Amendment 0005

Q&A-5

QUESTION 236:

Reference: L.7.2.4.1.3 Subcontracting Plan states: A total goal of 36.7% is required, expressed as a percentage of total contract value for the CONUS portion of this requirement.

L.7.2.4.1.4 states: Small Business Participation Goal: {20%} of the total work performed in CONUS at the prime contract level, measured cumulatively over the life of the CTSS-III contract.

Question: These goals are conflicting since they are both based on total work performed in CONUS. Can the Government change the requirement for the 36.7% to be based on total subcontracted dollars for CONUS work, which would be realistic in light of the limited opportunity for CONUS subcontracting?

Answer: Section L.7.2.4.1.3 has been revised to be based on total subcontracted dollars.

QUESTION 237:

Reference: Cost/Price 7B question 213 - rows

Question: Given the depth of detail in the “Select SOW Task” dropdown, will the Government please give offerors the ability to add more rows? Alternatively, will the Government please increase the number of rows to at least 70?

Answer: The pricing template has been updated.
