| 1 | Section L | L.1.2.a.5 | Original copies of proposals shall be "placed in a folder similar to the one shown in the picture below:" Will the government be adding a picture of the desired folder in the final RFP? | "place in a folder similar to the one shown in the picture below" was deleted, refer to L.1.2.a. for updated information. |
| 2 | Section L | Table L.1.2 | Page limit for key personnel resumes listed as 2 pages per resume in table L.1.2. Section L.1.3.5.3 Pages Counted states "key personnel resumes (3 pages per resume)." Can the government please clarify the page limits for key personnel resumes? | L.1.3.5.3 corrected to 2 pages. |
| 3 | Section L | L.2.12 and L.2.13 | Section L.2.12 requires a summary of proposed subcontractors, socio-economic status, % of TCV. Should offerors assume that L.2.13 Small Business Commitment Template is the information to add in L.2.12, or is duplicate information required in both sections? | Duplicate Information is not required. L.2.13 states "This attachment will be used by all offerors to document the proposed Small Business Participation required in L.2.12. |
| 4 | Section L | L.2.12 | Section L.2.12 identifies 541715 (R&D) small business size standard as 500 employees. The current size standard is 1000 employees. Please clarify if the size standard for this procurement for 541715 is intended to be 1000 employees. | Corrected. 541715 sized standard is 1,000. |
| 5 | Section L and M | L.3.3.2.1, bullet 6 and M | Small Business Participation is listed as a Section L requirement and Section M technical evaluation critieria. However, the SB information is requested in Volume 1 of the proposal, "Proposal Documentation." Would the government consider moving this evaluation criterion to either proposal documentation volume or the cost volume because the specific criteria requires a discussion of cost which is prohibited in L.5.1 from being included in any sections other than cost? | No, this evaluation criteria will not be moved. L.5.1 states "The Socio-Economic commitment table required by L.12.12 is excepted from this provision and shall be included in Volume I." L.5.1 has been corrected in the RFP to read: "The Socio-Economic Commitment table required by L.2.13 is excepted from this provision and shall be included in Volume I." |
| 6 | Section L | L.5.3.3 | Draft RFP states, "The Government intends to provide property as stated in the GFP Attachment." Will the GFP attachment be provided with the final RFP? | Yes, GFP will be provided in the final RFP. |
| 7 | Section L | L.3.3.2.2 | Would the government consider requiring letters of commitment for all key personnel to reduce personnel risk? | Yes. |
| 8 | Clause | Does the Government anticipate identifying Key Personnel positions to be listed in the Final RFP? Or will it be the Offeror’s responsibility to propose Key Personnel positions? | It is the contractor's responsibility to propose Key Personnel positions. | |
| 9 | L.1.3.5.3 | If the Government anticipates prescribing which positions specific will be designated as Key, can those positions and their corresponding education/experience requirements be released ahead of the final RFP so that non-incumbent offerors have sufficient opportunity to identify qualified Key candidates, allowing for adequate competition? | See questions 8. | |
| 10 | Section K, L.2.12 | Clause 52.204-8 (a) states that The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541990, however L.2.12 states that the O&M NAICS is 541990 and the R&D NAICS is 541715. Can the Government please clarify the use of two different NAICS codes? Is there a primary NAICS code for this contract? | The primary NAICS code is 541990, which is based on the majority of the work effort. | |
| 11 | L.2.12 | L.2.12 states that the O&M NAICS code is 541990 and the R&D NAICS code is 541715. Can the Government please clarify how the small business subcontracting goals are measured against the two different NAICS codes? Are primes expected to achieve the small business percentages within each of the NAICS codes? | Subcontract goals are based on total contract value. | |
| 12 | H.2, 252.209-9002 | Can we assume that since the companies listed in this section may have access to Contractor information, technical data or computer software that may be marked as proprietary or otherwise marked with restrictive legends, that they are considered conflicted and cannot receive a prime award for the DTRA Technical Reachback Support contract? | The ability of any of the listed companies to receive a prime award is government by the terms of their respective existing OCI Mitigation Plans. | |
