3 PEP QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
SUBMITTED AFTER RELEASE
OF THE FINAL RFPS
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
The following additional questions and answers are provided for informational purposes only and intended to assist in clarifying issues raised by potential offerors regarding the official solicitation. Please note, the official solicitation has set forth and established the actual terms and conditions of this acquisition. Any discrepancy between the official solicitation and these questions and answers must be resolved based upon the parameters of the official solicitation. It was the intent of the Government to resolve the majority, if not all, of the issues raised by these questions and answers within the context of the official solicitation; however, additional questions have been raised after its release.
1. Question: SOW, 5.20.2 Invoicing/Payment and Receipts/Acceptance (pg 12): Can the USG please state the net payment terms for contractor invoices submitted through WAWF?
Response: The discount for most of our contracts is “Net 30 Days” and is added in Block 12 on the face page of the award.
2. Question: In Section M Tradeoff Procedure - Section D. Price Factor C.TEP (c) PAGE 6: Is a Technical Support Request (TSR) required for alternate/substitute part numbers as part of this Solicitation Proposal response?
Response: For purposes of selecting offerors for contract award, the Price Matrix itself doesn’t require TSR submissions as the 70%+ (minimum for pricing) excludes items with TSRs. If a TSR is generated, an offeror may submit the TSR with Volume III, Price Proposal.
3. Question: Do you plan on amending subject solicitations based upon your answers to industry questions, specifically with regards to:
A. Authorization to allow critical subcontractor past performance provided the prime and subcontractor have a formalized teaming agreement.
B. Extension of proposal due date to March 16, 2021
Response:
A. Yes, A Prime/Sub relationship is permitted when it is contractually formed in accordance with FAR part 2 “Small Business Teaming Arrangement”, FAR part 9.6 “Contractor Team Arrangements”, and all applicable SBA regulations. The solicitations will be amended to reflect this change.
B. Yes, amendment to the RFPs is in-work.
4. Question: Our Company has entered into a Contractor Teaming Arrangement for the 3PEP SB response. We are acting as the Prime (Small Business) and teamed with a Large Business. In accordance with FAR par 9.6, are we authorized to present Past Performance information from the Large Business as we intend to fully disclose the company relationships in reference to 9.603 Policy?
Response: In accordance with L-900, Proposal Requirements, Section II, C, 1. General: The offeror shall submit Present and Past Performance Information for itself and any joint venture member in accordance with the format contained in the PPI Tool, RFP Attachment (1), Relevancy Assessment, and the following paragraphs. The evaluation of the offeror’s/joint venture member’s present/past performance WILL NOT include the present/past performance of any subcontractor(s), even though they may perform major or critical aspects of this requirement, or be considered critical to the delivery of timely 3PEP orders. Ensure that any Contractor Teaming Agreement complies with all SBA regulations.
5. Question: Ordering process:
a. How does it work in general?
b. Is every delivery order (DO) competed under fair opportunity?
c. What is the average time a DO RFQ is open?
d. Are contract awardees required to submit pricing on every DO or a certain percentage during the contract?
Response: a. The Statement of Work (SOW), Paragraph 5.13, Pricing/Pricing Actions, and the SOW Attachment A, Procedures for Pricing Items on this Contract, provides details on pricing actions for 3PEP. In general for the Ordering process, once each Price List (PL) is awarded, Orders will be placed against the contractor’s awarded ELINs as requirements generate.
b. Every Delivery Order (DO) is competed under fair opportunity as each contractor is allowed to provide a quote on each of the ELINs on each PL, SB contractors for the SB ELINs and 8(a) contractors for the 8(a) ELINs.
c. Quotes are not provided on each DO; therefore, average time that a DO is open is not applicable.
d. Pricing is not required at the DO level, only at the PL level. In accordance with the SOW, Attachment A, III, Performance Objectives, E, Pricing Actions, each 3PEP provider shall be required to be responsive to pricing actions as stated in paragraph 5.13 of the SOW. Each 3PEP provider shall be 100% compliant by submitting either a price or a TSR in support of each pricing action as required by paragraph 5.4 of the SOW.
