T56 Enclosure Solicitation # FA8533-17-R-0003- Question & Answers

1. The PWS references drawings and technical orders, but we did not find these in the FBO announcement.

Response: Drawings will be provided via FBO link.

2. We noted that the PWS and the original synopsis reference one year period of performance, while the RFP Schedule B references 420 Days ARO delivery. Please advise.

Response: The Correct period of performance is 365. Corrections to Schedule B period of performance will be corrected by amendment.

3. We note that the PWS references various data items or CDRLs, and a file with various CDRLs was provided. However, we do not see any CLINs in the RFP Schedule in which to insert our pricing for these CDRLS. Please advise;

Response: Omitted DATA CLIN/subclins under schedule will be added via amendment.

4. We note that page 10 of 10 of the CDRL package references A009 TMCR (PWS 4.2.11) and A010 CAV-AF (PWS 4.5), however no further data such as the TM 86-01 is provided. Please advise;

Response: TM 86-01 will be provided via amendment.

5. We noted that the RFP includes FAR 52.215-1 Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisitions, and does not include FAR 52.215-20 Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data. This would indicate that we are not required to submit certified or other cost and pricing data. However, the RFP also includes DFARS 252.215-7009 Proposal Adequacy Checklist which is required when submitting cost and pricing data. Please confirm that we are not required to submit any cost or pricing data, other than supplying pricing by CLIN/Sub-CLIN;

Response: certified cost or pricing data is not required as this is a competitive procurement.

6. The PWS Para 4.6 Travel specifies that travel requests for contractor personnel shall be submitted for approval to the PCO prior to costs being incurred, five days in advance of departure. And specifies travel shall be conducted IAW FAR 31.205-46, Travel Costs. This provision typically applies to cost reimbursable travel. As the contract only includes fixed priced CLINs for turnkey supply/installation, we are uncertain why this clause is included. Please advise if this requirement applies, or if a cost reimbursable travel CLIN will be added to the Schedule.

Response: All travel cost associated with this procurement should be included in CLIN 0001 for turnkey supply/installation.

7. I noticed there are no FAR clauses incorporated in the solicitation that would allow for some type of progress payments such as allowed by FAR 52.232-16-Progress Payments or FAR 52.232.30-Installment Payments for Commercial Items. Given there is only one CLIN for this solicitation and the estimated ROM dollar value for this CLIN, would the Government consider incorporating a provision for such progress payments in this solicitation?

Response: Consideration has been given. An amendment to include progress payment along with appropriate clauses is forthcoming.
