| 48 | L | Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders | Substantive | No | Reference Question & Answer 14 issued with Amendment 0001 which clarified that provision DFARS 252.216-7002 Alternate A applies. The Government did not modify the Excel spreadsheets except for the Instructions. How are offerors to complete the pricing spreadsheets, as it appears implementing DFARS -7002 may break the links/calculations for the “Pre-Selected FTE” and ultimately the “Total Evaluated Price” worksheets. Based on the DFARS -7002 provision does the Government want us to insert columns in the OY 1-8 worksheets to identify if the rate applies to the Prime or to a subcontractor? | The price matrix (Attachment 3) does not require modification because neither the TEP nor the resultant contract will include more than 1 rate per labor category (for each location/clearance requirement) as outlined in Attachment 3. Reference Section L.3.0, which outlines where offerors are to provide the information required by FAR 52.216-29. Which of the 3 rate structures authorized by 252.216-7002 Alt A offerors elect to propose within Attachment 3, is up to each offeror. For example, if a prime offeror plans to provide the Data Scientist I with S clearance at Camp Lejeune, NC both via subcontract and directly as a prime, then that should be explained in the executive summary IAW Section L.3.0 but only 1 rate input into Attachment 3 based upon the proposed strategy and/or degree of risk assumed. Continuing the example, if the prime rate for that category/location/clearance was $6.00, subcontractor A rate was $2.00 less than prime rate, and subcontractor B rate was $1.00 less than prime rate, some may elect to input the highest rate ($6.00), while others may elect to take on more risk and input the mid or lowest rate for that category. This would be repeated for all labor categories/locations/clearance requirements where more than 1 rate structure would apply. | |
| 49 | L | Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders | Critical | No | Recommend considering waiving the DFARS provision and using just FAR 52.216-29. If that is not doable recommend the Primes submit a sheet with the Prime’s rates, and the Prime will submit a separate sheet for each subcontractor with fully-burdened labor rates by labor category and location. This will result in unfilled cells on the sheets but may make it easier to populate the Pre-Selected FTE and Total Evaluated Price sheets. | Based on the answer outlined in item #48 above, the Government will not pursue a waiver to DFARS 252.216-7002 Alternate A at this time. |
