ID07180027 F-16 TSSC: Questions and Answers - 27 August 2018

47 Paragaraph B.4 What is the intent of the T&M Labor Surge ANG CLINs (CLINs 0003, 1003, 2003, 3003, 4003)?

These are not described elsewhere in the PWS, and the pricing spreadsheet implies that these are to cover 5 additional COMS positions for Option years 1-4. Is this intended to cover surge requirements at existing sites, or additional sites as the remaining devices are delivered over the course of the contract. Are there other intended uses for T&M Surge, such Over and Above modification

It is for additional sites as MTTs are fielded

48 Paragraph C.5 Tables 1a and 1b indicate that there will be three devices that need to be supported at the TSSC location. What is the need for and expected usage of these devices? Are these intended to be SIL/support devices, or will they be used to support other efforts, including training? Are these devices in the same configuration, or are there alternate configurations for the ANG device, and the two AFRC devices?

Yes, the MTTs at Mesa, AZ are SIL/support devices not for training.

The configuration is the same.

49 Paragraph C.50 What is the current cybersecurity status of the systems delivered to date? Have all delivered systems achieved Authority to Operate (ATO), under the Risk Management Framework (RMF)

ATO for fielded sites is in coordination.

50 Paragraph C.109 What is the current OS configuration of the fielded and to-be-fielded devices? Are these currently running under Win10, or are there other versions or types of OS’s in the configuration?

Since there is currently not a clear regulation or requirement for Win10 in the training devices, will the Win10 modification, if ultimately required, be initiated and funded as an ECP to this effort?

Current operating system is non-Windows based, F-16 operating system.

51 Paragraphs C.111 and C.119 This requirement implies a no-cost “extended warranty” for items that do not come with a standard 12-month warranty, and also seems like it should be levied on the MTT device provider, versus the TSSC/COMS support contractor. Since the MTT hardware components (and related spares) are not specified or selected by the TSSC/COMS provider, signing up to no-cost replacement of these items beyond their OEM warranty period does not seem fair or equitable. Please clarify the intent of this requirement, as it applies to the TSSC/COMS contractor.

The offeror will utilize the manufacturer warranty.

52 Paragraph C.119 Beyond transferring OEM warranties for all spares and support equipment purchased under this effort to the Government, are there any additional expectations and intent of these requirements?

Given the requirements precluding proprietary implementations and emphasizing use of COTS (e.g, PWS C.23), we do not expect to fabricate or provide any custom or proprietary support items that would require a direct or separate warranty. Is conveyance of OEM/COTS warranties sufficient to meet this requirement?

No fabrication or custom support items are required to have a separate warranty.

53 Pricing Spreasheet The labor section of spreadsheet lists COMS Personnel and COMS Technical Manager for the ANG FFP CLINs (CLIN series x001) and lists Courseware/Instructor for the AFRC FFP CLINs (CLIN series x002). Does this indicate that COMS personnel are only required at the ANG sites, and that Courseware/Instructor personal are only required at the AFRC sites? Conversely, does this also indicate that COMS are not required at the AFRC sites, and that Courseware/Instructor personnel are not required at the ANG sites?

This question will be answered during phase 2 of the solicitation

54 Paragraph C.129, Table 5, SS-04 PWS Section C.78 infers that other third-party contractors may make modifications to the MTT devices over the course of this program. In these cases, would each thirdparty contractor is held to this same fidelity/ARASQ requirement as part of their modification efforts, and required to SIMCERT the device as part of modification acceptance? If not, there is no guarantee that the TSSC/COMS support contractor will be able to meet the PWS C.129 requirement as currently stated.

Yes

55 Paragraph C.5, Table 1a Have the installed devices been tested and accepted by the Government? If yes, are the installed devices being used for training?

Yes. Yes.

56 Paragraph C.50 Has the current hardware and software baseline been granted a full ATO? Is the ATO under RMF? ATO for fielded sites is in coordination.

57 Paragraph C.63 It is anticipated that at some point in the future, the Contractor will have to relocate the TSSC to the

No

58 Paragraph C.133 Train employees on updated AAJTS program directives and plans. Is there a plan to cross-train programs or is this an error?

This is an error. It should read, "Train employees on updated F-16 MTT program directive and plans."

59 Paragraph C.62 Contractor Manpower Reporting, The Prime contractor has no insight into a subcontractors’ information for labor hours or burn rates. Will this only be required for the prime contractor? Is the burn rate reporting only required on the T&M and not on the FFP portion of this contract?

All contractor labor hours including subcontractor, at all levels/tiers, labor hours required for the performance of services provided under this contract are to be reported via a secure data collection site @ecmra.mil. The burn rate applies only to the T&M portion of the contract.

60 Paragraph C.83 Regarding PWS, Does the Government have procedures or targeted capabilities in mind for periodic SIMCERT of the C-130 MMCT devices?

Will the Government provide a list of the level of open DR’s for each device tested?

This solicitation does not involve the C-130. No F-16 devices have passed a SIMCERT test. The government will provide the list of open DR's.

Are bidders allowed to bid rates that are not in the GSA rate table? Please clarify what is meant by “discounts” for this RFP.

SCA is not applicable to this solicitation.

The clause at 52.222-46 has been removed.

65 Pricing Spreasheet and Paragraph C.65

On the Price Spreadsheets, the COMS Personnel labor category has hours for 8 positions. The PWS states that there shall be one COMS FTE at each of the installed F-16 MTT locations.

Since SCA WDs and Exempt position wage rates usually vary by location, does the Government wish to see additional rows added to the Price Spreadsheet for each location and rate for categories like the COMS Personnel, or is one average rate for the eight (8) COMS Personnel sufficient?

SCA is not applicable to this solicitation.

66 Paragraphs C.132, C.133, C.134 The three PWS Sections references refer to Contract Transition, Initial Program Ramp-up and Transition to Successor tasks to be performed, however neither RFP Section B or the Attachment 1 Pricing Spreadsheets include a CLIN for these tasks.

No

Offerors are not required to fill in prices in Section B.

68 Paragraphs L.11 and M.2.4 The labor section of L.11 states that “hourly quantities of hours for each labor category are provided in the pricing spreadsheet. Offerors may deviate from the proposed labor categories and hourly quantities when providing their total solution price to labor CLINs.” Section M.2.4 states that the “contractor provided rates per hour will be multiplied by the Government provided number of hours per specified labor categories to generate a total labor price per ordering period. With consideration for holidays and vacation provided in an offerors compensation, there are less than 2080 productive labor hours available in a 12-month period of performance. Will the government confirm that the contractor should not deviate from the hours provided in Attachment 1 in order to insure that the government’s evaluation method described in M.2.4. is consistent between offerors?

2080 hours is estimated. The offeror will propose the number of hours to meet PWS requirements.

69 Paragraph L.2 Given that there are only 20 calendar days from the due date of Phase I submission and the due date for Phase II submission, will the government provide the anticipated date for written notification to offerors receiving a “go” for Phase One?
