a) Attachment 10 - Non-SCA Exempt Incumbent Employees Length of Service: This attachment provides the list of incumbent employees and their seniority.

b) Solicitation Section E.2.1.2, Factor 1, Sub-factor a. This section requires offerors to “Provide resumes only for Supervisory/Key Personnel and Lead Craftsmen listed”

c) The fact that, historically, there have only been 2 bidders on this opportunity

The inclusion of the incumbent employee list implies that offerors should include the seniority cost in their staffing estimate. The requirement for offerors to provide resumes for supervisory personnel provides the incumbent contractor with an unfair competitive advantage because non-incumbents will be forced to propose non-incumbent personnel that will not align with the seniority list pricing.

i. To ensure a fair and equitable competition, will the Government consider removing the requirement for offerors to provide resumes for Supervisory/Key Personnel and Lead Craftsmen?

i. Response: The solicitation has been amended to include an updated list of Key Personnel under section C.2.2.2 Contractor Personnel.

ii. Due to the amount of lead positions on the seniority list, would the government consider issuing a three (3) week extension to provide offerors with ample time to recruit for these positions?

i. Response: No, see amended solicitation to include updated list of Key Personnel.
