Tracking Number Question Answer Reference

Q0001 Section 4.(c) is asking for additional information to determine the Quality and Satisfaction Rating of Contracts.

Will this information count toward the 5 Page limit set for the Past Performance Information Sheets?

No, the information requested in Addendum to 52.212-1, Part IV, para. (c) does not count toward the five (5) page limit for Past Performance Information sheets. Section 4(c)

Q0002

As stated, "Performance must be done as the prime contractor, or, if a member of a joint venture, the Offeror must have contributed at least 50% of the effort", the evaluation of ONLY prime contractors discounts all substantial past performance of larger relevant subcontract work. For example, one of our substantial and highly relevant contracts is in fact a subcontract in which we receive our own CPARs from the Government on our performance. We ask the Government to reconsider the evaluation guideline for Past Performance to include subcontracts.

RFP Table 2 will not be modified. The role of prime contractors varies from that of subcontractors; prime contractors have additional responsibilities, particularly contract management, that subcontractors do not and which are very relevant to the past performance evaluation.

RFP pg. 48, Table 2

Q0003 Section FAR52.212-1 (m)(C)(4)(e) indicates that "typing shall not be less than 10 pitch. Size of print is applicable to charts and graphs." As 10 pitch is equal to 12 point sized font, would it be acceptable to reduce the font size for charts, graphs and tables to 10 point?

Yes, the font size for charts, graphs and tables may be reduced to 10 point. RFP 42 of 67, FAR 52.212- 1(m)(C)(4)(e)

Q0004 Table 2 Past Performance Relevancy Ratings provided as part of the Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation indicates that 90%/60% of the performance must have been on a military installation. Could the Government please provide a definition for "military installation"? Does this include DoD facilities?

"Military installation" is defined as a base, camp, post, station, yard, center or other activity under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of a military department or, in the case of an activity in a foreign country, under the operational control of the Secretary of a military department or the Secretary of Defense. DoD facilities that do not meet this definition are not included and are not as relevant to the current effort due to the dissimiliarity between military installations and DoD facilities.

RFP 48 of 67, Past Performance Relevancy Ratings para. (A)

Q0005

Part I - Summary and Miscellaneous Data section (h) requires the submission of certified financial statements to assist the Government in determining contractor responsibility in accordance with FAR 9.104-3(a). This FAR section does not require offerors to provide certified financial statements. In addition, as a small business we are not required to have our financial statements certified/audited annually. As this requirement would put extensive financial burden on a small business, would the Government consider accepting uncertified/uaudited financial statements and/or independently prepared federal tax returns in lieu of certified financial statements? We can also demonstrate financial responsibility from external support through a Line of Credit letter from our bank.

A line of credit letter from a Financial Institute would satisfy this requirement; as stated in para.

1(h): "If the offeror plans to rely on financial support from external sources, documentation of availability and maximum lines of credit available (based upon the inclusion of this contract effort) must be submitted. Evidence of external funding must be provided in the form of a dated letter from the external source."

RFP 37 of 67, Part I - Summary and Misc. Data para. 1(h)

Q0006 May offerors please submit questions in the body of an email versus on Attachment 8? Also, when using Attachment 8, offerors cannot check a single box for the "Type Question". As soon as you click on the box, it places a check in every box. Finally, when typing in the COMMENT/QUESTION area of attachment 8, the text is automatically centered and cannot be adjusted.

Questions must be submitted individually using the Question and Answer Form, Attachment 8 to the RFP. The check box and text settings have been corrected on the Form.

Attachment 8, Question and Answer Form

Q0007 Please provide the Support Agreement between the 80 FTW and 82 TRW concerning pilot pick-up. Pilot pick-up has been removed from the PWS; this question no longer applies. PWS pg. 10, para. 1.2.2.3.17 Q0008 Please provide historical workload data for the period of Feb 16 - Jan 17. Workload data was not captured due to shutdown of the legacy database and historical data was not archived. CY15 workload data was captured a the time the RFP was written. PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b

Q0009 Does the price data include ALL repairs and ALL Preventative Maintenance (PM) costs? If not, please provide comprehensive historical cost data. All repairs and all preventative maintenance costs were included with the RFP work load data. PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b

Q0010 Does the price data include all vehicles to which the service provider maintains, including those contained on Appendix 5f, the GFV furnished to the service provider? If not all vehicles, then specifically which vehicles are convered under these costs?

All Government vehicle maintenance data is included in Appendix 2b to the PWS. PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b

Q0011 Please provide PM historical costs separately from Repair historical costs. The Government's data system does not separate PM costs from repair costs. PM and repair costs are combined. PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b

Q0012 This workload contains a column labeled "total Major Work Orders +051". This is rather confusing. Are the numbers of work orders in the column for MAJOR WORK ORDERS ONLY? It seems the numbers are not an acurate representation for the fleet size and characteristics.

Appendix 2b of the PWS has been revised for clarification. Referenced column has been renamed "work orders". PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b

Q0013 What is the historical number of work orders for other than "Major Work Orders"? Appendix 2b of the PWS has been revised for clarification. PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b Q0014 What is the historical number of work orders for all work orders, including major, and other than major? Appendix 2b of the PWS has been revised for clarification. PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b

Q0015 Are any of the costs listed in the workload reimbursable?

No, all CLINs are firm fixed price; all costs are the responsibility of the service provider. TDY costs will be reimbursed using a firm fixed price, not to exceed CLIN, in accordance with the joint travel regulation (JTR). Government directed overtime will be paid by the Government in accordance with applicable CBAs.

PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b

Q0016 Who pays for PM parts and materials? Who pays for repair parts and materials? Are any of the above costs reimbursable to the service provider?

All CLINs are firm fixed price; all costs are the responsibility of the service provider. The Government's expectation is that the offeror's proposal will include these costs. See Appendix 2b to the PWS and Attachment 14 - Vehicle Work Order History.

PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b

FY18 Logistics Services Initial Q & A

FA3020-17-R-0002

FY18 Logistics Services Initial Q & A

Q0017 Is this reference applicable to repair parts or only to parts used for preventative maintenance? Please clarify.

As stated in the referenced paragraph, "[t]he SP shall provide all materials and supplies. The SP may order repair parts for 463L Material Handling Equipment and Military Design vehicles through supply channels, on a reimburseable basis, if those parts are available only through Government supply channels." Parts for preventative maintenance are not included.

PWS pg. 38, para. 2.2.2 Materials Furnished

Q0018 Does the service provider pay for parts and materials for repairs of all vehicles or just parts for preventative maintenance? Are any of the above costs reimbursable to the service provider?

The SP shall provide all materials and supplies. All CLINs are firm fixed price; all costs are the responsibility of the service provider. The Government's expectation is that the offeror's proposal will include these costs. See Appendix 2b to the PWS and Attachment 14 - Vehicle Work Order History.

PWS pg. 38, para. 2.2.1 and 2.2.2

Q0019 Is the service provider reimbursed for parts and materials costs for repairs of vehicles?

All CLINs are firm fixed price; all costs are the responsibility of the service provider. The Government's expectation is that the offeror's proposal will include these costs. See Appendix 2b to the PWS and Attachment 14 - Vehicle Work Order History.

PWS pg. 38, para. 2.2.1 and 2.2.2

Q0020 Please provide historical cost data for parts ordered for 463L Material Handling Equipment and Military Design vehicles by the service provider, through supply channels, where the service provider had to reimburse the government for the parts.

All parts are paid for by the SP, see Appendix 2b to the PWS for historical cost data. PWS pg. 38, para. 2.2.2 Materials Furnished

Q0021 This reference contains bldg. 2115, the Military Service Station and Ground Product Storage area. We cannot locate a requirement for the service provider to receive or issue fuel products. Please clarify why this facility is in the GFF listing.

Appendix 5a has been revised to remove this facility. PWS pg. 65, Appendix 5a

Q0022 Is Material Management, After Hours Support, required to be physically staffed by the service provider during the hours indicated?

Yes, the Government expects Material Management, After Hours Support to be physically staffed by the SP during the hours indicated.

PWS pg. 19, para. 1.3.1, Normal Hours of Operation

Q0023 Is Material Management, Weekend Standby and Holiday Standby, required to be physically staffed by the service provider during the hours indicated?

No, hours identified as 'stand by' do not require physical staffing. It is the Government's expectation that the SP will have individuals on call and available to physically staff if needed.

The PWS has been revised to clarify that a one hour response time is expected.

PWS pg. 19, para. 1.3.1, Normal Hours of Operation

Q0024 What hours is Material Management required to be physically staffed by the service provider? 0730-1630? Hours of operation are identified in the RFP. Also, see answers to Q0022 and Q0023. PWS pg. 19, para. 1.3.1, Normal Hours of Operation

Q0025 Regarding the Note: “It shall be the SP’s responsibility to establish hours based on mission requirements”.

How can offerors other than the incumbent service provider, staff a proposal based on mission requirement that we aren’t aware of? Only the incumbent know the mission requirements. Please clarify or provide actual hours for all offerors to use for staffing so the proposal evaluation is fair to all.

The Government expects flexibility on the part of the SP to support mission requirements as they arise. All known mission requirements are identified within the RFP. Other requirements may include, but are not limited to, open houses, air shows and sortie catch up days (Ref. PWS

pg. 19, para. 1.3.3.)

PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b

Q0026 It is impossible for offerors other than the incumbent to reasonably & intelligently estimate REPAIR costs for vehicles under monthly FFP prices w/o substantial data. As such, and in the interest of a fair competition, please provide FULL MAINTENANCE HISTORY for every vehicle where the service provider performs repairs under monthly FFP. Please include the following data: current mileage, full maintenance history indicating dates of all repairs, parts used, parts costs, and labor hours consumed for each repair or each vehicle.

All vehicles the SP is expected to maintain are in safe and serviceable condition. See Attachment 14 - Vehicle Work Order History.

PWS pg. 55, Appendix 2b and PWS pg. 38, para 2.2.1 and 2.2.2

Q0027 Are all of these positions full time? May any of these positions be dual-hatted. Or are all of them dedicated, stand-alone positions?

The RFP states that these positions are mandatory fill positions but none are dedicated, stand-alone positions. All manning decisions are at the discretion of the SP.

PWS pg. 22, para. 1.5.1.4, Mandatory Fill Positions

Q0028 How many copy machines is the service provider required to purchase? Zero. The Government will provide four (4) multi-functional devices with fax, scan, copy and print capabilities. PWS para. 2.1.13 has been revised for clarification.

PWS pg. 40, para. 2.3.13, Printing/Duplication/Audiovisual

Q0029 Who pays for PIKE PASS and FLEET SERVICE E CARD CHARGES? Are these costs reimbursed to the service provider?

All CLINs are firm fixed price, all costs are the responsibility of the service provider. The Government's expectation is that the offeror's proposal will include these costs. See Appendix 2b to the PWS.

PWS pg. 54, Appendix 2b, Vehicle Operations Workload Estimates

Q0030 Does the SP store all hazardous materials in a SP supplied trailer or storage unit or are ones provided on site? Paragraph 1.10.11 of the PWS has been revised. All hazardous materials are stored in Government-provided facilities/containers. PWS pg. 5, para. 1.2.1.1.3

FA3020-17-R-0002

FY18 Logistics Services Initial Q & A

Q0031

RFP States (excerpts) - The Government will evaluate recent and relevant performance information on all offerors based on past performance information obtained from survey/questionnaires and any data independently obtained by the Government. To qualify, the past/present effort must: Performance must include at least two of the three required services: Base Supply, Vehicle Operations and Vehicle Maintenance. ….• Performance must be done as the prime contractor, or, if a member of a joint venture, the Offeror must have contributed at least 50% of the effort. ……Once the lowest-priced, Technically Acceptable offer is determined, the Government will then proceed to conduct the Past Performance Evaluation for the offeror. If this offeror is assessed a “Substantial Confidence” performance confidence rating, its offer will be determined to represent the best value to the Government and no other offers will be evaluated or considered.

Question – After considering the excerpts above – and our understanding, responding to this RFP, the prime offeror that does not have at least a relevant past performance will not be able to achieve the substantial confidence rating to be awarded. Many potential Prime offerors will not have the specific PP sought to attain the relevant or very relevant past performance ratings – so they are at a disadvantage bidding. Will you consider dropping the requirement for the Prime to have the specific experiences listed in Table 2 and defer to the proposed team’s submitted experiences and their relevance, without using Table 2 Past Performance Relevancy Ratings?

RFP Table 2 will not be modified. RFP pg. 48, para. 3, Table 2 Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Q0032

Paragraph states, "(a) IAW AFFARS 5352.215-9000, Facility Clearance, the offeror must possess, or acquire prior to award of a contract, a facility clearance equal to the highest classification stated on the Contract Security Classification Specification (DD Form 254), attached to this Solicitation as attachment 6."

Question: Will the government sponsor contractor to next level after selection? Or is it the intention of the government for the contractor to already have or be in the process of gaining the secrect clearance? Or, can the contractor rely on a partner/subcontractor's clearance?

A collaborate effort between the GCA and the offeror will be required to pursue a Secret facility clearance from the Defense Security Service (DSS) if the contractor does not already have or is in the process of gaining one. Each subcontractor who requires access to classified information and not already in possession of a Secret facility clearance must be sponsored by a cleared defense contractor for one. See Attachment to Q0032, Facility Clearance (FCL) Sponsorship Instructions, for more information.

RFP pg. 36, para.6(a)

Q0033 Throughout the PWS a Contract Project Manager is mentioned, but on page 22 of 109 there is a Contract Program Manager. Can you tell me if it is supposed to be Project or Program Manager?

All PWS references to 'Contract Project Manager' have been changed to 'Contract Program Manager'. PWS pg. 22, para. 1.5.1.4.1

Q0034

Will office/space be provided for the SP to conduct the following: track and manage all assets; provide a broad range of supplies, equipment, mobility bags, clothing, weapons and other material; provide immediate support for short notice and no-notice deployments, contingencies, inspections and exercises. Vehicle operations:

manage fleet of registered and non-registered vehicles; timely ground transportation of passengers and cargo via surface. Vehicle Maintenance: maintain registered and non-registered vehicles, ensure vehicles are operational, safe and ready to use.

Q0035 Are there any historical documents on how many employees to help manage these operations?

Yes, space is provided to accomplish all requested duties. See Appendix 5a to the PWS.

Historical data regarding manning is proprietary and will not be disclosed.

Q0036

Ref: ...The SP shall be responsible for maintaining these assets and replacing them as necessary with suitable SP Furnished Property (SPFP), if needed to meet mission requirements....GFE Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFV) shall be replaced by SPFP AFV.

Q: 1) In order to properly cost and price, will the government provide a current list of SPFV and SPFE being utilized on the existing contract?

2) In order to properly cost and price, will the government provide a forecasted vehicle retirement and replacement that the SP will be responsible for?

A:1) A list will not be provided. It is the SP's responsibility to determine whether additional vehicles and equipment, if any beyond that provided by the Government, are required to meet mission requirements.

A:2) The Government has not forecasted a retirement or replacement date for any provided vehicles.

PWS pg. 21, para. 1.4.1.6

Q0037

“DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The contract for which this offeror is being considered includes the Supply & Transportation Support Services described below... Then continues next page: .....Government and commercial surface/air cargo movement and passenger transportation Contingency deployment support Comment: That last line does not appear anywhere in the PWS, nor has it been part of discussions at the Site Visit. This was in the original as well as Atch 11 in the Package delivered recently. Most PPQ requests have most likely been sent out to contracting offices.

Q: Will the Government please clarify the response from contracting offices on “commercial surface/air cargo movement and passenger transportation Contingency deployment support” will not be considered in Past Performance

The summary of services in the PPQ are referenced in detail in the PWS at paragraphs 1.2.2.3.14, 1.5.6.4.1, 1.5.6.21, Vehicle Operations Workload Data para. 1.2.2.3.13, Appendix 3 to the PWS and Appendix 9 to the PWS. All of these services will be considered in the Past Performance evaluation.

PPQ, pg. 2, para. C

FY18 Logistics Services Initial Q & A

Q0038

Ref: ...Store all hazardous materials in a SP supplied trailer or storage unit, which shall be leak proof or contain secondary containment devices.

1) This CPE Trailer was not pointed out in the industry day. Is this a new requirement?

2) Will the government provide exact details of quantity, size, location and exact specification required for this SP provided trailer or storage unit for Haz Mat? This is required to in order to obtain appropriate cost to incorporate into pricing.

3) Is this requirement for the duration of the contract?

The PWS has been revised and the reference requiring the SP to provide a storage unit has been deleted. This question no longer applies. PWS pg. 34, para. 1.10.11

Q0039 The paragraph referenced above states the offeror must "Return the provision FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications." Additionally, the SF1449 states a copy of the FAR 52.212-3 is attached to the solicitation. That clause is not included in the solicitation. Please release this clause so that offerors may submit it with their proposals, as required.

FAR 52.212-3 Alt I is included in the Solicitation by reference and may be accessed at http://farsite.hill.af.mil/. IAW FAR 52.212-3 Alt. I, since SAM registration is required only para.

(b) needs to be completed.

RFP pg. 37, para. 1(c )

Q0040 In paragraphs "d" and "e" on pages 40 and 41 of the solicitation, there is no mention of a due date for the Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs). The entire proposal is due on April 28, 2017, but the PPQs must be sent directly from our references to the Government. What is the due date for PPQs?

The due date for the PPQs is also 28 April 2017. The RFP has been amended for clarification. RFP pg 40, para. (d) and pg. 41, para. (e )

Q0041 The solicitation number on the top, right-hand side of this form has a "C" in the place where an "R" is, in all other documents. What is the correct solicitation number? The correct solicitation number is FA3020-17-R-0002. RFP attachment 8

Q0042 Please provide work history data (hours), including overtime, for Supply Services, Vehicle Operations Services and Vehicle Management.

The hours of operations are provided in PWS para. 1.3. Work history data is proprietary and may not be disclosed.

Q0043 After reviewing the GFP/GFE lists provide in Attachment 13, we noticed that very few GFP/GFE items were listed for performing Vehicle Maintenance. Can the Government please elaborate on the type of equipment that the Service Provider is expected to provide for performing Vehicle Maintenance and provide a more comprehensive list of GFP/GFE for Vehicle Maintenance (i.e. lifts, special tools, tool kits, etc.)?

The GFE list has been revised to be fully inclusive. The SP is expected to provide any equipment/property not listed on the revised GFE Listing. PWS attachment 13, GFP List

Q0044 Will the Government please provide the job descriptions for the positions listed in each CBA? Job descriptions for both CBAs will be posted. CBA Q0045 Will the Government please provide the seniority list for all current CBA employees? No, this information will not be disclosed. CBA

Q0046

There appears to be a discrepancy between Section B and the Delivery information. In Section B, CLINs 0001 to 0003 show a quantity of 12 months while the CLIN descriptions show an eleven (11) month period (1 Nov 17 - 30 Sep 18) and CLIN 0006 Mobilization shows a time frame of 1 Oct 17 to 31 Oct 17. However, the Delivery Information on page 29 of 67 shows CLINs 0001 to 0005 with a Period of Performance of 01 Oct 2017 to 30 Sep 2018 and CLIN 0006 Mobilization being 01 Sep 2017 to 30 Sep 2017. Please clarify which date range/quantity are to be used for pricing.

The RFP has been amended. Additional changes not listed in this Q&A are system generated changes. RFP pg. 3-7 and 29

Q0047 Ref: ...Note that the Government will not consider performance on an effort that concluded more than three (3) years prior to the issuance date of this solicitation or less the one (1) year after release of this solicitation. Q:1) Is the offeror correct to interpret the above that in order for a past performance reference to be considered, it can not be over 3 years from solicitation to completion of the contract and must have been started at least a year ago?

Yes, performance must be no less than one (1) year and the time elapsed since the end of last contract performance will be no more than three (3) years. Atch 10 - PP

Q0048 Please confirm the Government provides the UDI Vehicles and not the Contractor.

IF the contractor does, will the Government break out the types of UDI request listed in Appendix 2b so the contractor can bid the correct type and amount of vehicles?

The Government will provide vehicles in accordance with PWS Appendix 5d. Any additional vehicles the SP deems necessary to perform services shall be provided by the SP. PWS 1.2.2.1.2 & Appendix 2b

Q0049 Page 1 / attachment 3 at the bottom of the page states: General wage increases apply only to base rates (see separate job descriptions booklet Appendix "D". There is no appendix "D"; could the Government please provide appendix "D"?

See Q0044; job descriptions for both CBAs will be posted. RFP Atch 3

Q0050 Please confirm the accuracy of the dollars shown for June and July 2015 in the parts/material/accident etc.

column as the chances of the two months having exactly the same expenditures to the penny ($34,202.10) is quite unlikely especially with the two months having different man-hours and work orders.

Appendix 2b, Vehicle Maintenance Workload Data, has been revised. PWS pg. 55

FA3020-17-R-0002

FY18 Logistics Services Initial Q & A

Q0051

The table at paragraph 1.3.1 shows that Supply has After Hours Support requirements from 1630-2400 Monday- Friday and after hours for Aircraft Parts Store Support until 0030. First question...is it mandatory physical staffing in both buildings after normal hours? Second question...Workload provided in RFP does not show what the workload is for this specific time frame to allow offerors to properly staff these functions. With workload not broken out offerors cannot correctly estimate how many FTE it will need to staff these after hours function.

Could be 1 FTE or 4 FTE? Please provide associated workload for after hours supply operations to include number of issues/receipts/turn-ins/DIFM transactions/Customer Service actions etc. Not knowing or fully understanding the workload associated with this staffing requirement is a distinct and unfair advantage to the incumbent.

After hour support is for aircraft; support is only needed in bldg 2320. Appendix 2a, Workload Estimates, has been revised. PWS, pg. 19, para. 1.3.1

Q0052 Is the Summary Page requirement for Part IV, Past Performance limited to one page or can it be more than one page? Please clarify as other instructions for Summary Page of other Parts include number of pages. We would appreciate it being more than one page.

There is no page limit unless expressly stated in the Solicitation. RFP pg. 40, para. 4.

Q0053 Can the PPQ form (attachment 11) be amended, either by the AF Contracting Office or by the proposing contractor, to allow for non-Air Force (Army, Marine, etc.) clients to provide accurate and complete reviews of the contractor's past performance providing the same supply and transportation services. This particularly relates to the response matrix questions 3 and 6.

No, the PPQ form (attachment 11) will not be modified. Non-Air Force clients should responded "N - Not Applicable" to questions 3 and 6 and may provide further explanation/recommendation in the comments section.

RFP atch 11, para. 9

Q0054 What is to be submitted to comply with the requirement on page 40, 4(a), of the "FA3020-17-R- 0002_(17_Mar_17).pdf" solicitation in Part IV Past Performance Proposal for "Client Authorization Letters"?

Does this relate strictly to provision of infomration related to performance of contracts for commercial clients?

Reference RFP pg. 40, Part IV, para. 4(i), Subcontractor Consent. The Client Authorization Letters reference permission from subcontractors to disclose past performance information. RFP para. 4(a)(7) has been revised for clarity.

RFP pg. 40, para. 4(a)(7)

Q0055 Are headers and footers allowed within the top and bottom 1-inch margins? Yes. RFP pg. 42, para. 3, Item "(f)"

Q0056 Page 39, E(2) of “FA3020-17-R-0002_(17_Mar_17).pdf” requires completion of the Manpower Matrix to be submitted in Part III – Technical Proposal, but it is referenced as “Attachment 5”. Will you please confirm that this relates to the Excel document provided as Attachment 7 rather than Attachment 5?

The RFP has been corrected, the Manpower Matrix is attachment 7. RFP pg. 39, para. E(2)(a)

Q0057

Paragraph (1) of Subfactor 1 - Management Approach states "The proposal must demonstrate the organizational structure that the offeror will employ while performing this effort.
