Question:

Can the government technical team discuss technical approaches on how to deal with this unexpected funding profile (heavily loaded in years 3 and 4)?

Answer:

No. The technical team understands how the funding profile may shape important technical questions, however, the acquisition process at this stage would not allow for discussions of this nature. The best advice for a competitive BAA at this stage would be for each offeror to propose what it views as the best technical approach based on the information in the published BAA and Call 2. The proposal should explain and justify why the company believes that this is the best technical approach, accounting for all aspects including a defined funding profile.
