Munitions Materiel Handling Equipment (MMHE) Questions and Answers

1. Can we add cover page to each volume? Does it count as part of total pages?

You can add a cover page to each volume if you choose; however, that page will be counted as part of the total pages.

2. For volume II and III, can we add table of contents? I only see that for volume I.

Table contents should be inclusive of all volumes. Please do not provide a separate table of contents for each volume.

3. What system does this chock set attach to?

The JSM chocks are designed to go on a MHU-141 trailer with vibration isolation, that can support the JSM munition while in its transport cradle.

4. Does this part have an incumbent, or is it a new requirement?

Yes, there are incumbents.

5. The list of FAR clauses incorporated by reference includes FAR 52.209-7 – which has a box for the offeror to check – but with the clause incorporated by reference, does the Contracting Officer want the offeror to provide a separate page in proposal for such clause with the offeror’s response, that does not count against the pages for the proposal – Per FAR 52.209-7(d) “The offeror shall post the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(iv) of this provision in FAPIIS as required through maintaining an active registration in the System for Award Management, which can be accessed via https://www.sam.gov (see 52.204-7).” Additional pages are not required or will be accepted for the information required by FAR 52.209-7.

6. Can the USG remove the Table of Contents (ToC) requirement for Vol I due to in being a total of 2 pages and add the ToC requirement to Vol II which has a greater page count?

The total pages allotted for Vol I is 3 pages. 2 pages for the Executive Summary and 1 page for the ToC. The ToC for the entire proposal will remain in Vol I.

7. Will the USG remove the ToC and Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms from the page count and allocate those pages to the Sub Factors in Volume II allowing offeror's more writing space to ensure clarity and coherence in technical approaches?

The Governments evaluation team has determined that the pages allotted for each Subfactor are sufficient. Interested vendors should provide key information to ensure clarity and coherence of their technical and managerial approach.

8. Will the USC allow offeror's to use text size 10-point Times New Roman for all graphics, tables, and figures?

The font shall remain as listed as we are following the Air Force "Tongue and Quill", the standard font is Times New Roman 12- point.

9. Will the USG reconsider this answer to allow offerors to provide a more detailed technical approach and professional response.

While the Government appreciates the effort to include a cover page for a more professional presentation, the goal is to focus on the technical and managerial approach of interested vendors.

10. Can the USG clarify how it will count towards to page count?

The ToC (1 page) counts as part of the total 24 page count for proposals. The Government does not require a ToC for each Volume.

11. If it is going to count towards Volume I as that is the most logical place for an all encompassing table of contents, will the USG increase the page count for Vol I so that offerors can provide a thorough write up in their executive summaries?

The Governments evaluation team has determined that 2 pages is sufficient to provide information required for the Executive Summary.
