Amendment 0001 to Answer Vendor Questions for Request for Quote (RFQ) M6700126Q00521. Question:

Should the pricing data be typed directly into the appropriate blocks for each CLIN beginning on page 4, or does the Government desire the pricing data for each of the CLINs to be submitted on a separate excel spreadsheet. 1. Answer: Quoters shall enter their pricing data directly into the appropriate CLIN blocks within the Solicitation document. A separate Excel spreadsheet is not required unless explicitly specified in the solicitation instructions for detailed basis of estimate breakdowns. But there is a separate Excel spreadsheet for the Six-Month Extension CLIN not listed in the RFQ.2. Question: Regarding the Travel CLINs, what dollar figure do you wish for quoters to enter for each of those CLINs, or should we leave those blocks blank?2.

Answer: The Government has established a Not-To-Exceed (NTE) "plug number" of $25,000 per Quarter for a Total of $100,000.00 for each Travel CLINs. All quoters must use this identical NTE amount in their proposals to ensure equitable evaluation.3. Question: The Evaluation Factors listed on page 48, paragraph 1, states that quoter must be listed on the DoD Paratroop Commercial Operator Listing to be considered for this contract award. Can the Government please confirm whether this requirement is still intended for this solicitation?3.

Answer: No, this requirement is no longer intended. The Government will issue an amendment to remove the requirement to be listed on the DoD Paratroop Commercial Operator Listing from the evaluation factors.4.

Question: We noticed, on pages 29 and 30 of the solicitation, that Employee Class Code 15060 is anticipated for the parachute, boat, and diving support; the Employee Class code 21210 is anticipated for the second required position for parachute support. Can the Government confirm the vendor does not have to use the occupational codes the Government provided and can use the occupational codes they think best fits the positions?4. Answer:

Confirmed. Quoters are responsible for determining their own labor categories and occupational codes. The Quoter will determine best fit labor category in their quote to meet the Performance Work Statement (PWS) services, provided they map appropriately to an applicable Wage Determination.5. Question: Can the Government confirm that this is an SCA contract and the SCA Labor Categories/Rates apply to this contract?5.

Answer: The Government confirms this requirement is subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA). Applicable Department of Labor Wage Determinations are incorporated into the solicitation.6. Question: We noted there is a travel CLIN included for the base and option years. However, the estimated travel/historical travel is not provided in the solicitation documents. Would the Government consider providing a "plug number" for each travel CLIN to ensure balanced and accurate quotes? 6. Answer: Yes. As noted in the response to Question 2, the Government has established a standard NTE "plug number" of $100,000.00 for the Travel CLINs to ensure balanced quoting and equitable evaluation. 7. Question: Will the Government provide a pricing/bid sheet, or should offerors simply complete the pricing CLINS within the Solicitation? 7. Answer: Quoters should complete the pricing CLINs directly within the Solicitation document. No separate pricing/bid sheet will be provided.8.

Question: Per instructions and evaluation criteria, offerors shall include six months of additional pricing after the last option year. In the evaluation, this CLIN is referenced as 5001. However, CLIN 5001 is not included /listed on page 6 of the solicitation. How would the Government like offerors to include CLIN 5001 in our submission?8. Answer: Pricing for this six-month extension must be provided on a separate Excel spreadsheet.

This is an optional CLIN which may be added with the Contracting Officer making a final determination.9.

Question: We noted offerors are to provide a Hazard/Safety/Emergency Plan with their Technical Capability Volume. However, offerors will follow the Hazard/Safety/Emergency Plan for the base and any locations we provide services at. Therefore, does the Government want offerors to include Hazard/Safety/Emergency Plan in our proposal or just adhere to the Government's Hazard/Safety/Emergency Plan?9. Answer: Quoters are required to submit their own Hazard/Safety/Emergency Plan. The submitted plan must explicitly demonstrate

M6700126Q00520001 the quoter’s internal procedures for managing risk and personnel, and detail how those company-specific procedures will integrate with and adhere to the Government's overarching installation plans. 10. Question: We noted offerors are to provide Emergency Base Closure Plan with their Technical Capability Volume. However, offerors will follow the Emergency Base Closure Plan for the base and any locations we provide service at.

Therefore, does the Government want offerors to include Emergency Base Closure Plan in our proposal or just adhere to the Government's Emergency Base Closure Plan?10. Answer: Like the Safety Plan, quoters must submit their own Emergency Base Closure Plan. This document must detail company-specific protocols for employee accountability, communication, and work stoppage, while demonstrating seamless adherence to the Government's base closure directives.11. Question: Please confirm the "Betterment Factor" should not be provided in a separate volume, but is a part of one or more factors, including Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price.11. Answer: Confirmed. Quoters may recommend one or more betterment improvements to the requirement or the PWS integrate their recommendation directly into the relevant Technical Capability or Past Performance quote. Price impacts of any proposed betterments must be clearly reflected within the Price volume. Do not submit a separate "Betterment Volume."12. Question: Can the Government provide which factor is more heavily weighted than others or which factor(s) takes precedence over others among: Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price?12. Answer: This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 12 procedures for the acquisition of commercial products and commercial services.

The Basis for award for this acquisition is the Quotes will be evaluated based on factors of Technical Capability, Past Performance, Betterment, and Price. 13. Question: Can the Government provide details regarding whether this will be evaluated as a best value tradeoff or a best value LPTA? If a tradeoff is utilized, can the tradeoff criteria be provided/defined?13. Answer: The Government confirms this acquisition will be evaluated utilizing a Best Value. In the basis of award in the RFQ, the Quotes will be evaluated based on factors of Technical Capability, Past Performance, Betterment, and Price. When non-pricefactors are combined.
