SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. Question: Page 6, Paragraph 2.0 lists several CLINS (0002, 0003, 1002, 1003, 2002, and 2003) that are not listed with CLINS located on pages 3-4 of SF1449. Does the Government desire vendors to only submit pricing for the total price of each year’s period of performance (CLINs 0001, 1001, 2001) or will the Government issue a modification to the solicitation to add additional CLINs to include the ones listed on page 3-4 (CLINs 0002, 0003, 1002, 1003, 2002, and 2003)? If the Government desires for offerors to submit more detailed pricing data for Period of Performance, how would you prefer that to be done?

1. Answer: See updated CLIN structure on the SF1449 schedule and within the performance work statement.

The sub CLINs are informational only. Provide total pricing for each CLIN 0001, 1001, and 2001.

2. Question: The “Price (Services)” section state the requirement to submit pricing data for a six-month extension period. Will the Government be establishing additional CLINs for this extended period? How should offerors submit pricing data for this six-month extension?

2. Answer: No, additional CLINs will not be established in the solicitation for extension. Submit the six-month pricing data along with the pricing data with CLINs 0001, 1001, and 2001. It can be labeled six-month extension in accordance with FAR 52.217-8 and must clearly state it is for the six-month extension.

3. Question: On page 6, Paragraph 4.0, the paragraph references Attachment (1), but no attachment was included with the solicitation. Is it correct to assume that this attachment will be provided at time of contract, vice being issued with the solicitation?

3. Answer: The attachment, DD254, has been added via amendment 0002 to the solicitation and uploaded to Contract Opportunities.

4. Question: On page 6, Paragraph 4.0, must offerors already possess a DoD Secret Facility Clearance (FCL) at time of quote submission?

4. Answer: No, however, DD254 must be submitted with individual’s names that need the clearance. Per paragraph 7.1.1, the contractor’s employees must be able to obtain and maintain the required clearance.

5. Question: We understand offerors are to submit a quote for this solicitation. With the four required factors, it appears this not an RFQ but an RFP. Would the Government concur this is an RFP, not an RFQ?

5. Answer: No, the Government does not concur, this not an RFP, this is a RFQ using simplified acquisition procedures.

6. Question: Can the Government clarify (if the vendor is already registered in SAM) if all Reps and Certs need to be completed with the SF1449 or if only the Reps and Certs listed on page 5 in numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 need to be completed?

6. Answer: The offeror must be registered in SAM to receive award. If the contractor has certified the representations and certifications in their SAM registration, the contractor does not need to complete the representations and certifications listed on page 5 of the solicitation.

7. Question: Can the Government confirm that this is a SCA contract and the SCA Labor Categories/rates offerors must use (15060 and 21210)?

7. Answer: Yes, SCA applies to this requirement. The category rates listed in the solicitation are the categories the Government anticipates will be used; however, the offeror can provide/suggest different categories in their quote.

8. Question: Can the Government provide the number of years the incumbent staff have been working under the current contract?

8. Answer: No, the responsibility to determine qualified candidates and experience is the offeror’s responsibility.

9. Question: For Technical Factor 2, can the Government clarify if referenced past performance from the contractor can be past performance that was performed as a subcontractor?

9. Answer: Technical Factor 2 is for Experience, not past performance. Factor 3 is past performance and past performance as a subcontractor can be submitted with the RFQ.

10. Question: For Technical Factor 2, does referenced past performance have to have been performed only as a prime contractor?

10 Answer: Technical Factor 2 is for Experience, not past performance. Factor 3 is past performance. Past performance sources must be identified and can be submitted with RFQ package for review by the Government.

11. Question: For Technical Factor 2, can the past performance reference be from the Team, Prime and/or principal subcontractors?

11. Answer: Technical Factor 2 is for Experience, not past performance. Factor 3 is past performance. See answer 10.

12. Question: For Factor 3, will Team, (Prime and/or principal subcontractors, past performance/CPARS) be used?

12. Answer: Yes, past performance submitted for review must identify the source(s) used and can be submitted with the RFQ package. Past performance will also be verified within the Performance Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) using the vendor’s CAGE.

13. Question: For Factor 3, if the offerors Team (Prime and/or principal subcontractors), past performance is used, what information does the Government need the offeror/Prime to provide about the Teammates so the Government can search for and review the Teammate CPARS rating?

13. Answer: The vendor’s past performance will be verified within the Performance Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) using the vendor’s CAGE.

14. Question: For Factor 3, if past performance used can have been performed as a subcontractor, since there are no CPARS ratings, what can the offeror provide for Government used in lieu of CPARS so the Government can evaluate it?

14. Answer: The vendor can submit past performance from the prime. The source of the past performance must be identified correctly and submitted with the RFQ package for review by the Government.

15. Question: Paragraph 7.2.1 requires the contractor to have a current account on the RMI website with a DJRS account number. DJRS is web-based and requires a valid CAC card. Can a contracting company acquire this account before the award of the contract without a unit sponsor?

15. Answer: Paragraph 7.2.1 has been updated, “…have a current account or establish an account after contract award.” No, the account cannot to be acquired without a unit sponsor.

16. Question: Paragraph 7.2.1 requires the contractor will maintain records for jumps related to the RMI system.

Who validates the SIR before submitting the report to the chain of command if there is a serious incident?

16. Answer: The Contracting Officer’s Representative will validate the SIR before submitting the reports.

17. Question: Paragraph 7.2.8 the contractor shall support drop zone operations for Jump Master duties, including Primary Jump Master, Assistance Jump Master, Safety, Drop Zone Safety Officer, and Malfunction Officer. Is the contractor issued a hazardous duty order by the unit to perform operations of all duties mentioned?

17. Answer: No, a hazardous duty order will be provided to the contractor. The contractor performing these services will not perform hazard duties.

18. Question: Paragraph 7.5.6 the contract is required to support occasional Recompression Chamber operations as a qualified chamber operator, taking direction from qualified recompression chamber supervisor or the Command Master Diver. How many recompression chambers are on base?

18. Answer: There are two recompression chambers planned for these required services. The Paragraph has been updated to 7.4.6.

19. Question: Throughout the RFQ there are multiple mentions of “The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS)” and based off the recent final Federal Court Findings 03/22/2023 on the use and requirement for contractors to implement the NIST SP 800-171 Assessment and contracting offices to ensure all future awards implement DFARS 213,106-2. Since this is listed as a requirement in the PWS and there is a final Federal Court ruling, will the Government confirm that this is a requirement? Since the Government now can view the contractor SPRS NIST SP 800- 171 submission and approval, we recommend that the Government requires documented proof that the contractor has submitted and been approved Level 1; therefore, meeting the SPRS requirement.

19. Answer: Thank you for the suggestion. The Government will not implement a requirement for vendors to submit documented proof of submission.

20. Question: There is a requirement for the vendor to review DFARS 252.237-7023 (Continuation of Essential Contractor Services) and DFARS 252.237-7024 (Notice of Continuation of Essential Contractor Services). Page 5 states to provide plans described in the provision and clause to be included with the submitted quote, but there is no instruction provided where/location to put this? Will this be counted within the page count?

20. Answer: The contractor can submit the plans in the contractor’s format. DFARS 252.237-7023 and DFARS 252.237-7024 plans must be properly identified. The provision and clause provide the information that must be included in each plan. There is not a page count.

21. Question: Section 7.1.9.1 states, “Travel between sites during regular duty hours is considered inherent to the tasks detailed in the PWS and will not be reimbursed.” Can the Government clarify if there is a distance that is considered local without reimbursement? Should there be a travel reimbursable Travel CLIN for locations outside of that distance? Can the Government detail the number of trips to all locations as this is a FFP contract?

21. Answer: The Place of Performance is in Paragraph 3.0. The radius will be 30 miles. A travel CLIN will not be added to the requirement. Trips between locations (in Paragraph 3.0) are considered local and a number cannot be determined.

22. Question: Is there an incumbent?

22. Answer: Yes.

23. Question: What is the total contract value?

23. Answer: The Government cannot provide an estimate of the value of the contract. It will be similar in scope to the previous contract.

24. Question: What is the incumbent’s period of performance?

24. Answer: The solicitation provides period of performances of a base and two one-year option periods, which are dependent upon award.

25. Question: If there is an incumbent are all the positions currently filled?

25. Answer: The solicitation provides the positions for the current requirement.

26. Question: On page 6 of the SF1449, the period of performance has a different CLIN structure than what is on page 3 and 4 of the SF1449, which CLIN structure is correct?

26. Answer: See Answer 1.

27. Question: Is there a section L – Instructions to Offerors?

27. Answer: No, this procurement follows simplified acquisition procedures. Addenda to 52.212-1 provides Instructions to Offerors. FAR clause 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors is included by reference and listed in the solicitation.

28. Question: The size limit is 2MB, will the Government accept a larger size limit and/or multiple emails, if they are labeled properly (such as 1 of 3 emails)?

28. Answer: Yes, the Government will accept a larger file size; however, the vendor must follow-up to ensure all attachments are received by the contracting office. Yes, the Government will accept multiple emails that are labeled properly.

29. Question: With the 2MB size limit, would the Government consider allowing DoD SAFE drop offs for submission? DoD SAFE drop offs are valid for 14 days after submitted and the vendor can request a DoD SAFE drop off link from the Contracting Officer.

29. Answer: No, the Government will not use DoD SAFE for this solicitation. See Answer 28.

30. Question: On page 27, the solicitation details, “Technical Section: Shall be redacted with no company name.”

Can the Government confirm that no company name should be placed in any part of the Technical Section, to include the cover page and all supporting information within this section?

30. Answer: The Technical Section shall be redacted by the vendor with no company name anywhere within the Technical Section. The company name may only appear on a cover letter, if any, of the Technical Section.

31. Question: On page 29, the solicitation details, “Vendor shall identify (contract number, dates of services, and Government contact information for verification: contracts that is has performed as the prime contractor to demonstrate that it has the corporate experience associated with all requirements of the PWS.” Can the Government confirm that it must be as a prime contractor or can experience as a subcontractor can be used?

31. Answer: Yes, experience as a subcontractor can be used. Technical Factor 2 – Experience states, “Experience by the prime, principal subcontractors, and principal entities (if applicable) will be evaluated on the amount of experience gained and the extent to which the associated efforts are similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity to this solicitation as well as relate to the proposal roles and responsibilities.”

32. Question: There are cases in which CPARS do not exist for contractors. First-tier subcontractors my elect to have past performance ratings by their prime contractors. The rules states, “If the small business elects to use the past performance rating when evaluating the small business’ offer on a prime contract.” With this SBA rule in place, will the Government evaluate past performance questionnaires provided to subcontractors for this acquisition. If PPQs are to be provided, should offerors include them in a separate past performance section?

32. Answer: Yes, past performance questionnaires will be evaluated by the Government. No, a separate section is not required, the past performance questionnaires can be provided with the past performance information.

33. Question: Can the Government confirm Juneteenth is not a federal holiday observed by the base?

33. Answer: Juneteenth is recognized by the Government as a federal holiday.

34. Question: Will the Government provide a pricing/bid sheet, or should the offeror create its own pricing/bid sheet for this quotation?

34. Answer: A separate pricing/bid will not be provided. The SF1449 is to be used and the offeror can create their own price/bid document, but it must include all information required by the SF1449.

35. Question: Is this contract subject to SCA? If it is subject to SCA, what category/title do these positions fall under? If this contract is not subject to SCA, what is the GS equivalent for all positions?

35. Answer: Yes, the category/title the Government anticipates is provided in the solicitation FAR clause 52.222-42, which also provides the equivalent GS position. The vendor can provide/suggest different categories/positions in their submitted RFQ package. Also, see Question 7.
