Q# Solicitation/ Attachment Subject

Page #, Paragraph Reference Question / Comment Response/Document Edits

1 Pricing Does the Government have a preferred format for BOEs within the Price Narrative? While the Government is flexible in terms of the format of the submission, Offerors are cautioned that as a part of the Realism evaluation, the Government will compare the quantities entered in Atch 4.7, along with any BOEs to the technical proposal to ensure the Offeror has demonstrated an understanding of the work to be performed.

2 Pricing Atch 4.7 Attachment 4.7 does not appear to have a dedicated place for fee/profit. Does the Government have a preference of how this is broken out or built into the inputs?

The Government has amended Atch 4.7 to include an additional column within tab 'Labor Categories' for Offerors to include their profit/fee.

3 Pricing What level of detail is required from subcontractors for the cost proposal? In lieu of certified pricing data being required, does the Government want them to submit unsanitized cost proposals at the same time as the prime contractors?

The Government requests Offerors notate instances where the labor category would be performed by a subcontractor.

Further, the unit price displayed should include the subcontractor's fully burdened labor rates plus any additive rate on behalf of the prime so that the total unit price reflects the combined price. Atch 4 Section L has been amended to reflect this instruction.

4 Are there expected end dates for the System Requirements Review as well as the various PDRs and PDR Reporting that we should use for proposal purposes?

Kick-off Meeting ~10 Days ARO SRR ~30 Days ARO PDR ~6 Months after SRR CDR ~9 months after PDR

5 Site Visit Cover Letter I'm assuming that you intend that to be three persons per team. We may have representatives from four of five companies on our team interested in attending. But I think your intent is that only three persons from our Corvid Team can go on the site visit. Is that interpretation correct?

We are utilizing buses from Base Transportation to take everyone through WSMR and to the site. Space is limited, therefore we are limiting companies to 6 persons per team.

6 Site Visit Cover Letter I read paragraph 7 as there is not a limit on the number of attendees for the Holloman portion of the trip. Is this correct? If it is correct, do you have any info on what will be discussed during the Holloman portion? The reason that I'm asking is that if we have 4 or 5 team members who would like to attend, but only 3 can go to WSMR, it would be good to know if it's worth their time, or if we should just limit ourselves to 3 for the entire trip.

Yes, we are using a bus to transport folks to and from the site. The bus has limited seating. The point of the trip to the test site is to show vendors where the system will be located in reference to other buildings, show them the current condition of the buildings we intend to reutilize, and get a good understanding of the distance between main base and the test site. The technical details will be discussed during the presentations.

Site Visit Is the agenda for Feb 26 set well enough to know when you expect to finish? We are working on arranging travel. If it's a full day, we'll arrange accommodations for that night and fly home on Friday, but if the plan is for only a half day, we may be able to fly home that evening. Either way is great, just wanted to ask before we lock anything in.

Industry Day will now conclude 25 February.
