FBO.

35. Would the government consider moving the due date to Monday (11 March 2019 1200EST) to allow time for the corrected PPQ to be distributed and returned on time, giving the customers 2 full weeks. The current PPQ is for another solicitation so industry cannot provide that to our current customers. RFP & PPQ

Amended proposal due date to read 1200 PM on 11 Mar 2019.

36. Will the government allow a statement and submission of the SAM.gov profile in lieu of all section K being submitted? L 2.2.1.1c

All Contractors doing business with the Government must be registered in SAM. Please refer to FAR 4.12 for submission details.

37. Section L Tab F-4 states the requirement of 48 CFR 52.222-17 - No displacement of Qualified Workers. Is it the governments intent to keep the entire current workforce as the current workforce meets all the PWS requirements?

Section L Tab F-4

Offerors must be in compliance with FAR 52.222-17 Non-displacement of Qualified Workers.

38. Section L Tab F-4 states the requirement of 48 CFR 52.222-17 - No displacement of Qualified Workers. Since the current workforce is all SCA employees to include all current key personnel minus the PM. This would mean the current DPM/QC/Contract Team Leaders will fall under this clause. If this is the case then our submission of key personnel resumes and commitment letters would not be required and potentially violate DOL regulation by offering and committing a position to an employee upon award that must be first offered to the incumbent. This would put the awardee in a legal bind and potential DOL penalty by being required to offer the same position to the incumbent and the individual who committed in a letter.

Recommend that the government removes this FAR clause or stipulates that this does not include the key personnel and allow the awarded company to bring in the proposed key personnel at award. Section L Tab F-4

The answer is that the FAR Clause 52.222-17 is a mandatory clause.

The clause notes "Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this clause, there shall be no employment opening under this contract, and the Contractor and any subcontractors shall not offer employment under this contract, to any person prior to having complied fully with this obligation." So, the offeror must give right of first refusal to the previous contractor employees BEFORE he offers the job to another employee. Therefore, for key personnel the offeror should propose the current employee resumes as appropriate and alternatives to demonstrate appropriate staffing. If he can defend not offering the incumbents a job offer, then that burden is on the offeror.

39. Will the government please provide the appropriate DOL Wage Determination used? TE5 Technical Exhibit 5 has been amended.

40. Would the government allow a 45 day phase in period?

This would allow a complete pre course start observation and a full course cycle observation IAW TE7? TE7

The Government has determine that a 30 day phase in allows for adequate observation of two classes.

41. Will the government please provide a fillable DDFM 254 or allow industry to create and submit one with our proposal? DD254

The Government will not provide fillable DD 254. Offeror can submit a Defense Security Service FCL approval letter for your company in lieu of a DD form 254.

42. Will the government please provide a quantity by labor category of the incumbent workforce? This will be required to determine the appropriate 48 CFR 52.222-17 - No displacement of Qualified Workers cost allocations?

Pricing BOE

See question #4.

43. Will the government please provide a by employee breakdown of length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility.

45. There is no CLIN for the required contractor provided equipment and uniforms. Will the government create a CLIN for this or is the expectation to add it into the FFP for instructional services? Section B

See para 4.5.of the PWS.

46. Section M 2.4.1 and M 2.4.5 discusses a 6 month extension period that will be evaluated as the total overall evaluated price. Section L and Section B does not have a reference, CLIN or provide the requirements on if the government wants the submitted price proposal to show this 6 month extension or if the government will be doing this internally and we are just expected to price the CLINs as listed. Will the government please clarify if and how they want industry to show this 6 month extension?

Section B, Section M, Section L

Para 2.4.5 Options: states offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six month extension of services period. This paragraph further how the Government will evaluate.

47. In section L & M it states "d. Explain how the offeror will simultaneously conduct and manage nineteen (19) consecutive day courses which could be taught up to twenty two (24) times per year." Will the government please clarify 22 or 24 courses per year? Page 89 (TAB G - Sub-factor 2: Technical Knowledge of SERE Level C Training)

Section L, Para 2.2.2.3. Tab G has been amended to read twenty-four.

48. Section L: Subfactor 2: Technical Knowledge of SERE Level C Training lists in order: a. SERE b. RAD c. RTL.

The PWS lists SERE, RTL, RAD. For consistency purposes, can we respond as per Section L? Please clarify what order we need to respond to the Section L vs. the PWS. Section L

Please respond to Section L.

49. PWS paragraph 1.6.8.1.12: Vendor to obtain a Facility Clearance and individual clearances at the appropriate level. The Vendor must obtain a Facility Clearance at the appropriate level (IAW the NISPOM DOD 5220.22-M) prior to the start of the contract awarded period of performance.

The contractor shall indicate whether or not he currently has a clearance and at what Level. In addition to each offeror providing verification of its Facility Clearance, each offeror shall also submit a completed DD254 with its offer.

52. Is the SECRET Facility Clearance required prior to contract start date?

The prime shall have finalized Secret FCL at the time of proposal submission. PWS para 1.6.8.1.12 has been amended.

53. Is the SECRET Facility Clearance required at proposal submission? Yes

54. We intend to bid on this effort as a formal Mentor- Protégé Joint Venture. Each member of the JV has a TOP SECRET Facility clearance and therefore each member has a Facility Security Officer (FSO) as well as the ability to hire cleared personnel and maintain them in JPAS/handle Visit Authorization Letters, etc. However, the M-P JV itself, OSG JV, does not have a SECRET facility clearance at this time. Would the OSG JV be considered non-compliant if the entity does not have a facility clearance at time of proposal submission?

See question #52.

55. Background: The paragraph 1.4.1 text states: “The Government requires 29 contract instructors to work in concert with the organic authorized government work force of active duty and government civilian instructors.” Then paragraph 1.6.11.2.1.2 states that the PM will not be used to satisfy the total instructor requirements. This would imply a total of at least 30 contract personnel. Finally, on page 61 in the Technical Exhibit 6 matrix it indicates a total of 29 personnel to include the PM.

Questions: Should paragraph 1.4.1 read ‘…requires 29 contract personnel…’ instead of ‘…requires 29 contract instructors…’? Or is the requirement for 29 contract instructors correct, and thus considering the restriction in paragraph 1.6.11.2.1.2 that the PM cannot satisfy the total instructor requirements, the Technical Exhibit 6 table should indicate 30 total personnel? Page 12 of 98 & 21 of 98 & 61 of 98 (Section 1.4.1 & 1.6.11.2.1.2 & T.E. 6)

See question #32.

56. Background: This paragraph describes the ‘SERE Instructor Expansion CLIN’ that, if exercised, would add an additional 12 instructors to the contract.

Question: Does the Government reserve the right to exercise a fractional portion of this CLIN? In other words, can the Government exercise the CLIN at 25% and expect the contractor to provide 3 SERE Instructors at one-fourth of the Firm Fixed Price cost quote for this CLIN? Or will the Government use the Contractor’s Price Schedule ‘price per instructor per month’ to determine the cost of adding less than the full 12 instructors? Page 12 of 98 (Section 1.4.2)

The Government shall use the Contractor's Price Schedule 'price per instructor per month' for the current year of performance.

57. Background: This paragraph requires all contractors to have a secret clearance prior to reporting for any work.

Question: Given the backlog on processing security clearance, will the government accept an interim secret clearance? Page 15 of 98 (Section 1.6.6)

No

58. Background: This paragraph states: “All Contract instructors must be a graduate of a DOD recognized SERE Level C course of instruction which includes Core Captivity Curriculum and the Directed Communication Model (DCM) IAW references listed in Part 6 of this PWS.

Or, provide documentation of training/certification in Core Captivity Curriculum or the DCM from an accredited DOD SERE course.”

Question: Since SERE Level C graduates must have received training in the Core Captivity Curriculum and the Directed Communication Model, is the required documentation to reflect training in either the Core Captivity Curriculum or the Directed Communication Model or both? Page 20 of 98 (Section 1.6.8.2.8)

SERE Level C graduation certificate from approved DOD SERE Course.

59. Background: These paragraphs refer to all instructors being certified IAW the Special Forces SERE School Instructor Certification Program (ICP). Question: Will the government provide the ICP to enable bidders to accurately estimate personnel certification requirements?

20 of 98 & 21 of 98 & 22 of 98 (Section 1.6.8.2.8, 1.6.11.2.1.2 & 1.6.11.2.2/3/4)

No, this is proprietary information.

60. Background: The paragraph refers the reader to “(*see note Para 1.3.1).” There is no paragraph 1.3.1 in the solicitation.

Question: Is the parenthetical reference in paragraph 5.1 referring to paragraph 1.4.1? Page 31 of 98 (Section 5.1)

Amended PWS para 5.1 to read para 1.4.1.

61. Background: Paragraph 5.4.2 outlines the ISTP format, and development process, specifically identifying ‘Products deemed unsatisfactory for presentation shall be reworked in no more than five days.’ PRS#9 In-Service Training Program (ISTP) lists the Standard as ‘Zero deviation from standard.’

Question: Are ‘reworked products in no more than five days’ counted as a deviation from standard? Page 34 of 98 & 55 of 98 (Section 5.4.2 & Technical Exhibit 1)

Yes, this will be considered a deviation from standard.

62. Background: The DELIVERY INFORMATION itemized for CLIN 0004 lists the Period of Performance (POP) dates as 31-MAY-2018 TO 30-JUN-2018.

Question: Should the CLIN 0004 POP be 31-MAY-2019 to 30-JUN-2019? Page 38 of 98 (Section F CLIN 0004)

CLIN 0004 amended to read 1 Jun to 30 Jun 2019.

63. Background: The text reads “Explain how the offeror will simultaneously conduct and manage nineteen (19) consecutive day courses which could be taught up to twenty two (24) times per year.”

Question: Is the text of ‘up to twenty two’ correct, or is the numeral in parentheses of ‘(24)’ correct for the number of courses per year? Page 89 of 98 (Section L.2.2.2.d)

See question #47.

64. Is there an instructor-to-student ratio? (1.4.2 SERE Instructor Expansion CLIN)

Same student to instructor ratios apply throughout the PWS.

65. Key Personnel are listed as follows: Program Manager (PM), Deputy Program Manager (DPM), Quality Control/Training Manager (QC/TM), and Contract Team Leaders (TL).

Section 1.6.11.1 states that, “The Contractor shall provide a PM who shall be responsible for the performance of the work under this contract. The name of this person, and a DPM, who shall act for the Contractor when the PM is absent, shall be designated in writing to the KO at the post award conference.”

Bullet 2) of Section M, 2.2.2 states, “The Contractor shall provide resumes and letters of commitment of proposed key personnel.”

Question: Is the Contractor required to provide resumes and letters of commitment for the PM, DPM, QC/TM, and TLs within the proposal? This would be seven (7) resumes and letters of commitment total. Or would it be acceptable, in accordance with Section 1.6.11.1 of the PWS, to provide the names of these individuals, their resumes, and letters of commitment at the post award conference? (1.6.11.1 Key Personnel Section M, 2.2.2 Sub-Factor 1: Staffing, Retention, and Management of Personnel, bullet 2)

Yes, Offerors shall provide resumes and letters of commitment of proposed key personnel at the time of proposal submission. See question #27.

66. Both Program Manager (PM) and Contract Manager are used as terms in this section. Are these meant to be separate positions or do both refer to the same position?

(1.6.11.2.1.2 Qualifications of Key Personnel)

See question #28.

67. Section 5.4.2 states, “The ISTP shall consist of formal lesson plans IAW TRADOC Reg 350-70, student hand-outs, visual media, practical exercises, and test and measurement devices. All training materials shall be reviewed and approved by the government.”

Question: Is the Offeror/Contractor responsible for creating and producing the training materials (lesson plans, student hand-outs, visual media, practical exercises, and test and measurement devices? Or is the Government responsible for creating and producing these training materials? (5.4.2 In-Service Training Program (ISTP)

AS stated in the ISTP description, the Offeror is required to produce stated material in order to keep the workforce trained and current on all SERE and PR subjects.

68. What is the difference between Senior Instructors and Junior Instructors? Are the Junior Instructors not required to have the years of experience specified in Section1.6.8.2 Other Qualifications of the PWS? Are the Senior Instructors expected to have more years of experience than specified in Section 1.6.8.2 Other Qualifications of the PWS? Technical Exhibit 6: Estimated Workload Data

All minimum qualifications are required for both Senior and Junior instructors.

69. Section 2.2.3.2 states, “The offeror shall submit a maximum of five (5) and a minimum of three (3) Performance Information Sheets identifying active or completed contracts, either Government or commercial, for each prime, and a maximum of five (5) and a minimum of one (1) Past Performance Information Sheet for each major subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture (“major” is defined as those subcontractors, teaming partners, or joint ventures who are projected to perform 25% or more of the total contract effort). Performance Information Sheets for each contract is limited to five (5) pages.”

Question: Is it five (5) Past Performance references for the prime and five (5) Past Performance references for the subcontractor/teaming partner/joint venture, for a maximum total of ten (10)? (Section L, 2.2.3.2 Past and Present Performance Information Sheets)

See question #1 and reference para 2.2.3.2.

70. Section 1.6.8.2.6 states, “the Contractor shall replace the position or positions vacated with qualified individuals in an expeditious manner, not to exceed 10 days.” Section 1.6.11 states, “The Contractor shall ensure all key personnel terminated or released from employment under this contract are replaced within ten (10) working days of the termination.”

Section 4.6.8 states, “The Contractor shall ensure all key personnel terminated or released from employment under this contract are replaced within ten (10) working days of the termination.”

Question: The PWS states that the Contractor must replace personnel within ten (10) working days of termination. This is a very constrained timeline, considering most working individuals who the Contractor may seek to hire as replacement personnel must submit two weeks’ notice to their current workplaces.

Would the Government extend the replacement hiring period to fifteen (15) business days? What is the deviation from the standard allowable? (1.6.8.2.6 Psychological Evaluations, 1.6.11 Key Personnel, 4.6.8 Key Personnel, Technical Exhibit 2:

Deliverables Schedule)

Key personnel must be replaced within 10 days. Para 1.6.8.2.6. states "If removal is deemed appropriate following adequate Government psychological evaluation and SERE Command Team review, the Contractor shall replace the position or positions vacated with qualified individuals in an expeditious manner, not to exceed 10 days. Removal of Contractor employees under these conditions does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for full satisfactory quality of performance.
