Questions (Q) & Answers (A) for Request For Proposal

(RFP) FA8523-14-R-30015

30 October 2014

Q14: Section B of the Solicitation lists the Period of Performance 1 month. Does that period of performance allow time for contractors’ dry runs?

A14: Yes, specifics of the Demo Event are still being developed, but the Government intends to allow each Contractor a specific amount of time for set-up and dry runs. Each contractor will be provided the same amount of time for set-up and dry-runs; however, these dry-runs will not occur at the same time.

Each demo will occur no later than 280 days after award. An RFP Amendment will be posted to change the Period of Performance for CLIN 0004 to 280 days.

Q26: Cost Attachment 3b: Is it correct to assume that offerors are to modify the Attachment 3b to replace the target fee and profit numbers with those proposed, or will the Government be issuing updated Cost Attachments?

A26: Offerors are to modify the Attachment 3b to replace the target fee and profit numbers with those proposed. Cost Attachment 3b will be updated to remove target fee %, profit, and notes will be added to various worksheets to clarify. An RFP amendment will be posted to revise RFP Attachment 3b_Cost Formats A, B and C_Downselect Source Selection.

(Revised) Q28: The RFCM Solicitation does not contain an option exercise clause. Can you provide an option exercise period by Fiscal Year for the LRIP and FRP options?

A28: The RFCM Solicitation contains FAR 52.217-9 Option to Extend the Term of the Contract.

Estimates as to when the Government could, if at all, exercise options are located in Attachment 5, Top Level Milestone Schedule. An RFP Amendment will be posted to incorporate FAR 52.217-7, Option for Increased Quantity -- Separately Priced Line Item.
