GPMS Draft L&M Industry Questions / Government Responses
| Draft RFP (L&M) Reference |
| Industry Question |
| Government Response |
| 1 |
| No Reference |
| GPMS award limits. During the Industry Day session last Oct 2019, the government indicated that it is considering limiting industry to performing as prime in only one of the Theaters. Can the government please provide an update on this acquisition element prior to the site visit update? This will have a tremendous impact on the teaming and prime bidding approach for each company. |
The Government decided not to limit an offeror from being awarded both theaters; although, each offeror’s proposal must stand on its own in order to be awarded either contract.
| 2 |
| No Reference |
| During the Oct 2019 Industry Day session for GPMS, it was undetermined if the AFCENT theater will be part of this acquisition? Based on the updated section L&M material released in March 2020, it appears AFCENT will occur at a later time. Can the government please provide an update on what the acquisition schedule is for AFCENT which currently has a POP end date of 30 Sep 2024? |
AFCENT will not be part of this requirement or added before this contract action expires.
| 3 |
| No Reference |
| Could the Government's clarify its intent for the AFCENT region? Specifically, will this region be bid separately later prior to the contract expiring or is there an intent to incorporate AFCENT into GPMS at a later time? |
| See response to 2. |

| L-2.2 |
| Will the Government consider delaying the RFP until a time when site visits can be held? |
| At this time, the Government is not considering delaying the RFP. After the Government releases the entire Draft RFP, we will consider Industry feedback to determine necessity of Site Visits. |
| 5 |
| L-2.2.1 |
| Would the government please consider raising the attendee limit from one individual to two individuals? This would allow offerors to send the necessary personnel and obtain the most from the visit. It will also allow offerors to formulate better questions in preparation for the Preproposal Conference currently planned for July 2020. |
| At this time, all site visits are cancelled. We will consider Industry feedback to determine necessity of Site Visits. |
| 6 |
| L-2.2.1 |
| Can the attendees for each theater (USAFE and PACAF) visit be different individuals? |
There is no restriction on who attends. However, see response to 5.

| How much time delay will there be between the two theaters or will they be scheduled as one continuous event? |
Separate trips, and see response to 5.

| L-2.2.1 |
| Since the government included Holloman AFB, New Mexico, USA as a GPMS site in the original draft solicitation announcement, is the government still considering including Holloman AFB as a GPMS site in the final solicitation? |
