| 43. Question? | Reference: National Intelligence Information | ||
| Question: It is likely EWOCS contractor personnel will need to attend status briefings, perform maintenance, or conduct operations in areas that require SCI read-ins. This is particularly likely while supporting national launches. Further, Section 13.4 states, "The contractor may require unescorted entry to facilities and areas where special controls have been established to protect classified information of mission critical resources. Unescorted entry into SCIFs requires SCI eligibility (SSBI or equivalent investigation)." Since many main and tenant units have SCIFs, it is likely the contractor will need to access these areas without interrupting mission operations by "bringing down" the clearance level. Should Block 10.e.(1) be checked? | |||
| Answer: | The DD254 has been modified and will be provided with the amendment. | ||

Factor 1 –Technical Specific Instructions: The Technical Volume should be specific, complete, and address your technical solution for meeting or exceeding the Government’s minimum performance or capability requirements of each technical subfactor. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. Your responses to the Technical Capability Factor will be evaluated against the assessment criteria defined in Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award. Using the instructions provided below, provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing/satisfying these subfactors. By your proposal submission you are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the RFP. It is not necessary or desirable for you to say so in the proposal. Do not merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the RFP. Note: The Offeror shall address in the proposal the requirements which are expected to be performed on Day One of the contract period of performance which are listed in PWS Appendix A, Communication Systems and Services Matrix. 2.1.2.1. Provide a program management approach to provide comprehensive communications services from traditional operations to dynamic requirements (which include launch environment and MDA communications services). Provide a program management approach to be fully operational in every area of the PWS on day one of full performance of the contract as specified in Appendix A, Communications Systems and Services Matrix. (IAW PWS para 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 3.12.4.3, and Appendix A) | ||

Suggest removing PWS 3.12 from L 2.1.1.2, as it would be redundant with L 2.1.4.
Alternatively, narrow the scope to PWS 3.12.9 which addresses MDA cybersecurity specifically.

| Question: The topics of visual imagery and alarms are not mentioned in PWS 3.12. The only 3.12 citations related to video, IDS, or access control and alarms are: |
3.12.6.1 mentions "a stand-alone closed circuit TV system providing video from all five MDA launch facilities (LF-02, LF-03, LF-21, LF-23, and LF-24) and displays in Buildings 6510 and 1768." ;
3.12.8.2.1.2.2 mentions "Ensure proper access control and monitoring procedures are in accordance with DoD, USAF, AFSPC, and 30 SW directives." and
3.12.9.4.1.1.1. is a very long paragraph and only mentions "Review and report ... Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) activity. " We suggest that this instruction either exclude PWS 3.12 completely and move all discussion of MDA services to subfactor 4, or limit the PWS reference the those three relevant 3.12 elements listed above rather than repeating the offeror's approach to all 3.12 in mulitple subfactors.

| 59. Question? | Reference: Provide a program management approach to prepare, maintain, and report traceability of costs showing linkage between the Contractor Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS) (to the fourth level), CLIN, PWS, and labor categories. (IAW PWS para. 2.0 - 2.19, 3.0 - 3.12, PWS Appendix A, and Section B of the RFP) | ||
| Question: Please clarify that the offerors need not include a CWBS in their proposals, given the language in PWS 2.6.3 about partnering with the government on the "CWBS explanations". Please clarify that the PWS and solicitation sections cited refer to the content of the CWBS rather than instructing the offerors to repeatedly provide descriptions of our approach to performing the PWS and CLINs. |
Suggested rewording:
Provide a program management approach to prepare, maintain, and report costs using a Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS) that provides traceability among: the CWBS; the PWS para. 2.0 - 2.19, 3.0 - 3.12, and Appendix A (to the fourth level); the CLINs in Section B of the RFP; and the labor categories in the offeror's staffing plan. (IAW PWS para 2.6.3) It is not necessary to include the detailed CWBS, dictionary, and traceability matrix in the proposal.
If the Government requires the CWBS, dictionary, and/or traceability matrix be included in the proposal, please exclude it from the volume page limit because it could consume nearly the entire 100 pages in order to address the entire PWS.
| Answer: | The Government is requesting a sample CWBS to be included in the proposals for the requirements needed on day 1 of full performance of the contract. The PWS and solicitation sections cited refer to the content of the CWBS. | ||

| Question: How does the Government define "total cost basis". Is this all CLINs without Fee? Is this Price for FFP CLINS and Cost for CPFF? Is this the total of CLINs to include one with Government Provided Numbers? | |||
| Answer: | It is the proposed total contract price for the entire 7 years to include all CLINs. | ||

| Question: In addition to Junior, Journeyman, and Senior, the Government has listed a Subject Matter Expert (SME). Is this a continuation of the aforementioned labor category subdividsion or something else? If somethin else, would the Government provide insight into where these SMEs might be needed? | |||
| Answer: | It is a continuation. The offerors approach to fulfill EWOCS requirements will determine whether or not they would like to propose a SME. | ||
| L-01_-_EWOCS_Section_L.pdf | 2 / General Instructions f. | ||
| 65. Question? | Reference: Note; The Offeror may deviate from the definitions above when responding to the solicitation so long as the deviations are clearly identified in their proposal. For example, a Contractor might label an employee as “Senior”, but the employee does not have a MA/MS degree. Likewise, a Contractor might label an employee as “Junior” even though the employee has more than 3 years’ experience. Deviations shall be clearly identified in proposals. | ||
| Question: This note talks about deviations for "employees". Does the Government wish to use this deviation by "employee" or by "Labor Category"? | |||
| Answer: | Labor Category. Section L of the solicitation has been updated to state labor category, and it will be provided with the amended solicitation. | ||
| L-01_-_EWOCS_Section_L.pdf | 2 / General Instructions f. | ||
| 66. Question? | Reference: Deviations shall be clearly identified in proposals. | ||
| Question: Where within the proposal should these deviations be identified? | |||
| Answer: | In the Technical Volume. | ||
| L-01_-_EWOCS_Section_L.pdf | 1 / L-1 | ||
| 67. Question? | Reference: The Government will conduct an initial evaluation of all proposal volumes upon receipt and develop ENs that will be forwarded to offerors immediately after the PCO makes a competitive range determination and opens discussions. This provides offerors with the opportunity to revise proposals and address any noted deficiencies prior to delivering their complete cost/price submission. | ||
| Question: This statement appears to imply that the Full Cost/Price Volume will not receive ENs. Is this the Government's intent or are you saying that there will be subsequent ENs that address it? | |||
| Answer: | These are separate paragrahphs. The first paragraph is discussing the two part cost/price volume, and the next two paragraphs are discussing the source selection process from initial receipt of proposals to award. The last paragraph states, "Subsequent ENs may be issued throughout the discussion portion of the evaluation." | ||

| 69. Question? | Reference: The proposed approach demonstrates a complete organizational chart with staffing plan which identifies manning levels, labor categories, personnel certifications and training requirements for 45 SW, 30 SW, and MDA. | ||
| Question: (a) Does this instruction mean that the organization chart itself must identify manning levels, labor categories, personnel certifications and training requirements (requiring the organization chart to become very large in order to include all the data), or can the manning levels, etc. be in a separate staffing plan subsection in a tabular format? |
(b) Manning levels will vary over the phase-in period and throughout the full performance period depending on the work required in the executed task orders. (b.1) Which CLINs, PWS elements, and locations (30 SW, 45 SW, MDA) should the staffing plan include? (b.2) What should offerors assume about task order manning levels and work content?
Answer: (a) The staffing plan should identify manning levels, labor categories, personnel certifications and training requirements for 45 SW, 30 SW, and MDA.
(b) (b.1) Section M paragraph 2.2.3.2. states, "2.2.3.2. The proposed approach demonstrates a complete organizational chart with staffing plan which identifies manning levels, labor categories, personnel certifications and training requirements for 45 SW, 30 SW, and MDA." The manning levels should include phase-in as well as the requirements which are expected to be performed on Day One of the contract period of performance which are listed in PWS Appendix A, Communication Systems and Services Matrix.
(b.2) Can you please rephrase? The Government doesn't understand what you are asking.

| 72. Question? | Reference: Phase In Period. | ||
| Question: It was brought up at the one-on-ones that the pricing of the phase in is inherently a disadvantage for offerors that do not have any of the incumbents on their team. Since there is the stong probability that one incumbent has placed the other two incumbents on their team, this would mean that their costs would be significantly different for Phase In than for the other competitiors. In fairness to all competitors it was believed that you would exclude the Phase In Period Price from the TEP. Please confirm that this is still your position | |||
| Answer: | The current contracts are being performed by 3 separate contractors. Every offeror will incur phase-in costs. Due to this, the phase-in cost will not be excluded from the TEP. | ||
