ACTIVE DUTY DENTAL PROGRAM (ADDP)

QUESTION AND ANSWER (Q&A) SET #1

1. In reference to Section L Instructions, Paragraph L.4.3. Paper Copies: The font for both CD ROM and paper submissions shall be Times New Roman, not smaller than 12 points; however, smaller fonts on areas of the proposal that will not easily accommodate 12 point font and limited to illustrations, organization charts, supporting data exhibits, report listings, or labels on process flows are permitted as small as 8 point font. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments shall not be submitted. Proposals shall be printed only double-sided, double spaced, with non- duplicative, sequential page numbers at the bottom of each printed page. Double spacing does not apply to the table of contents, illustrations, organization charts, supporting data exhibits, report listings, or labels on process flows. Each page will also include the offeror’s name, and solicitation number.

Question: Please confirm that tables are also exempt from the font and double spacing requirement.

Answer: This is to confirm that tables are also exempt from the font and double spacing requirement.

2. In reference to Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award, Paragraph M.4: Please clarify if the government can assign strengths to a section that will be evaluated on an acceptable/non-acceptable basis. If so, can that strength support the overall color rating of the Subfactor?

Answer: A forthcoming amendment to the Section M will provide further clarification regarding the answer to this question.

3. Schedule B and Exhibit A do not provide the ability to price the CDT codes for each Option Period by specific region(s). The assumption is that this program is only to have one overall pricing region. However, G.2.2 states, “the contractor shall base its invoices for CLIN 1001AA, 2001AA, 3001AA, 4001AA and 5001AA on the fixed CDT prices listed in Exhibit A, CDT Pricing Table and the quantities for each service provided during the billing period, for each region.” Please advise if this program should be priced with one overall region or can the contractor propose multiple regions?

Answer: A forthcoming amendment to Section G.2.2 will delete “for each region” to provide further correction to this administrative error.

4. Regarding Exhibit A, a forthcoming amendment will correct any discrepancies.
