Solicitation Questions and Answers #2 20 Oct 2021
| Q1: | We have a question regarding the number of efforts we can provide in the Past Performance | section. We have various IDIQ contracts with multiple delivery orders. Do we consider each | contract with its respective series of delivery orders (aggregate quantities, total dollar value and | total period of performance) as one (1) effort OR will each Delivery Order be considered as one | (1) effort? |
| A1: | Each contract with its respective series of orders will count as one effort. If an ordering type | contract only has one order that demonstrates relevancy, then that one order would count as | a single effort. | ||
| Q2: | Do we send out the “Attachment 7, Past Performance Questionnaire” to our customers to fill | out? Do we also send it out to our subcontractors for them to get feedback on their | performance? | ||
| A2: | Yes, please send out to your customer POCs to either complete and return, or to have on hand for when we conduct our interviews with them. Please also note that any completed questionnaires should not be sent back to you, but should be sent directly to the PCO and buyer. Also, please do ensure your subcontractors receive a copy of the RFP Attachment 7 to send to their respective customer POCs for completion as well. | ||||
| Q3: | We are debating how to use the PPI tool. We understand that we should use the tool to enter | our past performance. But should our subcontractors access the PPI tool as well, seeing as | that they will be sending out the questionnaire to a few of their end-users?. | ||
| A3: | Yes, the subcontractors can access the PPI Tool as well. Since the PPI Tool isn’t considered CUI until the database is populated, potential offerors are able to provide it to their respective subcontractor on their own; or, the potential offeror can always request their subcontractors reach out to the PCO and buyer to request the PPI Tool be sent to them via DoD SAFE. Per Section L, paragraph II.D.2, “Please note that the offeror/joint venture member shall be the party to submit all performance information in the PPI Tool.” So while the subcontractors may input their information to send to the potential offeror, the potential offeror will have to take that information and populate the official PPI Tool submittal. | ||||
| Q4: | Can we send the PPI Tool link to our subcontractors, or would the PCO/buyer have to generate new links for them? | ||||
| A4: | Since the PPI Tool isn’t considered CUI until the database is populated, potential offerors are able to provide it to their respective subcontractor on their own; or, the potential offeror can always request their subcontractors reach out to the PCO and buyer to request the PPI Tool be sent to them via DoD SAFE. | ||||
| Q5: | Can you confirm the proposal due date? | ||||
| A5: | Proposals are due no later than 3:30 PM EST on 16 November 2021. Any proposals received after that time will be considered late in accordance with FAR 15.208(b). | ||||
| Q6: | We’re starting to reach out to our customers regarding the past performance | questionnaire. When should we tell them to expect a call from your office to discuss? | |||
| A6: | They can expect a call or at least an email requesting availability for a call within three weeks of | proposal due date. | |||
| Q7: | Clarification on Q6: | ||||
| (a) We can send any time? | |||||
| (b) Have them submit to your office NLT 16 November? |
(c) Expect a call/email within 3 weeks after Past Performance deadline?
A7: (a) Yes, you can send to them at any time.
(b) Yes, they can send completed questionnaires at any time, preferably NLT 16 Nov 21. Whether or not they submit a completed questionnaire, we will reach out to try and schedule an interview unless the POC provides written correspondence stating they do not wish to be interviewed and will let the questionnaire responses stand on their own.
(c) We will get in contact with the POCs within three weeks of 16 Nov 21.
