STATEMENT REQUIRING CLARIFICATION

OR QUESTION (KTR) ANSWER

1 Pages 28 and 31 of the RFP and Page

D-1 of Appendix D of Attachment 1 of the SOW.

Section B, Supplies or

Services and

Prices; SOW

Appendix D of

Attachment 1.

CLINS 0103, 0203, 0303, and 0403, 0601, and 0701 are all associated with the same specific tasking defined in Appendix D to Attachment I of the SOW.

However, CLINs 0601 and 0701 have many more engineering hours associated with them than the other CLINS listed in Appendix D. Did the

Government intend for this or is this an error?

This was intentional to account for extra efforts in the last two years of the contract. No new baselines are planned after TI24/APB23 under this contract.

2 Section B; Page 4

& page 42.

The contract type for CLIN 0006 is referenced as

CPFF in Section B page 4, but NSP on page 42 & page 183. It appears NSP may be the correct contract type for this CDRL CLIN. Will the Government please update contract type on Page 4?

The CLIN is required to have a contract type, however it is a Not Separately Priced CLIN.

3 Section F; Page 67. Period of Performance for CLIN 0101 is listed as

"n/a". Can the Government please state the Period of

Performance for CLIN 0101?

Yes, the update has been made in amendment 0001.

4 Section L; Page

167/168.

The RFP limits the number of foldout pages for the proposal. Since Volume II-Cost/Price Proposal does not have a page count limitation, can offerors assume there are no limitations on the number of foldout pages in this volume?

There is no limitation on the number of foldout pages offers can provide for Volume II.

Section L.

Section L. As subcontractor pricing information may be considered proprietary data, will the Government allow Subcontractor information to be submitted as an individually wrapped submittal and indicated as an attachment to the prime’s submittal?

Yes, offerors can send subcontractor information, cost and pricing information to directly to the PCO or as an attachment to the offerors submittal.

FAR 52.230-1 Cost Accounting Standards Notices and Certification.

Yes, the contract clause FAR 52.230-1 has been updated to (DEVIATION 2018-O0015) in amendment 0001.

Pages 199-200, 2.5

FACTOR 5 -

Section M. Page 199 states that the "orders CLINs will not be evaluated at this time." However, page 200 identifies the target cost, Government cost realism adjustments (if applicable) and fixed fee dollar amount of orders CLINs 0005 and 0007 will be included in the GTEC/P analysis. Will the

Government please confirm whether orders CLINs will or will not be evaluated in the GTEC/P analysis?

An update on the GTEC/P evaluation on the order CLINs

0005 and 0007 has been made in amendment 0001.

Factor (1) - 1.6

SEMP.

Section L. Factor 1.6 calls out Software Engineering

Management Plan (SEMP). Will the Government confirm that this should be the Systems Engineering

Management Plan (SEMP)?

The SEMP is the Systems Engineering Management Plan.

The RFP has been updated to fix this error in amendment

0001.

Page 183; Section

4.2.2.3.

Section L. Request the Government remove the words

"mandated in Section B" as the hours for Completion

CLINs are not defined in Section B.

Yes, the words “mandated in Section B” has been removed in amendment 0001.

Page 185; Section

4.2.4.

Section L. RFP Section L 4.2.4 states “Offerors shall provide a recent screen-capture (or equivalent) from the employer's payroll system for each named individual

(in Attachment 7 - Staffing Matrix), as well as for companywide highest, lowest, and average actual, incurred unburdened hourly rate data for each proposed labor category. The screen-captures (or equivalent) shall be fully explained, allowing the

Government to identify relevant compensation and clearly map to individual rates shown in Attachment

8 - Supporting Cost Data Workbooks, Parts A and B.

...". Instances may exist where an Offeror develops rates based upon a labor pooling methodology within defined job categories, rather than by utilizing employee-specific payroll data in its cost proposal.

To address these instances, will the Government

No, the Government will not amend section L for this request. Offerors should propose in accordance with

amend the solicitation such that this requirement be satisfied by solely providing supporting documentation that is consistent with an Offeror’s disclosed rate development process (in lieu of providing employee-specific payroll data)?

Page 186; Section

4.2.4 (h).

Section L. RFP Section 4.2.4; paragraph (h) states "Supporting data shall be included for subcontractors with cost or pricing data exceeding the $750,000 cost or pricing data threshold defined in FAR 15.403-4." Request the Government update the cost or pricing data value to $2,000,000 consistent with (DEVIATION 2018-

O0015).

Yes, the threshold has been updated in amendment 0001 of the RFP.

Page 167: Section

2.0.

Section L Will the Government eliminate the Page Limitation of Volume IV: Supplemental Information in order for offerors to provide Government evaluators sufficient BOE detail and a consistent BOE format between Volumes II and IV?

No, however the Government will update the page limitation to 100 pages for Volume IV.

Page 183. Section L. Will the Government allow offerors to bid their own

CPFF fee structure to allow competition to dictate a fair and reasonable price for the work contemplated in the Solicitation? In the event the Government will not allow competition to dictate the fair and reasonable CPFF fee, it is requested that the

Government increase the mandatory maximum CPFF fixed fees. Potential offerors are unable to determine precisely how the Government derived the CPFF fixed fees. However, it appears that the technical risks and management/cost control risks may not be fully recognized. Among other things, the scope is extremely important to the Government and the effort will involve a high degree of integration and coordination. Facilities capital employed and cost efficiency also add to the fee. Recognition of these factors warrants a CPFF fixed fee in excess of 6.0%.

No, the offerors are not allowed to bid their own CPFF fee structure. The Government will not increase the maximum

CPFF fixed fee of 6.0%. The Government has assessed the offerors technical risks, management/cost control risks and assessed the complexity of the requirement.

CLINS (0001, 0003, 0103, 0105, 0203, 0205,

Government Fiscal Year.

For example, CLIN 0001 shows GFY 2020 on the

USN-RAN SHARE HR BY GFY-CWBS worksheet.

In addition, the CLIN specific worksheet for CLIN

0001 shows calendar year 2019 and 2020. Each

Engineering Services CLIN has a duration of 12 months, therefore the start date appears to be 1

October 2019.

Would the Government please confirm that for pricing purposes, the offeror is to assume a 1

October 2019 start for the base year Engineering

Services CLINs and each subsequent option year would begin 1 October?

There is an ODC tab in the Completion CLIN

RFP or corresponding ODC CLINs in Section B.

Is it the Government’s intent that Completion ODCs will be part of the Completion Labor CLINs or are separate CLINs required with Offeror proposed

ODCs?

Completion CLINs should include both the TI/APB hour estimate and ODC estimates required to support the tasking associated with the TI/APB hours. The CLIN tabs and the ODC tab rolls up into a CLIN total on the

“overview” tab. It is the Government’s Intent that

Completion ODC costs will be proposed as part of the

Please clarify if a pre-existing SIPRNet installation is required prior to contract award or if

SIPRNet can be installed following contract award.

Award Conference (PAC), Preliminary Design

Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR) or

Incremental Design Review (IDR), Delivery

Readiness Review (DRR) and should also include

Test Readiness Reviews (TRR), software tests, integration tests and delivery of all CDRLs.

The Government has made the update in Section L in amendment 0001 to allow 10 foldouts.
