The purpose of this amendment is to revise the solicitation and answer questions from potential offerors.

1. E-2 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE is changed to the following:

Inspection and acceptance of the final delivery will be accomplished by the contracting officer’s representative (COR) designated in Section G of this contract. Inspection and acceptance will be performed at the delivery location. For proposal purposes, delivery shall occur at NRL, Washington, DC.

The Government will evaluate equally, regarding time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.

4. G-8 INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR SUBMISSION OF EACH ORDER FOR SERVICES

(CLINs 0008, 0009, and 0010) is changed to the following:

The contracting officer will provide the contractor with a statement of work (SOW) or order solicitation for each order for services (CLIN 0008), which may or may not include materials and travel (CLINs 0009 and 0010). The contractor shall provide the contracting officer with a proposal or proposed pricing in response to the SOW or solicitation within 10 business days.

Direct labor hours, travel, and material costs are subject to negotiation prior to award. To fully evaluate each order proposal, the contractor shall provide the following as applicable:

● A time-phased (e.g., monthly, quarterly, etc.) breakdown of direct labor by labor category

● A complete breakdown for travel identifying each cost mode of travel and the reason for the travel proposed

● A complete list of all material including quantity and cost

The contractor shall provide specific documentation to serve as the basis for price verification (e.g., vendor quotations, invoices, published price lists, GSA schedule lists, etc.).

5. The following questions, with their answers, were received from potential offerors:

Q1. Pages 2,3,4: Please explain NRL interpretation of the meaning unit price, max amount, and net max amount as they pertain to items 0001 thru 0010. Does this include the CDRLs associated with each item?

If not where do we account for the CDRLs? Also how do we indicate the scale associated with various quantities that can be purchased?

A1. This solicitation contemplates an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract. The government may order up to specified number of units (CLINs 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, 0006, and 0007—see the number identified as the maximum quantity for each CLIN) or up to a specified ceiling amount (CLINs 0008, 0009, and 0010—see the amount identified as the maximum estimated amount for each of these CLINs). The CLIN for the CDRLs is not separately priced, as stated on page 2 of the solicitation;

therefore, the costs of the CDRLs should be included in the prices offered for the other CLINs.

Offeror’s shall indicate the unit price for a single unit of each segment of CLIN 0001 (i.e., each SLIN under CLIN 0001), each unit type (CLINs 0003, 0004, 0005), each module for unit type 3 (if proposed) (SLINs under CLIN 0006), and each spare (CLIN 0007) in accordance with the proposed spares list. To indicate scale associated with varying quantities, offerors are to include this information in their price proposals and indicate in Section B that quantity pricing is provided elsewhere in the proposal.

Q2. Page 4: Can you provide a definition of item 0010 materials?

A2. CLIN 0010, Materials, is for materials required during/for support services, the costs for which will be reimbursed to the contractor.

Q3. Page 6: With respect to the second C-4 on the page, why is ECMRA required? This is a FFP contract so reporting labor hours is contradictory to the type of contract envisioned.

A3. Labor hours provided under CLIN 0008 will have to be reported. See FAQs at https://doncmra.nmci.navy.mil/help/faq.aspx.

Q4. Page 8: E-2 inspection and acceptance states assume Norfolk, VA, for delivery point, however should the delivery be OCONUS or some other location the shipping costs will vary. Please provide guidance as to the NRL interpretation.

A4. The solicitation has been modified at Section E-2 to state that for proposal purposes, delivery shall occur in Washington, DC. Please assume this for proposal purposes. The government realizes that actual delivery costs will vary. See FAR 47.305-11, Options in shipment and delivery. The specific delivery location(s) shall be disclosed to the contractor after award. Fixed prices may be renegotiated dependent upon delivery location(s). Section F-4 of the solicitation has also been amended.

Q5. Page 9: F-4 place of delivery states FOB destination to be NRL in Washington DC. Doesn’t this conflict with E-2 on page 8 and elsewhere in the solicitation where it mentions possible various delivery locations?

A5. E-2 and F-4 of the solicitation has been amended.

Q6. Page 10: Item 0001AB delivery schedule seems to be in error because it cannot be in the same timeframe as 0001AA (8 weeks ARO) since the criteria of 0001AB is a Detailed design and engineering whereas item 0001AA is a Preliminary design and engineering. Please explain how both can be due at the same point?

A6. F-6 of the solicitation has been amended.

Q7. Page 10: Maximum quantity for items 0003, 4, 5 with one delivery date of 28 weeks ARO seems unreasonable. Please explain how the various quantities that could possibility be purchased all be due at the same time? There must be some consideration for a delivery rate and not due all at one time, correct?

A7. The government desires that one each of all three unit types ordered as Phase II be delivered at the same time, i.e., 28 weeks after receipt of order for Phase II. Any additional orders for any additional unit types are also desired within 28 weeks of receipt of order.

This solicitation contemplates award of an IDIQ contract; the maximum amounts stated in section B are the maximum numbers of units the government may order during the three-year ordering period. It is extremely unlikely the government would order the maximum quantities of all/any unit types and spares at one time. The government does not expect that any vendor would be able to provide all of the maximum quantities at one time within 28 weeks of receipt of order.

The anticipated scenario upon award of any contract that may result from this solicitation is as follows:

● Task order 0001: CLINs 0001AA and 0001AB, i.e., Phase I (and CLIN 0002)

● Task order 0002: one each of CLINs 0003, 0004, and 0005, i.e., one each of Unit Types 1, 2, and 3 for Phase II (and CLIN 0002)

● Task order 0003: four to five units of Unit Type 1 and three to four units of Unit Type 2

● Task order 0004: three to four units of Unit Type 1 and three to four units of Unit Type 2

This explanation is an estimate only and does not alter the minimum or maximum quantity to be purchased by the government as stated in Section B-3 of the solicitation. No orders beyond the first order are guaranteed to be awarded by the government under any contract resulting from this solicitation.

Q8. Page 17: G-8 information required for submission of each order seems to conflict with the FFP requirement stated elsewhere in the solicitation. If our initial proposal is for FFP then why the need to separately price future orders? Please explain.

A8. G-8 of the solicitation has been amended.

Q9. Page 17: G-8 thru 12 Appear to be related to some other type contract and not a FFP. Please explain the relevance.

A9. Sections G-8 through G-12 apply to orders placed using CLIN 0008, and may include CLINs 0009 and 0010. These are firm-fixed-price level-of-effort and cost-only CLINs.

Q10. Page 69: FAR 52.216-1, type of contract, does “cost only” orders relate to attachment 2 service

(CLIN 0008)?

A10. The contact contemplated by this solicitation includes firm-fixed-price CLINs, a fixed-price level-of-effort CLIN, and cost-only CLINs. CLIN 0008 is fixed-price level-of-effort. Offerors are to complete Attachment 2, proving fixed hourly prices (i.e., fully burdened hourly labor rates) for each proposed labor category in accordance with section 3.3.3 of the statement of work (Exhibit B). Services include labor, travel, and material, for which CLINs 0008, 0009, and 0010 are provided, each with not-to-exceed/maximum-estimated amounts. CLINs 0009 and 0010 are cost-only; offerors are permitted to apply appropriate indirect rates, but no fee/profit will be permitted.
