T-38 RFP Q&A as of 17 Jan 2011

T-38 RFP Q&A:

1. Ques: Reference Appendix G (CDRLs): CDRL A002, Contingency Strike Plan, and CDRL A003, Labor Relations Plan, indicate they are to be submitted with the proposal. Section L provides no instructions for doing this. Should these deliverables/plans be submitted with the proposal? If so, are they included in page count and should we follow the CDRL format instructions and technical instructions for number of copies, etc?

Government answer:

The two deliverables (Strike Plan and Labor Relations Plan) should be submitted with the proposal as directed by CDRLs A002 and A003 following CDRL format instructions. Include these in the Mission Capability Volume as addendums. These addendum pages will NOT count against the page total for that volume (75). Number of copies should follow directions for Mission Capability Volume (Orig + 5).

The two deliverables will NOT be comparatively evaluated with other proposals. The only evaluation will be "submitted as required by CDRL - Yes/No".

2. Ques: Reference PWS Section D, 3.1, Performance of Service during Crisis Declared by the National Command Authority. We could not find a reference for this in Section H. Should this be Section I, 5352.223-9002, Requirements Affecting Contractor Personnel Performing Mission Essential Services?

Government answer:

Reference should be Section I not H.

3. Ques: Reference Attachment 3, Section L, Sample Past Performance Questionnaire Cover Letter. Para. 3 of the Sample Past Performance Questionnaire Cover Letter includes this statement addressed to the recipient of the questionnaire, "Request your written response no later than XX [15 calendar days after release of solicitation]." which would be 19 Jan 11.

Date of 19 Jan 11 should be included in the cover letter.
