Questions & Answers (continued)

Secondary Crash Network at RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall

Solicitation No. FA558720Q1076 and FA5587Q201078

Q6: The requirements for the Initiator consoles in Base Ops at both Mildenhall and Lakenheath require 2 PTT Initiator handsets and 10 PTT headsets. Headsets will require a handset as they cannot be proposed as a standalone item. To accommodate this requirement, the Base Ops design would need to be increased to 12 PTT Initiator handsets. Does the Government prefer the system be designed/deployed for 12 Initiator phones in Base Ops or remain at 2 with the additional PTT headset requirement dropped?

A6: The quantities (outlined in the PWS) should stay the same unless the offeror’s equipment does not allow for it; if their equipment does not then consider proposing for 10 handsets (with equal 10 headsets). The increased amount of headsets is so individuals can have their own and not have to share.

Q7: Should the offeror include costs to quarantine due to the COVID Pandemic for any personnel traveling from the countries on the UK’s current restricted list to support the contract?

A7: The offeror should be including all cost associated with COVID-19 as part of their quote.

Q8: From the Air Force perspective, what is the policy for quarantining?

A8: The Air Force is following the United Kingdom's guidance regarding COVID-19, therefore offerors should follow United States/United Kingdom directives.

Q9: Will the Government provide accommodations to quarantine or is that the responsibility of the contractor?

A9: No, the Government will not provide accommodations to quarantine. The offeror should price for a two week quarantine in their respective quotes, and those accommodations should be considered off base (the installation).
