Quotations not meeting minimum acceptable daily capability for an area as specified on page 2 of Attachments 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 could indicate a lack of understanding concerning mission requirements and shall result in the entire quotation being determined technically unacceptable or being eliminated.

d. SCHEDULE I, II, and III HOUSTON-QUESTIONS/ANSWERS

Question 1: Regarding the paragraph below from the Combined Synopsis, there are several items I want to bid 0 on since they are not used in completion of the contract. Will that result in rejection of my bid?

“The Government may determine that an quoter is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced.

Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items or sub-line item(s) appear to be significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. Therefore, a quotation may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).”

Answer 1: The following paragraph of the combined synopsis/solicitation will explain what may happen if you quoted $0 for any section with an estimated quantity.

Paragraph 9 section 2(a)- “Total Evaluated Price: The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic year for each area. The quoter shall accurately complete the Bid Schedules (Reference Atchs 2-6) for the areas in which the quoter proposes for the basic and each option year. Incomplete Bid Schedules or quotations could indicate lack of understanding of the requirement and may result in the entire quotation being determined unacceptable and eliminated from further consideration.

Question 2: In the past fuel surcharge was added to certain line items however there is nothing noted in the solicitation this time. “SDDC fuel surcharge will apply to XX% of the unit price for this item”.

Answer 2: There is no Fuel Surcharge requirement in DTR 4500.9R, Part IV, Appendix G for DPM contracts.

Question 3: Full Replacement Value (FRV) was included in the past, but I don’t see that it is included this time around. Are we to bid it with FRV included?

Answer 3: Clause 252.247-7016 has hereby been removed and will not be incorporated in the resultant contract.

The guidance for claims and liability procedures found in attachment G6 of the PWS will be utilized in lieu of this clause.

e. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
