The initial posting of the synopsis stated the basis for award would be LPTA. After additional review it was determined that best value using the tradeoff process was the best approach. The synopsis was modified and the

RFQ reflected the best value approach.

46. Can we as a company use personal experience as past performance?

Personal experience cannot not be submitted as past performance for the company. Please see 52.212-2

“Evaluation” paragraph 2, under Evaluation Factors. In the case of an quoter without a record, or for whom information on past performance is not available, the quotermay not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

47. QUESTION. Could you explain the rational for the PoP for the CLINS through the entire contract period?

The period of performance and the CLINs are structured to meet the Government’s requirement.

See the response to question 24.

49. QUESTION. Under “Submission of Quote” on page 24 it states: “Technical volume including introduction of company shall not contain company identifying information on any page except the cover page”. Is the government saying that it does not want the company name or any company info referenced in the Introduction of Company nor in the entire technical proposal?

Yes, see response to question 18.

50. QUESTION. Under “Submission of Quote” on page 24 it states: “For the base period and all option periods, the vendor shall provide: The unit price per CLIN and the net amount per CLIN. Additionally, the contractor shall provide the total cost of the base and all option periods.” Does this mean the government does not desire to see cost per labor category nor how the rates were developed?

That is correct. The CLINs for services (0001, 0002 and associated option CLINs) will be firm fixed price (FFP).

The unit price should reflect the total price for all labor categories per month under that CLIN. The total price for each CLIN should reflect the monthly price times the number of months (quantity) in that CLIN.

51. QUESTION. Will the government accept submission of proposal via electronic means? If so, please provide applicable e-mail address for submission.

The Government will not accept submission of quotes via electronic means. FAR clause 52.212-2 has been amended to include all acceptable means of quote submission.

1) Introduction of the company

2) Management Plan

3) Position Descriptions

5) Past Performance references

6) Price.

There is no item 4 listed. Is there an additional item that should be included in the quote, or was the list mis-numbered?

FAR Clause 52.212-2 has been revised to better reflect submission requirements.

53. QUESTION. It appears the following clauses are missing from the solicitation and should be included:

a. FAR 52.228-3 Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Defense Base Act)

The Base Defense Act does not apply to this requirement since it is not a “Public-work” contract. See definition below.

“Public-work contract,” as used in this subpart, means any contract for a fixed improvement or for any other project, fixed or not, for the public use of the United States or its allies, involving construction, alteration, removal, or repair, including projects or operations under service contracts and projects in connection with the national defense or with war activities, dredging, harbor improvements, dams, roadways, and housing, as well as preparatory and ancillary work in connection therewith at the site or on the project.

b. For OCONUS work FAR 52.232.1 Payments

Request this clause be included to allow prime to reimburse subcontractors with fixed price service contracts and allow payment on partial deliveries.

FAR 52.232-1 will not be included in the contract is that is a non-commercial item clause and this RFQ and resulting contract are for commercial items solicited under FAR Part 13.5.

c. FAR 52.246-25 Limitation of Liability – Services

The clause has been added.

d. DFARS 252.225-7040 Contractor Personnel Authorized to Accompany U.S. Armed Forces Deployed Outside the

United States. This clause includes force protection and “generally” includes emergency medical/dental care for all applicable OCONUS locations (not just CENTCOM).

Request this clause be included in case Section 16.0 – Crisis Situation is implemented

The clause has been included in the contract.

e. Please confirm the Government will provide emergency medical/dental care in all OCONUS locations on a reimbursable basis.

The Government will provide required emergency medical/dental care in all OCONUS locations on a reimbursable basis under the travel CLINs.

54. QUESTION. Since this requirement is a small business set aside, is the incumbent contractor CACI Inc. or its subsidiaries allowed to bid on this RFP?

This is a Request for Quote RFQ not an RFP. Any company that meets the small business size standard for NAICS

541614, which is $15,000,000 in annual receipts, is eligible to submit a quote.

55. QUESTION. For the submittal, what are the requirements for font size, page margin size, number of pages?

See response to question 17.

56. QUESTION. Are only two documents required for submittal - the Technical Proposal and the Price Quote?

57. QUESTION Is the Price Quote also subject to the restriction that the company identifying information is to appear only on the cover page?

Yes. See response to question 17

58. QUESTION. It is stated that the company identifying information should appear only on the cover page of the

Technical Volume. Would it be ok to provide the offeror's POC information / email address on the preamble page to follow the Technical Volume Cover Page?

252.225-7040 CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL SUPPORTING U.S. ARMED FORCES DEPLOYED OUTSIDE

THE UNITED STATES (OCT 2015)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Combatant Commander means the commander of a unified or specified combatant command established in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 161.

Contractors authorized to accompany the Force, or CAAF, means contractor personnel, including all tiers of subcontractor personnel, who are authorized to accompany U.S. Armed Forces in applicable operations and have been afforded CAAF status through a letter of authorization. CAAF generally include all U.S.

citizen and third-country national employees not normally residing within the operational area whose area of performance is in the direct vicinity of U.S. Armed Forces and who routinely are collocated with the U.S. Armed

Forces (especially in non-permissive environments). Personnel collocated with

U.S. Armed Forces shall be afforded CAAF status through a letter of authorization. In some cases, Combatant

Commander subordinate commanders may designate mission-essential host nation or local national contractor employees (e.g., interpreters) as CAAF. CAAF includes contractors previously identified as contractors deploying with the U.S. Armed Forces. CAAF status does not apply to contractor personnel in support of applicable operations within the boundaries and territories of the United States.

Designated operational area means a geographic area designated by the combatant commander or subordinate joint force commander for the conduct or support of specified military operations.

Designated reception site means the designated place for the reception, staging, integration, and onward movement of contractors deploying during a contingency. The designated reception site includes assigned joint reception centers and other Service or private reception sites.

Law of war means that part of international law that regulates the conduct of armed hostilities. The law of war encompasses all international law for the conduct of hostilities binding on the United States or its individual citizens, including treaties and international agreements to which the United States is a party, and applicable customary international law.

Non-CAAF means personnel who are not designated as CAAF, such as local national (LN) employees and non-LN employees who are permanent residents in the operational area or third-country nationals not routinely residing with U.S. Armed Forces (and third-country national expatriates who are permanent residents in the operational area) who perform support functions away from the close proximity of, and do not reside with, U.S.

Armed Forces. Government-furnished support to non-CAAF is typically limited to force protection, emergency medical care, and basic human needs (e.g., bottled water, latrine facilities, security, and food when necessary) when performing their jobs in the direct vicinity of U.S. Armed Forces. Non-

CAAF status does not apply to contractor personnel in support of applicable operations within the boundaries and territories of the United States.

Subordinate joint force commander means a sub-unified commander or joint task force commander.

(b) General.

(1) This clause applies to both CAAF and non-CAAF when performing in a designated operational area outside the

United States to support U.S. Armed Forces deployed outside the United States in--

(i) Contingency operations;

(ii) Peace operations, consistent with Joint Publication 3-07.3; or

(iii) Other military operations or military exercises, when designated by the Combatant Commander or as directed by the Secretary of Defense.

(2) Contract performance in support of U.S. Armed Forces deployed outside the United States may require work in dangerous or austere conditions. Except as otherwise provided in the contract, the Contractor accepts the risks associated with required contract performance in such operations.

(3) When authorized in accordance with paragraph (j) of this clause to carry arms for personal protection, Contractor personnel are only authorized to use force for individual self-defense.

(4) Unless immune from host nation jurisdiction by virtue of an international agreement or international law, inappropriate use of force by contractor personnel supporting the U.S. Armed Forces can subject such personnel to

United States or host nation prosecution and civil liability (see paragraphs (d) and (j)(3) of this clause).

(5) Service performed by Contractor personnel subject to this clause is not active duty or service under 38 U.S.C.

106 note.

(c) Support.

(1)(i) The Combatant Commander will develop a security plan for protection of Contractor personnel in locations where there is not sufficient or legitimate civil authority, when the Combatant Commander decides it is in the interests of the Government to provide security because--

(A) The Contractor cannot obtain effective security services;

(B) Effective security services are unavailable at a reasonable cost; or

(C) Threat conditions necessitate security through military means.

(ii) In appropriate cases, the Combatant Commander may provide security through military means, commensurate with the level of security provided DoD civilians.

(2)(i) Generally, CAAF will be afforded emergency medical and dental care if injured while supporting applicable operations. Additionally, non-CAAF employees who are injured while in the vicinity of U.S. Armed Forces will normally receive emergency medical and dental care. Emergency medical and dental care includes medical care situations in which life, limb, or eyesight is jeopardized. Examples of emergency medical and dental care include examination and initial treatment of victims of sexual assault; refills of prescriptions for life-dependent drugs; repair of broken bones, lacerations, infections; and traumatic injuries to the dentition. Hospitalization will be limited to stabilization and short-term medical treatment with an emphasis on return to duty or placement in the patient movement system.

(ii) When the Government provides medical treatment or transportation of Contractor personnel to a selected civilian facility, the Contractor shall ensure that the Government is reimbursed for any costs associated with such treatment or transportation.

(iii) Medical or dental care beyond this standard is not authorized.

(3) Contractor personnel must have a Synchronized Predeployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT)-generated letter of authorization signed by the Contracting Officer in order to process through a deployment center or to travel to, from, or within the designated operational area. The letter of authorization also will identify any additional authorizations, privileges, or Government support that Contractor personnel are entitled to under this contract.

Contractor personnel who are issued a letter of authorization shall carry it with them at all times while deployed.

(4) Unless specified elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor is responsible for all other support required for its personnel engaged in the designated operational area under this contract.

(ii) Provisions of the law of war, as well as any other applicable treaties and international agreements;

(iii) United States regulations, directives, instructions, policies, and procedures; and

(see paragraph (e)(2)(iv) of this clause). Other sexual misconduct may constitute offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Federal law, such as the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act, or host nation laws;

(iii) That the offenses not covered by the Uniform Code of Military Justice may nevertheless have consequences to the contractor employees (see paragraph (h)(1) of this clause).

(4) The Contractor shall report to the appropriate investigative authorities, identified in paragraph (d)(6) of this clause, any alleged offenses under—
