RVA_RFP_Questions.pdf

1. PWS 3.10 page 6: Please clarify the ECP requirement. Will the ECP be against the weapons system, or against the current RVA system? The current RVA ECP (05-IPIC-003) is not against the weapon system.

ECPs will be against the current RVA system.

2. PWS 3.26 page 16: LCSP is referred to twice in this paragraph, but nowhere else in the PWS. Please clarify what this document is, and whether it is an existing document, or if we are to generate it along with the LCMP. Did not find an RVA II LCSP in the bidder’s library nor the CDRL list.

LCSP has been created and will be provided to Contractor at award. We will need inputs from Contractor per LCMP CDRL A030. The Government will take these inputs and update the document accordingly.

3. PWS 3.27 page 17: Is the intent for RVA to remain outside of the weapon system? If so, ICD's will be internal to the RVA system, with the possible exception of the single interface with the LCC modem?

Please be aware that no internal or external ICDs exist now for RVA. Will the ICDs only be required for the RVA II modifications? Or is there an expectation that a larger set of ICDs be generated for all of RVA? Or does the ICD requirement only apply to the LCC modem interface?

RVA will remain outside the ICBM weapon system. An ICD will need to be created any time there is an interface with the ICBM weapon system. ICDs will be internal to the RVA System. Any modifications done on RVA II will require ICDs if interfacing with weapon system.

4. Section L, Contract clauses (page 17 of solicitation): We noticed that Section L removed a requirement to submit a small business plan, but 52.219.9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, was added to the clauses. The only reference to small business in Section M is in paragraph 4.1.3 in the past performance section, looking a small business involvement on previous contracts. Please clarify if a small business plan is required for this proposal. (Answer: Utilization Plan was removed, but Small Business Subcontractor Plan still required?).

Small business utilization plan was removed from the RFP after Draft RFP. A Small Business Subcontractor Plan is still required per FAR 52.219-9.

5. FBO posting and Solicitation: Is there a requirement/deadline to notify the Air Force bidder’s intent to propose?

No there is not a deadline, just by closing date of 13 June 2016.

6. FBO posting and Solicitation: Is there any guidance on submitting questions?

All questions will be submitted to the PCO Carmen North in writing by email.

7. 6.1.2 Total Evaluated Price (TEP) Pricing Matrix: For Pricing purposes, what is Attachment 11 from Section J? Offerors shall populate the pricing and cost cells in Section J Attachment 11. The Government will use this worksheet to calculate the TEP.

This CLIN Pricing Matrix worksheet is to evaluate the Total Price of the contract, base and option years.

The contractor is to fill out this worksheet and it should match what is in Section B of the contract.

Section J in the solicitation calls out Attachment 11 as the CLIN Pricing Matrix.
