Reference: RFQ # FA3016-21-U-0001, Questions.

Reason: Provide Government responses to the questions submitted by interested offerors on or before 25 January 2021. There were five (5) questions submitted and the responses are included in this amendment, along with a revised Price List.

B. The instructions, terms and conditions included in the RFQ remain the same.

Questions & Responses

1. How many performances does USAF expect to have/request per year?

Response: The number of performances requiring requested support per year will vary greatly, however, we anticipate anywhere from two to ten guest artist performances or musical commissions in any year.

2. Will the USAF have preferences on which band or performers are used? Our current USAF contract usually requests specific music performers or bands.

Response: Yes, and that request will be communicated each time the BPA is utilized.

3. Once the solicitation is awarded, what criteria is used when choosing a small business for each BPA?

Response: First, the Government published this requirement as a Total Small Business set-aside. In the solicitation (refer RFQ, paragraph 10), FAR 52.212-3, the Government requested certifications and representations, allowing all interested offerors to submit the company’s affiliates with their quote separately. (Note that, it is up to the offeror’s discretion to include this data in the Technical volume). In the FAR clause, 13 CFR 121.103 clearly supports the Government to confirm the affiliation based the factors set forth therein, along with Small Business Administration’s corroboration. The Government will be achieving verification simultaneously during evaluations, and prior to establishing a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a business. Finally, once the multiple-award BPAs are established, we will continue following the procedures outlined in FAR 8.405-3.

4. Will travel for each performance be allowed to be billed according to the JTR?

Response: Yes.

5. For the Guest Artist rates on the Price List (including the potential talents listed under the Management Requirements and some of the items listed under the Business Requirements), I cannot quote at this time since I do not know the specifics of the program or event. If the forms are incomplete, will this disqualify me?

Response: Please see the revised Price List attached to this amendment. If you charge a rate, please use the % indication to present your rate, and/or if you charge a fee, please use the $ indication to present your fee.

Incomplete forms--If there is a negative response, please make note of it in your applicable approach (either Technical, Pricing and/or Past Performance).
