Questions & Answers Q1. Document GS2569A04A titled General Specification for Survivability/Vulnerability is listed in the Statement of Work (SOW) as applicable documents. Since this document is not available should this document be removed as an applicable document?

A1. The document GS2569A04B will be removed from the both the SOW and the Systems Requirement Document (SRD) and be replaced with the applicable MIL-HDBK-516C document. Amendment to the solicitation is forthcoming, pending approval.

Q2. Are the MK107 cartridges to be provided as GFE to the supplier or will we be required to contact directly with the manufacturer. If the later, please provide the name of the approved source of supply designated for those.

A2. The MK107 cartridges will not be provided as GFE. The successful offeror will be provided two inert weapons, a 2,000 lb and 500 lb which are listed on the GFE attachment 5 of the solicitation posted 31 July 2018.

Q3. Can the Government please clarify EVMS reporting. The SOW and CDRL A00Z are not consistent regarding Earned Value and financial reporting. The SOW states only a CFSR is required in lieu of EVM (Earned Value Management) and CDRL A00Z requires EVM reporting for Formats 1,5,7 and variance explanations.

A3. Earned Value Management is not a requirement of this effort. Per SOW paragraph 3.1.2 of Financial Management, the contractor shall provide a Contract Funds Status Report (CFSR) in lieu of Earned Value Management (EVM) (CDRL D00E, DI-MGMT-81468/T). SOW paragraph 3.1.5 of Integrated Master Schedule states the contractor shall create, maintain, manage and deliver a B-1 BRU-56 IMS (CDRL A00Z, DI-MGMT-81861A/T). The Government understands the confusion because even though the SOW does not call out EVMS, the CDRL for Integrated Master Schedule (A00Z) has the old verbiage. The CDRL A00Z will be updated to reflect the correct verbiage. Amendment to the solicitation is forthcoming, pending approval.
