Separation of Technical and Business Proposals

The proposal must be prepared in two parts: a "Technical Proposal" and a "Business Proposal."

The technical proposal should disclose your technical approach in as much detail as possible, including, but not limited to, the requirements of the technical proposal instructions.

Question 12:

Section L, page 43 and 95; Section L instructions and the Pricing Spreadsheet (Attachment 9) seem to indicate that this award will be set up as cost-plus based. However, the RFP states on Section 3 of Attachment 4 that fixed price task orders will be awarded. Please clarify.

Response to Question 12:

Attachment 9 is a template for use. The Task Order will be a Fixed Price Task Order.

Please submit your budget in an excel spreadsheet.

Question 16:

Section L.2.c, page 43; Which tabs of the Pricing Spreadsheet (Attachment 9) offerors are required to complete?

Responses to Question 16:

Attachment 9 is a template and not a requirement. Please ensure that a breakdown of cost is provided to help the Government evaluate cost.

Question 17:

Section L.2.c, page 43; Does the Pricing Spreadsheet (Attachment 9) only apply to Task Order 1?

Responses to Question 17:

Yes

Question 18:

Attachment 4, Task Order 1, page 89; Item #2 is a request for writing and report preparation. Is the generation of one summary report to be inclusive of all three of the NIAID evaluation projects for which the contractor is to develop an evaluation plan and methodologies? Is this the same report that is described in the deliverables schedule on page 90 (item 5 and 6 in the table)?

Responses to Question 18:

Yes, the summary report does include the three evaluation projects.

Yes, it is the same summary report described in previous section.

Question 19:

Is there an expectation that any contractor staff will be embedded in the NIAID/SBE offices at any point of the contract?

Responses to Question 19:

No

Question 20:

Article H.4, page 20; This refers to “This contract requires the Contractor to perform one or more of the following: (a) Design; (b) develop; or (c) operate a Federal agency system of records to accomplish an agency function in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (Act) (5 U.S.C.

552a(m)(1)) and applicable agency regulations.” Is the contractor expected to absorb responsibilities for an existing information system or design and create new systems? This has implication for the intricacy, and thus associated costs, of security requirements.

Responses to Question 20:

No that is not the expectation

AMENDMENT #2, RFP 75N93019R00006 6

Question 21:

What is the expected working arrangement between the NIAID office, the contractor, and the SBE? Would contractors work more closely with SBE or another NIAID point of contact? Would the contractor support evaluation activities directed by the SBE or will the staff have distinct and separate evaluation responsibilities?

Responses to Question 21:

Assuming the ‘SBE’ referenced here is “SPEB”. The contractor will support evaluation activities directed by SPEB, working only with SPEB on assigned tasks and not directly with any other NIAID staff.

Question 22:

What is the period of performance for Task Order 1?

Responses for Question 22:

The estimated period of performance is 3 years (See pg. 96 – ‘Task Order 1 Assumptions’)

Question 23:

What assumptions should the contractor use to estimate the budget for Task Order 1 related to information systems? Which systems are needed to conduct Task Order 1, and do they currently hold an ATO or if it’s due to expire soon?

Responses to Question 23:

Please refer to page 7 of the RFP on Information and /or Physical Security requirements.

Question 24:

What is the estimate on the number of systems that the contractor will be responsible for (including number of servers and/or workstations)?

Responses to Question 24:

The requirement is not for developing, operating or maintaining IT systems or databases. Contractors will not be responsible for any NIH/NIAID systems or servers.

Question 25:

Are there any unique devices (those that do not classify as servers or computers but require IT support, security and monitoring) or technologies that would fall within this task?

Responses to Question 25:

Please see response to Question 24

Question 26:

Does NIAID have plans for implementing new systems?

Responses to Question 26:

Not at this time

AMENDMENT #2, RFP 75N93019R00006 7

Question 27:

Do all systems currently have an ATO or will the contractor be responsible for that task?

Responses to Question 27:

All systems have an ATO but the contractor will not be responsible for IT systems.

Question 28:

What is the status of the current security posture? Are there currently a lot of open finding/patches/vulnerabilities that need to be remediated?

Responses to Question 28:

The requirement is not for developing, operating or maintaining IT systems or databases.

Question 29:

Attachment 1, page 2; May the minimum font size and spacing for tables and figures be smaller than the listed requirements?

Responses to Question 29:

No

Question 30:

Attachment 4, Task Order 1; Should the Task Order 1 summary document deliverable presenting trends on SPEB evaluation planning projects include an analysis of only the 3 evaluation planning projects outlined in this Task Order 1 or also include past NIAID evaluation planning projects?

Responses to Question 30:

Summary document deliverable should only include the 3 evaluation planning projects.

Question 31:

Attachment 3; The suggested Table of Contents outline skips from SECTION 5: Corporate Experience to SECTION 7: Other Considerations. Should there be a SECTION 6?

Responses to Question 31:

This was a typo. There is no SECTION 6

Question 32:

Section 2.A.12, page 54; States that “Offerors may also submit past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition.” However, Section 6.b. on page 65 of the RFP states that offerors should not describe such experience. Can the government clarify whether past performance information may be submitted for individuals proposed as personnel for this RFP even if that experience was acquired elsewhere?

Responses to Question 32:

Section 6.b. on page 65-66 states:

AMENDMENT #2, RFP 75N93019R00006 8

Organizational Experience Related to the RFP Organizational experience is defined as the accomplishment of work, either past or on-going, which is comparable or related to the effort required by this RFP. This includes overall offeror or corporate experience, but not the experience and/or past performance of individuals who are proposed as personnel involved with the Statement of Work in this RFP. There is no restriction on providing individuals experience in addition to Organization Experience.

Question 33:

Activity J, page 84; Does NIAID have an approved evaluation training curriculum or will the successful contractor create all training materials?

Responses to Question 33:

This is project dependent. Task orders may or may not include the development of training in addition to the conducting of training(s). Future task orders will clarify this if needed.

Question 34:

Section B.I.1, Task Order 1, page 89; The third paragraph beginning “Analysis plans…”), it seems that the task description is missing a verb. It currently states the following: “Analysis plans to implement evaluation studies according to the 1) priorities and needs of the NIAID, 2) availability of data, and 3) resources required for the evaluation.” Can the Government please clarify the intent of this sentence?

Responses to Question 34:

Analysis plans to implement evaluation studies will be developed according to the 1) priorities and needs of the NIAID, 2) availability of data, and 3) resources required for the evaluation.”

Question 35:

Attachment 1; The RFP states that proposals should be submitted via the NIH electronic Contract Proposal Submission (eCPS). However, the solicitation notice on FedBizOpps.gov at https://www.fbo.gov/spg/HHS/NIH/AMOB/75N93019R00006/listing.html states that requires proposals to be submitted via e-mail to Matt Lear (matt.lear@nih.gov) and Callie Prassinos (prassinosca@nih.gov). Can the Government clarify the instructions for submittal?

Responses to Question 35:

Please submit all proposal via NIH electronic Contract Proposal Submission (eCPS).

FedBVizOpps.gov has been revised to reflect this.

Question 36:

Section B.3, page 4; Among the direct cost types, are software licenses and webinar (CISCO teleconferences) included?

Responses to Question 36:

Software licenses may be included provided that the intended use is in relation to qualitative or quantitative analysis tools and is approved by NIAID and the CO before purchase. Webinar and teleconference licenses are already held by NIAID and should not be included.

AMENDMENT #2, RFP 75N93019R00006 9

Question 37:

Section C.2, page 12; Do all reports (draft and final) have to be 508 compliant or only the final reports?

Responses to Question 37:

Only final reports (and any other final deliverable with stated requirement) need to be 508 compliant, not the drafts.

Question 38:

Section I, page 34; Under Invoicing Instructions (see Part I - Aricle G.3 and Attachment 13) and under Instructions to Offerors (page 51) specifies fixed type of contract, then on Part II - Article I.1 it mentions Fixed-Price, T&M and labor hour contract. Please confirm that the Task Order type is fixed price. The reason for this line of question is that under the business proposal instructions asks for unloaded rates and indirect rates instead of loaded rates.

Responses to Question 38:

Task Order is fixed-price. We ask for unloaded rate, is possible, to help with cost evaluation.

Question 39:

Section L, page 54; Item 12 - Past Performance Information - states that the offeror has to provide a list of the last 3 contracts completed during the past 3 years and all contracts currently being performed that are similar in nature to the solicitation work scope. Please confirm that the offeror may provide as many past performances that are currently being performed aside from the 3 last contracts completed during the past 3 years. In addition, may CPARS be included as appendix?

Responses to Question 39:

There is no limit on the number of past performance information to be provided and CPARS information is welcome.

Question 40:

Section L, page 59; In (a) Direct Labor, it is asking for a time-phased breakdown of labor hours.

Since this is for 5 years, can the hours be annual? Or is it monthly and/or quarterly a requirement that would weigh in on the proposal evaluation?

Responses to Question 40:

Attachment 4: Additional Business Proposal, page 96, provides hours per year. Please provided all other hours per year.

Question 41:

Section C.2, page 7-8; The Statement of Work states that a system security plan, a security assessment plan/ report, and security assessment and authorization should be submitted within 30 days of contract award. What assumptions should be made about the security categorization of the information system - low, moderate, or high?

Responses to Question 41:

Please reference to page 7 of the RFP on Information and /or Physical Security requirements. The requirement is Low.

AMENDMENT #2, RFP 75N93019R00006 10

Question 42:

Section L, page 45; What is the place of performance of the work (government versus contractor site)? Will it vary by Task Order?

Responses to Question 42:

This will be Task Order specific. Contractor will complete their work on contractor site.

Contractor may be asked to attend meetings at government location periodically (e.g., at the beginning of Task Orders, mid-task updates and/or presentations, final presentations, etc.).

Question 43:

Section L, page 49; The solicitation states, “FAR 16.301-3 limits use of any contract type, other than firm-fixed price, to a contractor whose accounting system is adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract. To be considered for an award under this solicitation, the Offeror is required to certify, in its Business Proposal, the adequacy of its accounting system.” What is required to determine the adequacy of contractor accounting system? In paragraph L.2.a.1, the instructions indicate that firm fixed price task orders are anticipated, is it assumed that the accounting system must also be adequate to be considered?

Responses to Question 43:

There will be no task orders other than fixed price task orders under the Base Award.

Therefore, Section L.1.d. paragraph 3 is deleted in its entirety.

Question 44:

Attachment 4, Task Order 1, page 88; Do the instructions in Attachment 3 apply to the IDIQ and instructions in Attachment 4 apply to Task Order 1? If not, what are the specific proposal instructions for Task Order 1?

Responses to Question 44:

Attachment 3: Additional Technical Proposal Instruction and Attachment 4: Additional Business Proposal Instruction are instructions for both the Base IDIQ and Task Order 1.

Question 45:

Is there currently an incumbent performing this work? If so, who is the contractor(s)?

Responses to Question 45:

This is a recompete of contract HHSN27221600016I with Ripple Effect Communications.

Question 46:

Page 74; General Task Order Requirements state “The Contractor shall be required to respond to Requests for Task Order Proposals (RTOPs) within 3 business days of issuance by the Government Contracting office.” Can you provide additional detail on what constitutes a “response” and how many pages a response requires?

Responses for Question 46:

The responses vary by Task Order requirements and will be noted in future task order requests.

AMENDMENT #2, RFP 75N93019R00006 11

Question 47:

Attachment 3, page 74; The solicitation states, “The Contractor shall perform the work described in the Statement of Work at a Federally-controlled and non-controlled facilities within the Washington Metropolitan area, or as authorized by the COR.” Does this mean remote work is allowed as long as it is approved by the COR? Can all personnel be remote if approved by the

COR?

Responses to Question 47:

Yes

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.48 per hour or $179.20 per week or $776.53 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.18 per hour, or $167.20 per week, or $724.53 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because most Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.

400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may not list a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds $27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. For example, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate, then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determination.

Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **

An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder.

All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like;

minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition (Revision 1), dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.

** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE, Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444) **

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order the proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the U.S.

Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the contractor.

6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1)).
