1. RFQ page 2, 3. Basis for Award; Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose quote represents the best value to the government based on the lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation process. Can the government please clarify if this work, finalizing the documentation intended to serve as the design guidance to operational forces to mitigate terrorist attacks at operational bases, is a best value or LPTA competition?

LPTA is an evaluation technique found within the best value continuum. In this instance the best value to the government has been determined to be the lowest priced quote that meets all technical requirements of the solicitation package.

Reference: FAR 15.101 ‐‐ Best Value Continuum.

2. SOW, page 3, 1.0 Description of Services; Can the government please clarify “The Contractor shall provide all services, labor, equipment, materials, travel, and associated services required…”

This sentence means that the contractor must provide everything they need to meet the requirements outlined in the SOW. For example, if you determine that you need a laptop to accomplish what the SOW requires, you have to provide it to your team. If the SOW requires your team to travel, you have to make any necessary arrangements.
