QUESTIONS RECEIVED ON 20 MAY 2013

1) Are proposal cartons to be double-wrapped, even if hand-carried?

Yes, to protect competitive sensitivity of all offerors.

2) The direct labor rates paragraph of L-1, 3.2, Section 2 Contractor Rates specifies FY14 rates to be utilized when proposing Option period rates; however, no such specificity is noted for the base period rates. Please advise what FY rates to utilize for the base period.

The paragraph requires offerors to propose in compliance with effective rate agreements, such as AWDs, CBAs, and FPRAs. For base period pricing, there is no price adjustment available IAW FAR 52.222-43; therefore, offerors are encouraged to utilize the anticipated award date of March 2014 to target the base period FY applicability.
