About this file
This document contains responses to questions regarding Solicitation Number FA2823-21-Q-A019 for a GPS GNSS Simulator system. The solicitation is seeking proposals for a basic system meeting minimum requirements, with the option to propose additional contemplated features. The Government will not accept milestone payments or partial deliveries without full requirements. While alternate proposals for basic and enhanced systems are permitted, award will still be based on lowest price technically acceptable for only the minimum requirements. Proposed contemplated features would not factor into evaluation but could provide market research value. The solicitation is issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center for an LPTA-evaluated GPS simulator meeting provided requirements and specifications.

FA282321QA019 – GPS GNSS Simulator Consolidated Requests for Information As of 18 May 2021
Question 1): Is the government amenable to providing contract financing in the form of milestone payments? Is it possible to receive a milestone payment upon delivery of the system that is not fully TRD compliant and then receive a final payment upon delivery of hardware meeting the full contract requirement? Specifically, we would like to receive a milestone payment upon delivery of the initial hardware, which includes all requirements except the GPS Y/M code module, and then receive a final payment when upon delivery of the GPS Y/M code module.
Response 1): No, the Government has no use for the equipment without the Y/M code module and would prefer to not pay for it beforehand.
Question 2): Will the government accept alternate proposals for this requirement, i.e., one proposal for a system meeting the basic requirements and a separate proposal for a system that meets the basic requirements and includes some or all of the “contemplative” (C) or desired features contained in the TRD? If so, how will the evaluation be accomplished using the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, since the offer with the enhanced capability would be more expensive than the basic offer? If alternate proposals are not permitted, how does the government plan to consider “contemplative” (C) or desired features or are they of no benefit in the evaluation?
Response 2): We will accept alternate/multiple quotes, but it is still LPTA and the bare minimum are the requirements and lowest priced will be awarded. The customer did not make the contemplatives an actual requirement because they thought it would make it a brand name requirement and wanted to keep competition open.
If your company can provide the contemplatives it would be more like market research for any future requirements unless it happens to be the lowest priced, technically acceptable option.
