| 26) The posting of July 26th states your are looking for 2 personnel for these | efforts which constitute 4 different schools of knowledge? | ||||||
| a. Section 1.14 has seven (7) subsection paragraphs. The PWS states the | government only has space for two Contractors, one at OC-ALC and one | at WR-ALC. Each must meet all of the knowledge and experience | requirements defined in section 1.14, including | subparagraphs of the | PWS. Also refer to sections L and M, Subfactor one. |
| 27) In the four specific elements o PWS, are you expecting the CPA to have 5 | years experience in each 1.14.1 through 1.14.7? | ||||

| 28) Section L indicates this is a LPTA while the Solicitation states a Service | Contract Rate aren’t these conflicting? | |||||

| a. No |
30) Is there a current incumbent contractor?

| a. See amendment 1 |
| 32) Reference paragraphs 1.1 and 1.14 of PWS. Will the government accept | financial certifications from the government (e.g., Certified Defense | Financial Manager (CDFM) or Certified Government Financial Manager | (CGFM)) in lieu of the CPA requirement? |
| a. No |
33) Why is the government requiring the reporting of itemized man-hours and costs for a FFP contract? (CDRL_A001_DIMGMT_80368A references a requirement in paragraph 3.2.3 to “Itemized man-hours and costs. Itemized man-hour and cost expenditure incurred for the reporting period by category and task, total contractual expenditures, and funds remaining as of the reporting date.”)
a. Replacement employees could result in changes in monthly billing; this helps to document what occurred during the month for audit purposes
33) The technical volume is limited to fifteen (15) pages. Are the resumes part of that 15 page limit?
| a. No, the resumes are separate and up to 4 pages each. | |||
| 34) Is the page limit for Relevant Past Performance 4 pages per contract or 4 | pages total? If it is 4 pages per contract, is there a limit on the number of | past performance contracts that can be submitted? |
a. Four pages total; not four pages per contract.
35) The government has indicated that electronic file submission is preferred. Is there a preferred file naming convention for the submission? How do we “name” an electronic file submission that is sanitized and yet still identifiable by the government without having our company name in the file name?
a. You should send two electronic files (emails)—one will contain all unsanitized documents as attachments, and one will contain all sanitized documents as attachments. Each attachment within each submission will be named Technical-Unsanitized, Past Peformance-Unsanitized, etc, etc. Same with sanitized (Technical-Sanitized, etc). Usually they are submitted with the contractor’s name and solicitation number in the subject line of each. This is acceptable. (All unsantized become part of the official contract file. Sanitized are for the technical team only, which are printed out by the Contracting Officer for the technical team to evaluate).
36) Besides the completed Part 1 Section B. of the RFP, what other cost and pricing data is required for Government evaluation? DOes the Government intend to provide the Bidders with a template or pricing format?
a. See Section L, Evaluation Factors (page 2). No, the government will not provide a template or pricing format.
