Section QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

1 CDRL List

CDRL A009 (box 5) references PWS paragraph 3.5.1.1, which does not exist. Can you confirm this is referencing PWS paragraph 3.5.1? The same reference is made in PWS Exhibit A

CDRL A009, box 5 has been corrected to note paragraph 3.5.1.

2 CDRL List

Several CDRLs (A001, A002, A003, A005, A006, A007, and A008) identify a Monthly Status Report (either CDRL B003 or B101) in the remarks (box 16), but there is no Monthly Status Report CDRL included in the draft documentation. Please clarify how the number and dates of report deliveries are to be reported. It appears this should reference the Program Management Review (CDRL B003), which is delivered semi-annually.

CDRL B004 Monthly Status Report was created. CDRLS A001, A002, A003, A005, A006, A007, and A008 have been updated to note CDRL B004.

3 CDRL List

Should the subtitle (box 3) on CDRL A004 be “PBWO Continuity Binder” to match the PWS 1.2.1.3.1 and Exhibit A references or does the continuity binder CDRL cover the entire PWS?

Added word "PBWO" to box 3 in CDRL A004 to match PWS reference to A004.

4 Section L Does the Government budget include ODCs? The government budget includes ODC estimates.

5 Section L

Section 2.8.4 mentions that Past Performance will be reviewed. Please clarify if offeror needs to include any past performance details in their proposal.

Section 2.8.4 has been rewritten as: Past performance will be reviewed to ensure the offeror’s responsibility and to demonstrate their capability to perform the 4MS requirement ability to perform the contract successfully but past performance will not be an evaluation factor. IAW FAR 15.304(c)(3)(iii) the CO has determined past performance is not an appropriate evaluation factor for this acquisition because it would not be a discriminator for selection Offerors do not need to provide any Past Performance information.

6 Section L

Table L-1 (Proposal Organization Table) identifies Technical Scenarios as Tab 1, but the format identified later in the section identifies this as Tab 2. In addition, can you clarify if there is a page limit for Subfactor 1 (Staffing plan – including Attachments L-2 and L-3) or if 27 pages are allowed for Subfactor 2 (PWS Technical Approach).

Table L-1 has been corrected to note Technical Scenarios as Tab 2.

Table L-1, Staffing Plan notes "Unlimited pages" & 27 page limit for PWS Approach. Volume I Page limitation now notes: This 43 page limitation excludes the Cover Sheet, and Staffing Plan and Tables L-2 & L3.

7 Section L

The draft Section L identifies redacting 3 hardcopies/1 electronic copy of the technical volume. Since identifying our approach will include company-specific details, we recommend removing this requirement so that our approach can be fully expressed.

Comment has been noted but the requirement will remain.

Company specific details are okay as long as you do not NAME your company.

8 Section L

If anonymity (paragraph 3.10.2.2) is not removed, can you clarify the extent of redacting that is required (e.g., just removing company name/logo on the binder)?

As stated in paragraph 3.10.2.2, first sentence, "… no company identifying information. No company name, no company logo, no company employee names, no resumes, etc. throughout the entire document. Offerors are encouraged to express their approach to the fullest extent without stating their identity.

9 Section L

Paragraph 6.1.10.5 identifies Financial Documentation as a second Tab 10. Please clarify if this should be Tab 11 or the earlier Tab 10 should be removed.

Everything in Paragraph 6.1.10 will be included in Tab 10.

Paragraph 6.1.10.5 financial documentation will be found under tab 10. Removed the words "Tab 10" after 6.1.10.5 so there is no confusion.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Number Draft

Section QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

Section L, Atch L-2 Staffing

Plan

It is unclear from the example table what the Government wants in the summary rows (e.g., 1.2.1 Total). Does the Government want the Man hours/month totals by all PDs or by distinct PD?

Attachment L-2, Staffing plan has been revised to note the annual number of hours /FTE.

Section L, Atch L-2 Staffing

Plan

It is unclear how the Government will visualize the total staff size based upon this table. Do you want the grand total summarized by PDs at the end of the table or a separate organizational chart?

Attachment L-2, Staffing PlanTable has been revised in MS Excel format so each PWS paragraph will require a sum of the FTE and Annual Hours. Summarizing the PD hours and FTE is not found in Table L-2 and will not be required.

Section L, Atch L-2 Staffing

Plan

To ensure compliance, please identify the level of details needed in the individual PWS sections and total rows needed (e.g., summary at third level of PWS, details at all lower levels).

Section L, paragraph 4.1.3.1.1 has been rewritten: Staffing Plan Table, Part a) Attachment L-2 Use the format identified in Attachment L-2 and provide data on each descriptive paragraph following paragraph 1.2 in the PWS down to the lowest level listed. Data in the Staffing Plan table includes:

• PWS paragraph number

• PD reference number Identification of which position descriptions(PDs) will be used to fulfill each PWS Paragraph

• Identification of Labor Category titles with corresponding Bureau of Labor Statistics Class Identification number and Service and Occupational Classifications (SOCs)

• Man hours per year &

• FTE per year.

• Identification of each personnel as a member of the Prime contract or a sub-contract or teaming partner

• Identification of security clearance

Section L, Atch L-4

Total Price Summary

This table includes $50K plug numbers for Government Established Travel and Training Materials, so either the individual periods are incorrect or the TOTAL field of $50K is incorrect. Please clarify the plug numbers you want offerors to utilize.

The government established amounts are provided by the government and shall be used. Section L, Atch L-4 has been changed to a MS Excel file that sums logically.
