Final RFP

Ques #ReferenceQuestionGovernment Response
1Question from PPC
RFP Sec MWith the decision to do an LPTA acquisition, are you still going to go through a down-select process? If so, please explain how you will do that and how that process will differ from the final selection process?Yes, please refer to RFP Section M, paragraph M-1.4.
2Question from PPC
PWSTo be clear, all expansion and facility build outs will require contractor to install cabling and conduit infrastructure along with network switching equipment?Yes, the contractor will be responsible for all cabling, conduit, and network program for the mission systems. SIPR and NIPR will be based upon the privileges grant by each base.
3Question from PPC
RFP para M-3.2, Factor 2, Past PerformanceOne of the highly relevant contracts we wish to cite as past performance ended in Apr 13, and was followed by 3 bridge contracts of 12 months, 7 months, and 2 months respectively (with separate contract numbers) until the re-award of a new contract in Jan 15. The work was performed for the same customer and has been essentially the same throughout all of the performance periods. Question: For purposes of relevance in the evaluation, can we cite the 21-month period of the 3 bridge contracts as part of a single overall past performance effort, even though they had different contract numbers? Or should these otherwise identical contracts be cited as separate contracts?You may cite the 21-month period of the three bridge contracts as part of a single overall past performance effort for both recency and relevancy.
4Question from PPC
RFP para L-7.4.1.2.2.cThis paragraph requires offerors to "Provide an analytic design for providing network administration and maintenance that meets requirements stated in the PWS…" Question: Please explain what the Government means by "analytic design", as no relevant verbiage is apparent anywhere in the PWS."Provide an analytic designed for..." will be changed with the upcoming Amendment 0001 to read, "Describe your approach for…"
5Question from PPC
Can the Government confirm whether the units (other than the 39th Squadron), have Help Desk personnel assigned locally, or whether they are all supported from a central Helpdesk (Sys Ad support) and Network Operations Center (Comm & Network Support)?The help desk is for tier 1. To meet PWS requirements of 24/7 operations, your tier 2 workers will be local.
6Question from PPCIf the Gov decides to have Industry provide OCONUS travel estimates/costs, will the Gov provide the number of trips (estimate) per year and locations?No, each offeror will propose their own OCONUS Travel CLIN (X036) cost estimates based on their technical approach and associated costs (relocation cost for employees/family members, etc., if applicable). This CLIN is not for Government Directed Travel which is CR CLIN X0008.
7Question from PPC
Appendix LFor Appendix L -- Where should this "tasle" be inserted in the technical response? Is it suggested to be part of the transition subfactor?The 15 page transition should be part of the Transition subfactor.
8Question from PPC
Appendix LOn Appendix L -- The Gov requires the certifications, qualifications, education… to be provided. Appendix K already provides the min requirements for key positions/ ___ categories. If Industry takes no exceptions, is it ok to state so (saves space)?The government requires Industries' approach to fulfilling Appendix K requirements.
9Question from PPC
PWSPWS states that a potential exists for future Ops Center closure and realignment. However, the CLIN pricing sheet does not include a CLIN designated for SOC stand-down. Will the Gov clarify if the cost designated for SOC stand-down will be provided or if these costs should be included in CLIN X030 Relocate Existing Ops center.The cost for standing down a SOC due to a relocation of that SOC should be included in CLIN X030, Relocate Existing SOC. If the need arises to stand-down a SOC that will not be relocated, the cost for that stand-down will be negotiated at that time.
10Question from PPC
CLINWhen does the Gov plan to release CLIN updates including CLINs 36, 37, & 38?We currently have the action to change CR CLIN X037 (DBA Insurance) to a FFP CLIN and to remove the pre-established government estimated costs for CR CLIN X036 (OCONUS Travel) & CR CLIN X038 (Overseas Allowances) and have each offeror propose its own costs, in review for approval. We will post the notice, if approved, as soon as we can. Depending on when approval is given, we may have to extend the proposal due date.
11Question from PPC
PWS 2.1.5.1, Operations Tempo IncreasesThe PWS states: "The CO may add/subtract equipment or software that requires contractor support to units listed in this PWS or increase the level of contractor support required at any time."

Question: Could the Gov please clarify how these additions/subtractions will be handled within the scope of this solicitation? Will they be treated as contract modifications?

Rationale: Section B includes only FFP CLINs for O&M. It does not allow for additions/subtractions over the life of the contract.The intend of this PWS section is to replace software/equipment as it becomes obsolete or if minor increases/decreases to the same occur. If the change is a major one requiring much more than the usual O&M, then a modification may be processed.
12Question from PPC
PWS 4.2.13.1As part of the Q&A released by the Gov’t dated 27 Jan 15, the Government provided that there is no ITAR requirement for the UASOCS Program and that the PWS would be updated to remove such a requirement.

Appendix B: CDRL A008 Section L-7.4.1.2.1.d, Maintenance Support Plan CDRL A008, Maintenance Support Plan, states that the CDRL is not due until 90 days after contract award. In Section L-7.4.1.2.1, Aspect I – Maintenance Management, item d. states: “Provide a maintenance control plan that demonstrates effective scheduling of tasks and system of controls to provide quality/timely services or products that safely fulfill mission requirements.”

Question: We request that only a high-level summary of our Maintenance Control Plan be provided for Aspect I – Maintenance Management. Is submitting only a high-level summary of our Maintenance Control Plan with our proposal acceptable to the Government?

Rationale: A complete Maintenance Control Plan would require a large portion of the 60 pages allowed for the technical response.

Also of note, the 732OG requires dedicated support, as outlined in the PWS.

54Question from PPC
Sample cover letter for Past Performance questionnaireWe were reviewing the Sample Cover Letter to be sent with Past Performance Questionnaires and noticed the due date noted there for the questionnaire was March 9th. Was that a sample date?

Reading through Section L - I don't see a specific due date noted for the Questionnaire other than 05 May for the Past Performance volume.

Could you provide clarification?The Government mistakenly left an old date on the sample letter when we should have adjusted it due to a schedule slip. This date will be revised with the upcoming Amendment 0001 to reflect a no later than date for of 5 May 2015 for the Past Performance Questionnaires. (Note: depending on when we receive approval for Amendment 0001, this date may be adjusted further.)
