1. Can you provide me with the award amount (dollar value) and pricing (firm fixed, time-and-materials, etc.) for this RFP?

(RFP) and there is no award at this time. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price.

9. L-6.2.7 Section V: Past Performance. Past performance describes how well the offeror has performed work that is the same as or similar to the contract work, while corporate experience reflects whether the offeror has performed such work.

Corporate Experience is the most important factor. Is the past performance and corporate experience evaluated based on the Prime or the Team formed to reply to the proposal?

a. Past performance and Corporate Experience will be reviewed in accordance with

Section M-3.

10. Can CPARS be utilized in lieu of Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs), as many

DoD agencies have policies that do not allow government personnel to complete and submit PPQs for contracts in which CPARS exist.

a. In accordance with Section L-6.2.7(j), the offeror is responsible “for sending the

Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) form (Attachment L-1) to these two references. The references should be directed to submit the completed PPQ to the

Primary POC (listed in L-1) no later than the proposal due date. The Government reserves the right to contact these references for any purpose (including if they do not submit PPQs by the proposal due date) and consider any information received in making a past performance assessment.” The government reserves the right

(but is not obligated) to consider other sources of past performance information in accordance with Section M-6.3.4

11. Will the government provide labor categories, descriptions and LOE estimates?

12. Does the government intend to provide any additional supporting guidance (SPEBO procedures, policies, directives, and organizational structures) to support the SOW?

13. Would you consider changing the travel CLINs to cost reimbursement rather than

FFP?

14. Can the government share the labor categories being utilized on the current contract, or provide a preferred staffing plan of the 26,880 annual hours estimated?

15. Are part-time employees allowable, or does the government prefer only full-time employees supporting the contract? Is part-time or full-time remote support allowable?

a. Part-time and full-time remote and on-site support will be considered as long as the contractor demonstrates ability to support all required services as listed in the

Statement of Work.

16. Regarding L-6.2.7, we will be proposing with multiple teammates/subcontractors.

The Past Performance requirements state that “If the offeror submits efforts performed by its proposed subcontractors, an equal or greater number of efforts must be submitted for the prime offeror.” Also, that there are a maximum of three efforts submitted for the entire team. Please confirm our understanding that it is acceptable for the prime to submit one effort, and for two different subcontractors to submit one each for a total of three? Thus, the prime submits equal numbers as each of its subcontractors (e.g. 1 each).

a. The proposed scenario (1 Prime Contractor effort, 1 Subcontractor A effort, 1

Subcontractor B effort) meets the requirements of L-6.2.7 because an equal number of efforts will be submitted for the prime contractor (1) as will be submitted for each of the subcontractors (1 each).
