COM-F III FRFP

Questions:

1. Confirm the Client Authorization Letter is only needed for businesses that provide supplies/services to other businesses (not to the DoD or U.S. Government).

Questions:

1. Can we alter the formulas provided in Attachment 16 to account for rounding and required in RFP 3.3.4?

2. Should Attachment 16, Column N, Unit of Issue be the total number of months proposed in that option period (e.g. column N has Unit of Issue = 1 but should be 12 if a full year)?

3. Do we need to subtotal cost by Subtask or only at the CLIN level?

4. Attachment 16, Column K – please confirm you want hours per month, not hours per year in column K.

5. Attachment 16, Colum M – please confirm that this total labor cost is the monthly cost of labor.

6. Attachment 16, Column M – RPF 3.3.4 says to round all unit and extended prices to the nearest dollar. Is this to be done at the subtask level or only at the Clin Level? IF we add rows for each labor category can the total labor amount be rounded to the nearest dollar at the Subclin level or must it also be done at the labor category level? 1. Yes

2. Changed to 12

3. Subtask

4. Hours per month

5. Monthly

6. Please note: Attachment 9 and 2.3.1.4 and 3.3.4 have been changed to read "All unit and Attachment 9 prices provided shall be rounded to the nearest penny, which shall be divisible by the number of units proposed (i.e. 12 months), no fractional cents.", this shall be divisible by the number of units proposed at the CLIN level

RFP COM-F III 14 3.3.5 Reference: States, “These hourly requirements are to include (but separately identify) subcontractors.”

Questions:

1. Can the subcontractors be identified in the written portion of the price volume only or must they also be identified in the excel worksheet (Attachment 16)?

2. Attachment 16 Rows 18, 19, and 23 say “Phase-In” on all sheets. Should this be changed to the appropriate Option Period? 1. Please identify in in Task and subtasks in Attachment 16 so the SSEB team can clearly identify your labor mix. Contractors are also welcome to speak to it in written portion.

2. Changed to appropriate Option Period on each tab

Upon review of the Q&A released on 22 Mar 2019 question # 34 addresses the attachments required for Volume IV.

If the Government does not desire duplicate attachments, can you please specify if we should follow ITO and submit the attachments listed as part of Volume IV? Or, will the Government revise ITO with different requirements for Volume IV? As long as Attch 10, 16, and 17 are submitted with the is submitted Task Orders documents and Attch 9 is submitted with the IDIQ documents. So you can either submit as indicated in table 1.2a and 1.2b or submit them in Volume IV. Either way will be fine.

PPIS 4

RFP 20 RFP 3.2.1

PPIS J.

RFP 2.2.1.1 Reference:

The RFP (paragraph 3.2.1, pg 12) states, "Each offeror shall submit a past performance volume with its proposal, containing past performance information in accordance with the format contained in the Past Performance Information Sheet (PPIS) (Attachment 10). Your submissions will be evaluated against the Technical subfactors defined in the Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items"

The PPIS (paragraph J, pg 4) states, "For each of the applicable sub-factors under the Technical factor in Addendum to 52.212-2 Evaluation of Commercial Items, illustrate how your experience on this program applies to that sub-factor."

It is not clear if the the Government wants contractor's PPIS response to address RFP paragraph 2.2.1.1 Subfactor 1: Initial GDSS Technical Approach AND RFP paragraph 2.2.1.2 Subfactor 2: Initial GDSS Task Order Staffing Approach.

Question:

Confirm that the Government ONLY wants RFP paragraph 2.2.1.1 Subfactor 1: Initial GDSS Technical Approach and sub paragraphs 2.2.1.1.1 System Administration, 2.2.1.1.2 Network Administration,2.2.1.1.3 Database Administration, 2.2.1.1.4 Configuration Management 2.2.1.1.5 Help Desk addressed in contractor PPIS response relative to paragraph J. As stated in the RFP section 3.2.1: The Government shall consider the entire COM-F III IDIQ size and magnitude when considering demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance, as well as the quality of that performance. Therefore, the offeror shall consider the entire COM-F III IDIQ size and magnitude when submitting past performance products and services that meet the contract requirements.
