10. The answer to Question #7 in FOM_Questions_and_Answers_wek_3.docx states the following: “The offeror is granted the autonomy to exercise independent judgement in determining the most effective and efficient methods for fulfilling the contract requirements as outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Recognizing that each offeror may have unique approaches and capabilities, offerors are specifically instructed to propose the staffing model and positions they deem necessary to ensure the successful and comprehensive performance of all aspects of the contract. This includes they types of positions, the required skill sets, and the level of effort allocated to each position. The Government is seeking innovative and well reasoned proposals that demonstrate a clear understanding of the PWS requirements and a commitment to achieving the desired outcomes.” However, the pricing template provided is currently password protected and does not allow the user to make edits. Offerors are unable to propose pricing reflective of a labor mix other that’s different than the one suggested by the Government (Material Coordinators for all 6 shifts). Please advise.
