About this file
This is an RFI Log documenting questions and government responses for the SABER IDIQ solicitation (FA486125R0003). The log tracks inquiries submitted by prospective offerors regarding solicitation requirements, proposal formatting, evaluation criteria, and contract terms, with corresponding clarifications issued by the government through amendments. Key clarifications addressed include: the basis for estimated quantities in the price schedule (derived from previous SABER contracts); confirmation that both hard copies and electronic proposals are required by the due date; the allowable six-year lookback period for past contract experience per Section L-4.2.2; the requirement to submit all Contract Information Sheets corresponding to contracts listed in the Self-Scoring Matrix without a hard limit (restriction was removed); guidance on CPARS evaluations for contracts under $750K (now acceptable per Amendment 13); the treatment of CPARS ratings at task order versus annual contract levels (averaging is prohibited); confirmation that "Escort" costs represent a full-time position separate from other field staff; and design requirement changes to Level 1 specifications. The RFI responses document multiple proposal deadline extensions, with the most recent due date extended to 26 February 2026 via Amendment 12, followed by a further extension to 10 March 2026. The log reflects the iterative nature of the solicitation process with 13 amendments issued and multiple RFI response dates between November 2025 and January 2026.

| 4 | 9-Jan-26 | no | This paragraph references "Section B" for estimated dollar amount; where is this Section B info located in the RFP? | M-2.3 Factor Price | Estimated dollar amount is specified in the Price Schedule/Attachment 2 which is referenced in Section B. This will be updated in Section M. |

If it was rated per Task Order it will need to entered in Tab 4. |
| 9 | 22-Jan-26 | no | Can the Govt please confirm exactly how many Contract Information Sheets (Attachment 45) Offerors are to submit? There appears to be conflicting guidance between the RFP (page 48 states "Provide no more than six contracts or task orders total") and Attachment 45 Instructions (Complete this form for every completed Contract Reference (Base Contract or Task Order) mentioned in the Self Scoring Matrix.).This question has been asked by multiple offerors previously, with the same answer "Attachment 3 Self Scoring Matrix and Section L-4.2.2 have been amended to match.", however this does not appear correct.

| 10 | 16-Jan-26 | no | RFI Response Log Question #53 re: CPARS under $750K answer stated that 'the Government will consider CPARS for projects less than $750K. This is amended in Section L and Attachment 3 Self Score Matrix' While it was deleted from Section L, it is still in Attachment 3. Can the Government please clarify? | Attachment 76, RFI Response Log - General | Discrepancy removed in Self Scoring Matrix dated 3 Feb 2026.

| 11 | 16-Jan-26 | no | In completing the Self Scoring Matrix on Tab 1 for SABER and equivalent level Contracts, we have a SABER contract that did not provide Annual Contract level CPARS, however they have provided CPARS at the Task Order level. We have reached out to the Contracting Officer of those Contracts to complete a PPQ without success. Is it acceptable to average the ratings for all Task Orders' CPARS that occurred during the defined performance year? | Attachment 76, RFI Response Log - General | No; Per M-2.1 Factor 1: Contractors are not permitted to request PPQs for work samples where CPARS evaluations already exist. If a contract is already rated annually in CPARS, a PPQ cannot be completed per task order. Likewise, if a contract is already rated per task order in CPARS, a PPQ cannot be completed for an annual evaluation rating. |
PPQs will only be counted in the scoring when no CPARS evaluations have been completed for the specific work sample. Attempts to receive multiple scores for the same project will be rejected and the score adjusted accordingly.

| 14 | 16-Jan-26 | no | with the design requirement now changing to design level 1 the current designs being prepared for subcontractor pricing and submission have to be reworked to meet level 1 requirements. because of this an extension is requested. | SOW | Amendment issued on 20 Jan 2026 extended proposal due date to 26 Feb 2026 |
| 15 | 16-Jan-26 | no | amendment 6 set 8 Dec as the RFI response date and 23 Jan as the proposal due date giving 47 days to complete after RFIs. amendment 9 set 8 Jan as the RFI response date and 5 Feb as the new proposal due date. the RFIs were posted 13 Jan and had many scope changes and proposal requirement updates. with the addition of the RFIs sent in to clarify the changes can the proposal due date be extended 29 days from the date the additional RFIs are responded to so the offerors can provide a quality competitive proposal. | Amendment 10 | Amendment12 issued on 20 Jan 2026 extended proposal due date to 26 Feb 2026 |
