Consolidated Q&A

	K - Contracting C - Cost/Pricing T- Technical P - Past Performance	Solicitation
Reference (Section, page, paragraph, etc.)	PWS Reference
(paragraph, page, etc.)	Additional/
Cross Reference	Discussion/Comment/Question	Govt. Response
	Draft C-001	L.3.3.2, Section B, Page 105			"…The Offeror shall not provide a price for cost-reimbursable CLINs." There are NTE amounts provided in Section B for these CLINs. We would like to confirm that we should NOT complete the Amount or Estimated Cost areas of Section B, they should remain blank.	CONFIRMED: "Amount" areas for Cost-Reimbursable (CR) CLINs in Section B should remain blank and the offeror should NOT complete them. All NTE CR CLIN amounts will be completed by the USG upon contract award.
	Draft C-002	Section B, 1017, 2017, 3017, 4017 ,5017, 6017 and 7017			"…The service provider shall restrict the sue (sic - use) of all motor vehicles that receive full paid for by the Government to official purposes only." Was this meant to state …motor vehicle that receive fuel paid…..?	Typo will be corrected in the final RFP from "full" to "fuel".
	Draft C-003	Section B, Page 9	2.1.9.1, Page 2-1-7		The SP shall operate a simplified purchase program to procure parts, equipment and non-recurring non-personal services associated with the performance of this contract. The SP shall have buying authority up to the simplified acquisition threshold. Is the acquisition threshold limitation on a per transaction basis or cumulative?	The simplified acquisition threshold applies on a 'per transaction' basis.
	Draft K-001	FA3002-14-R-0015, H-003 Performance Incentive Plan, Pg 81 of 122			Will the monthly adjudication of the Performance Incentive Plan be adjudicated at Sheppard AFB or AETC Headquarters?	The contract administration will be delegated to the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) at Sheppard AFB upon award. PIP implementation and administration (including performance assessment and adjudication process) will be performed at Sheppard AFB.
	Draft K-002	Draft RFP_FA3002-14-R-0015	Section B - Supplies or Services and Prices, ITEM NO 0001 Option, Supply Services, Mobilization/Transition, page 2		The RFP states regarding the computation of Mobilization/Transition costs that "...included herein should be of a non-recurring nature that are directly associated with the start-up such as, but not limited to: hiring employees, processing installation entry/security requirements and accounting for Government provided property. Additionally, include any costs associated with finalizing the contract after the end of the final contract period." Considering the incumbent will have zero to minimal costs compared to that of the Offerors, the incumbent will have an unfair advantage in this area. Request that the Government consider having a Plug Cost for Mobilization/Transition in order to ensure the incumbent does not have an unfair advantage over the rest of the Offerors.	The mere existence of inherent competitive advantage through incumbency does not create an unfair competitive advantage (ref: GAO B-266339.2, Apr 16, 1996, 96-1 CPD 188 at 7, Optimum Tech, Inc.). For example, an incumbent contractor's acquired technical expertise or firsthand knowledge of the costs of performing a requirement does not constitute an unfair advantage. The Government does not intend to equalize or discount such advantage, therefore, a "plug cost" for mobilization will not be utilized.
	Draft K-003	Attachment 2, Current CBA	Page 1		Often times CBAs get updated after a re-negotiation between the Union and the Prime incumbent. Has there been any CBA addendums or changes since the 18 May 2015 publication date?	There are no addenda to the primary CBA released with the draft RFP; however, there is a second CBA that covers the part of the workforce under the AGE subcontractor (TSquare). The most current version of that CBA will be released in the final RFP as Attachment 4b.
	Draft K-004	Attachment 1a - PWS, 2.1.22.12.1.	Page 46		The PWS states that " The SP shall provide all general purpose vehicles defined as commercial design motor vehicles procurable and available from regular production lines and available also for civilian use." Considering the incumbent has already purchased the present SP vehicles that are on the program, this gives the incumbent an unfair advantage over their competitors. Request that the Government consider having a Plug Cost for SP vehicles in order to ensure the incumbent does not have an unfair advantage over the rest of the Offerors.	See the response in Draft K-002. A "plug cost" for vehicles will not be utilized.
	Draft K-005	Attachment 2, Current CBA			Considering this contract is being performed under a CBA, there is significant financial and performance risk to Offerors who do not have the current workforce demographics for basis of estimate purposes. There is also the risk associated with proposing a "junior" work force and then upon award realizing the current workforce is more senior." This may lead to financial risk for the offerors upon award by having to hire more senior level positions than expected. And not knowing these demographics provides an unfair advantage to the incumbent who has this knowledge. In order to ensure the Offeror does not have an unfair advantage, request the CBA workforce demographics to include the following: 1)Seniority List; 2) Average Yearly Vacation Hours per Employee; 3) Number of Employees per labor grade; 4) Number of people taking single or family benefit plans (i.e., medical, dental, vision, etc.,	The detailed information requested is considered proprietary data and the Government is prohibited from providing proprietary workforce demographic information. However, Attachment 15 of the final RFP will provide employment dates of the current union workforce, as deemed releasable and provided by the incumbent.
	Draft K-006	H-003 Performance Incentive Plan, Page 81 of 122			Will the monthly adjudication of the Performance Incentive Plan be adjudicated at Sheppard AFB or AETC Headquarters?	The contract administration will be delegated to the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) at Sheppard AFB upon award. PIP implementation and administration (including performance assessment and adjudication process) will be performed at Sheppard AFB.
	Draft K-007	PWS 2.1.20.2.1	Page 2-1-40, PWS 2.1.20.2.1	L.4.3.3.2 Manpower Determination	Will the Government provide a summary of the current workforce demographics? The data will assist with accurately estimating productive hours, and medical benefits costs.	See the response in Draft K-005.
	Draft K-008	Section I, Page 82 of 122			We will be making ODC purchases on CLINs X013 through X016. Some supplies may be available from government sources. Will the government consider including FAR 52.251-1? If so, would the government consider granting access to these resources in support of FFP CLINs?	FAR Clause 52.251-1 will be included in the final RFP and apply as prescribed in FAR Part 51.107.
	Draft K-009	PWS			The PWS provides for maintenance and support for pilots for other countries, primarily NATO. This is potentially a 'Deemed Export'. Can the government specify under which agreements this support will be provided as part of our ITAR compliance review?	"Deemed Export" refers to release of controlled technology to foreign persons under the authority of an export license granted by the Bureau of Industry and Security prior to release. Typical organizations using "deemed export" licenses include universities (for scientific research), high tech research labs, bio-chemical firms, as well as the medical and computer sectors. Sheppard Aircraft Maintenance requirement is simply for maintaining T-6 and T-38 aircraft and does not involve releasing any controlled technology to foreign persons. Therefore, International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulations (EAR) compliance is not required for nor applicable to this requirement.
	Draft K-010	PWS 1.1.2	1-1-1, PWS 1.1.2		The PWS provides for maintenance and support for pilots for other countries, primarily NATO. This is potentially a 'Deemed Export'. Do any countries outside the thirteen (13) listed in PWS 1.1.2 participate in ENJPT?	See the response in Draft K-009. There are no additional participating nations other than listed 13 nations at this time.
	Draft K-011		RFP Attachment - Proposal Incorporation Memorandum		Per Attachment 5, will the final RFP still state “In spite of FAR Clause 52.215-8, Order

of Precedence – Uniform Contract Format, the Performance Work Statement, as

amended, shall take precedence over any portion(s) of the proposal incorporated."?	Yes. The FAR 52.215-8 Order of Precedence is: a) Schedule; b) Representations; c) Contract Clauses; d) Other documents, exhibits, and attachments; and e) Specification. The specific intent of the Attachment 5 language is to clearly identify that the requirements established by the PWS take precedence over incorporated portions of the proposal should any conflicts or inconsistencies arise during contract performance.
	Draft P-001	L.5.2.2 Summary Page, page 113			RFP: "Describe the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner for whom the offeror is required to provide PPI." How is it determined for which subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner the offeror is required to provide PPI?	L.5.2.2 paragraph was revised to add, "in accordance with L.5.2.3" at the end of first sentence. L.5.2.2 refers to L.5.2.3, Past Performance Information (PPI) states: "Submit information on no more than four (4) total recent contracts the offeror considers most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. Two (2) of the past performance references may be for subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partners, that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement."
	Draft T-001	PWS 2.1.10.11.1	2.1.10.11.1, Page 2-1-11		The incumbent SP shall provide employee training records to the employee NLT the first day of contract change-over period. Is the contract change over period the same as Mobilization/Transition period?	USG intended to state, "….the first day of Mobilization/changeover period." The PWS was corrected accordingly.
	Draft T-002	PWS 2.1.8	2.1.8. Maintenance Information Systems (MIS)		PWS states: "For T-38 interface the SP shall use the Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS)." Question: What system is the SP to use for T-6 interface?	Removed statement on IMIS because the SP is not required to input anything into IMIS. Additionally, there is a Technical Order (TO) requirement for an Integrated Data Acquisition Recorder System (IDARS) download on the T-6, however, the SP is not required to input any information.
	Draft T-003	FA3002-14-R-0015, L.4.3.1.1 Mobilization, Pg 108 of 122	H-5 & (See Appendix G)		Will the Government provide the same support vehicles, that they are providing today on the current contract or should offeror's bid to provide 100% of the required fleet? i.e. Tugs and AGE.	No, all vehicles, including tugs, will be SP provided with the exception of a crash recovery trailer. Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) is GFE, which will be provided by the Government.
	Draft T-004	FA3002-14-R-0015 Maintenance, Pg. 109 of 122	3.1.1.6., Pg. 3-1-2	One Time Inspections (OTIs)	The workload associated with OTIs is not predictable and could present elevated risk for an offeror, will make every effort to complete these tasks within the fixed price labor CLINs-but intensive, projected OTIs could prove to be costly. Does the government consider OTIs as - over-and-above work? If no, will the government provide an estimate of annual work hours associated with this work?	No, one-time inspections are not over and above. They are a standard part of the requirement. OTIs are rare and usually locally developed, therefore, any OTIs that may have been accomplished would be imbedded in the workload estimates that were provided and part of the man hour per flying hour.
	Draft T-005	FA3002-14-R-0015 Maintenance, L.4.3.2.1, Pg 109 of 122	2.1.11.1., Pg 2-1-12	One Time Inspections (OTIs)	The workload associated with OTIs is not predictable and could present elevated risk for an offeror, will make every effort to complete these tasks within the fixed price labor CLINs-but intensive, projected OTIs could prove to be costly. Does the government consider OTIs as - over-and-above work? If no, will the government provide an estimate of annual work hours associated with this work?	See the response in Draft T-004.
	Draft T-006	Attachment 1a - PWS 3.1.3.15. Off Station Recovery	Page 68		PWS states that the Service Provider (SP) establish Maintenance Recovery Team(s) (MRT) and provide vehicles and trailers to perform off-station recovery of disabled aircraft IAW AFI 21-101. Are these vehicle recovery trailers Service provider - owned? How many does the government require to have on hand?	Yes, they are SP owned. The number of these vehicles should be proposed based upon the offeror's assessment of the Government provided workload data.
	Draft T-007	PWS 2.1.8 Maintenance Information Systems (MIS).	Page 2-1-6		PWS states: "For T-38 interface the SP shall use the Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS)." What system is the SP to use for T-6 interface?	Removed statement on IMIS because the SP is not required to input anything into IMIS. Additionally, there is a Technical Order (TO) requirement for an Integrated Data Acquisition Recorder System (IDARS) download on the T-6, however, the SP is not required to input any information.
	Draft T-008	PWS 2.1.8.1	Page 2-1-6	Throughout PWS	PWS states: "The SP shall use MIS products and perform all MIS input tasks IAW AFI 21-101, AFI 21-101 AETC SUP, AFI 21-103, TO 00-25-254-1, AFCSM 21-556 (V2), AFCSM 21-303 (V2) and 00-20 series TOs." This is only one example of references to directives throughout the PWS. When and where may offerors gain access to cited directives in the PWS?	The offerors can access AF publications on an approved military website, www.e-publishing.af.mil (e-pubs) as stated in PWS 2.1.16.1. Majority of local Sheppard publications are also accessible via the same e-pubs website. Some Sheppard pubs, such as Base Plans, are restricted due to security concerns (these are base procedural documents and non-cost related). Only the contract awardee will be granted access upon successful completion of a security clearance.
	Draft T-009	PWS 3.1.4.26 Transient Aircraft Maintenance	Page 3-1-18		PWS States: "Transient Maintenance is a US only cost, funded on a US only CLIN versus an ENJJPT funded function. Due to this reason, Transient Maintenance functions cannot be combined with other T-6 and T-38 functions (ex, CDDAR and off station recovery) that are funded through ENJJPT. The Transient Maintenance function must be on a separate CLIN and consist of Transient Aircraft Maintenance only. To what CLIN does the SP charge specialist support from the ENJJPT maintenance staff to repair a transient aircraft, per PWS Para 3.1.4.26.1?	Transient maintenance costs should be priced on the transient maintenance CLIN.
	Draft T-010	PWS 3.1.7.5.1	Page 3-1-24		PWS states: "The SP shall be responsible for the periodic change out of all exhaust filters in the painting bay." Are the exhaust filters themselves to be Government furnished or SP furnished? If the latter, is the cost of these filters reimbursable?	These are Government provided either through normal supply channels or via the simplified purchase program.
	Draft T-011	PWS 3.1.10.1 Government Observations	Page 3-1-25		PWS states: "The 80th Flying Training Wing Commander (Functional Commander) will be responsible for continuous observation of the SP’s performance IAW the Government Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), written as 80 FTW OI 21-101, and any clauses included in the contract." Where can offerors gain access to the cited 80 FTW OI?	The 80 FTW OI has been corrected in the PWS to read "21-1". The offerors can access AF publications on an approved military website, www.e-publishing.af.mil (e-pubs) as stated in PWS 2.1.16.1. While the majority of local Sheppard publications are also accessible via the same e-pubs website, some Sheppard pubs, such as Base Plans, are restricted due to security requirements (these are base procedural documents and non-cost related). The contract awardee will be granted access upon successful completion of security clearance.
	Draft T-012	Appendix A
			The appendix contains and exhaustive list of publications which offerors will likely need to address in their proposals. How and when can offerors obtain access to these references?	See the reponse in Draft T-011.
	Draft T-013	Appendix BC			The last month of data shown in this appendix is September 2014. Will this data be updated when the final PWS is posted to include FY 15 results?	Yes, the historical data in Appendix BC will be updated through the latest full FY15 month available.
	Draft T-014	L.4.3.1.2 Quality Management System (QMS). M.4.1.1.2. Quality Management System (QMS)
Subparagraphs b) and d), Page 110			RFP: "b) Methods to identify and track discrepancies, analyze root causes, and document discrepancy trends. d)System to record, compute, assess and report performance measurement data." Will the Government accept the use of an automated software system for recording, computing, assessing, performing trend analysis, and reporting performance measurement data; or is there one such already in use AETC wide?	There is not an AETC-wide standard system. If the proposal provides an automated software system that complies with L.4.3.1.2. and M.4.1.1.2. evaluation criteria, it will be acceptable to the Government.
	Draft T-015	PWS 2.1.22.12.4	2-1-42, PWS 2.1.22.12.4		This PWS paragraph references Appendix IC. Please clarify the reference, we can not find Appendix in the draft PWS document.	These are Government furnished equipment lists and will be provided in the Final RFP.
	Draft T-016	PWS 2.1.23.1	2-1-45, PWS 2.1.23.1		Note: Custodial services are provided for restrooms and office areas on a scheduled basis. What is the schedule for office and restroom cleaning?	Deleted Note from PWS paragraph 2.1.23.1. As per PWS paragraph 2.1.26.10, the base custodial contract provides for custodial services in certain identified areas. For these areas, the SP is still expected to keep the general appearance maintained (e.g. ensure no trash on the floor, clean spills, etc.). The base custodial schedule is subject to change, but can be requested through the CO upon occupation of the facilities.
	Draft T-017	PWS 2.1.26.10	2-1-52, PWS 2.1.26.10		This paragraph states: The Government will provide custodial services through the base custodial contract, to include equipment, materials, supplies/consumables, labor, etc., for administrative offices, latrines/restrooms, break rooms, hallways, and common areas in all buildings occupied by the SP. PWS 2.1.23.1 says the SP shall ensure hangars, industrial areas, office, break room, warehouses, and restroom areas under the SP’s control present a professional (clean and neat) appearance at all
times. Question: Please clarify housekeeping/custodial responsibilities?	See the response in Draft T-016.
	Draft T-018	L.4.3.1.1 Mobilization, Page 108 of 122		L.4.3.1.1 Mobilization	Will the Government provide a list of GFE vehicles and equipment with the release of the final solicitation?	There are no Government provided vehicles except for a crash recovery trailer. The Government provided equipment list will be provided with the final RFP.
	Draft T-019	L.4.3.1.1 Mobilization, Page 108 of 122			Section L requires offerors to provide mobilization timelines "to include start and completion dates" for required mobilization elements. All dates in our plan will hinge on the contract start date as authorized by the Government. For planning purposes, will the Government provide an estimated/notional start date to facilitate offeror mobilization planning in accordance with Section L requirements?	Mobilization is anticipated to begin on 1 Sep 2016.
	Draft T-020	L.4.3.1.2 Quality Management System (QMS), Page 109 of 122			Section L requires a mobilization plan with start and completion dates. A combination of factors, such as post-award protests or administrative delay, may cause a lag time between contract award date and the actual start date authorized by the Government's notice to proceed. For planning purposes, may the offeror assume the Start Date for mobilization begins on upon receipt of the Government's Notice to Proceed?	Mobilization is anticipated to begin on 1 Sep 2016.
	Draft T-021	L.4.3.2.1(h) Off station recovery maintenance, page 111	PWS 3.1.1.7 , page 3-1-2	PWS Appendix BB, Tables BB-11 through BB-15	PWS states: "The SP shall provide for transient aircraft support, Crashed, Damaged or Disabled Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) and off-station aircraft recovery." The data in the tables only extends through September 2014 and will be almost a year out of date when the RFP is released. Will the Government update these tables to include more current, FY 2015 off-station recovery history when the final RFP is posted?	No, the off-station recovery tables provide a two year history and represent what is considered a normal amount of recoveries per year. (NOTE: FY 15 data has not been finalized at this time; however, historically, the number of CDDAR and off-station aircraft recovery incidents has varied insignificantly)
	Draft T-022	L.4.3.2.1. (a) Page 111	PWS 3.1.1.7 , page 3-1-2	Table BB.10. Transient Aircraft Estimated Workload Data., page BB-11	The data in these tables only extends through FY 2014 and will be almost a year out of date when the RFP is released.

	Draft T-025				Will Pertinent Data Files* be available upon the release of the final RFP?* Pertinent Data Files would include historical data for Daily Aircraft Status, Monthly Maintenance Plan Reports, Daily Mission Capable (MC) status, Out of Service Aircraft including out of service date and reasons (Awaiting Parts, Unscheduled Maintenance, Phase Maintenance etc.), visibility on the fleet Inspection Yield (Time Remaining) for each or those aircraft, etc.	Data provided in the PWS, to include Maintenance Logistics Indicator Report data, will be provided with the final RFP.
	Draft T-026				What reports / CDRLs will the Air Force require to be submitted by the Service Provider (SP)? Will a list of these reports / CDRLs be available prior to the release of the final RFP?	Required reports are included in Appendix D of the PWS. All deliverable requirements are listed in the PWS and will be provided with the final RFP.
	Draft T-027				The draft PWS specifies the required years of experience for some positions; will the final RFP / PWS / technical library include the experience of the workforce currently covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)?	The detailed information requested is considered proprietary data and the Government is prohibited from providing proprietary workforce demographic information. However, Attachment 15 of the final RFP will provide employment dates of the current union workforce, as deemed releasable and provided by the incumbent.
	Draft T-028	Section B - CLINs X005			The draft PWS and CLINs X005 mentions transient aircraft and maintenance of the transient aircraft. The draft PWS only provides one year of historical data. Will more historical data be provide or available in the technical library to allow the SP to propose staff accordingly?

The SP will be required to provide a headcount, by position, for each individual who will be working OT. However, the draft PWS didn’t include a timeframe for that requirement. How many days / weeks in advance of weekend or holiday flying will be provided to allow the SP to provide required headcount, by position, for each individual who will be working OT and allow the ACO to provide authorization / negotiate the OT?	The SP will be notified of the Government’s intent to fly on weekend or holiday by COB the Thursday before flying should commence. The Government will provide the most advanced notification possible so that the SP may plan accordingly. The union requires notification of OT by noon on Friday before the weekend/holiday flying begins.
	Draft T-031		PWS 3.1.3.5.		Per draft PWS Section 3.1.3.5 – SP required to support the Flight Line Striping Efforts – typically on weekends. Does this activity qualify for USG authorized OT?	No, it should be included in the basic price since the flightline re-striping occurs based on a schedule (every two years). PWS Appendix BB will be updated to include this workload and will be provided in the final RFP.
	Draft T-032	Section B-1 Clause			Per Section B-1, the Fight Hours “may be adjusted periodically.” Will the SP be allowed to adjust manning / adjust CLINs due to the adjusted fight hours?	The projected flght hours are periodically adjusted by HQ AETC/A3R. The changed flight hours will result in Flying Hour Band shifts in CLINs X002 - X004 and contract price will be adjusted IAW Section B, Clause B-1. Manpower adjustments are business decisions made by the SP.
	Draft T-033		PWS 2.1.8.		Per draft PWS Section 2.1.8 MIS System – Will the SP use an existing USG system? Or will the SP need to create their own MIS system?	The SP will utilize existing Government systems.

	Draft T-037	PWS Section 3-2, Note H and Note I	Per drafted PWS Section 3-2, Note H and Note I - In the calculations for Repeat and
Recurring Discrepancies, will those component failures that are identified as High Failure items due to their design or inherent problems that either are undergoing an Engineering type review for potential modification, upgrade, and/or a fleet retrofit or those that have been accepted with this low reliability condition and where no action will be taken by the USAF to affect change, be excluded from the calculations and performance grading?	These types of items will be given consideration if the SP submits a waiver request per the requirements of the PWS.
