Only an electronic copy is required. A hard copy submission of the redacted copy is not needed
| 4 | SECTION L 4.1 | Section L 4.1 Client Authorization Letter, Attachment 09 states, “For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.” | Question: Please clarify that the RFP also intends that for each identified effort for a Government customer, the offeror shall submit a consent authorization letter authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.” | N/A | A client authorization letter is needed at the RFP for evaluation of Past Performance, but will not be needed on any subsequent Task Orders |

| Would the Government please clarify that reference was intended for Section L, Appendix B Instructions to Offerors Past Performance (PPI) for Offerors? | |||||

Often the Government provides offerors the option to submit proposals in a PDF format. PDFs will enable increased searchability of key words in embedded graphics and illustrations that MS Office Word format does not offer. The Government may find that this searchability feature in PDFs will aid in the evaluation process. | Would the Government consider revising the submission requirement to accept PDF as a proposal submission format? | ||
| N/A | No, Adobe PDF will not be accepted | ||||

| 1 | In the Solicitation Document entitled "FA8224-17R-0001.docx" page 6 of 89, contains a CLIN 0007 entitled data. There is no CLIN listed type such as FFP in previous drafts and only referenced as "Data". | Would the Government provide some additional information on the intention of this CLIN since all CDRLs are linked to this CLIN item? In previous drafts is appeared this CLIN was FFP for intended use of acquiring OEM products/services under FFP. | This CLIN is Not Separately priced. This CLIN will be utilized to reflect what CDRL's are needed on each Task Order | |||
| 2 | Draft DD From 254 | Draft DD From 254 (dd254_ATSSI-Draft2) indicates in Block 14 additional security requirements apply: “See attached sheet”. However, no sheet is attached. | ||||
| Would the Government please provide the “attached sheet” referenced in Block 14 of the draft DD Form 254? | ||||||
| N/A | The Government will attach this sheet with this question and answer | |||||
| 1 | In the Solicitation Document entitled "FA8224-17R-0001.docx" page 6 of 89, contains a CLIN 0007 entitled data. There is no CLIN listed type such as FFP in previous drafts and only referenced as "Data". | Would the Government please confirm CLIN 007 “Data” is intended for acquiring OEM products/services under FFP? If not, would the Government please define the services or materials it plans to acquire through this CLIN? | N/A | This CLIN is Not Separately priced and is to be utilized with for CDRL's A001-031 | ||
| 2 | RFP Pg 13 of 88 first Paragraph; Pg 14 of 88 Delivery Information CLINs 1001 thru 1007; and Pg 52 of 88 DFARS 252.216-7006 ORDERING. | The referenced sections of the RFP indicate the Base Period PoP ends 30 March 2023, however, the OP PoP begins a year earlier on 31 March 2022 (18 month OP). | Please clarify if the OP PoP is correctly stated in the RFP or if the Base Period PoP should end 30 March 2023, with the OP PoP beginning the next day 31 March 2023 thru 30 September 2023 (6 month OP). | N/A | This is stated correctly. This would allow for an 18 month Task Order to be executed on 29 March 2022. | |
| 3 | Model Contract Section I Pg 19 of 89 FAR 52.222-51; 52.222-52; and, 52.222-53 | The referenced Service Contract Labor Standards Exemption clauses are listed in the RFP, however, FAR 52.222-41; 52.222-42; 52.222-43; 52.222-44 and 52.222-49 are not included. Furthermore, no Wage Determination was provided with the RFP. | Would the Government please verify that because FA8224-17-R-0001 ATSSI requires support from only those employees in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, this effort will be exempt from Service Contract Labor Standards coverage? If this assumption is not accurate, will the Government modify the RFP to include the applicable FAR clauses and provide the current Wage Determination for the locality? | N/A | The Service Contract Act does not apply to this contract, so the Wage Determinations is not required. | |
| 4 | Model Contract Section I Pg 18 of 89 FAR 52.219-9 | The referenced FAR clause requires "The Offeror’s subcontracting plan shall include the following: |
(1) Separate goals, expressed in terms of total dollars subcontracted, and as a percentage of total planned subcontracting dollars, for the use of small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns as subcontractors. For individual subcontracting plans, and if required by the Contracting Officer, goals shall also be expressed in terms of percentage of total contract dollars, in addition to the goals expressed as a percentage of total subcontract dollars.
| Because the Government has not published hours by labor category, Offeror's responses to Solicitation #FA8224-17-R-0001 are "Rates Only" at the IDIQ level, would the Government please confirm it is acceptable for Offeror's to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan with percentages and no dollars indicated due to the unknown value of future Task Orders? | ** This is amended from the posting on 29 November** The Government requests that Contractors use the ADCTO to show their rates and dollar figures |
