Instructions to Contractors and Evaluation of Offers, Price

Attachment 1 - Rapid Prototype Instructions to Offerors Price Proposal” is not available within SAM, Please provide attachment 1 or further guidance.

On page 23, the solicitation states Offerors shall use Attachment 2.

2 29 IDIQ Ordering Instructions

This requirement seems in conflict with the ordering catalog. “Note 1” seems applicable to evaluating the basis of estimate for catalog items rather than as part of the ordering process of FFP items. Please Clarify - we are concerned that reproposing with a rate build for each new FFP order will significantly increase order request to award time.

See Page 28 of the solicitation. Note 1: For all Firm Fixed Price task order CLINs, the contracting officer will review the Hourly Labor Rate Table to validate that labor rates offered in response to an RFQ do not exceed the established Hourly Labor Rate Table ceiling rates of the

IDIQ.

Reference text: "The Government anticipates that performance of this contract may require travel as estimated below.” The table following the referenced text within the solicitation outlines Individuals Per Trip - is this a maximum for the number of travelers for each trip or a placeholder figure?

This Individuals Per Trip number is an average for any single trip. The constraint for all travel is the not to exceed value Travel CLINs with a Not-to-Exceed (NTE) value which is $468,860.00 per year.
