BAA-VS-07-07 Call 0010 Questions and Answers 29 October 2010

Q1. Per the CALL 0010 Announcement under BAA-VS-07-07, the anticipated period of performance for individual awards is 45 months in duration. We believe an alternate period of performance, to include an option period, would benefit AFRL the most. Exercise of the option and a to be determined scope would occur towards the time of the final report submittal under the basic effort. This allows for ultimate flexibility in advancing the Space Situational Awareness mission area state-of-the-art. We would like to verify our company would still be a responsive bidder with this approach.

A1. Please propose period of performance as indicated in the Call 0010 document. There has been a modification posted to the Call 0010 document clarifying the Period of Performance:

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The anticipated period of performance for individual awards resulting from this CALL is 45 months in duration. The period of performance is to be proposed in the format “includes 42 months for technical effort and 3 months for Final Report preparation.” This anticipated period of performance is intended as an estimation, it is not intended to preclude alternate periods of performance that may be more appropriate for the work to be proposed.”

Q2. The period is described as being 45 months in duration and to be proposed in the format which “includes 42 months for technical effort and 3 months for Final Report preparation.” For the purpose of completing the Cost Element Summary Table (as shown in the Cost Proposal Instructions), would you like for us to provide one wide table that incorporates all OFY covered in the 45 month period or is the 45 month POP broken into smaller increments (i.e. 12-month periods)?

A2. Please review the cost proposal instructions, which are posted in addition to Call 0010 on 04 October 2010 and include an example of the cost element summary table.
