Q&A for Solicitation HSCG23-10-R-PUD703 Cape May Tailoring. And Summary of Solicitation Amendment 02 dated 9/8/2010

Questions and Answers (Q&A):

1. Q. Will the billing price per recruit be based on incoming recruits (who get ODU’s with name tapes) or recruits that remain for dress uniforms? Answer: The line item pricing for accession personnel is based on first week company quantity (when ODU uniforms are issued and receive name tapes).

2. Q. Is it acceptable to submit our proposal electronically in .pdf format? The pricing sheets will still be submitted in Excel format. Answer: The pdf format will be allowed so Section L is amended to include pdf format.

3. Q. What,s the current contract price? Answer: The annual ceiling price on the IDIQ contract was $420,000 annually for 5 years but never reached the annual ceiling amount.

4. Q. And how many people work in the store right now? Answer: No response. The incumbent’s manpower solution is private information.

5. Q. I have one question concerning the solicitation do the ODU Coats also get pressed after the Nametapes are sewn on them or not? The solicitation only says seams and hems so I just wanted clarification on that point. Answer: No, the ODU Coats are not pressed.

6. Q. Why is there no task for All Weather Coats? Answer: All weather coats are not covered under this solicitation. TRACEN will buy this service separately.

7. Q. The Accession Personnel Loading Plan totals 4045 (A/D and R) and 255 DEPOT, or a total of 4,300 personnel. However the Tasks Structure and Quantity reflects a total of 4,815 personnel. The PWS says 3,400. Answer: The 4300 is the current load plan but we left room for growth to 4,815. The PWS says 3,400 in the background of summary page and this will be corrected to 4,255 for the estimated annual class size.
