Question 305:

During review, it was discovered that NAVAIR supplement clause 5252.215-9524 "BASIS FOR AWARD" (JUL 1998) was added.

The following is submitted for review and response:

Amendment 3 to the subject solicitation (released December 22, 2017) introduced NAVAIR supplement clause 5252.215-9524 "BASIS FOR AWARD" (NAVAIR) (JUL 1998) in Section M. The Offeror believes this clause is in conflict with other portions of Section M, where it appears the Government intends to evaluate proposals using a Trade-off method and make a Best Value award. Which method does the Government intend to use when evaluating proposals in response to the subject solicitation Best Value or LPTA?

Answer:

NAVAIR supplement clause 5252.215-9524 "BASIS FOR AWARD" (JUL 1998) is not applicable to this solicitation.

There have been system issues with generating the conform copy of the solicitation.

If a clause appears in the conform copy that was not in the original solicitation or was not added in a specific individual amendment (SF 30), that clause is not applicable to the solicitation.

We are currently reviewing the conform copy to eliminate the clauses that should not be included and an updated conform copy will be posted.
