Industry Day Questions to Industry

3. If the Government awards a multiple award IDIQ and limits award to one task order per offeror, how would that affect industry?

4. If the Government awards a single “C” type contract for all AORs, how would that affect future competition in the industry? What if the Government awards multiple C type contracts vs a multiple award IDIQ?

5. If the Government awards one task order or C type contract for each MAJCOM where would you locate your PMO office?

8. In the event this acquisition remains as unrestricted, there will be a requirement for large business offerors to provide a small business subcontracting plan.

11. Do you have experience working in the countries the contract specifies?

12. What type(s) of incentive contract for GPMS would better suit the government? Cost or performance incentives?

13. Would there be a way to measure saving money without jeopardizing the readiness of the equipment to enable measurable cost incentives for GPMS? Are there any requirements of the PWS that could be incentivized and/or achieved?

14. Are there any limiting factors / constraints within the PWS requirements that drive cost increases or inefficiencies? Could any areas be written more performance-based or, is no Award/Incentive Fee appropriate?

15. Do you think an Award Fee or Incentive Fee should be applied to this effort? Or, is no fee appropriate? Would there be enough performance measurements that performance incentives would be beneficial? For example, WRM maintenance up time/availability or Exercise responses?

16. Are there any requirements in the PWS that need to be more clearly defined? For example, there may be areas in the PWS that require the contractor to perform work “IAW Industry Standards.” For those areas, do you have a recommended standard or approach that should be included in the PWS to add clarity to the requirement to ensure mutual understanding of performance expectation(s)?
