Additional Questions and Answers for RFP 80GRC020R0010
Additional Questions and Answers for PACE V RFP 80GRC020R0010. Please note that the references for each question have been submitted by the Vendor and may not accurately reflect the language in
RFP 80GRC020R0010.
1. We assume that the sentence below Table B.1 which states, “Please only include pricing for Work Area: CyberSecurity up to CY 2” should actually read “Please only include pricing for the Agency Office of CyberSecurity Services (OCSS) through CY 2." Otherwise, we believe Table B.1 would exclude non-OCSS Work Area 3 CyberSecurity content after CY2 that should remain within core PACE V scope for the total Period of Performance. Is this a correct interpretation?
Answer: This is a correct interpretation. The Offeror is instructed to only include Agency Office of CyberSecurity Services (OCSS) in the Base Period (Contract Years 1 and 2). Beginning with Contract Year 3, OCSS cost estimates should be included in the second B.1 table. CyberSecurity Work Area pricing for all other CyberSecurity work should be included in the first B.1 table for all five (5) contract years and the 6-month extension. The RFP has been amended for clarification.
2. Amendment 2 includes a lot of new information that needs to be considered in finalizing our proposal. Given the amount of new information and the ongoing Pandemic impacting travel and employee participation in the development of a response to the PACE V Proposal, we are respectfully requesting a 10 day – 2 week extension.
Answer: The Government will not extend the proposal due date. The information provided in response to the questions and answers is clarifying and resulted in very minor changes to the
RFP.
3. I requested an LFT Account per the instructions in L.20 and received a link to create an account.
However, I am being prompted to “Please enter your LDAP/Network password to complete the registration process” and I don’t know what to enter?
NASA’s Enterprise Service Desk (ESD) is available to assist Offerors with the use of NASA’s Large File Transfer (LFT) Service. The ESD can be reached at 1-877-677-2123.
4. When is the official received time for proposals when it reaches the Contracting Officer’s inbox or when we submit to LFT?
Answer: The timestamp indicated in LFT shall be the official “received by” time. Any Offeror’s submission received after that time shall be considered late and may not be considered. The RFP has been amended for clarification.

5. What if my subcontractor submits their TCP or sealed pricing late?
Answer: If an Offeror’s subcontractor submits after May 8, 2020 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time it shall be considered late and shall not be considered as a part of the Offeror’s proposal. The RFP has been amended for clarification.
6. Requesting additional clarification on the Total Comp Plan. There seems to be a contradiction by saying only Major Subcontractors have to submit TCP's in Qs 144, and 145, but indicating that any subcontractor performing greater than $700K must submit TCP in Qs 22 and 125. Would the Government please clarify that every subcontractor must submit a TCP?
Answer: Total Compensation Plans are only required for all service subcontractors in accordance with 1852.231-71(d): “The offeror shall require all service subcontractors provide, as part of their proposal, the information identified in (a) through (c) of this provision for cost reimbursement or non-competitive fixed-price type subcontracts having a total potential value expected to exceed the threshold for requiring certified cost or pricing data as set forth in FAR 15.403-4.”
7. Question: We notice that GRC has not included .png files as acceptable picture formats. Our experience is that .png files are a standard allowed by other Government agencies because they provide the highest quality graphics, result in smaller file sizes than several of the picture formats listed by GRC, and allow the use of transparent backgrounds required for some graphics. Will GRC allow pictures included within the proposal to be of .png file formats?
Answer: .png are acceptable. The RFP has been amended for clarification.
