VENDOR QUESTION AND ANSWER

Physical Therapist Vendor Questions

Question: With Aviano Air Base being owned by Italy and a NATO base what are the agreements in place with regard to

1. Taxes? What is the % paid to Italy by an ex pat doing this work in Italy but still a citizen of the US?

Answer: Being a contract employee for the United States, members are required to pay only United States taxes. Local overseas taxes do not apply.

1. Work Visa- What is the process and the turnaround time? Are there any agreements established to expedite the process?

Answer: Any VISA and/or passport questions must be referred to local servicing Embassies

Question: The relocation cost is noted to be a one-time CLIN. Is it to be assumed that once the contract is complete the cost burden to return home falls on the contractor or should that CLIN include a return cost as well? We are assuming that each person will stay for the 5 year term of the contract, which is certainly ideal but not the best plan. If a situation arises where an employee goes home to the US what understanding or agreement is in place to retool with another resource (from the Govt perspective)? These positions are not easy to fill.

Answer: There is a one-time relocation and one-time return CLIN built in the contract. This is the funding to bring an individual to Italy and then their return home after the contract is completed. If a contractor needs to be replaced during the 5-years of the contract, that cost will be on the contractor, not the Government.

Question: I have been thru 2 Govt Shutdown in my 7 years and had the burden of carrying months of payroll to keep highly skilled resources engaged and paid to continue to do this work. I lost over 25k in money to honor my payroll commitments to my people and was never made whole by the Govt. When the next shutdown occurs what happens to an overseas contract such as this? The State Dep website notes a 3 month advance in salary allowance. Has this scenario been considered?

Answer: Since this is a contract, not a General Schedule employee, these positions are not included in a government shut-down. Once the contract is awarded per annual year, the government has made a financial commitment to pay for that contract even during CRA and Government Shutdowns.

Question: Are the Overseas travel allowances included in the CLIN? To be honest I don't understand them yet?

Answer: See FAR 31 for allowable travel costs for contractors. There is a CLIN built in to the solicitation pre-priced at $5,000.00 for miscellaneous TDY travel related expenses.

Question: Is there a housing liaison to be in contact with? My research has shown limited on base options for service members let alone anyone else.

Answer: Since there is no base housing on Aviano for service members or contractors, everyone lives on the local economy. Contractors will be able to work with the Aviano Base Housing Office to help them secure a place of residence.

Question: While on deployment what is the Hazard pay differential?

Answer: Since this is for a contractor, not a military service member, they will not receive hazard pay.

Question: When is the expected start date or phase in period?

Answer: Completely dependent upon the length of the VISA process, we would like these positions to have a start date of 1 December 2018.

Question: There are three positions with three separate contracts?

Answer:Yes, each position will be on its’ own contract for a total of three contracts.

Question: The defense act supports Insurance for Contracts like this. Does the Government understand that all applicable taxes and regulations in the States reside overseas as well? A full insurance package will include Workers comp, Health insurance, Liability, Travel and risk, Terrorism, and Hazard Insurance during deployment. Is the Govt aware of this?

Answer: The Government is aware of insurance and taxation matters; however, these matters will be the responsibility of the contractor.

Question: How is health Care executed? Where are the services and are they on base or elsewhere?

Answer: Only emergency medical and dental services will be available on base through a space available system. All other medical needs will need to be provided by the contractor and the local economy.

Question: Communications. Should an international calling plan for coms between the members/command and the resources be included in the cost CLIN?

Answer: No. This expense will need to be provided by the contractor.

Question: You have a response date of 17Aug. Given the questions and the relationship between these questions and an accurate bid submission...will you consider an extension period?

Answer: Due to number and nature of questions asked, the Government is extending the due date of offers to 27 August at 16:00 Local Italian Time.

Question: When do you intend to award and start?

Answer: Award: 1 Oct. Anticipated Start: 1 Dec.

Question: What is the Data tool/system of record currently in place and who supports the training?

Answer: All training will be assisted by our unit Flight Doctor.

Question: In section 4.2.5 of each these solicitations, the following statement is listed:

"All information, reports, and products are the property of the government."

This section is in direct conflict with - Intellectual Property Law, DFARS 252.227-7013 Rights in Technical Data--Noncommercial Items, and 252.227-7014 Rights in Noncommercial Computer Software and Noncommercial Computer Software Documentation.

Answer: Per the language found in both clauses, the Government has unlimited rights to items in DFARS clauses 252.227-7013(b)(1) and 252.227-7014(b)(1). All documentation prepared by the contractor for the Government will be prepared on software owned by the Government.

Question: How many operators are in the unit?

Answer: There are currently 40 operators at the unit.

Question: How does one go about obtaining the DUNS & Cage Code "for Italy"? Are not these numbers the same DUNS & Cage Code numbers we use here in the States?

Answer: U.S. based companies do not require DUNS or CAGE codes for Italy. If you have an existing DUNS and CAGE number with SAM registration that was issued in the United States then you are eligible for award. If you currently do not posess any of this, you must obtain a DUNS, CAGE, and SAM registration from the United States to be eligible for award.

Question: Can you please tell me if this is a new requirement? If not, who is the incumbent, and what is the current contract number?

Answer: This is a new requirement for Aviano AB, Italy.
