REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL QUESTIONS/ANSWERS

SOLICITATION NO. FA5641-15-R-0009

FOR

UNITED STATES AIR FORCES IN EUROPE LIVE FIRE TRAINERS II

(USAFE LFT II)

Date: 28 Jul 2015

Note: Since multiple offerors asked quantity related questions, the Government combined the questions into Question #1 and Question #2.

Question #1: First period states 6 month base period. In CLINS 0001 through 0010, is this price quote only actually for 1 inspection and maintenance visit (winterization included for those bases where required) and not for semi-annual (2 visits)?

Answers: Correct. For CLINS 0001 - 0010 and 5001 – 5010, only one of the semi-annual inspection/ maintenance visits (winterization included for those bases where required) are required.

Question #2: CLINS 1001-1010, 2001- 2010, 3001- 3010, and 4001- 4010 have a 12 month Period of Performance, so it would seem necessary for 2 semi-annual visits. Should the Quantities for these not be 2?

Answers: Correct. For CLINs 1001 - 1010, 2001 - 2010, 3001 - 3010, and 4001 – 4010, both of the semi-annual inspection/maintenance visits (winterization included for those bases where required) are required. The Government will post Amendment 0002 on FedBizOpps (FBO) to change the quantity accordingly.

Question #3: Why are Certified Small business or certified women owned small business not considered under this solicitation?

Answers: In accordance with FAR 19.000(b) the Small Business Programs, except for Subpart 19.6, applies only in the United States or its outlying areas. The performance under this requirement will be 100% overseas. Therefore, no small business set asides will be considered.

Question #4: Is this a follow-on requirement? If so, could you please provide the incumbent contract number for this opportunity?

Answers: Yes, this is a reacquisition of the current Live Fire Trainer contract, FA5613-11-P- 0016.

Question #5: Provide a List of Items, Schedule of Requirements, Scope of Work, Terms of Reference, Bill of Materials required.
