If not, will offerors be informed of this formula in advance of proposal submission?Total Evaluated Price worksheet is not a part of this solicitation.
66. Reference Contractor Pricing Worksheet_080416_Final.xlxs: This file contains a sheet entitled “Summary”. Is the amount to be entered into the Summary column for the base year and each option year to be the sum of all of the Extended Prices for that year?

9Please clarify if there are any page limitations or formatting instructions for proposals submitted in response to this solicitation.Submissions can be Word or PDF
10Would the Government be willing to grant a one-week extension to the due date for the submission of proposals? This would provide prospective offerors sufficient time to complete negotiations with partners and vendors.
11who the incumbent contractor might be and I was looking for the following information: Contractor, Contract number, Award/Expiration dates, total valueIncumbent: MTN Government Services/GS35F-0194U
12Page 3 of 55 – Ku-Bandwidth - The requirement states one of the satellites the government wants access to provides North European coverage located at 1 degrees west. There are 2 satellites in that orbital slot that fits that description, Intelsat 10-02 and THOR-5. Are these the satellite the government would like to access? Secondly the SOW states the teleports must be located in the US however neither satellite located at 1 degrees west can land at a US teleport. Will the US teleport requirement be waved to accommodate 1 degrees west requirement?See revised SOW
13The SOW states that the bandwidth will start out 512Kbps Ship to Shore with options to increase to 1024Kbps Ship to Shore. The SOW doesn’t mention Shore to Ship at all even though you should need it. The pricing sheet does identify bi-directional bandwidth please clarify.See revised SOW
14technical requirements in the bid list satellite specific beams that must be used. Can you open the technical requirement to allow other beams in order to introduce more competition to this bid?See revised SOW
