Sheet1
| Segment Number | Segment Name | Question | Response |
| 3 | PROS Program Overview | What process do you follow if the authorized source of repair does not exist? | For Non-standard item repairs, if the contractor is unable to locate a qualified source, the requisition will be cancelled. For Standard item repairs, if an approved source is not available, the requirement will not be eligible for PROS support. |
| 3 | PROS Program Overview | For those situations where a part is no longer available/in production/non-standard; Does the USG want the Contractor to look for new sources to manufacture a suitable substitute part? | When parts are obsolete, the contractor should attempt to locate a source capable of re-manufacturing the part. Also, suitable substitutes can be offered, but require customer approval. |
| 3 | PROS Program Overview | Are all fill fees expected to be "flat fees" per LOS? Or may fill fees be based on percentage of transaction volume as well as LOS? | Fill fees are the FFP portion of this contract. This means the awardee's fill fees will be fixed upon contract award per the proposal. These are flat fees. |
| 3 | PROS Program Overview | What are some of the more significant "urgent" maintenance actions? | The significance of the maintenance action is not determined until the Test, Teardown, & Inspection (TTI) is performed. Some general examples of significant maintenance actions are: engine overhaul, repair of night vision devices, engine blades, radar systems, circuit card assemblies, etc. |
| 3 | PROS Program Overview | Of the 13,600 maintenance orders processed; how many were completed? | As of 20 April 2015, 9,481 maintenance requistions are complete. Completed requisitions equates to those that are on contract or cancelled and have been invoiced and paid. |
| 3 | PROS Program Overview | What percentage of orders are non-standard by category: supply, maintenance, and task orders? | As of 20 April 2015, 75% of submitted supply requistions fall in the non-standard category. |
Our system generated data does not distinguish what is non-standard vs. what is standard for maintenance requistions. PROS task orders are not broken into non-standard and standard categories.
3 PROS Program Overview How many requisitions get cancelled by percentage and category: supply, maintenance, and task orders? As of 20 April 2015, of the ~70,000 requisitions submitted, ~30% have been cancelled. This consists of both contractor and customer generated cancellations.
Of the ~30%, the following cancellation percentages apply to each category (i.e. total cancelled supply requisitions/total supply requisitions):
Supply = ~32% Maintenance = ~33% Task Orders = ~11%
| 3 | PROS Program Overview | Why the huge difference in cost of PROS II vs. all the others (which have been under $1B)? | Previous and current contract values have been/are based on historical requisition volume and associated dollar values. PROS V also has a longer period of performance, so it has a higher total contract value. |
| 3 | PROS Program Overview | What is the biggest challenge/problem with PROS that you would like to see fixed? | Obsolescence is an obvious challenge for this program. Also, the program has been capturing and implementing lessons learned for the duration of this contract, and we intend to continuously incorporate program improvements. |
| 3 | PROS Program Overview | For AF standard parts… does a PICA/SICA relationship between AF/NAVY/ARMY constitute an AF standard SOS or SOR? (even if Navy/Army are the SOS/SOR)?" | PROS standard items are identified when the USAF is the PICA, regardless of the relationship with other sources. If the Army or Navy is the PICA, the item is to be treated as non-standard; the same is true when the AF is the SICA. |
| 4 | Acquisition Strategy Overview | Government states there was an adjustment to on contract goals and other OPIs: Will the USG provide the PROS IV OPI and on contract goals? | Yes, this is public information that is part of the current contract. You can obtain it through the FOIA Library (AF FOIA Reading Room). The current contract number is FA8630-12-D-5018. |
| 4 | Acquisition Strategy Overview | Will the Government provide historical data regarding contractor achievement of those incentives?" | No, individual contractor performance information is not releasable. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | Understanding that all communication between contractor and AFSAC and customer(s) is all via SAMIS? | For clarification purposes, all correspondence relating to PROS requisitions are to be documented in SAMIS; however, the contractor will process status transactions and narratives in the USG IT system… that data will be pushed to SAMIS. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | Contractor's means of presenting order opportunity to vendor community is through the contractor's web portal… correct? | Yes, solicitation processes are at the contractor's discretion; the USG cannot define the business practices used by the PROS contractor. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | Will the IT batch/staging timeframe be after normal working hours or will it interrupt or impact the contractor's normal working day? | The batch processing time will be determined upon contract award. Our intent is for batch processing to occur after normal working hours. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | It is our understanding that SAMIS is a legacy system with complex and unfriendly user interface. This drives efficiency for data inputs, etc. Therefore, will the USG provide a SAMIS manual as part of the solicitation to assist US with estimating staffing requirements? | The contractor will not be inputting data directly into SAMIS. The PWS outlines the contract requirements. The USG will be providing a user guide for the USG IT System as this will be the system the contractor uses, not SAMIS. This user guide will not be available until after award and will only be provided to the awardee. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | What is the current state of development of the USG IT system?" | The USG IT System development is well underway and will be available to the awardee upon contract award. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | Will this be a web-based user interface? | The USG IT System is an application on AFSAC Online which is a web-based interface. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | Is AFSAC Online role based for access? | Yes, access to AFSAC Online is defined by the user profile and role/responsibility. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | If yes, What are the roles? | Within USG systems (SAMIS and AFSAC Online) user profiles exist for USG employees, customers, and USG contractors; a unique profile will be created for the PROS V awardee. The USG IT system the contractor will use will not be accessed by the customer. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | Which personnel will be required to have a secret clearance? | All contractor personnel who access the USG IT system will be required to have a secret clearance or acceptable NACI. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | Will you establish and expose an API for the USG IT system to allow for data exchange between the USG IT system and the contractor's IT system? | There will not be an API between the USG IT system and any contractor system. The USG will make all data files available for the contractor's use. |
| 5 | MIS Operations Overview | Since AFSAC Online is currently in development, please list all modules or functionality that will be ready on day one of the contract. | Upon contract award, the USG IT system will be capable of processing all required status transaction and narratives per the contract requirements. |

| 6 | RFP Overview - General Layout & Contracting | Early proposal information states: 'Each offeror is encouraged to submit the information shown in Attachment 3 - PPIT for each of its relevant contracts 15 days prior to date set'. Will the USG please clarify in what format the information should be submitted? For example, electronic submission of the PPI tool data through the PPI Tool system, hard copy submission, of the PPI Tool data only, electronic submission of the PPI Tool data on electronic media only, or a combination of these types of submittals? | The entire past performance volume is requested 15 days before the proposal due date. The volume shall include both electronic and paper copies. |
| 6 | RFP Overview - General Layout & Contracting | Is there any prohibition on contractor working with FMS customer to influence task orders? | There is no prohibition, but the PROS PMO needs to be included on all correspondence. Whether or not a potential task order is within the scope of the contract is at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. |
| 6 | RFP Overview - General Layout & Contracting | Is past performance all inclusive or just prime offeror (all potential team members/providers)? | Past performance information should be submitted for the prime, joint venture/teaming partners, and/or significant subcontractors.

| 6 | RFP Overview - General Layout & Contracting | What CLIN is used to pay the labor cost of a maintenance action TTI and actual repair? | CLIN 0006AB (cost reimbursable) is the correct CLIN for this purpose. |
| 6 | RFP Overview - General Layout & Contracting | Is this CLIN FFP, CR, or Cost Plus or some other structure? | This is a pass through cost with no profit allowed. |
| 6 | RFP Overview - General Layout & Contracting | To clarify, the small business Plan is not required, only a few paragraphs are required to explain small business participation. Is SB PLAN an attachment? Please confirm. | SB subcontracting plan is a Section J attachment that will be submitted by each offeror. Details of what needs to be included in the plan are located in FAR 52.219-8. A narrative explaining small business participation shall be submitted in Volume I, Tech Capability Volume. |
| 6 | RFP Overview - General Layout & Contracting | If wage rate determination applies, does this require supporting documentation for fill fee calculations? | There are no supporting documentation required for fill fee calculations as they relate to a wage rate determination. Adequate price competition will determine reasonableness. If only one offer is received, further pricing data may be required. |
| 6 | RFP Overview - General Layout & Contracting | Reference Section L, Page 16, 17 and 18, Section 4.4.1.4, 4.5.1, and 4.5.9. For clarification: Are all Section J - Attachments to be provided in the Contract Documentation Volume or in other volumes or both? Specifically, should Section J, Attachment 3 be in Volume V or Volume III or both. We assume Section J, Attachment 5 should be limited only to Volume IV IAW 4.4.1.4. | Most Section J attachments shall be provided in the Volume V, Contract Documentation. Specifically Section J, Attachment 3 shall be provided in Volume V, Contract Documentation. Your assumption regarding Section J, Attachment 5 is correct; provide Section J, Attachment 5 in Volume IV, Price. |
| 6 | RFP Overview - General Layout & Contracting | Reference Section L, Page 16 and 17, paragraphs 4.4.1.1, 4.4.1.4, and 4.4.1.6.

Government will notify an offeror through evaluation notices during discussions if we require additional pricing data. |
| 7 | RFP Review - PWS | Reference Cancellation Rate: What if you find a qualified part through a qualified source but cannot obtain a COC from the OEM and have to cancel? Is this contractor penalized for the cancellation? | CoCs don't necessarily come from the OEM, unless the OEM is the supplier/awardee. No fill fee is earned unless a contract is awarded. |
| 7 | RFP Review - PWS | Is there any prohibition on contractor visiting with the FMS customer? | There are no prohibitions, but all meetings related to PROS needs to have a PROS PMO representative. |
| 7 | RFP Review - PWS | Can goals be met in part through teaming with small businesses? | No. Goals are met by awards to small businesses. |
| 7 | RFP Review - PWS | Are goals met through awards to small business vendors? | Yes. Goals are met by awards to small businesses. |
| 7 | RFP Review - PWS | How many SDRs have been submitted on the 70,834 items ordered to date on PROS IV? | Approximately 500 SDRs have been submitted for consideration. |
| 7 | RFP Review - PWS | Can you breakout by spares and repairs? | As of 20 April 2015, there have been ~59,000 supply requistions submitted and ~14,000 repair requisitions submitted. |
| 7 | RFP Review - PWS | Why are SDRs received for incorrect items, wrong quantity or unsuitable substitutes when the requisition must clearly define the requirement? | SDRs can be submitted within these categories for two reasons: (1) customer did not clearly define requirement, or (2) vendor error. Although the customer is to clearly define the requirement, language barriers and inadvertent mistakes result in SDRs. |
| 7 | RFP Review - PWS | Why are SDRs such an issue? Why after 20 years of experience does this still present such a challenge? Have you categorized the issues? Can you present/share your analysis? | There is nothing prohibiting customers from submitting SDRs regardless of whether they are valid or not. The volume of valid SDRs is minimal in relation to the overall requisition count. We focus on SDR reduction as a good customer service practice. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | How are email and DAMES communication transferred to the government IT system? Will this require double input? And how does customer respond? | There's dual action required when info is needed from the customer. Status transactions and narratives need to be input in the USG IT Systems. An email or DAMES message must be sent to customer notifying them of the request. This can be a simple copy/paste action from the previously processed narrative. Customers provide responses through the customer communication tool; those responses will be pushed to the USG IT system. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Will the contract file and vendor information be maintained in SAMIS or contractor's system? | The contract file will not be maintained in SAMIS. It's at the contractor's discretion how they will maintain the file, along with any other pertinent procurement information. All contract file data must be made available to the USG upon request. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Is a PCM/PNM template in SAMIS? | No, templates are note provided in SAMIS. Refer to FAR 15.406-3 for requirements for what should be included in a pricing memo/PNM/PCM. Refer to AFFARS 5315.406-3(a) for a PNM Checklist and PNM templates. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Are Task orders 'pass through', also or are they Prime PROS vendor? | Task orders are not pass through. They are proposed as FFP for the effort and travel is CR. Proposal preparation, task order execution, & profit are allowed. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Per solicitation requirements, can you define fair and reasonable pricing on non-standard items? | A fair and reasonable price determination is required whether or not it is standard or non-standard. Recommend you reference FAR subpart 15.4, FAR 15.404 and FAR 15. 406 Proposal Analysis Techniques in documenting the negotiation. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | How is the current contract performing versus the goals laid out in slide 82? | Current contract performance is not releasable. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | How are meetings/visits with customers or vendor evaluation visits paid/funded? | If the meeting is customer driven, it will be funded by the customer. If the contractor determines vendor meetings are necessary, funding will be the contractor's responsibility. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | SDR Resolution for invalid SDRs are funded how? | Invalid SDR costs are paid for by the customer. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | How is a total of 10 valid total SDRs achievable on over 30,000 requisitions per year? | First, the OPI related to SDR Prevention is related to a specific set of SDRs, being SDRs for incorrect items, wrong quantity, or unacceptable substitutes. Second, the volume of valid SDRs are minimal when compared to the total requisition count. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Based on codes the government can determine what fee applies. Can you explain the invoicing process and contractor responsibilities for tracking applicable fees and invoicing? | Invoicing procedures are defined in the PWS. The contractor will not be required to determine which fee applies; the USG IT system will automatically calculate the applicable fees and will be displayed for invoicing purposes. The invoicing process between the prime contractor and vendors occurs. Outside the USG IT system as that is a business decision left up to the contractor. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | How are the award objectives achievable for major OEM requirement since OEMs take longer than target time frames to quote? | The contract award objectives contained in the PROS V RFP are based on historical data. Please keep in mind, the objectives are the target requirement; however, the contractor has up to 150 days to award contracts. Also, there's an established process for requirements which need to exceed the 150 day timeframe due to long lead OEM quote time. This process is only to be used as required IAW Section J, Attachment 1, PWS Paragraph 2.1.2. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Can you clarify that all penalties related to fill fees will be deducted automatically? In other words… Does the contractor track (?) fee reduction or does this occur automatically? | This will occur automatically within the USG IT System. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | You stated there was no "profit" on pass thru costs for repairs and supplies. We assume by profit you also mean no G&A other costs -- contractor only gets paid fill fee. Please confirm. | That is correct. No G&A on pass through costs. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Why is the Service Summary cancel target 25%, but OPI is 8%? That is a significant difference. We understand OPI is incentive, but what is achievability based on for these incentives? | These percentages are in reference to contractor generated cancellations. The 8% OPI figure is based on historical data; the 25% Service Summary figure is a contractual threshold, allowing the USG to identify when to intervene and request contractor resolution. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | AFSAC stated invalid SDRs are paid by the "customer". Did you mean contractor? | Invalid SDR costs, such as transportation and TTI (if required) are paid for by the customer. Prime contractor costs related to the investigation of invalid SDRs are a contractor expense. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | If all status code entry will be processed through the US Government IT system, why would the contractor be required to perform double entry using an email or DAMES message to communicate with the customer? | There's dual action required when info is needed from the customer. Status transactions and narratives need to be input in the USG IT Systems. An email or DAMES message must be sent to customer notifying them of the request. This can be a simple copy/paste action from the previously processed narrative. Customers provide responses through the customer communication tool; those responses will be pushed to the USG IT system. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | What is the % of valid SDRs versus invalid? Are there a large # of invalid SDRs submitted by countries? | SDR stats related to contractor performance are not releasable. |
Customers may submit SDRs on any perceived non-conformity, shipment or documentation issues. A ten-year history to date indicates less than 1% of SDRs are determined to be valid.
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | It is the intent of the government to access the Contractor’s contracting electronic file system or per procedure A002 to provide upon request. | The government's intent is to access the contractor's contracting electronic file system during quarterly reviews/audits. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | How does the Government plan to accommodate when there are system interruptions during periods of unplanned or unscheduled downtimes? | The USG IT system should very rarely experience unscheduled/unplanned downtime; when interruptions do occur, AFSAC system network issues are resolved expeditiously. Also, system interruptions that negatively impact performance metrics will be taken into consideration; consideration provided will be dependent upon the situation encountered. Please note, USG IT system interruptions should not cause a complete work stoppage for the contractor. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Are bid boards and other contractor activities conducted in SAMIS and AFSAC Online? | All activites related to solicitation processes and/or business practices are at the contractor's discretion and will not be performed within the USG IT system. Only requisition status transactions and narratives need to be input in the USG IT Systems. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | What is the definition of manufacturer COC requirement? Is it actual manufacturer, the requested CAGE or OEM? | The CoC is documented affirmation that the item or repair provided conforms to the following: drawings, specifications, approved instructions, industry standards or approvals, aviation regulations, company standards, government approvals, OEM traceability, etc. CoCs don't necessarily come from the OEM, CoCs are to be provided by the vendor who is actually supplying the part or service. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | When CoC is not available, will the Government employee or permit Alternative Release Procedures as defined in FAR 46.101. | No, CoCs are required for all parts and services. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | If the part if found, but no manufacturing CoC exists or is not available and the requisition has to be cancelled, will the Contractor be penalized? | Requistions will not be cancelled due CoCs not being available. CoCs are provided by the vendor at the time the part is provided or service is complete; CoCs are merely documentation that the item or repair provided conforms to the following: drawings, specifications, approved instructions, industry standards or approvals, aviation regulations, company standards, government approvals, OEM traceability, etc. CoCs are required for all parts and services. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Should this statement be deleted due to response in the Draft RFP Q&A #58? | The words "trend analysis" will not be removed from PWS Paragraph 4.3.6; the contractor will not be required to submit a trend analysis report to the USG; however, the contractor shall evaluate all SDRs submitted for informational purposes only. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | What is the normal response time for the AFSAC Help Desk? | The response time is dependent upon the criticality of the issue. The critical issues will be addressed immediately while less critical issues are worked as they come up. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Clarify how the Government will notify the contractor that there are active requisitions in SAMIS to be worked. | The USG IT system will identify active requisitions that are to be worked by the contractor. USG IT system user guides will be provided to the awardee after contract award. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | How will the contractor know that a new requisition has been created? | The USG IT system will identify new requisitions that are to be worked by the contractor. USG IT system user guides will be provided to the awardee after contract award. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | Will the PROS handbook dated 1 April 2015 be updated? | The PROS handbook is a living document that is updated as required. The current PROS handbook is for the PROS IV program and will be updated to reflect PROS V changes after contract award. With that being said, the PROS Handbook is provided for FMS customer use and is available on AFSAC On-line. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | For every transaction that AFSAC requires a response – can that data be pulled in a file, i.e., price approval, warranty approval – how will we know when our question is answered? | The USG IT system will identify requisitions in which the customers have provided responses. All data will be available for the contractor to export. |
| 7 | RFP Review-PWS | What is the process if the country doesn’t accept XH warranty terms? | If customer does not accept warranty terms, the requistion will be cancelled (reference PWS Paragraph 3.7.3.9.1). |
| 8 | RFP Review-Technical Volume | Will you discuss OCI in more detail? Our understanding is firewall protection is all that is required. | See RFP page 50 for all applicable OCI clauses, PWS para 4.11, Section L, page 12, and Section M, para 2.1.2, Table 7. |
| 8 | RFP Review-Technical Volume | Due to the CoC requirements, do you see/perceive a decline in small business utilization since a majority of requirements could be sourced to brokers and distributors? | The CoC is simply certification to specs/standards. This requirement should not have any effect on small business utilization. |
| 8 | RFP Review-Technical Volume | Tips state: Do not include pricing /past performance information in this volume technical volume. Typically past performance and experience is used to support the technical approach. Are you saying not to do this? | You may provide your "experience" in your technical capability volume if you want to. Past performance is and always has been evaluated separately in USG source selections. |
| 9 | RFP Review - Price Volume | Understanding the USG anticipates completion and therefore only requesting the Pricing Spreadsheet in Vol IV…. Is it accurate then since no supporting documentation is required to justify fill fees that the USG will base price reasonableness solely on competition? | Yes, Government anticipates Adequate Price Competition, so reasonableness will be based on competition/comparison of submitted offers. |
| 9 | RFP Review - Price Volume | Price proposals are composed of order processing fees - contractors are not to propose for the ceiling value of $4.2B, correct? In other words, we don't account for the $3.9B estimated for parts, maintenance, and tasks orders, correct? | Correct, the offeror is only proposing fill and service fees that add up to TEP. The fees are not expected to achieve a TEP that equates to the $4.2B contract value. |
| 9 | RFP Review-Price | 1) In regards to wage determination (SCA), are you mapping to these or is it up to each company? 2) How we staff and the skills chosen would dictate if SCA or not. How do you ensure equal/fair evaluation? 3) Innovation and process can reduce manning and/or require different skills? | It is the contractor's responsibility to pay wages IAW the wage rate determination to those employees to which it applies. How you staff and ramp up is a business decision. |
| 9 | RFP Review-Price | 1) Will dollars for actual parts, maintenance, tasks flow through prime's accounting system? 2) Is contract for parts, maintenance with prime and supplier or government and supplier? 3) Who is paying vendors for parts and maintenance? | 1) Yes, that will be a contract between the prime and the vendor. 2) Prime and Supplier 3) The Prime Contractor. |
| 10 | RFP Review-Past Performance | Does the past performance volume 5 page limit include: 1) narrative, 2) list of entities, 3) Change history (Please confirm)? | The 5 page limit is only for the narrative, and the narrative only includes the organizational change history. You may include your list of entities (companies that you sent questionnaires to) in your narrative, but it cannot exceed 5 pages. |
| 10 | RFP Review-Past Performance | Concerning Fast Performance: The prime needs 3 to 5 reports, the sub can have up to 3, and there is not limit to total number of past performance reports? | IAW Section L Para 4.3.5: The offeror is limited to a max of (3) contracts. Subs, joint ventures, etc., are limited to 3 each. |
| 10 | RFP Review-Past Performance | In regards to Relevancy, you stated equal scope and dollar value. How many $4.2B contracts are there or even relevant to this effort in the entire DoD? Other than current incumbent, not sure how to meet this evaluation criteria. | Correct, not many have $4.2B contracts. We are looking for larger dollar value contracts with complex scopes. |
| Miscellaneous | I saw that S&K's contract was modified to increase the contract value. Will this modification have any effect on the PROS V acquisition timeline? Does this modification reduce the chance of PROS IV reaching its cap prior to the end of the contract? | No, the PROS IV total contract value increase has no effect on the PROS V acquisition timeline. Yes, this modification does reduce the chance of PROS IV reaching its cap prior to the end of the contract. | |
| Miscellaneous | My first question is regarding the incumbent contract (Contract#: FA863012D5018), would you be able to confirm the following dates? |
Anticipated Ordering Period Close Date: June 5, 2017 Anticipated Work Completion Date: March 14, 2022
My second question is regarding the anticipated place of performance for the current effort. Is work under the contract anticipated to be performed at a government facility or is that the contractor's responsibility?
| Yes, PROS IV dates are confirmed. Place of Performance is at the discretion of the awardee. Performance will NOT be at a government facility. | |||
| RFP Review-PWS | Can contractor batch process transaction codes? | The USG required more time to provide a response to this question. Response will be posted as soon as possible. | |
| RFP Review-PWS | Can contractor process multiple BD codes? | The USG required more time to provide a response to this question. Response will be posted as soon as possible. | |
| RFP Review-PWS | Can the contractor select multiple AO5 and process BDs or do they have to be managed individually? | The USG required more time to provide a response to this question. Response will be posted as soon as possible. |
