However, if during the cost reconciliation efforts described in the statement of work the Government can not determine a subcontractor's price to be fair and reasonable the Government may request that the CMc obtain adequate pricing competition at the subcontractor level.
