Sheet1
| Questions | Answers | |
| A | Who is the current Contractor and what is the contract number, expiration date, contract value? | Although there are preceding efforts that are being consolidated in this solicitation, this is not a follow-on contract action. Nexgen Technologies has worked on several National Applications tasks in the past. |
| B | How are these services currently being performed? | The development efforts solicited here will build on technologies that are being consolidated into this Oil and Gas IT Applications IDIQ. The NFLSS is a new development effort and AFMSS is a modernization project on a 20-year-old legacy system. |
| C | Errors in the spreadsheet resulting in "#REF" where cumulative/summations occur and factors which increase the values in the spreadsheets by what appears to be a 3 to 6.1% increase. | A new spreadsheet will be attached to the FBO notice which removes the factors and fixes the summation of the column. |
| D | Is the IDIQ Single or Multiple award? | Multiple award is anticipated. |
| E | What is the approximate size of the IDIQ - Annual and Total? | As stated in the RFP, there are two substantial development efforts that make up initial efforts under this IDIQ. |
| F | Who is the incumbent? | The NFLSS is a new development effort and AFMSS is a modernization project on a 20-year-old legacy system developed by Nexgen Technologies. |
| G | Where is the place of performance? | This information is stated in the RFP and as identified in each task order (onsite and offsite rates required). |
| H | Would you consider extending the due date two weeks to June 15th to allow new Service Providers an opportunity to better respond to the requirements? | Because the questions are being posted after the holiday weekend, the Proposal Due date is extended to June 3, 2015. Actual task order solicitations are expected in July, so further delay is unlikely. |
| I | Will the application need to support geospatial visualization and analysis (GIS) within it or is this being handled outside of the platform? | Both systems anticipate future GIS functionality, but requirements have not yet been established. |
| J | Are there any requirements/restrictions for the IDE, database platform, web server, client side libraries? (There was some mention in the SRS regarding Java experience for the consultants) | All know restrictions are identified in the RFP. Current BLM and DOI technical requirements are those to which the development must adhere. |
| L | Please describe the scope, capabilities, nature and interfaces of" the available spatial applications, and all pertinent surface use stipulations." | Not applicable. At a future date, this will be handled at the task order level. |
| M | Please clarify if the bidders could use any or a specific electronic forms technology. Are all forms pre-approved by OMB or should bidder's build in the time required to get new forms approved by OMB (as much as a year)? | BLM will be responsible for all OMB approval of forms. Bidders should not be concerned with approval time. |
| N | Is it the Government's position that lease sales will continue to be conducted orally or will regulations be changed to allow electronic auctions? Should estimates plan for both? | This information is stated in the RFP. System should anticipate support of both. |
| O | Does the Government want creation of the maps and analysis of the conflicts/concerns to be performed directly in the GIS tool or in the NFLSS system? | Not applicable. At a future date, this will be handled at the task order level. |
| P | Please provide the duration and quantity of "state lease sales" time periods. | All relevant information can be found on the BLM website for lease sales. http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/BLM_Programs/oilandgas/oil_and_gas_lease.html |
| Q | Will NFLSS be the system of record for these monies? If so, would there be any financial and audit requirements imposed on the cost schedule to meet NFLSS being a temporary financial system of record? | No. |
| R | Please describe the scope, capabilities, nature and interfaces of the "existing systems." | Available information is stated in the RFP. These systems are new development efforts and do not currently have interfaces with other systems. |
| S | Does the NFLSS system have an anticipated FISMA security level and a specific Section 508 compliance level requirement? | FISMA security level has not yet been established. Section 508 does not require "compliance levels." However, selectees will be expected to meet all functional performance criteria outlined in Subpart C -- Functional Performance Criteria, § 1194.31 Functional performance criteria of the Section 508 Standards Guide. |
| T | Are the geospatial maps in a Township and Range format? | Not applicable. At a future date, this will be handled at the task order level. |
| U | Can the Web application used for EOI’s also be used to meet the requirement for the “public to enter information in compliance with the eGovernment initiative” | Yes. |
| V | The system that the public will be using for entering information, is it a cloud-based application that is public facing and interfaces with the stand-alone NFLSS system | All system data are entered directly into the systems. Requirements for cloud-based applications have not been established. |
| X | Is the interface to LR2000 used to “validate legal land description, or is it from a Master Title Plat (MTP), or another source | LR2000 is the system of record for all legal land descriptions. |
| Y | Does the BLM consider data migration from existing state office applications to the NFLSS schema as a part of the scope? | No, not at this time. |
| Z | Regarding Attachment 1: IDIQ PWS (Section 2.3 “Support Services”). Can the government provide an architecture diagram or System Requirements Specification for one or more of the representative applications for which support is being requested? | Available information is provided in solicitation. Validating and refining existing system architecture will be a part of development process. The NFLSS SRS has already been provided and the development of the AFMSS system design are part of initial task orders. |
| AA | Regarding the NFLSS SRS (Appendix C “General Information” and Appendix D Section D.3.2 “Identify Initial Stipulations / Notices”). The precondition for D.3.2 indicates the stipulations databases identified in Appendix C will be loaded into the system upon initial release. Is the extract, transform, load (ETL) of this data from the states into the NFLSS system in scope for this order of magnitude estimate? | No, not at this time. |
| AB | Regarding Attachment 1: IDIQ PWS (Section 2.1.6.1 “Security Development Life Cycle”). Are there existing security and / or code scanning tools in place? Will the government specify which tools must be used or will the service provider recommend these tools? | The Bureau uses McAfee as the tool for security scanning. |
| AC | Regarding Attachment 1: IDIQ PWS (Section 2.4 “Development”). Can the government provide a rough estimate of what percentage of existing projects utilize waterfall versus Agile methods? Is it the government’s intent to increase the number of projects utilizing Agile methods during this period of performance? | The Bureau uses both waterfall and agile development based on the needs of each project. |
| AD | Regarding the NFLSS SRS (Section 2.2 “System References”). There is no document number for Plan of Actions & Milestones. Does this indicate this document has not yet been created? If so, can the government provide this document? If not, can the government provide projected or desired release schedules for the NFLSS application? | Vendor development of a release schedule is part of this task. |
| AE | Regarding Attachment 1: IDIQ PWS (Section 2.3 “Support Services”). Item #3 “Service Management” indicates the service provider will help establish an IT Service Management (ITSM) process. Does the government currently use any ITSM tools? If so, can the government provide a list and indicate which ones will be prescribed for use by service providers? | Not applicable at this time. These items define the scope of work that may be completed under this IDIQ. At a future date if these requirements are established, this will be handled at the task order level. |
| AF | Regarding Attachment 1: IDIQ PWS (Section 2.3 “Support Services” and Section 2.4 “Development”). Can the government provide an estimate of what percentage of anticipated task orders issued under this IDIQ will be primarily Operations & Maintenance (O&M) oriented versus Development oriented? | The initial tasks are for new development (NFLSS and AFMSS II). O&M for the AFMSS legacy system will also be part of a task order. |
| AG | Regarding the RFP, Section 5.2.5 page 21, Volume II – Past Performance: Volume II – Past Performance appears to only have instructions and a requirement for three Past Performance Surveys, requiring our clients to complete and send the Exhibit 1 Past Performance Surveys directly to the Contract Specialist by May 27th. What is required to be included in the hard copy (binder)/electronic submission for Volume II? | Nothing is allowed except past performance surveys or information about surveys being submitted. A Volume II may be provided which provides reference, contact info, and executive summary (relevancy information) to the past performance surveys being submitted. |
| AH | Regarding the RFP, Section 6.3.2 “Evaluation Factors: Technical”, can the government clarify what details should be included in the NFLSS Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate (i.e. overall cost, detailed breakdown of labor categories, milestone costs, other)? | Technical proposal content in accordance with the instructions and purpose identified in the solicitation is at the discretion of the Offeror as long as it is within the page limit allowed. The Solicitation stated "develop a high level project and cost schedule with major milestones" with the intent of BLM using this information to "evaluate the offerors understanding of the magnitude of this project". |
| AI | Regarding the RFP, Section 6.3.5 Price: Can the government confirm that pricing should be provided for a total of 54,468 onsite hours and 54,468 offsite hours to include all labor categories provided by the government for each program year? | Pricing should be provided for both the 54,468 onsite and 54,468 off-site for each year as identified in the provided pricing worksheet. |
