About this file
This document provides responses to industry questions regarding a solicitation for the Global Application Research, Development, Engineering, and Maintenance (GARDEM) program. The Air Force Research Laboratory seeks to award multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts with both cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed price task orders to perform research, development, integration, testing, deployment and maintenance of the GARDEM software toolkit. The toolkit includes applications such as the Web-Enabled Temporal Analysis System Enterprise, Combined Information Data Network Exchange, International Distributed Uniform Reporting Environment, and Runway. The period of performance for the IDIQ contracts is 60 months with an anticipated maximum value of $427 million.

Government Responses to Industry Questions and Comments dated 16 January 2019
FA8750-19-R-0001 1
Draft RFP Section Reference Questions/Comments Government Response All PWS/PWDs and Attachment No. 8 - Cross Reference Matrix
Several PWS requirements are not identified in the Cross Reference Matrix.
Does the Government have a preference for which volume contains the missing PWS sections:
*Basic PWS: 4.2, 4.8, 4.9, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 *F-0001: 4.1, 4.8, 4.9, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14 *F-0002: 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.11 *F-0003: 4.9, 4.10, 4.12. 4.13, 4.15 *F-0004: 4.9, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15
The Cross Reference Matrix has been updated to account for missing paragraphs and will be included in the real RFP.
FA8750-20-F-0002 PWD and Attachment No. 8 - Cross Reference Matrix
In one instance, under TO 0002, 4.16 is cited as belonging in both the Technical and Management volumes.
Should PWS 4.16 of the R&D sample task appear in both the Technical and Management volumes as indicated by Attachment 8, Cross Reference Matrix, or should it appear in only one of those two volumes? If not both, can the Government please let us know where it prefers our response?
In the updated Cross Reference Matrix that will be included in the real RFP, PWD paragraph 4.16 from Order FA8750-20-F-0002 will map to the Technical Volume only.
All PWS/PWDs and Attachment No. 8 - Cross Reference Matrix
For almost all task orders, the PWS section on Configuration Management is requested in the Management volume, although RIK-L009 (c) (1) (v) requests our approach to Configuration Management and Quality Assurance.
Does the Government intend to keep the two responses to configuration management in both the Technical and Management volumes as indicated?
The updated Cross Reference Matrix that will be included in the real RFP, will map all Configuration Management PWD/PWS paragraphs to the Technical Volume only.
Section L - Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors
It is unclear how our response should fit into the outline required by Section L [as provided in RIK-L009 (c)]
Within the outline for the Technical volume provided in RIK-L009 (c), where would the Government like us to include our response to the PWS requirements?
Section L - RIK-L009 paragraph (c) is not a required outline or format proposals are required to follow.
RIK-L009 (c) describes the minimum requirements for each section of the Technical Volume.
PWS/PWD requirements should be addressed in the corresponding Technical and Management Volumes mapped in the updated Cross Reference Matrix - Attachment No. 8 that will be included in the Real RFP.
