20 Sep 2016 Industry Day Q&As

· Will this be Best Value?

· Yes, best value procurement & tech performance. Haven’t come up with the weighted charts yet.

· How will it be weighted? Will potential vendors have to have prior contracts with similar work? Or can they just have proof they are able to handle the work?

· Evaluation criteria still being developed. This will further explain very clearly what we are looking for.

· Evaluation factors, what will be the high level categories?

· Standard template will be used and modified to incorporate specific information from requirement

· The sooner the requirement can be released, the better. Please don’t release solicitation right before the holidays; hold off until 1 Jan if possible.

· Will be taken into consideration.

· How many FTEs are under the current contract?

· Close to 40.

· Will historical artifacts be used?

· Yes. Currently use CIO-no choice on flexing.

· Do you plan to publish the position categories? Yes.

· Regarding position categories, are you looking for evaluation criteria, resumes of key personnel?

· We will look at resumes for key personnel and experience for all other personnel (no resume req’d)

· What are the work locations?

· Just at WPAFB, on base, HAF, government facility

· 541614

· When will the slides be posted?

· Hopefully by tomorrow

· 26 Sep deadline for questions to be posted

· Will another draft PWS be posted prior to RFP?

· That’s the goal, so you can start building your proposals

· What are the current position descriptions and FTEs per position?

· What are the areas of suggested improvement over the current incumbent/staff’s performance (improved service quality, reducing costs, improving efficiencies, upgrading technologies, etc.)?

· That question is not appropriate nor can it be answered.

· Since very few 8As will have all the required logistics and business process re-engineering experience, may the past performance and capabilities of partners be counted toward these requirements, instead of requiring them of the prime (if so, this will make 8As more competitive)?

· We cannot generalize the experience of every 8a that applies, but we will take into consideration the experience of partners in areas of the evaluation.

· What are the position descriptions and FTEs per position for Key Personnel?

· We have not identified the key personnel for this effort.
