Final RFP Questions from Prospective Offerors and Government Responses

Request for Proposal (RFP) FA4890-14-R-0012 for Aerial Targets was issued on 12 Nov 14. A Pre-Proposal Conference/Site Visit was held at Tyndall AFB on 20 Nov 14. Below are RFP questions from prospective offerors and the government responses.

Note: Amendment 0001 is forthcoming to incorporate changes as indicated below in the responses to questions.

1. L-9.1 states “Offerors shall not input pricing in Section B”. However, L-9.6 states, “The offeror’s response to the solicitation Sections A, B, and K shall be provided as separate sections separately tabbed in the Price Volume.” Does the Government want Section B completed (and separately tabbed), or is the completed “Pricing Table” sufficient?

Government Response: Yes, a completed Pricing Table for Section B (separately tabbed Section B in the Pricing Volume) is sufficient and, as noted in paragraph L-9, each offeror shall provide its price data in an Excel spreadsheet. What the government does not want is a handwritten pricing proposal copied from the RFP’s Section B and then inserted in the Price Volume as the offeror’s pricing proposal.

2. Sec L-9.1 states: "Offerors shall not input pricing in Section B". Section L-9.6 states:

"The Offeror's response to the solicitation Sections A, B, K shall be provided as separate sections...". Please clarify if Section B is to be completed.

Government Response: See response to #1 above.

3. We spoke with Roger McAughan last week and understand he has departed. Should the proposal still be addressed to him?

Government Response: Roger McAughan’s name does not need to be listed on the proposal mailing label. In accordance with paragraph L-3.1, the original proposal and copies (specified in paragraph L-5.4.5) shall be sent to the issuing office listed in Block 7 of the Standard Form 33 on /before the date/time specified in Block 9 of the Standard Form 33. Mark the front of the envelope/box with the following: “Proposal No. FA4890- 14-R-0012, ATTN: ACC AMIC/PKCA, DO NOT OPEN IN MAIL ROOM.” Here is a sample address label:

ACC AMIC/PKC

Proposal No. FA4890-14-R-0012 Attn: ACCAMIC/PKCA

DO NOT OPEN IN MAIL ROOM

4. Section B and Section L-9.1 Pricing Table. The “Pricing Instr” column for CLINS X005 and X007 states that “rate will be provided on a … per sortie, per month (X005 and X007) basis.” However, the pricing description and quantity data in Section B doesn’t specify this “month” information. As a result it is unclear how to calculate the extended pricing or “NET AMT” for these CLINS. Is it correct to assume that the NET AMT for CLIN X007 should be calculated by multiplying the FFR per sortie X 20 sorties X 12 months?

Similarly, for X005 the should the NET AMT equal the sum of the four sortie breakouts again multiplying the FFR per sortie X # of sorties X 12 months?

Government Response: No, that is an incorrect assumption. Section L-9.1 Pricing Table, Pricing Instruction Column, should NOT have included "per month" statement for CLINs X005 and X007. Extended pricing for CLINs X005 and X007 should be calculated using only FFR per sortie multiplied by # of sorties listed in the CLIN descriptions in Section B. CLIN X005 will be calculated using the sum of the four breakouts identified in the CLIN descriptions after multiplying the FFR per sortie multiplied by # of sorties. Note:

The number of sorties listed in Section B for CLINs X005 and X007 are the additional # of sorties which may be flown above baseline annually. The calculation of extended pricing for CLINs X004 and X006 (inventory increases above baseline) uses FFR multiplied by the total number of aircraft listed in the CLIN descriptions in Section B multiplied by 12 months for a full year (or multiplied by 6 months for the extension period listed in CLINs 7004 and 7006).

5. Please clarify CLINs 7006 and 7007 on the Schedule B. Even though they are for a 6 month period, they appear to have the same SSAT Fleet and Sortie Increases as the CLINs for a full year. Please confirm you want that amount of increase priced for the 6 month extension.

Government Response: For CLIN 7006, yes, pricing for SSAT Fleet Increases should use the amount listed in the CLIN description in Section B. For CLIN 7007, no, pricing for SSAT Sorties Increases should use 10 sorties multiplied by FFR.
