Q&A GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

Question No.

Solicitation Section Comment/Question Government Response

SF 1449

PWS

1 5.0

Qualifications The key personnel requirements listed require the individual requested to have spent at least ten years in some combination of DC CD&I, DC P&R, and MARCORSYSCOM with at least five of those years focused on Law Enforcement initiatives. This severely limits the pool of personnel who could fill this role. Can these requirements be more generic to encourage fair competition with other service subject matter experts? Or allow for other key personnel who have performed similar functions across combat development integration, PPB&E support, and other acquisition program/advocate services but in other capability development areas (e.g. Logistics and Combat Service Support (CSS)?

The solicitation did not require individuals to have at least ten years in some combination of DC CD&I, DC P&R or MARCORSYSCOM.

That is not listed in 5.0 Qualifications.

RFP

2 52.212-1 Addendum "Instructions to Quoters"

Bullet 2.1 references this solicitation as a follow on contract to the current contract, that the projected workload is that of the current workload, and that the current contract is filled by one Full Time Equivalent. It is further recommended that the LCAT for all tasks be that of logistics analyst. This seems to suggest a continuation of the currently contracted effort in scope and manpower in the performances of LE community proponent; yet PWS 2.0 Background indicates the struggles the LE Community and the MCLEP have had for the past several years in accomplishing the objectives of this solicitation.

This includes time the current contract has been in place to solve these challenges. Does the customer want the offeror's best proposal to accomplish the objectives of the PWS, support the CPG and Force Design requirements for the LE community or does the customer merely want a continuation of the current effort?

The information stated in section 2.1 is an overview of the requirement and provides some historical information. The Government only provided a suggested labor category and doesn't restrict quoters to any specific category. The Government expects quoters to provide their best solution to the RFQ addressing all requirements stated in the RFQ in its entirety.

3 52.212-1 Addendum "Instructions to Quoters"

Bullet 5 states that the Technical Volume will include the "Compliance Matrix." This is the only reference to "Compliance Matrix" in the RFP.

Can the customer provide more detail as to what the "Compliance Matrix" reference in Bullet 5 should entail/comprise?

The Compliance Matrix is a cross-reference table that tells quote evaluators where they can find responses to specific Request for Quote (RFQ) requirements.

General 4 Reference

Material Does the Government have any additional information to provide on LE community actions in support of developing structure, or modified or new mission requirements that are under development or arising from Force Design Phase III Working Groups for the contractor understand overall LE community efforts and strategy?

The Government doesn't have additional information. All the requirements and information supporting this effort is articulated within this solicitation.
