Attach J-2 RFP Q&A Template

Atch J-4 Pricing Model.xlsx “READ ME! Instructions” tab states, “Totals and Evaluated Unit Pricing will not be disclosed. The Government will fill in these columns during evaluation.”

The section M and Attach J references listed appear to be in conflict in terms of how the pricing is going to be evaluated.

Does the Government intend to update the Section M language to be consistent with the Atch J-4 Pricing Model Excel workbook, or vice versa?

Section M-2.0 Evaluation Factor 2 and the Atch J-4 Pricing Model.xlsx are not in contradiction. The Government will not disclose the evaluation quantity. However, when the Government receives offerors completed Pricing Model it will select the Evaluated Unit Price that aligns with the evaluation quantity which will then be used to determine the lifecycle cost of the contract by adding the subtotal of all Base Year CLINs and all Option Year CLINs.

Example Only:

Example Government Evaluated Quantity for Year 1: 25,001

KGV-72 Pricing Page Column J: Populated with Vendors Unit Price from the Max Range (25,000+) KGV-72 Pricing Page Column K: Vendors Unit Price for Max Range * 25,001 = Evaluated Total Price for Year 1

Year 1 through all subsequently years will be filled in according to the Evaluated Quantity for each year.

Summary Tab in Pricing Model will then display the total lifecycle cost of the contract in blocks N4 and N5.

What is the intent of this quantity?

· The quantity the Government wishes to procure in each CLIN period?

· An evaluation quantity?

· A ceiling quantity per CLIN period?

The CLIN Section B quantity of 4,625 is an example quantity only in the RFP, the award document will not have specific quantities as it will utilize pricing tables for Delivery Order ordering. There is no limitation on quantities ordered under each of the Section B CLINs. Contract will only be constrained by the contract ceiling amount of $99.9M

Section B: Pages 2 through 6 Atch J-4 appears to include a request for pricing information for a six (6) month extension on the contract. However, Section B does not appear to identify a CLIN for a 6 month extension to the contract.

a) Would the offeror be correct in interpreting the months of the extension are 121-126 for a total contract period of 10 ½ years?

b) Will the Government update the Section B to include this additional CLIN?

a) No

b) No. The “extend option” column has been removed on Atch J-4 Pricing model as this contract is for 10 years only. There are 5 option years for a total contract period of 10 years or 120 months.

“Delivery of quantities shall be 400 a month until order is complete starting 90 days after receipt of order.”

Section B states, “4,625 w/ 90 days ADC”

Section F states, “4,625 w/90 days ADC” Would the Government please define “ADC?” If it is “After Date of Contract,” for CLINs subsequent to the first After Receipt of Order (ARO), ARO may be more appropriate?

Is the offeror correct to interpret the delivery schedule is a minimum of 400 a month until deliveries satisfy the 4,625 units for each CLIN (each period in the contract)?

The delivery schedule will be identified on the individual delivery orders. The 4,625 qty is for administrative purposes only. The final contract will not include quantities on the CLINs. Paragraph 10 of the SOW has been clarified.

For the RFP, ADC is our only option for the contract system we are using. Specific delivery instructions and dates will be outlined in delivery orders.

Base Period (000X) and All Years (100X, 200X, & 300X):

CLIN Description 0001 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Year 1

0002 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Year 2

0003 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Year 3

0004 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Year 4

0005 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Year 5

1001 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Option

Year 1

2001 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Option Year 2

3001 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Option Year 3

4001 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Option Year 4

5001 KGV-72 Type I PIEDs Option Year 5 There seems to be some inconsistency between the opening text and the subsequent CLIN list.

Would the Government please clarify the statement, “Base Period (000x) and All Years (100X, 200X, & 300X),” since the Government identifies the Option Year CLINs as, “1001, 2001, 3001, 4001, & 5001”?

Atch J-3 has been updated

Atch J-1 SOW – pg 5

Item 13 e. Inspection and Acceptance Criteria states Inspection and Acceptance will be performed at FOB Point of Origin Section E and Attach J-1 SOW Item 13 e. appear to be in conflict in terms of Inspection and Acceptance location.

Is it the Government’s intent to have Inspection and Acceptance at Point of Origin?

Yes items will be delivered, inspected, and accepted at the Tobyhanna Army Depot.
