KTR QUESTIONS & GOV’T RESPONSES

GOV’T RESPONSE

Secondly, if the question period is still open, I need to register the company in order to post questions. I am on this website: http://www.afcee.lackland.af.mil/contracting/geita11/ but don’t see the information about registering. Can you point me in the right direction.

The question period for the GEITA11 solicitation ended on 05 March 2012. Suggest you take a look at the Request For Proposal (FA8903-12-R-8000) announcement that was posted on FedBizOps on the 24th of February. The AFCEE/GEITA11 website is listed in the RFP.

Page 19 of 34, (d)(1)(e). Please clarify the meaning of “local preference and socioeconomic factors” as it relates to compliance with law and regulation.

Because this effort is a 100% SB set aside and small businesses are not required to comply with subcontracting plan requirements, it is assumed that none of the potential offerors/awardees would have performed previous efforts in compliance with socioeconomic factors. As a result, this PKS-H002 (d)(1)(e) requirement will be revised by removing the wording associated with the “local preference and socioeconomic factors”.

Page 20 of 24, 5.3.1. The section claims that Manufacturing Labor is a possible major cost element. Please explain.

In this particular case, manufacturing labor is an example of the build up for fully burden labor rates.

Page 20 of 24, 5.4.1. It appears that this section is asking for labor rates for the Prime and each Team Member separately. In addition, it appears it is asking for indirect rates from the Prime only. Is this correct?

The prime and all team members are required to complete the rate tables (attachments L-4 and L-5). These attachments allow the primes and teaming members to include the applicable ODCs/subcontracts indirect rate(s).

Page 21 of 24, 5.4.6(b). This section refers to a Technical Approach. What is being referred to here?

Section L, will be revised to delete the last sentence of 5.4.6(b).

An RFP amendment will be issued to delete this sentence.

Attachments L-4 and L-5. Are the provided rates to cover OCONUS work as well? Please consider breaking OCONUS work into separate tables or at least allow an OCONUS premium mark-up.

Attachments L-4 and L-5 are strictly for proposing your CONUS fully burdened labor rates. Due to the different type of adjustments to OCONUS rates, these rates will be proposed and negotiated at the task order level. An RFP amendment will be forthcoming to incorporate changes to Section L, para 5.4.1 and L-4 and L-5.

During the Industry Day in 2010 and in subsequent discussions with the Small Business Office, informal joint ventures were to be allowed on this Solicitation. Please confirm that is still the case.

Yes, an informal joint venture will be allowed. An informal joint venture is a prime contractor and its subcontractor who have entered into a teaming agreement and acknowledged this agreement as an informal joint venture. For the informal joint venture, at a minimum, the teaming agreement must address the names of the parties to the informal joint venture and their respective signatures, a statement that the prime and subcontractor have entered into an informal joint venture, the purpose of the agreement, and the effective dates/performance period of the agreement. The teaming agreement must be submitted with the proposal.

Page 22 of 24, 5.6, Financial Documents. In the case that an informal joint venture is allowed on this solicitation, if a partner in the joint venture will be performing less than 20% of the proposed contract effort, will this partner still be required to provide financial statements?

In an informal joint venture, the teaming subcontractor who is performing less than 20% of the work will not be required to provide financial statements. In a formal joint venture, the joint venture is the prime and will be required to provide financial statements.

Page 16 of 24, 3.7.2, Attachments for the Model contract. The contractor shall provide the following attachments in Section J for the Model Contract:

(b) Attachment #4 – FTP Fully Burdened Labor Rate Tables – Home Office (for prime and all team members)

(c) Attachment #5 – FTP Fully Burdened Labor Rate Tables – Field (for prime and all team members). Section 2.3.4 of Section L (page 10 of 24) states “All pricing information shall be addressed ONLY in the Cost/Price Proposal Volume” and in 5.1.2 “under no circumstances shall cost/price information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.” Please clarify.

All pricing information shall only be submitted in the cost/pricing Volume III as per Section L, para 5.1.2.

If your firm is selected for award, the fully burdened labor rate tables will be incorporated as an attachment into the resulting basic ID/IQ contract.

Section L, para 3.7.2 will be revised to reflect that the L-4 and L-5 attachments are being submitted as part of the cost/price Volume III. The labor rate tables (L-4 and L-5) will be put in the proper format by the government prior to attaching them to the model contract for final contract award.

Page 17 of 24, 4.4, Technical Subfactor 1.1 – Workforce Management Approach. Page limit (page 9 of 24) is 10 pages. Section 4.4 requires a description of internal corporate structures coupled with firm commitments with teaming members, the Program Manager resume, and what looks like a fair amount of detail relating to corporate and organization structure; how staff is hired, training, and maintained; absences and vacancies filled; a total compensation plan and other administrative aspects of this project. The 10 pages allowed seems too limited to address all the requirements outlined in Section L and Section M Evaluation Factors. Please consider increasing the allowable page count.

The allowable page count will change from 10 to 15 pages. An RFP amendment will be forthcoming to change Section L, table 2.2.

XXXX is partner on the 4PAE08: Worldwide Planning, Program, and Design contract with XXX (see below).

Would there be a conflict of interest if we pursued the GEITA11 solicitation with a business partner? We have not received any work on the 4P contract and do not see potential work in the foreseeable future.

In accordance with Section H, OCI clause, you are hereby required to identify and submit a plan for mitigating any known conflict of interest. If you pursue a GEITA award, the OCI clause precludes your firm from obtaining any other AFCEE/AFCESA work. For further details, read and comply with the OCI clauses in the solicitation.

Exclusivity is still in effect. A prime or teaming member can only be can be part of one (1) proposal for this acquisition.

This is 100% small business set-aside without any further social economic sub category set-asides.

This requirement is for issuance of a $950M basic ID/IQ contract.

Yes, an informal joint venture will be allowed. An informal joint venture is a prime contractor and its subcontractor who have entered into a teaming agreement and acknowledged this agreement as an informal joint venture. For the informal joint venture, at a minimum, the teaming agreement must address the names of the parties to the informal joint venture and their respective signatures, a statement that the prime and subcontractor have entered into an informal joint venture, the purpose of the agreement, and the effective dates/performance period of the agreement. The teaming agreement must be submitted with the proposal.

If a large business under the GEITA11 NAICS code 541620 obtains an SBA approved Mentor Protégé Agreement and enters into a Joint Venture with an 8(a) SBA certified minority owned business, will the Joint Venture be considered a small business for the purposes of proposing on the GEITA11 RFP?

13 CFR124.513(b)(3) states that a joint venture between a protégé firm and its approved mentor will be deemed small provided the protégé qualifies as small for the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the procurement and has not reached the dollar limit set forth in 13 CFR124.519. The mentor protégé agreement must be one in the SBA program and must be approved by the SBA prior to submittal of the proposal.

If the answer to the question above is “no”, is there any other Federal Agency that has the authority to approve a Mentor Protégé Agreement which would result in the Joint Venture to be considered a small business for the purposes of the GEITA11 procurement?

The SBA Mentor Protégé program is the only program which allows the mentor and protégé to be deemed as unaffiliated and be classified as a small business. In all other Mentor Protégé programs the LB mentor and SB protégé will be deemed to be affiliated and be classified as other than small.

No. FAR 52.222-41, Service Contract Act does not apply as preponderance of the work is of a professional nature in which the employees would be exempt from the requirement of the Service Contract Act.

Please clarify what is meant by "this requirement"? Are we correct in assuming you are asking us to describe how the "business-type operations" (versus technical) responsibilities will be divided among the team members?

We are looking for a response that encompasses how the offeror’s business operations will meet the technical responsibilities among the team members.

Please clarify what is meant by “highlighted”?

In this case, highlighted means denoted by an asterisk. The seven (7) denoted mission tasks are identified by an asterisk on table L-2a and L-2b. An RFP amendment will be forthcoming to change the word highlighted to denoted.

Please clarify that work efforts submitted on L-3 do not have to have been accomplished while a member of the current team? See accompanying question below.

The work efforts submitted on L-3 do not have to be accomplished while a member of the current team.

It is unclear how submittal of work efforts by individual members of the current team will adequately demonstrate that the OFFEROR (defined in Sec L as the Prime) has executed geographically dispersed simultaneously task orders. Please explain.

At the beginning of Section L, geographic dispersion is defined. The definition of the Offeror will be amended to include “and all named team members”.

In order to meet simultaneously executed task orders, the prime must be able to provide 12 work efforts and five (5) for each team member performing 20% or more of the effort that were executed within the past three (3) years.

Please clarify apparent contradiction with Sec M, para 2.2.1 which says "If the Offeror’s accounting system is deemed unacceptable by DCAA, the matter will be referred to the Small Business Administration (SBA) for final certificate of competency resolution."

If DCAA determines the offeror’s accounting system is unacceptable, the Contracting Officer must comply with FAR Subpart 19.601(c). The Certificate of Competency (COC) program is applicable to all Government acquisitions. A contracting officer shall, upon determining an apparent successful small business offeror to be nonresponsible, refer that small business to the SBA for a possible COC…SBA will provide the final ruling if the accounting system is adequate and provide a COC for resolution.

Please clarify apparent contradiction with Sec M, para 2.2.2 which says "If the Financial Capability Risk Assessment is “unacceptable” the SBA will make a determination of competency and issue a certificate of competency if determined competent."

If DCMA determines the offeror’s financial capability is unacceptable, the Contracting Officer must comply with FAR Subpart 19.601(c). The Certificate of Competency (COC) program is applicable to all Government acquisitions. A contracting officer shall, upon determining an apparent successful small business offeror to be nonresponsible, refer that small business to the SBA for a possible COC…SBA will provide the final ruling if the financial responsibility is adequate and provide a COC for resolution.

Will the Compensation Plan count toward the 10 page limit for Subfactor 1.1?

Yes, the compensation plan does count toward the page limit. The allowable page count will change from 10 to 15 pages. An RFP amendment will be forthcoming to change Section L, table 2.2.

Is every team member required to submit labor rates? Is there a minimum number of labor categories that a team member must submit labor rates for?

Prime and every team member (propose to perform 20% or more of the work) must submit labor rates in accordance with para 5.4.1.

Yes, a team member must as a minimum provide at least one (1) labor rate.

For geographically dispersed corporate experience presented in L-3, is it acceptable for a contractor to submit multiple work efforts for work that has a different task order number but is a continuation of work listed under earlier TOs?

Yes, a work effort for continuation of work with a different task order number will be accepted for geographically dispersed corporate experience.

“…TO RFP selection approach…” and (d) “Contractor selection may be based on an assessment of the below factors or other factors, as determined by the CO, and as tailored to the acquisition:”

With regard to the narrative shown in paragraphs (c) (6) and (d), will the basis for prime contractor selection at the task order level be based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable or Best Value with Full Trade Off?

In accordance with FAR Subpart 15.100, the Contracting Officer will determine at the task order level, the acquisition process and techniques (i.e. PPT, Full Trade Off, LPTA) used to design competitive acquisition strategies suitable for the specific circumstances of the acquisition.

“…TO RFP selection approach…” and (d) “Contractor selection may be based on an assessment of the below factors or other factors, as determined by the CO, and as tailored to the acquisition:”

Will the basis for prime contractor selection at the task order level vary based on the contract type (e.g., LPTA or Best Value with Full Trade Off)? If yes, please disclose the method for selection associated with each contract type.

In accordance with FAR Subpart 15.100, the Contracting Officer will determine at the task order level, the acquisition process and techniques (i.e. PPT, Full Trade Off, LPTA) used to design competitive acquisition strategies suitable for the specific circumstances of the acquisition.

"The Offeror shall provide the last three (3) years of financial statements, and year-to-date financial information through the last quarter available. If audited, reviewed, compiled or certified financial statements are available, these shall be submitted."

Is the Offeror required to submit FY2011 financial statements if they have not been certified nor audited by an independent auditing firm? Please clarify what is meant by "year-to-date financial information"?

In accordance with DFARs 232.072-2(b)(1) through (b)(10), the contractor is still required to provide the last three (3) years of financial statements whether or not they are audited, reviewed, complied or certified. The year to date information is based on the entities fiscal year.

IAW FAR 16.306(d), there exists two forms of Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract types “term” and “completion”. Which form of Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract type does the government intend to use at the task order level term or completion?

IAW FAR Subpart 16.306(d), the Government intends to use the completion form for the majority of the task orders. However, there may be some circumstances that will require the use of the term form.

Step 2 should be column “K” in lieu of “L” of the Home Office tab.

An RFP amendment will be forthcoming to change L-6.

In the Pricing Model instructions, the reference to attachment 10 will be changed to attachments L-4 and L-5.

An RFP amendment will be forthcoming to incorporate the required change.

A facility clearance is a requirement for this acquisition however an offeror is not required to have one in place for the award of the basic contract. Immediately upon award of the basic contract, AFCEE will sponsor each prime contractor and they will be required to obtain a facility clearance if they do not already have one.

No, the general instruction is only general information and the requirements for submittal are covered in paragraphs c, d, e and f; paragraph 5.0 – Volume III – Factor 2: Cost/Price.

No. The volume organization tab will consist of a table of contents for the entire volume.

The intent of this requirement is for Offerors to identify significant teaming partners, based on mission requirements identified in the basic ID/IQ Performance Work Statement. The 20% is applicable to the basic contract.

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) will change to 20 business days to match what the CDRLs and Service Summary states. An amendment to the RFP will be forthcoming to reflect the change in the PWS.

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) will be changed to add approximately to paragraph 5.2.6. An amendment to the RFP will be forthcoming to reflect the change in the PWS.

The labor rate table will be included and become part of the contract, as identified in Section J.

Correct. Attachment #5 will be corrected to read: FFP Fully Burdened Labor Rate Tables – Field (For Prime and all Team Members). An RFP amendment will be forthcoming to incorporate the required change.

All pricing information shall only be submitted in the cost/pricing Volume III as per Section L, para 5.1.2.

Section L, para 3.7.2 will be revised to reflect that the L-4 and L-5 attachments are being submitted as part of the cost/price Volume III. The labor rate tables (L-4 and L-5) will be put in the proper format by the government prior to attaching them to the model contract for final contract award.

An RFP amendment will be issued to correct Section L, para 3.7.2

A separate spreadsheet (L-4 and L-5) will be required to be completed by the prime and each teaming member.

On the offeror’s name block insert the appropriate name of the entity completing the spreadsheet.

If the entity has applicable indirect ODC/subcontract rate(s) in accordance with their approved accounting system, that rate should be inserted into the spreadsheet.

The rate(s) cannot be marked not applicable. If the entity does not have a ODC/subcontract rate(s) leave cell as a zero percentage rate.

Yes, this information can be provided along with the prime’s proposal in a sealed envelope to the contracting officer.

In the Pricing Model instructions, the reference to attachment 10 will be change to attachments L-4 and L-5.

Step 2 should be column “K” in lieu of “L” of the Home Office tab.

An RFP amendment will be forthcoming to change L-6.

a. The teaming arrangements/letters of intent are not counted against the 10-page limit.

b. The program manager resume is counted within the 10 page limit.

A. True. The TAs/LOIs are not counted against the page limitation.

B. True. The resume is counted against the page limitation for the Workforce Management Approach. The page limit will be change to 15.

An RFP amendment will be issued to incorporate this change.

The workforce management plan should include information that talks to your approach for accomplishing the requirements of the RFP. For this criterion, the pricing information will be pulled from the complementary pricing volume.

Whether the JV is populated or not makes no difference in the evaluation of the proposal. The proposal must meet all requirements of the RFP. The new rules for joint ventures are specific to the 8(a) business development program and 8(a) set-aside contracts. The SBA rules for 8(a) joint ventures do not apply to this acquisition as it is 100% small business set-aside and not an 8(a) set-aside. However, the new rules for the SBA mentor protégé program say in order to receive exclusion from affiliation on any non-8(a) contracts, the joint venture agreement must comply with the 8(a) joint venture requirements (other than SBA approval of the joint venture agreement). With that said, it is highly recommended that the joint venture follows the new rule and ensures that the mentor, or any of its affiliates, is not used as a subcontractor to the joint venture. The SBA will not review and approve the formal joint venture agreement as this is not an 8(a) set-aside. But keep in mind that the SBA reserves the right to inspect the joint venture agreement at any time and the joint venture will want to be compliant with the SBA rules or risk being found to be affiliated and classified as other than small.

Printable area of foldouts should be no larger than 9 X 15 -½ inches regardless of margin.

Attachments L-8 and L-9 have been posted on the GEITA11 website (http://www.afcee.lackland.af.mil/contracting/geita11/default.asp). Please revisit the website and download the forms and forward a completed document to the GEITA11 email address at afcee.geita11@us.af.mil.

Facility clearances will be required for task orders which require a Contract Security Classification Specification (DD254).

C003 is a list of documents that will be incorporated as attachments into the basic ID/IQ contract.

The proposed fully burdened FFP labor rates will be incorporated in the basic ID/IQ contract and will be considered as the maximum allowable rate(s) at the task order level.

For a competitive FFP task order (TO), the government will only require a total price. However, on a single source Firm Fixed Price or Cost Plus Fixed Fee task order, the government will require offer to propose individual labor rates, as awarded under the contract.

For a competitive cost type requirement, the government will require additional information to determine cost realism.

Yes. Any billable hours need to be included for administrative and PM and or other applicable labor in the FFP Fully Burden labor rates for Home and Field offices.

No other labor categories other than those 12 labor categories listed on L-4 and L-5 are allowed.

Only 18 offerors will be selected for evaluation in Step 2, unless after evaluation of the initial 18 lowest proposals, there is insufficient awardable number of proposals to meet the government’s minimum capacity/capability requirements.

No. In step 1, the government will perform an initial assessment of the initially proposed overall TEP of the…
