SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 02-Dec-2020 11:00 PM to 02-Dec-2020 11:00 AM.

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. With reference to page 17; REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING. Question: Will the government accept experience equivalent in lieu of a Bachelor’s degree in the event incumbent personnel do not possess the requisite education levels?

Answer: We will revise it to read “ Bachelor’s Degree Desired.”

2. With reference to page 35; Company Experience – Factor 2, “The vendor shall demonstrate experience as a Prime Contractor in performing Aviation Logistics Support in a high tempo environment” Question: Will the government accept legitimate subcontractor experience performing Aviation Logistics Support in a high tempo environment as part of a Best Value solution?

Answer: Please submit your company experience in accordance with Factor 2. It will be evaluated based on Trade Off/Best Value.

3. With reference to page 36; Price Factor 4 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF QUOTES: “Quoters shall submit two (2) copies of technical volume. One (1) Copy shall be a redacted version. Also, one each of past performance and pricing”. Question: Will the government provide specifics regarding what information should be redacted?

Answer: Company identifying information in technical volume must be redacted.

4. With reference to page 36; Past Performance – Factor 3, “For all contracts identified that do not have a CPARS, The vendor shall forward a copy of Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 1) to that contract’s Procuring Contracting Office (PCO), Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO), and Program Manager (PM)” Question: In the case where an Offeror has similar past performance as a subcontractor, will the Government accept a questionnaire from a Prime contractor that includes the contract number and Offeror’s subcontract number on the questionnaire?

Answer: Please refer to Past Performance Factor in RFQ. If you meet the prime subcontractor definition, your prime contractor status entered on the questionnaire and can be verified, yes.

5. With reference to page 37; “Format requirements” Question: Will the government allow tables, resumes, and organizational charts to be in 10 point font, Times New Roman?

Answer: Yes.

6. With reference to page 11 paragraph 3.1 “The complements mixture shall be balanced in a manner to adequately support 22,368 annual hours of Aviation Logistics support.” Question: There are 261 available work days in each Period of Performance vice 260 (base, OPY1, OPY2) which would equate to a full time equivalent man-year of 1872 hours vice 1864 hours, the calculation that the government used in the solicitation to arrive at 22,368 annual hours. Would the government consider revising the calculation to 22,464 hours of annual support or advise how the Offeror should account for the additional workday?

Answer: 2080 hrs./per year – 80 hrs./holidays-80 hrs./leave-56 hrs./sick leave= 1,864 hrs. per employees per year. Annual hours will not be revised.

7. With reference to Section 1449 ITEM NO 0001AA “Support services to entail the (10) labor categories identified in Performance Work Statement Tasks 3.1 through 3.4.3 and 3.6.”, ITEM NO 0002AA “Support services to entail the (2) labor categories identified in Performance Work Statement Tasks 3.5 and 3.6.” and Paragraph 4.0 LABOR DISTRIBUTION / MANAGEMENT AND STAFFING, Table there are inconsistencies, which may adversely affect CLIN pricing. Question: Will the Government clarify if CLIN 0001AA should include 10 FTE vice 10 Labor Categories or should it include 8 FTE; and similarly clarify if CLIN 0002AA should include 4 FTE vice 4 Labor Categories or should it include 2 FTE?

Answer: The 2 System Analyst III positions at MALS-26 and MALS-31 should be under CLIN 0001AA. So the answer to the question is 10 FTEs for CLIN 0001AA and 2 FTEs for CLIN 0002AA.

8. With regards to RFQ, page 38, "Volume 3: Price and Solicitation documents" the government did not provide the same attachment 2 as in the previous 2017 solicitation (see attached), yet Section SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET CLIN 0001AC and 0002AC require overtime rates. Question: Where does the Government want to see these rates captured (i.e. within the narrative of the Cost Volume)?

Answer: Please include them in your Pricing Volume

9. Is there an incumbent currently performing on this effort?

Answer: Yes

10. If there is an incumbent, what is their associated contract number?

Answer: M6700118P0004

11. If there is an incumbent, is the scope of work for their requirement equal to the scope of work for this requirement?

Answer: There are some minor changes

12. If there is an incumbent, does their workforce match the labor distribution proposed in PWS section 4.0?

Answer: There are some minor changes

13. For scheduled travel CLINs, it is noted that "Vendor shall submit travel rates for CONUS and OCONUS with their proposals. Do not price this CLIN. The Government will provide not to exceed amount at the time of award." Can the Government provide clarification on what is to be provided (hourly rates for only travel hours?) if utilization of JTR is required?

Answer: Please provide hourly rate for each labor category as requested for the CLIN

14. Is the only OCONUS location Norway?

15. Is there an Incumbent Contractor, if so, who and what is the incumbent Contract Number?

Answer: Yes. AVMAC LLC. M6700118P0004

16. Factor 2, Company Experience; In addressing experience and identifying contract numbers and dates, can the offeror go beyond the 3-year limit imposed on Factor 3 so as to provided detailed experience on Aviation Logistics for Factor 2.

Answer: Factor 2 and Factor 3 are not the same and each one will be evaluated independently. Please refer to Factor 2 and Factor 3 in the RFQ and follow the instructions.

17. Instructions for Preparation of Quotes: The Government states that one copy of technical volume shall be a

“Redacted Version”. What information or what portion of the volume is to be redacted, please clarify.

Answer: Company identifying information in technical volume must be redacted.

18. Resumes: Are Letters of Commitment required for proposed personnel who are offeror’s current employees?

Answer: Yes.

19. Attachment 1, Past Performance Questionnaires: For Reference Contracts in which CPARS have been issued, can the offeror submit CPARS with the quote in lieu of submitting the questionnaire to the POC, since many POCs are less likely to complete questionnaires once CPARS have been issued on the contract?

Answer: Please follow the instructions for Factor 3.

20. The DD Form 254 (DD254) issued with the RFP identifies the Level of Facility Security Clearance (FCL) in

Block 1.a. as Secret. However, paragraph 9.0 of the RFQ states that those performing Task 6 shall be eligible for a Top Secret (TS) clearance and upgraded to receive a TS-SCI, if requested. Additionally, Block 13 of the DD254 states, “The contractor will need access to … TOP SECRET/SCI information relating to Marine Corps Aviation units and DOD logistics pipelines on a regular basis. Some contractor employees will create, modify, and disseminate information up to and including Top Secret/SCI classification…” Without the requirement for a Top Secret FCL in Block 1.a. of the DD254, neither the prime contractor nor any subcontractors may initiate or hold a TS clearance for employees under this contract. Will the government issue a new DD254 with the TS FCL requirement in Block 1.a. of the DD254?

Answer: Updated DD-254 will be posted

21. Instructions for Preparation of Quotes: Quoters shall submit two (2) copies of technical volume. One (1)

Copy shall be a redacted version. What information is to be redacted from one copy of the technical volume?

Answer: Company identifying information in technical volume must be redacted

22. Paragraph 10.1 of the Performance Work Statement states “Travel expenses incurred by the contractor for the contractor’s employees to reach the embarkation point, MCAS, Cherry Point NC for OCONUS support will be reimbursed by the government under CLIN 0001AB OR 0002AB.” Does this mean that Military Aircraft will be used for OCONUS travel?

Answer: The travel for Norway is commercial air

23. Subfactor C states Submit resumes and any other information for personnel, that demonstrate their experience and qualifications to perform the duties of this contract as stated in the PWS. Page 37 of the RFQ states: All supplemental documentation to the technical proposal, such as foldouts, charts, figures, tables, or resumes, is not included in the 10 page limit and shall be included as an Appendix. Question: Are resumes included as a separate Appendix to Volume I?

Answer: The only resume requirement is for the Project Manager I listed as key personnel. It may be included in the appendix.

24. Paragraph 4.2, Substitution or Addition of Personnel states: “The Contractor agrees to assign to the contract those persons who resumes, personnel data forms, or personnel qualification statements were submitted as required by paragraph 4.0 to fill the requirements of the contract.” The only resume mentioned in Paragraph 4.0 is part of the Labor Category Description for the Project Manager I and it states: “Resume required with quote.” Questions:

a. Is the Project Manager I the only resume to be submitted?

Answer: The only resume requirement is for the Project Manager I listed as key personnel

b. If not, what resumes are required?

c. Can the Government confirm that the Project Manager I is the only Key Labor Category?

d. Can bidders provide personnel qualification statements or personnel data forms in lieu of resumes for non-key personnel as an Appendix to Volume I?

Answer: PQS or resumes are not required for non-key personnel.

25. The Evaluation section for Past Performance – Factor 3 (p. 36 of 76) states: “Only the following entities will be used in the past performance evaluation: (a) the prime contractor; and (b) entities that perform at least 30% of the proposed total price for the contract, also referred to as principal subcontractors and other principal entities” (emphasis added). Question:

a. Can a subcontractor that performs less than 30 percent of the proposed total price for the contract, yet considered critical to its successful performance, be considered a principal entity and therefore be used in the past performance evaluation?

Answer: It may be.

b. Is there any other criteria a subcontractor must meet to be considered a principal entity?

Answer: No

26. Is this a new effort? If not, will the government provide the name of the incumbent and the current contract number?

Answer: No. See Question #15.

27. Can graphs and drawings use font smaller than 12 point, so long as they are clear and legible?

28. Other than as noted in the Evaluation section for Past Performance – Factor 3 (p. 36 of 76) as noted above, is there any limitation on the number of past performance contract references that can be cited by the prime contractor and qualifying subcontractors?

Answer: No. But please follow the instructions provided in the RFQ in order to have your past performance evaluated.

29. Since it states “The contractor shall quote manning and management strategies to meet the performance requirements, but the following distribution of personnel is consistent with existing workload as directed by AC/S ALD and is provided as a point of reference”, is the intent to maintain the 12 FTEs on this contract.

Answer: The intent is to maintain 12 FTEs. I do not see how the job could be done with less, as most positions as laid out in the PWS are one-of-one positions.

30. On Page 3, CLIN 0001 AA states “Support services to entail the (10) labor categories identified in PWS

Tasks 3.1 through 3.4.3 and 3.6 …) On Page 5, CLIN 0002 AA states “Support services to entail the (2) labor categories identified in PWS Tasks 3.5 and 3.6. However, the chart on page 16 identifies the current workload as having (8) FTE’s under CLIN 0001 AA and (4) FTEs under CLIN 0002 AA.

Can you please confirm which configuration you would like us to use for pricing the CLINs?

Answer: The 2 System Analyst III positions at MALS-26 and MALS-31 should be under CLIN 0001AA. So the answer to the question is 10 FTEs for CLIN 0001AA and 2 FTEs for CLIN 0002AA.

31. In the instructions there is no mention as to what content is to be included in Vol II, except for reference to the attachments (the questionnaires). However, the evaluation sections states “For this volume, The vendor shall identify relevant contracts, or those portions of a relevant contract, whose performance is within three years of the proposal due date and contains efforts similar to those efforts (e.g., service, type effort, contract tasks, contract type, contract dollar value, etc.), required by this solicitation.”

Is there a page limit to Volume II Past Performance?

Answer: No. But please follow the instructions provided in the RFQ in order to have your past performance evaluated.

32. Can the Government increase the page limit for Volume I to 20 pages? This will allow offerors to provide expanded explanation as requested by the Government in the areas of understanding, management plan, organization structure, and corporate experience.

Answer: Yes.

33. Is there any page limit to Volume 2: Past Performance? Can offerors provide a brief narrative for the past performance volume?

Answer: Please follow the instructions provided in the RFQ in order to have your past performance evaluated.

34. The requirement to submit all resumes creates an unfair advantage for the current incumbent company performing on this contract. Can the Government remove the requirement for all resumes to be submitted?

35. Given that the due date is right after the Thanksgiving holiday, kindly provide at least a week's extension to the due date for all businesses to provide a technically sound and competitive proposal.

Answer: We do not consider an extension at this time.

36. On the DD 254, it has a requirement for storing Classified material at the Contractor Facility (block 1b).

Can you confirm this is a requirement, we are not local and do not see a requirement for a work location in the area to support this requirement?

Answer: All classified material will be stored on site at 2D MAW. DD254 has been updated

37. Para 9 gives mention that personnel supporting PWS Task 6 shall be eligible for a TS Clearance. Can you confirm that as long as the contractor is eligible for a TS that the government would sponsor the Facility upgrade?

Answer: Government will sponsor the upgrade to TS for eligible contractor. TS facilities are on site at 2D MAW HQ

38. Were any requirements added since the start/award of the original contract that would have affected the annual value of the contract?

Answer: Information regarding to contract administration is not available to the general public.

39. CLIN 0001AC – Overtime rates. This CLIN doesn’t get priced, but asks for us to submit the overtime rate in the Proposal and the pricing volume doesn’t ask for any rates, only FFP. Can you confirm how you wish this to be presented and the historical overtime conducted?

Answer: Please include your overtime rates in your proposal.

The historical overtime is not available.

40. Do you anticipate growth or a shift in the workload for this contract?

41. Since the proposal requires resumes and letters of commitment for all 12 positions, can you confirm there is no opportunity for right of first refusal.

42. If we do not include any information that needs to be redacted, can we submit only 1 technical volume?

43. Do we have to provide all 12 resumes with commitment letters now?

Answer: The only resume requirement is for the Project Manager I listed as key personnel. The Government may give higher consideration if commitment letters or pre-employments agreements are included. Just a reminder, proposals will be evaluated based on trade off/best vlaue.

44. Can the government clarify the labor categories or is the government looking for blended rates?

Answer: Please refer to Performance Work Statement

45. How many days after the award does the government intend to speak with the awardee since the contract starts weeks out after the award?

Answer: The Government will be available same day it’s awarded.

46. There does not appear to be enough information to price CONUS and OCONUS travel. Will the government provide:

a. Destination City/State/Country for each trip.

b. Number of trips per destination per year?

c. Number of contractor personnel per trip?

d. Duration of each trip?

Without this information, it is unclear how pricing might be developed.

Answer: This information is not available at this time. You are not required to price the travel CLINs. Please follow the instructions written in the CLIN and provide rates as requested.
