SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The following are the questions that were asked by the interested vendors and answered by the technical point of contact for the requisition:

Question 1: Can a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Joint Venture (JV) be used for this solicitation?

Answer: The Government will accept one Prime Contractor.

Question 2: If a WOSB JV can be used, does the JV need to have the Prime Past Performance or can the Prime Work come from one of the members of the JV?

Answer: The Government will need the Prime’s past performance.

Question 3: Is there an incumbent to this solicitation? If so, would you please provide the name and the awarded amount?

Answer: There is not an incumbent for this requirement. This is a new requirement.

Question 4: Would you also provide the wage determination for the place of performance if applicable?

Answer: The Wage Determination for Onslow County, NC (Wage Determination 2015-4389, Revision Number 26 dated 15 May 2024) can be found on SAM.gov.

Question 5: "Technical Section: Shall be redacted with no company name." If offerors redact

Technical Factors 1, 2, and 3 in accordance with solicitation requirements, but Factor 4 is not redacted, the purpose of redaction will be defeated, as source selection will then know who submitted the proposal. Could the Government please review the requirements?

Answer: The Customer/Technical Evaluator will be evaluating Technical Factors 1, 2, and 3 in accordance with solicitation requirements. The Contracting Officer evaluates Factor 4:

Past Performance and Factor 5: Price information. Therefore, the purpose of redaction will be not defeated. The solicitation will not change.

Question 6: "Past Performance: to be created by the Contract Specialist" Could the Government please clarify?

Answer: This is a typographical error. Past Performance will be researched by the Contract

Specialist using the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). The Government may consider other past performance data from a wide variety of sources both inside and outside of the Federal Government in accordance with FAR

Question 7: "There is no page limitation." Could the Government please confirm that page limits do not exist for any proposal response volumes Technical Factor 1, 2, 3, and Factor 4.

Answer: There is no page limitation.

Question 8: "Contract Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs) and Questionnaires will be the primary customer feedback data used to evaluate the vendor’s past performance." No questionnaire was provided to industry to provide to past performance contacts for completion. Can the Government please identify how questionnaires will be received?

Answer: The Government will correct this statement in an amendment. Questionnaires will not be used.

Question 9: "The Past Performance Information Reporting System (PPIRS) will be the primary paperless method used to retrieve the CPARS for this source selection." on Pg. 37 directly conflicts with "Past Performance: The Supplier Performance Risk System

(SPRS) will be used to obtain Past Performance on Quoters. The Government may consider other past performance data from a wide variety of sources both inside and outside of the Federal Government." on Pg. 7. Could the Government please clarify which is correct?

Answer: This is a typographic error. The Government will correct this statement in an amendment.

Question 10: The solicitation states "Price and Solicitation Documents" under the 4th bullet, however, Pg. 37 "Factor 5 - Price" does not address anything about solicitation documents. Could the Government please clarify if they would like solicitation documents as part of this volume and if so, which solicitation documents shall offerors include?

Answer: The Vendor must sign and complete blocks 30a, 30b, and 30c, as well as provide pricing for the Base Year and all Option CLINs. A copy of signed amendments must also be included.

Question 11: Could the Government please confirm the following format for Proposal volumes:

Volume I, Technical - Technical Factor 1, Technical Factor 2, Technical Factor 3

Volume 2, Past Performance - Factor 4 Past Performance

Volume 3, Price - Factor 5, Price and Solicitation Documents

Answer: The format above is acceptable for quotes to be submitted to the Government.

Question 12: The solicitation states "within the time for acceptance specified in the offer". Could the

Government please provide the required period of proposal validity?

Answer: The proposal pricing should be valid for 30 days.

Question 13: 3.23 on Pg. 12 states "The final FTR is due NLT 45 days prior to the last date of the TO’s

PoP." However, 7.2 FTR on Pg. 20 states "First report due halfway through PoP; final report due NLT 45 days prior to last date of PoP". Understanding this is not an IDIQ with

Task Orders (TOs) associated to it, would the Government please clarify what is meant by "TO" in 3.23?

Answer: The Government will correct the Performance Work Statement to clarify the final report and remove the term Task Order (TOs).

Question 14: Technical Factor 3 - Experience states "Vendor shall have current hands-on experience with Department of Defense (DoD) organizational, facility support services. " However, facility support services are not included in the Performance Work Statement in any capacity. Would the Government please clarify on what they would like offerors to respond to in terms of experience, if the current experience response requirement is not a

Performance Work Statement requirement?

Answer: The Government will correct this statement to include DMO facility support services.

Question 15: 5.0 Staffing states "The Government recommends the following minimum qualifications" but 5.1 is titled "Performance Requirements" with qualifications, implying that these requirements are required, not recommended. Would the Government please clarify if the listed requirements in 5.1 are REQUIRED minimum requirements or RECOMMENDED minimum requirements?

Answer: Listed in 5.1 are the skills and abilities Contractor employees must have.

The Government will amend the Performance Work Statement.

Question 16: Understanding that Technical Volume (including Technical Factors 1, 2, and 3) are to be redacted, but contract numbers are to be provided, could the Government please clarify the difference between the redacted Technical Factor 3 and the unredacted past performance volume?

Answer: The Government requires the Technical Factors be redacted and the past performance unredacted.

Question 17: "Upon contract award (estimated award date of 1 September 2024), there will be a transition period of 10 days." Could the Government please clarify what is meant by transition in this context? If there is no incumbent Contractor, what does the Government mean in terms of "transition"?

Answer: The Government will change transition period to time allowed for the Contractor to be staffed at 100% for the award contract.

Question 18: "Upon contract award (estimated award date of 1 September 2024), there will be a transition period of 10 days. The Modernization Planning Support (Key Personnel) and one Contractor employee will start the day after award. The day after the end of the transition period, the awardee shall have 100% of proposed personnel on hand." This requirement means that WOSB's are expected to carry personnel on overhead to have available the day after award. This is challenging for WOSB's, as most WOSB's do not have the financial resources to carry personnel with these capabilities, available to be day-1 ready, to support a requirement that is being competed. To not have the financial responsibility of carrying personnel on overhead with the potential of not being awarded, the successful offeror would require a minimum 2 weeks to allow contingent personnel the ability to submit 2-weeks notices with their current employer.

Answer: The Contractor shall have one Key Personnel and one staff member available the day of award. The Contractor will determine the number of other staff required to be 100% staffed by the 10th day.

Question 19: Could the Government please clarify which requirements within 5.1.1 - 5.1.12 are applicable to which positions provided in 5.0 Staffing?

Answer: The staffing in 5.0 and 5.1.1 - 5.1.12 is the Government’s recommended labor category positions to complete the services required by the Performance Work Statement. The

Quoter determines a recommended number and category of Contractor positions.

Question 20: Is Project Management Plan (PMP) certification with a year experience working project management efforts in support of the Government required by each position listed in 5.0

Staffing?

Answer: The Government recommends one full time equivalent position with a PmP certification

Key Personnel with a year experience working project management efforts in support of the Government services in the Performance Work Statement.

Question 21: Could the Government please identify how many personnel are expected to participate in each travel event?

Answer: The Government estimates and recommends two Contractor employees completing task in the Performance Work Statement will need to be capable of traveling. The

Government will update the Travel CLIN Long Description with the recommended two

Contractor employees.

Question 22: Understanding there is extensive travel expected as part of this effort, would the

Government, please provide a travel plug number for offerors to incorporate as part of their pricing?

Answer: There is not a travel plug number provided in advance of the award contract.

Question 23: Would the Government consider CLINs 0002, 1002, 2002, 3002, and 4002 being Cost

Reimbursable vs. FFP?

Answer: No. The awarded contract will be a Firm-Fixed Price contract.

Question 24: For Factor 5 - Price, is the Government only requesting offerors to provide a populated "Section SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET" (typically referred to as

Schedule B)?

Answer: The Quoter can provide pricing within the Section SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET for the Base Year and each Option CLIN.

Question 25: Would the Government like Offerors to provide a price narrative as part of their proposal?

Answer: No. The Government does not require a price narrative.

Question 26: Some of the tasks identified in 3.0 are not tasks (e.g., 3.1, 3.4, 3.5) and would be better suited as "general requirements" vs. requiring responses. Would the Government consider reviewing 3.0 scope/tasks and realigning them based on general/specific tasks and general requirements?

Answer: The Government will not consider realigning the services task in 3.0.

Question 27: "The Government will determine the format on a task-by-task basis." Understanding this is not an IDIQ with Task Orders associated to it, would the Government please clarify what is meant by task-by-task basis?

Answer: The Government will determine the formats for deliverable service task required by the

Performance Work Statement. Task-by-task are service tasks to be performed to meet the objectives of the Performance Work Statement. This is in no way associated with the term

Task Order.

Question 28: "Produced under this Performance Work Statement and/or Task Order must"

Understanding this is not an IDIQ with Task Orders associated to it, would the

Government please clarify what is meant by "and/or task order”?

Answer: The Government will amend the Performance Work Statement to remove the term “Task

Order”. This is in no way associated with the term Task Order.

Question 29: How many legacy processes and procedures currently exist, and how many new processes and procedures are anticipated?

Answer: The list of new/legacy processes and procedures would be subjective. The Distribution

Management Office processes and procedures are governed by DoD 4500.9R, Defense

Transportation Regulations (Part 1, 2, and 4) as well as the Joint Travel Regulations.

Marine Corps Orders 4600.39, 4600.7, and 4600.41B. As the Performance Work

Statement articulates, there are a number of new processes and procedures that are in development to include the Global Household Goods (GHC) Contract and other joint-service modernization efforts.

Question 30: For subtask 3.7.3, what specific tools are currently used to perform this task?

Answer: Current efforts to date have used common Microsoft Office software products (e.g.

Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

Question 31: For subtask 3.7.4, how many analyses are expected?

Answer: The expectation is outlined in Performance Work Statement section 7.2 Performance

Requirements Deliverable Schedule.

Question 32: Could the Government please explain subtask 3.8.1 in more detail? Could the

Government, please clarify the acceptable levels of proficiencies?

Question 33: For subtask 3.8.2, what training and resource manual standards are currently used? Do these training and resource manuals and standards already exist? If so, when were they last updated?

Answer: Current standards are within NAVMC 3500.25E dated 21 June 2022. A review of these standards were completed in 2023 and NAVMC 3500.25F is pending release.

Question 34: What does the Government mean by "tasks that require additional training outside of conducting normal installation DMO functions"?

Answer: Some training standards may not be accomplished through training within the installation

DMO itself. Training may be required at an alternate location. For example, training may need to occur at simulation center, at another command’s facility, etc. Installation

Workforce Learning Center offers a variety of classes and training, that improve on skills, where the training location is at the local Community College (close proximity of less than 20 miles to the Installation).

Question 35: For subtask 3.8.3, it states "detailed analysis of operations in the next twelve months and conceptual analysis focused on the next proceeding twenty-four months". Therefore, how frequently will this task need to be completed?

Answer: Subtask 3.8.3. requires an analysis that informs an annual training plan. It also requires that the analysis help inform a training plan for the next 12 months and the preceding 24 months to enable planning the appropriate resources for training in the defined outyears if the Government exercises the first option year.

Question 36: For subtask 3.8.4, how many training events are expected to take place monthly and annually? How long is each training event? How many participants are there within each training event? Who is leading the training event (e.g., who is the trainer)?

Answer: The training analysis required in 3.8 will inform the decision regarding how many training events are required, the scope, scale, and training resources required.

Question 37: Subtask 3.8.5 is the same as sub-task 3.8.4, would the Government please clarify?

Answer: The Government will amend the solicitation to correct this error.

Question 38: For subtask 3.8.6, could the Government please clarify what type of technical research and analysis they would like? This greatly determines the information and statistics that are maintained in regards to CLNC DMO operations.

Answer: Paragraph 5.0 recommends for adequate staff of employees with skills to inform and advise the Government on pending decision for types of analysis and technical research that is most beneficial to satisfy the Performance Work Statement services.

Question 39: What transportation systems are currently used? Are there plans to acquire and implement and additional transportation systems in the near future? Do all current transportation systems currently integrate with each other and the Defense Transportation

System?

Answer: The transportation systems currently used are defined in DoD 4500.9R, Defense

Transportation Regulations (Part I, II, and IV) as well as the Joint Travel Regulations.

Question 40: What method for data transfer, storage, and information dissemination is currently being used?

Answer: Transportation systems that are defined in DoD 4500.9R, Defense Transportation

Regulations (Part I, II, and IV) as well as the Joint Travel Regulations are used. See 5.1.7.

Question 41: How many technical documents are expected to be required per month / annually?

Answer: See 7.2. Performance Requirements Deliverable Schedule. The Performance Work

Statement requires program management planning and program modernization planning documentation. These deliverables are expected to recommend and plan technical documents with their schedule for production in order to satisfy required tasks.

Question 42: How frequently should supportability assessments be performed? How frequently are reports and briefings expected to be required and what quantity?

Answer: See 7.2. Performance Requirements Deliverable Schedule. The Performance Work

Statement requires program management planning and program modernization planning documentation. These deliverables are expected to recommend and plan technical documents with their schedule for production in order to satisfy required tasks.

Question 43: How many of each deliverable stated in 3.9.4 are expected to be required monthly?

Annually?

Answer: See 7.2. Performance Requirements Deliverable Schedule. PRS standard is 30 days after project service tasking; updated monthly (end of the month).

Question 44: How many training materials are expected to be developed? Does training currently exist that can be updated, or will it need to be created from scratch?

Answer: The amount of training material is dependent on the training analysis required in task 3.8.

There are existing training materials from the formal learning center and computer-based training courses that are expected to be analyzed and considered. A gap analysis is expected to reveal any training material that requires development.

Question 45: Are the listed training materials simply suggestions, or are war games expected to be developed to support this effort? If so, this will significantly increase the cost and level of effort of this contract.

Answer: The types/methods of training are dependent on the training analysis required in task 3.8.

A gap analysis is expected to reveal any potential war gaming and/or simulation that requires development.

Question 46: When was the Training and Resource manual last updated? How frequently is written analysis expected to be provided?

Answer: Current standards are within NAVMC 3500.25E dated 21 June 2022. A review of these standards were completed in 2023 and NAVMC 3500.25F is pending release. Analysis is required to assist DMO with training and readiness (T&R) reviews which typically occur every two years.

Question 47: How often are technical briefings expected to occur? How many personnel attend these technical briefings? Are all Contractor personnel expected to attend?

Answer: The Performance Work Statement requires the Contractor to attend and conduct technical briefings as required to support producing deliverables per the service task objectives in the Performance Work Statement.

Question 48: If offerors are expected to develop these documents, why would the requirement be to provide input on the development of them? Wouldn't offerors already be developing them in the first place?

Answer: The Government expects the Contractor to collaborate with the Government as described in paragraph 3.1. and 3.4.

Question 49: Subtask 3.15 states "Furthermore, the report shall report all funding received and shall detail the tasks or projects supported by such funding, and the funding source, if known."

This verbiage sounds very similar to what we would expect to see in an IDIQ effort. Can the Government confirm that this verbiage was supposed to be a part of this effort?

Answer: The Government will amend the solicitation to remove this section.

Question 50: How many SOPs are anticipated to be developed? How many SOPs currently exist? How recently were existing SOPs updated?

Answer: See 7.2. Performance Requirements Deliverable Schedule.

Question 51: The solicitation does not state what exactly the requirement is in regards to in progress review slides, could the Government please state what the requirement is? Additionally, how many are expected to be performed and how frequently?

Answer: See 7.2. Performance Requirements Deliverable Schedule. Processes, content, and methods are described in 3.0.

Question 52: How often is market research documentation expected?

Question 53: Subtask 3.19 states "60 days after project taskings". Could the Government please clarify what is meant by "after project taskings"?

Question 54: How frequently is analysis expected to be performed? How often are these analysis expected to be provided back to the Government?

Question 55: How often should these formal updates take place?

Question 56: Subtask 3.23 states "The FTR shall include TO-specific background information".

Understanding this is not an IDIQ with Task Orders associated to it, would the

Government please clarify what is meant by "TO-specific background information"?

Answer: The Government will amend the solicitation to clarify Subtask 3.23 as a Performance

Work Statement service task to be performed.

Question 57: If each travel event is expected to be 3 days, does this include travel days? E.g., leave on a Monday, spend Tuesday through Thursday at location, leave Friday, OR leave Monday, spend Tuesday at location, leave Wednesday?

Answer: The Government estimated travel is based on a travel day to location, up to three-day event, and travel day to return.

Question 58: The solicitation states the offeror shall submit the following with their quote: Technical

Performance, Experience, Period of Performance Information, Price, and Past

Performance. However, where to provide period of performance information is not addressed within the solicitation instructions. Could the Government please clarify on if they would like the period of performance information to be included as part of Volume

1, Technical?

Answer: The Government remove information from period of performance. Quoters providing experience should include the period of performance in which that experience occurred.

Question 59: In which proposal volume would the Government like offerors to provide a statement stating reps and certs have been complete in Sam.gov or include the completed reps and certs and return as part of their proposal?

Answer: Please refer to paragraph FAR 52.212-3(b)(2) listed in the solicitation.

Question 60: Understanding the Government has stated that no fewer than 3 personnel are required to perform the work, but that offerors are able to propose greater or lesser amount of personnel, while also understanding the Government will provide onsite workspaces

(e.g., chair, desk, NIPR computer) for these personnel, how much space/how many computers does the Government have available to accommodate personnel that may be proposed?

Answer: The Government estimates the Performance Work Statement objectives require a minimum of 3 Contractor personnel. The Government has the responsibility of accommodating all contracted personnel with workspace and computers.

Question 61: Understanding that 25% of the work is expected to be performed at alternate locations, will personnel performing work at alternate locations receive access to workspace at those locations (e.g., NIPR computer) to perform their work, or will they be permitted to take their assigned NIPR computer with them to alternate locations?

Answer: The Government is not offering alternate work locations. The Government is willing to accept the Contractor performing work 25% of the time in an alternate work location other than the one the Government is offering (e.g. Contractor provided site).

Question 62: The solicitation states that the post award orientation shall be scheduled within one week after award, however offerors are expected to have the Key Personnel and one other personnel available to begin work the day after award. Would the Government please clarify on if it is their intent for personnel to begin working prior to the post award orientation?

Answer: The Government expects one Key Personnel and one other Contractor employee to start upon contract award and the remaining Contractor staff to be at 100% within 10 days.

Question 63: "Vendors must submit knowledge, skills, and abilities for all potential employees with no individual names." Can the Government please confirm that they are referring to minimum qualifications, knowledge, skills, and abilities that will be accepted by the offeror for these positions?

Answer: The Government is referring to minimum qualifications, knowledge, skills, and abilities possessed by Contractor personnel.

Question 64: "Technical Factor 1 - Technical Capability with Management Plan" does not state that offerors must state how they will perform each task within the Performance Work

Statement as proof of their technical capability. The three subsections (i), (ii), and (iii) speak to management and staffing rather than technical capability. However, Page 7, "Technical Performance" states "Technical Performance: The vendor shall provide a capability statement/performance plan that demonstrates their ability to perform the services in accordance with the requirements of the Performance Work Statement within the required period of performance in the solicitation. The vendor should address their experience providing this type of service, equipment supplied, and any other relevant information (see the attached Performance Work Statement)." Could the Government please review Technical Factor 1 on page 35 and update it to align with Page 7 and include the requirement for technical capability/performance in response to the

Performance Work Statement within this factor?

Answer: Technical Factor 1, is the actual evaluation standard the Government will use to determine the Contractor’s technical capability to meet the performance requirements based on the qualifications, knowledge, skills, and abilities possessed by Contractor personnel and rate the Contractor’s technical quote. Page 7 is a brief summary of the evaluation factors to be used prior to the actual factors in detail on page 35.

Question 66: Can the Government please confirm that position descriptions and qualifications for all three positions should be provided or just the Key?

Answer: The Government’s solicitation requires services in the Performance Work Statement to be completed. The Quoter must determine the number of Contractor employees and category positions.

Question 67: Is there a limit to the number of past performances that can be provided?

Answer: The Government is not requesting past performance questionnaires.

Question 68: Should offerors use 2080 or 1912 to price full-time/annual per position?

Answer: The quoter is required to review the Service Contract Act for guidance.

Question 69: Has the Government identified the specific Wage Determination Codes that should be used with each SCA position?

Answer: The quoter is responsible for making the determination of which wage determination labor categories to use to meet or exceed the objectives of the Performance Work

Statement.
