RFP Question and Answer 2

Q1. Attachment 4: Do we need to have a Secret Facility Clearance at the time of proposal submission?

A1. No, Attachment 4 is a planning DD254. The contractor must meet the DD254 requirements at time of award.

Q2. General Information: Who is currently performing the work?

A2. Badger Technical Services (BTS) is the incumbent contractor.

Q3. RFP Section L Paragraph IV Past Performance pg 38: Paragraph b of this section states “Provide a comprehensive list of up to ten recent and relevant contracts…” Paragraph c states “a list of questionnaire recipients to include two current POCs and phone numbers for each contract reference provided.” Does this that if you provide 10 contracts that you expect 20 questionnaires?

A3. The Government request in Volume IV Past Performance a list with up to ten (10) recent and relevant contracts be listed and described with two (2) POCs for each contract listed. The Government request at least one (1) questionnaire be sent for each contract listed in Volume IV.

Q4. RFP Section L Paragraph IV Past Performance pg 38: Section c, paragraph 4 states “Any major subcontractors Performance Evaluation Questionnaire’ will be in addition to the 10 surveys provided for the prime offeror.” Does this mean that contracts for the major subcontractor are in addition to the 10 contracts from the prime? This says 10 surveys from the prime which seems to conflict with the statement in the previous question. Please clarify exactly what you are expecting to be submitted for past performance.

A4. Past Performance Information for major Subcontractors’ contracts should be in addition to the 10 contracts and questionnaires submitted as Past Performance Information for the Prime Offeror. Volume IV should have a separate list for contracts any major Subcontractor performed for which questionnaires were sent.

Q5. RFP Section M Paragraph Factor 2, Volume III Price Proposal pg 46: Paragraph d. Affordability: States: “A proposal which exceeds the budget may be determined unaffordable and ineligible for award.” Paragraph e. Budget. Budget information includes all CLINS.

The reduced budgets don’t seem to support the quantities that are provided in Attachment 8 which appear to remain pretty much constant. Which line items will most be affected by the significant budget decrease from FY 13 to FY 17?

A5. It is up to the offeror to propose cost efficiencies that result in a decrease in price in the out years.
