Task 5, C.4.5 Shared Services Platforms.
Can the Government clarify what ALM is?

Government Response: ALM is Application Lifecycle Management.

L.7.2 – Factor 2 Past Performance.
Given the short time between RFP release and submission date, we assume that the most recent CPARS report is acceptable, in lieu of getting the customer to fill in the “Performance Evaluation” section of Attachment G?

Government Response: CPARS are acceptable. Section L.7.2 has been revised to allow for either the Past Performance Questionnaires or completed CPARS.

10
L.6. Submission of the Written Price Proposal – “NOTE: No Assumptions, Conditions, Exceptions are permitted. All responses containing Assumptions, Conditions, or Exceptions will be rejected and be ineligible for award.”
Given the open ended nature of some of the requirements, and the fact that the contract is a Firm Fixed Price Contract, can the government explain how it will evaluate price reasonableness if there are no assumptions allowed?

Government Response: Price reasonableness will be determined based on analysis conducted of information provided under L.6 Tabs B and C.

Will the Government be granting an extension to the due date? We request 1 week past the release of answers to questions

Government Response: Tabs A and D can be submitted in PDF format and tabs B and C can be submitted in Excel format. There is no TAB E.

13
I'd like to inquire whether a contractor performed similar work to this for the government in the past. If so, could you provide the incumbent contract number? If you are unable to provide a contract number, is it safe to assume this is a new requirement for the government?

Government Response: Please refer to Question #1 response.
