FA4890-12-R-0012 Questions and Answers as of 10 October 2012

Q1. “Can we use roman numerals for the pages that do not count towards the total count page for each of the three volumes (i.e. acronyms, cross reference matrix)? This will allow you an easier identification of the required 100 pages for Tech Volume II”

A1. We request that you adhere to the proposal format instructions as stated in the solicitation (i.e.

sequential numbering). Only the Draft RFP has been issued at this time, so we suggest you continue to monitor FedBizOpps for the Final RFP (and Solicitation Amendments as needed) to ensure no instructions or requirements have changed.

Q2. “PPQ Cover Letter (attach. 2 on page 48)- under 3. and 4. You say that PPQ needs to be returned no later than 26 Sep 2012; should it be no later than 26 Nov 2012, that is currently the projected proposal due date?”

A2. The Draft RFP’s PPQ response date of 26 Sep 2012 is not the actual cutoff date that will be utilized.

We anticipate issuing the Final RFP in the near future, and the PPQ response date will be updated to reflect an updated cutoff date.

Q3. “I have noticed the following statement on Sect 7 on page 49: “This is a best value procurement”

(mid page). Are you going to delete this sentence in the Final RFP, since this is an LPTA source selection, as stated at the beginning of the page 50?”

A3. The statement is valid, and we anticipate it remaining in the Final RFP. All source selections are set out to be best value procurements, which can be achieved through use of one or a combination of source selection approaches. For this solicitation, the Government will obtain its’ best value through utilization of the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection methodology. “Best value” should not be confused with utilization of a Tradeoff process.

Q4. “Is this project considered a new requirement?”

A4. This is not a new requirement.

Q5. “If this project is not considered a new requirement;

a. Who is the incumbent?

b. What is the contract number?

c. What was an estimated value?”

A5. a. Crew Training International, Inc.

b. FA4890-07-C-0015

c. $7.45M

A6. We request that all parties interested in attending the pre-proposal conference submit a completed

EAL to the contracting office. Please ensure you fill in all required data and that the EAL is received by the contracting office by the required deadline, as stated in the solicitation.
