Please clarify the difference between the two CLINs relative to PWS A1.4.6.2 and A1.4.6.3. | These are both optional CLINs to add one TACP Sim operator each at the 9 ASOS. The Government retains the option to exercise one, both, or none of these options over course of the contract. |
| 22 | PWS 1.3.2 | a. Is any of the ICW/CBT developed to run on the World Wide Web (also known as Web-based Training (WBT))? |
Note the 2002 Edition of AFH36-2235 V5 reference “Internet-based Instruction (IBI)” which seems to be forerunner of the term WBT.
| Per PWS para 1.3.3. the DLA is a web-based training environment. | |||
| 23 | PWS 1.3.2 | b. Is it necessary to convert the ICW/CBT to HTML 5? | Some ICW/CBTs still use Flash player which is being phased out. Per PWS para 3.4. Courseware will be turned over in its existing condition and format, therefore any courseware still using Flash at the end of the current contract will require conversion. |
| 24 | PWS 1.3.2 | c. What level of interactivity does the Government want the ICW/CBT developed? Please provide a breakdown, the number of new equivalent ICW/CBT lessons by interactivity level required by Appendix 1, CWD Table to provide an accurate manpower assessment and price. |
| PWS will be revised to include at statement that all ICW/CBT shall be developed to Level 2 per ACCI 11-251, para 5.2.2. | |||
| 25 | PWS 1.3.2 | Several Appendix 1 Tables (e.g. A1.3.1) list “ICW/CBT Instructional Media Package” as a courseware development requirement, and PWS paragraph 4.4.27 defines the term. However, the PWS does not inform the bidders of how many Level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (Interactivity levels) are required to be developed, revised, or reviewed. | PWS will be revised to include at statement that all ICW/CBT shall be developed to Level 2 per ACCI 11-251, para 5.2.2. Appendix 1, para A1.3 states that the workload table quantities of new, revised, and reviewed courseware are based on an average one-hour lesson. |
| 26 | PWS 1.3.2 | d. Is the current ICW/CBT published in SCORM 2004? | Yes. |
| 27 | Schedule B, CLIN 0018 and PWS A1.4.4 | Please clarify: Schedule B, CLIN 0018 is Optional, however, PWS A1.4.4 does not say Optional. | PWS A1.4.4. is not optional and should be included in CLIN 0005, Staff Support. CLIN 0018 is optional and refers to PWS para A1.4.4.1. Optional PACAF Staff Support. Government will provide a spreadsheet with all base year CLINs and associated PWS references. |
| 28 | Schedule B, CLIN 0018 and PWS A1.4.4 | a. Is PWS A1.4.4 the correct reference for CLIN 0018? | No. CLIN 0018 is optional and refers to PWS para A1.4.4.1. Optional PACAF Staff Support. |

| 31 | Schedule B, CLIN 0006 | Is the work for CLIN 0006 associated with PWS A1.4.3? | Yes. Government will provide a spreadsheet with all base year CLINs and associated PWS references. |
| 32 | PWS Page 48 | The EA Training Classroom Workload table at the top of the page is unnumbered; should it be numbered? | This table is part of paragraph A1.2.1.3. and is not separately numbered. |
| 33 | PWS Page 48 | For clarity, should we include the instructor manning for this workload in the CRC CAT total CLIN 0002 or in CLIN 0007? | EA Training Classroom Workload should be in CLIN 0007. Government will provide a spreadsheet with all base year CLINs and associated PWS references. |
| 34 | PWS A1.4 and posted SCA WDs and CBA | PWS A1.4 defines the Staff Support hours as 1880; yet, the SCA WDs and CBA appear to dictate a different productive manhour. | The SCA and CBA refer to paid hours, not productive hours. Reference PWS para A1.4, the 1880 hour workload is productive hours these positions will be manned and already accounts for federal holidays, vacation, and sick time. The 21 Oct version of the PWS posted to FBO was modified to clarify this point. |
| 35 | PWS A1.4 and posted SCA WDs and CBA | a. Should we follow the PWS or the SCA WDs and CBA? | The PWS does not set wage rates. The offeror must follow the wage rates in the SCA or CBA as appropriate. |
| 36 | PWS A1.4 and posted SCA WDs and CBA | b. Is the Government’s intent that offerors provide coverage for 1,880 hours annually thereby resulting in more than 1 FTE per position, per location? | Per PWs dated 21 Oct posted to FBO, para A1.4 explains how the Government views the 1880 productive hours as one FTE. |
| 37 | Schedule B, CLIN 0018 and PWS A1.4.4.1 | Are we supposed to include pricing for A1.4.4.1 in CLIN 0018? | Yes. Government will provide a spreadsheet with all base year CLINs and associated PWS references. |
| 38 | PWS 1.3.5.4 | Referenced PWS paragraph indicates that Appendix 1 would list the number and duty location of the Registrar; however, Appendix 1 excludes any reference to the Registrar. Is a Registrar required and if so, where? | Appendix 1, para A1.4.1.1. will be updated to include a Registrar at Luke AFB for 1880 hours. |
| 39 | PWS 4.1.1; and answer to question #8 posted on 4 November 2019 | Which CLIN does the Government want us to price the Site Manager positions? | SM positions should be included in the CLIN appropriate for the work being managed. |
| 40 | PWS 4.1.2 | Please clarify what workload exists for employees at AFNORTH? Appendix 1 does not list an AFNORTH workload. | As briefed at the Pre-Proposal Conference and in the slides posted to FBO (slide 9 and 17), the current BCC CWD team is located at AFNORTH HQ, Tyndall AFB FL, to take advantage of Government BCC operational expertise available at that location. |
| 41 | PWS A1.2.2 and A1.2.2.1; A1.2.2.2 | The narrative informs the bidders that the Syllabus defines the actual instructor/student rations and “not necessarily the estimates show in these tales.” Yet, the Government provides the syllabus instructor/student ratio in paragraph A1.2.2.2. | The workload tables contain averaged instructor student ratios to facilitate the contractor's workload analysis. Syllabus-directed instructor student ratios will be followed in practice. |
| 42 | PWS A1.2.2 and A1.2.2.1; A1.2.2.2 | a. What is the Government intent for providing the bidders the actual instructor/student ratios if we are required to “use the workload data in the Table to calculate the number of I/SME and support personnel?” | The workload tables contain averaged instructor student ratios to facilitate the contractor's workload analysis. Syllabus-directed instructor student ratios will be followed in practice. |
| 43 | PWS 3.6.3.2 | Please clarify the locations of the expected EA jamming. The reference mentioned (PWS 1.3.4.3) appears to be incorrect. | PWS will be modified to change para 3.6.3.2 reference to PWS para 1.3.4.8. EA jamming is conducted at CONUS CRC squadrons and one in Puerto Rico per schedule coordinated with ACC/A3CG per PWS para 1.3.4.8. |
| 44 | PWS 1.3.4 | Is the travel cost associated with the jammer training reimbursable under CLIN 0004, or should the travel costs for the 16 training events be included in CLIN 0007? | All cost reimbursable travel shall be billed under CLIN 0004. This includes travel for EA training. Government will provide a spreadsheet with all base year CLINs and associated PWS references. |
| 45 | CBA | To allow non-incumbent offerors to accurately propose labor and benefit costs for the unionized workforce, would the Government please provide the number of employees and average seniority for each CBA job title identified in the C2_CBA_Revision_1.pdf? | No. The current number of employees on the contract is proprietary information to the incumbent. |
| 46 | CLIN 0005 and PWS A1.4 Staff Support | Please clarify which PWs work requirements are aligned with CLIN 0005? | CLIN 0005, Staff Support workloads are found in PWS para A1.4, Staff Support. Government will provide a spreadsheet with all base year CLINs and associated PWS references. |
| 47 | PWS 1.3.1.3.12 | For accurate labor category identification and pricing, is it the Government intent for CRC I/SME at the 607ACS to also perform Exercise Director and/or Sim Driver duties? | Per PWS para 1.6 the contractor shall provide a workload analysis that includes proposed manning levels, specialty mix, and work locations for all positions to accomplish student training. |
| 48 | PWS 1.3.2.4; 1.3.2.5.6; | For accurate ODC pricing, how much classified courseware materials are supported and at which locations? | The highest classification for courseware is Secret. Less than 10% of CRC courseware is classified. BCC has no classified courseware at this time, but classified lessons could be required in the future. |
| 49 | DD254 | a. Pages 2 and 4 of the DD254 show work to be accomplished at Langley and Tyndall AFBs, but we find no mention of those locations in the PWS. Please clarify why they are included. | The published DD 254 is a draft. Work locations will be finalized based on the awarded proposal. The current PWS does not include any work at Langley AFB. The current BCC CWD team is at Tyndall AFB to take advantage of Government BCC operational expertise in AFNORTH HQ. |
| 50 | DD254 | a. If there is no work associated with these locations, why were the SCA WDs for these locations provided? | The SCA WDs were provided for the current contract. |
| 51 | PWS pg 44, para A1.1.3.2 | Can AST and ST instructors teach the same courses? i.e. Can an ST instructor instruct AST courses? | Reference PWS A1.2.1.2. Any contractor that is certified to teach a lesson under one syllabi may teach the same lesson in any other syllabi regardless of crew position, however, Events listed as “SPECIALIZED” are required to be taught by a contractor that is certified in that crew position. |
| 52 | PWS pag 49, para A1.2.2.4 | What instructors or support personnel are to accomplish the Crew Events in the CRC CAT Training Device Syllabus Support Workload table? The only reference in the PWS is in regards to the Sim Drivers, but they already have workload estimates in the table. | Crew events include students from all syllabi performing all of the functions of a CRC. Instructors from all disciplines will be required to support these events. |
| 53 | PWS pg 44, Appendix 1 | Will the government provide a list of positions that do not have current incumbents fulfilling these requirements? How long will the successor have to fill new positions to this contract? | No, the Government will not provide a list of positions; filled or unfilled. The TACP positions are new to this effort and as such there are no incumbent contractor personnel at the locations specified in the PWS, however, there are Government personnel qualified to operate the systems at these locations that can assist with training your new hire contractors. The contractor is responsible for full performance on all exercised CLINs at the end of Phase In. |
| 54 | PWS pg 2, para 1.3.1.1 | PWS 1.3.1.1. states “In general, student accomplishment of learning objectives shall be evaluated by written tests and training device events (simulated (CRC or BCC) or live-fly (CRC-only)).” Is there a live-fly requirement of the instructors? If so, will they be required to pass an FAA physical and obtain/maintain an AF Form 8 evaluation? | There is no live-fly requirement under this contract. Contract instructors do not perform student evaluations. This statement refers to the methods the Government may use to evaluate student mastery of skills taught by contract instructors. PWS version dated 21 Oct and posted to FBO was revised to clarify. |
| 55 | PWS pg 2, para 1.3.1.1 | PWS 1.3.1.1. states “Air Traffic Control service and radio calls used shall be in accordance with the most current edition of the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Handbook 7110.65 and local directives.” Is there an Air Traffic Control requirement to this PWS? If so, Which FAA ATC qualification will they be required to obtain/maintain? | No. Instructors simulate ATC inputs to students and shall use proper terminology to do so.. |
| 56 | PWS pg 28, para 3.5.2. | PWS 3.5.2. Equipment Maintenance. “The Government will provide all maintenance of the training devices, audio, visual, and instructional equipment. The contractor shall notify the appropriate agency IAW LOP immediately of any equipment requiring maintenance.” PWS 3.3.2.6. “The Government shall retain custody and shall be responsible for the maintenance of Government furnished equipment. The contractor shall be responsible for the proper use of this equipment and shall report any problems to the Government SME.“ These contradict the TACP Sim Operator/Maintainer position. Could the Government please clarify what level of maintenance the government will provide on which devices and what level of maintenance the contractor is to provide on which devices. | PWS para 3.5.2. will be revised to state "Except for TACP training simulators, the Government will…". PWS para 3.3.2.6. will be revised to clarify this statement applies to CRC and BCC training equipment. |
| 59 | PWS pg 1, para 1.1.1. | Because the USG indicated in the last iteration of Q&A that ITAR approval is not a requirement for this contract, will the USG consider removing ITAR/export control compliance requirements outlined in PWS 1.1.1? Or if a formal ITAR exemption letter is required will the USG provide the necessary assistance to obtain the ITAR exemption? | ITAR approval is not required, since the only foreign students trained are Canadians at the Combined US/Canadian Air Defense Sectors (BCCs). PWS para 1.1.1 will be revised to explicitly state Canadian students at BCCs only. |
| 60 | PWS pg 8, para 1.3.3 | Does the current DLA for the C2 program utilize CAC control, or is this a new requirement for the program that is not currently being implemented? | No, the CAC requirement is new under this solicitation. |
| 61 | PWS pg 10, para 1.3.3.3. | What platform is currently being used to support the KMS? | The current DLA uses the commercial off-the-shelf MOODLE engine, is all hosted via web per PWS para 1.3.3, and hosted on contractor-furnished servers per PWS para 3.6.2. The current DLA, in its entirety, is a deliverable under the current contract per PWS Appendix 3. It remains a deliverable under the new contract. It will be made available to the incoming contractor during Phase In. |
| 62 | PWS pg 7, para 1.3.2.6. | It is our understanding that there are currently personnel located at Tyndall AFB, FL supporting CWD for this contract in addition to those at the CRC FTU; is it the government's intention to have the offeror maintain a geographically separated CWD team? | As briefed at the Pre-Proposal Conference and in the slides posted to FBO (slide 9 and 17), the current BCC CWD team is located at AFNORTH HQ, Tyndall AFB FL, to take advantage of Government BCC operational expertise available at that location. Per PWS para 1.6 the contractor shall provide a workload analysis that includes proposed manning levels, specialty mix, and work locations for all positions to accomplish student training. |
| 63 | PWS pg 29, para 3.6.3. | Will the incumbent's EA Jammer be transferable after the current contract expires or is the incumbent required to demilitarize the jammer prior to new contract start IAW 47 U.S.C § 302c and DFAR clause 252.245-7004? | The current jammer is GFE and will be retained by the Government at the conclusion of the current contract. It does not meet the requirements of this solicitation. |
| 64 | PWS pg 29, para 3.6.3. | Based on review of the applicable 47 U.S.C § 302c and DFAR clause 252.245-7004, the awarded contractor will only have 60 days to develop/obtain/deploy the PWS defined jammer that meets the specifications that the Government will provide post-award; is this correct? | Specifications for the jammer are in the current PWS that was published for reference. The contractor is responsible to provide their jammer at the end of Phase In. |
| 65 | PWS pg 29, para 3.6.3. | Based on the history of the previous contract, the existing Militarized EA Jammer utilized to deliver the EA Jamming requirements was Government Furnished and Owned Equipment that was subsequently either sold to or transferred to the current incumbent contractor; is there any requirement or mandate associated for the incumbent to sell or transfer the militarized equipment to the awarded contractor? | The current jammer was not sold to the incumbent. It is Government property and will be returned at the end of the current contract and retained by the Government. It does not meet the requirements of this solicitation. |
