General/RFP/PWS/SOO/Proposals Questions

1. Question: In ‘Attachment 3 – PWS Template’ ‘Part 5 – Specific

Tasks’ line #975, the government states: ”[Describe how the work is to be accomplished (IAW RFP attachment 2, SOO) in sequential order, i.e., 5.2, 5.3, etc. below]“

Request that you please confirm the government still expects offerors to explain HOW they are going to perform the specific tasks in the

PWS we’re to write.

However, if on the other hand, the government expects offerors to tell

WHAT specific tasks they’re going to perform in section 5 of the PWS, and subsequently HOW they will perform those tasks in Technical

Subfactor 2 - Program Management Plan.

Answer: Contractors are expected to tell the Government HOW they will perform the requirements outlined in the SOO.

2. Question: We respectfully request that the government increase the page limitation for this section to 50 Pages to allow sufficient space for us to provide our response?

Answer: The 50 page limit for the PWS described in the Amendment to FAR 52.212-1, Table 1 – Proposal Organization (see RFP Exhibit

A) only applies to Part 5 of the PWS Template. Parts 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and

Exhibit 2 shall not be altered and are not counted as part of the page limit. Part 2 may be altered to include definitions and acronyms found in the Offeror’s Part 5. Part 2 will not be counted as part of the page limit. Exhibit 1 may be altered to include PWS references only and is not counted as part of the page limit. Please see the revised

Attachment 3 – PWS Template.

3. Question: Can you help facilitate an appointment/meeting to meet with the 88 Medical Group SME on the JANUS program?

Answer: The Government will not facilitate the requested meeting and also requests that you not contact the 88th Medical Group directly. The scope of the JANUS program is stated in the SOO.

4. Question: I would like a list of incumbent employees so I can offer them contingent hire letters. This is (IAW Executive Order 13495, Non-Displacement of Workers on Service Contracts) to ensure you have adequate competition and we can provide you as many incumbent employees as possible and reduce your risk.

Answer: The Government will not provide a list of current contractor employees. IAW FAR 52.222-17(e)(2), the successor contractor will receive a list of certified service employees after contract award.

5. Question: Do you plan to have a classified Competition Library where P&S can register and then have access to the detail of JANUS work we require to bid the work? Having bid on a number of classified proposals this is usual and customary to provide all the same data that the incumbent has.

Answer: We will not have a classified Competition Library for the

JANUS program because the scope of the JANUS program is unclassified and is stated in the SOO. The incumbent does not have a competitive edge in terms of bidding this requirement. The classified work to be done does not require a bid; the classified work is directly paid for by the JANUS program and is not part of an offeror’s proposed TEP.
