About this file
This document provides answers to industry questions regarding the Ground Subsystems Sustainment Contract (GSSC) 2.0 solicitation. The GSSC 2.0 is a final solicitation from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command seeking proposals for sustainment services for ground subsystems. Offerors must submit technical questions by May 31, 2019 and can request a bidder's library CD containing additional solicitation details by providing contact information to the listed points of contact. The selected contractor will provide sustainment services for an 18-year period of performance under the contract. The government does not intend to include an economic price adjustment clause or modify fixed price task order contracts, but will allow reconsideration of the prime contractor's labor rates before exercising each five-year option period to help mitigate risks to offerors from bidding rates far in advance.

GSSC 2.0
Answer to Industry Question to RFP Amendment 2 Posted 6 June 2019
1) The Government does not intend to add language to the contract nor add an Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) clause for future fixed price task orders that are awarded onto GSSC 2.0. The Section J, Attachment 10 Labor Rate Matrix is intended to apply to the Prime Contractor’s labor for all task orders, no matter the pricing arrangement. The Government understands the risks associated with offerors bidding labor rates for an 18 year period of performance. The Government has worked to mitigate those risks by providing the possibility of adjusting those rates prior to exercising each five-year option and by not including subcontractor and interdivisional organizations within the labor rate matrix. It is the Government’s position that providing this opportunity to reconsider the rates as explained in H.004 sufficiently binds the risk within much more manageable five-year (eight-year for the last one) timeframes.
