RFP # FA8501-08-R-0030

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

The closing date for the RFP has been suspended indefinitely to facilitate a limited exchange of information. In a concurrent posting on www.fbo.gov, the Government is providing historical information detailing the daily average quantity of units input and output by month from February 2004 through September 2008. Offerors are provided the opportunity to analyze this information in light of the Variation in Quantity (VIQ) clause in section H of the RFP and provide feedback. In particular, offerors should assess the impact of the VIQ clause on the level of risk- cost and technical- associated with the Robins AFB PMEL services effort and respond to the following questions:

1. Does the VIQ clause adequately mitigate the contractor’s risk against workload increases?

2. With respect to workload decreases, does the VIQ clause significantly impact the contractor’s ability to maintain a stable work force? If so, how?

3. What changes, if any, should be made in the VIQ clause to more effectively mitigate the risks due to workload fluctuations?

Send responses to craig.polk@robins.af.mil and john.glenn@robins.af.mil. Responses are due on or before 29 Oct 2008. A definite closing date will be established in a subsequent RFP amendment following analysis of the feedback received in response to this request.
