Solicitation Reference Section(s)

Question All questions are “as received” from prospective offerors.

Answer

1 Attachment L-1, EPM The EPM file (80MSFC21R0015_NFSS_RFP_Attachment_L- 1_EPM_-_Amendment_P0001) allows for only one fringe rate on tabs B and C. Will another Fringe calculation be added through an amendment, or can we add a column? Fringe for exempt and non-exempt is often not the same.

Offerors may add column(s) as needed.

2 Section L, Volume II - Price/Cost Factor Instructions

If H&W is paid directly to employees (SCLS only), can we include this in the direct rate since it a taxable benefit?

Health and welfare (H&W) rates should be kept separate, as part of the overall fringe benefit and total compensation package, for estimating purposes.

3 Section L, Volume II - Price/Cost Factor Instructions

Section (d)(2) states, “Responsibility information - Provide information specifically addressing each element under FAR 9.104-1 to demonstrate responsibility.” Is the government looking for the Offeror to include the financial ratios and other financial data required in the price volume (Section I (iv) page L-24) or is a general narrative sufficient?

In accordance with Section L, provision Volume II - Price/Cost Factor Instructions, paragraph (b)(2)(iv), … The offeror shall provide a summary of financial ratios including quick ratio, current ratio, summary of working capital, and debt to equity ratio for the three most recently completed fiscal years.

Answer

4 Section L, Volume II – Price/Cost Factor Instructions

Volume II Price/Cost Factor Instructions, Section (a)(5) states, “Offerors (see FAR 16.301-3, Limitations) and subcontractors anticipated to perform cost reimbursement task orders/work packages (TOs/WPs) shall have an adequate accounting system...

Offerors and applicable subcontractors shall provide the audit report number and date of approval for their accounting system.”

Volume IV Contract Instructions (d)(5) states, “The current status of the Offeror’s and all proposed subcontractors’ business systems providing the Government approval status/adequacy determination;

the date approval was given; the approval document (i.e., DCAA Audit No, or DCMA Letter No.); and the responsible Government agencies’ (DCAA and DCMA) office address and point of contact information…Business systems shall include accounting, estimating, employee compensation, property management, and timekeeping.”

Volume IV requires accounting and other business systems information for all subcontractors, whereas Volume II requires only subcontractors performing cost reimbursement work to provide information on their accounting system. Would the government please advise whether section (d)(5) of the Contracts Volume applies only to subcontractors that will perform on cost reimbursement task orders.

Section L, provision Volume IV - Contract Instructions, paragraph (d)(5) has been revised to include business systems for offerors and only applicable subcontractors anticipated to perform cost reimbursement task orders/work packages TOs/WPs.
