Responses to Questions

Last Updated: 28 August 2018

1. Are the Exhibit A pricing, FAR 52.209-11, FAR 52.212-2, COI & Proof of Insurance meeting the requirements the only submitted items?

Government Response: The Quality Control Plan should also be submitted.

2. In Exhibit A, at the top, there is a note about “to be completed at annual review.” Who completes this?

Government Response: On a yearly basis, the prices will be able to be refreshed/changed in accordance to a “Contracting Officer’s Review.” The Contracting Officer in charge of the requirement will contact the contractor to ask if the prices remain valid, or if updated prices will be needed. The contractor will then submit an updated Exhibit A – Pricing List for year 2/3/4/etc. The contractor is also able to begin this process by reaching out to the CO to notify them that prices will be changing. The new price list(s) will then be incorporated into the BPA by a contract modification processed by the buyer and contracting officer.

3. In lines X014 AA&AB, are we to use the rates in the DRS? There is no DRS. Are you referring to the 400NG?

Government Response: A solicitation amendment will be forthcoming to correct this mistake. The customer has agreed that the 400NG is the correct reference.

4. On line items X035AA-AM, what does the unit “LO” mean? Are we to price these reports? Are these prices included in the evaluation?

Government Response: These reports are Not Separately Priced. The quantities and units are incorrect, and will be corrected with the upcoming solicitation amendment. (please see below)
