Q&A# 2. MASS II, FA4600-11-R-0009

Question# 1

REFERENCE: RFP, Section H, Paragraph 43, Reopener Clause

Question. We assume that the Reopener Clause will only apply in subsequent task orders that would be negotiated based on unapproved forward pricing rates. Is this assumption correct?

Answer. The reopener clause in Section will be used during the Source Selection stage and all subsequent task/delivery orders.

Question# 2

REFERENCE: RFP, Section J, Attachment# 14, MASS II Price Model

Question. It appears cell B142 is missing the formula contained in cells B143 – B153 and B158 – B160 on the CLIN X001 tab appear to be incorrect. Should the cells use the rates from Option 4, Year 5 with no escalation?

Answer. Yes, the formulas in cells B142-B153 and B158-B160 on CLIN X001 tab of attachment# 14 shall use the rates from Option 4, Year 5 with no escalation. An amendment will be forthcoming correcting the spreadsheet error.

Question# 3

REFERENCE: RFP, Section J, Attachment# 14, MASS II Price Model and Attachment# 18, Work Breakdown Structure

Question. The tabs “CLIN 0001 Base Yr Breakdown” and “CLIN 0006 Base Yr Breakdown” in the Price Model include columns for the effort allocated to Information Assurance, however the Government provided WBS does not include an element for Information Assurance. Does the Government have a preference on where the Information Assurance activities should be estimated in the WBS structure?

Answer. Attachment# 18, Work Breakdown Structure, has been modified to include Information Assurance. An amendment is forthcoming revising attachment# 18.
