BAA 0001-21 – Metal Castings Amendment 0002

The following answers respond to questions submitted in reference to BAA 0001-21:

Question 1: On page 3, it states that the government intends to award one or more IDIQ contracts as a result of the BAA for up to 5 years (a 3-year base and one 2-year option). Is this a solicitation for IDIQ contracts that whitepapers would then be submitted under or can proposers submit whitepapers without holding an IDIQ contract? Please clarify how this is intended to work.

Answer 1:

The purpose of the BAA is to have Respondents submit project ideas via White Papers. The Government will review the submitted White Papers to determine if the project submitted is determined an acceptable/feasible project. If determined acceptable/feasible, the Government will ask the Respondents to submit a technical/price proposal for the project submitted against the White Papers. White Papers may only contain one project; however, technical proposals may contain more than one project. The Government intends to award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) cost sharing contracts based upon technical proposals submitted. The IDIQ contract serves as the base contract which establishes all the applicable contract terms and conditions, no funds are issued against an IDIQ contract. Individual Task Orders will be issued against the IDIQ to account for the actual project(s). During the BAA period of performance, subsequent White Papers submitted by Respondents with an IDIQ may result in receipt of additional IDIQ Task Orders.

Question 2: While the preference is for cost-sharing, please confirm that the government will consider fully funding proposal ideas.

Answer 2:

In accordance with Section C, Contract Type, of the BAA it is the Government’s intent to award cost-sharing contracts but reserves the right to award contract types other than cost-sharing, or Other Transactions, only when DLA in its sole discretion deems such award to be in the best interests of the Government. Submittals based on contract types other than cost-type or fixed-price, or on Other Transactions, will be rejected and discarded and will not be reviewed or evaluated. Cost sharing contracts are highly encouraged.
