CLARIFICATIONS TO RFP FA9453-09-R-0002 QUESTIONS

1. May the offeror submit each task mission capability proposal in a separate three ring loose-leaf binder given that each task proposal volume will comply with the ITO content requirements of Section 2.2?

· The guidelines for binding and labeling are addressed in ITO paragraph 2.2.7. ITO paragraph 2.2.7 states, “Bind a cover sheet in each book, clearly marked as to volume number, title, copy number, RFP identification, and the offeror's name. The same identifying data should be placed on the spine of each binder.” If more than one binder is used for a particular Volume, the binders should indicate the copy number (e.g., 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3). In addition, see Clarifications to RFP FA9453-09-R-0002 Questions # 2 posted 25 Feb 09.

2. On page 16 of the ITO, Paragraph 6.5.1.c states “Ensure all rate data and estimating factors in the proposal have been submitted for review to the cognizant Defense Contract Audit Agency prior to cost proposal submission.”

What is meant by “rate data and estimating factors”?

Is this just referencing the Offerer’s burden rates or do you intend for the Offerer to submit a full copy of the cost proposal to DCAA prior to submittal of the proposal?

· Forward and disclose any rates used in your cost proposal(s) and any relevant data used in determining those rates to the Cognizant DCAA identified at http://www.dcaa.mil/site_index.htm.

It is to be noted: No additional questions will be addressed if the question pertains to an item that was originally included in the Draft RFP which was posted 8-19 Jan 09.

All interested parties were to submit questions on or before 19 Jan 09, 1700 MST.
