Further Request for Information Received:

68) The solicitation states that it will cover work at the 50 United States and its Territories including the Caribbean Islands. Please confirm that the U.S. Territories and Caribbean Islands are:

Puerto Rico Guam Northern Marianas United States Virgin Islands American Samoa

ANSWER: The Government concurs with the US Territories and Caribbean Islands listed above.

69) The solicitation includes the clause at 52.204-14, Service contract Reporting Requirements, which is to be included in solicitations and contracts for services (including construction) that meet or exceed the thresholds at 4.1703, except for indefinite-delivery contracts. Will the Government delete 52.204-14 from the solicitation?

ANSWER: See Amendment Language above.

70) The solicitation incorporates by reference both FAR 52.215-10 Price Reduction for Defective Certified Cost or Pricing Data and 52.215-12 Subcontractor Certified Cost or Pricing Data - however FAR 15.408(b) requires these clauses in solicitations and contracts when it is contemplated that certified cost or pricing data will be required from the contractor or any subcontractor. Since it is anticipated that most task orders pursuant to the IDIQ contract will be made based on adequate price competition, is it the Government's intention that FAR 52.215-10 and FAR 52.215-12 will be operative only in the event that a task order is issued to a contractor on a sole source basis?

ANSWER: The clauses are required in situations of a sole source or only one proposal is received for a task order procurement.

71) The solicitation includes both 52.225-9 - Buy American - Construction Materials and 52.225-11 - Buy American - Construction Materials Under Trade Agreements. Will the Government please confirm that the 52.225-9 will be applicable to task orders that are less than $7,358,000 and 52.225-11 will be applicable to task orders that are expected to be $7,358,000 or more?

ANSWER: Refer to FAR 25.1102 for clause thresholds.

72) The solicitation includes 52.230-2 - Cost Accounting Standards, 52.230-3 - Disclosure and Consistency of Cost Accounting Practices and 52.230-6 Administration of Cost Accounting Standards. These clauses are required unless a contract is exempt from CAS Coverage; per 9903.201-1(18), firm-fixed-price contracts awarded on the basis of adequate price competition without submission of cost or pricing data are exempt from CAS coverage. Since it is anticipated that most task orders pursuant to the IDIQ contract will be made based on adequate price competition, there should be no requirement for certified cost or pricing data. Is it the Government's intention that 52.230-2, 52.230-3 and 52.230-6 will be operative only in the event that a task order is issued to a contractor on a sole source basis?

ANSWER: The clauses are required in situations of a sole source or only one proposal is received for a task order procurement.

73) FAR clause 52.244-2 Subcontracts is only required in fixed price solicitations and contracts in the event of an unpriced contract actions (including unpriced modifications or unpriced delivery orders). Can the Government confirm that this clause would only be applicable to any such unpriced contract actions and NOT to all task orders?

ANSWER: This is correct.

74)Will the Government delete 52.219-28 - Post Award Small Business Program Representations from any resulting contract awarded to a large business?

ANSWER: The clause applies to both small business and “other than”. See 52.219-28, paragraph (f).

75) The solicitation includes 3052.209-73 LIMITATION OF FUTURE CONTRACTING (JUN 2006) indicating that the Contracting Officer has determined that this acquisition may give rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest. However the nature of the conflict was not provided as required in paragraph (b) of the clause. Can the Government please provide a description of the nature of the potential organizational conflict of interest that may result from this acquisition and specifically what future contracting a successful offeror may be prohibited from performing?

ANSWER: The fill-in section of the clause would be filled in at the task order level. An example of a possible organizational conflict of interest would be if the A/E working with the Prime Contractor had been involved in any project planning or specification preparation.

76) We request an extension of two weeks to incorporate all updates from the past two amendments and provide a quality response to this complex RFP.

ANSWER: Proposal Due Date is extended to September 14, 2016.
