Helicopter Maintenance Questions from Industry #2

Questions from Industry #1 (Cont’d)

A: An IDIQ contract may be submitted as one citation or a citation can be individual task orders. Relevancy criteria will be applied to each citation. RFP has been amended to include this statement (RFP Para L-5, D.1.a ., Pg. 115.).

1) Could the government provide some additional clarification of the individual weighting of each focus area? For example, does a relevant rating in program management carry the same weight as a relevant rating in safety program focus area?

2) If each focus area carries the same weight, what is the break point for the overall citation being rated relevant? Does the contractor need to receive a relevant rating in each focus area to receive an overall relevant rating for that citation or is 4 out of 5 focus areas being rated relevant sufficient to get an overall relevant rating?

3) If each focus area carries a different evaluation weight, please provide the relative weight of each focus are and the break point for the relevancy rating of the entire citation.

A: The RFP has been amended to clarify the evaluation of relevancy. Relevancy for each citation will be assessed in each of the five focus areas (RFP Para M-3, C.1.b.(2), Page 122).

1) Focus areas are not individually weighted (i.e.One focus area is not weighted more than another).

2) Each citation will receive five relevancy ratings, one for each focus area IAW the definitions contained in RFP Para M-3, C.1.b.(2). The overall confidence rating is based upon an integrated assessment involving the recency, relevancy , and quality evaluations of all information reviewed.

3) See response #1 above.
