3 Attachment A- FOPR Instructions and Evaluation

1.G. Proposal Submittal via DoD

SAFE

Proposals shall be submitted via DoDSAFE to Ben Wilton and Ashley Wynn. Please confirm the DoDSAFE drop-off link requested/provided will specify both Mr. Wilton and Ms. Wynn as recipients, as drop-off links normally only list the individual who issued the link as the recipient, and does not allow the Contractor to add an additional recipient.

If the Government is not able to configure the drop-off link to specify both Mr. Wilton and Ms. Wynn as recipients please confirm submittal to only the DoDSAFE recipient specified in the drop-off link is acceptable.

An email should be sent to both Ben Wilton and Ashley Wynn requesting the DoDSAFE drop-off link. Ben Wilton or Ashley Wynn will provide the DoDSAFE drop-off link and the offeror will reply to that link.

4 Attachment A- FOPR Instructions and Evaluation

1.H. (2) Volume II: Factor 2: Past Performance (15-page max) and Factor 2: Past Performance, Subfactor 2.1

Offerors are required to provide a maximum of three (3) prior efforts within the past five (5) years. Specifically, "detailed narratives and supporting data".

Will the Government please list examples of the type of "supporting data" they require or is this referring to the Subfactor 2.1 requirements only?

Also, with a 15-page maximum limit for all past performance, will the Government clarify is they prefer greater focus on the detailed narrative or the supporting data?

Supporting data is outlined in section 2.1.2 Project Specifics and Platform Identification along with section 2.1.3 Complexity and F-16 Comparability. The greater focus should be on supporting data since the evaluation criteria primarily focuses on their historical experience.

However, they should ensure that they fully cover their understanding of the challenges of integrating software and hardware

A total of 300 ea cables are required for ALQ-131, Anti-Skid, CPDG/eCPDG, CSFDR, EEFCC, and FCSDR. CLIN 005 is referencing one production ready cable each for the above LRUs in which the Government will confirm its design and functionality before CLIN 006, 299 ea cables for the LRUs over the entire contract can be executed.
