Questions and Answers

The following responses are provided to questions received on 24-26 February 2021 regarding the solicitation.

Q1: In a recent Q&A, the Government indicated that the offeror should only submit cost proposals for the sample tasks. How does that reconcile with page 94 of the RFP, specifically where it discusses Vol IV Past Performance which reads in part, “The Prime Offeror shall also submit Past Performance Questionnaire for each proposed Subcontractor effort valued 10% of their total current offering or more.” Do offerors submit questionnaires only for those subcontractors that represent more than 10% of its offering on a specific sample task, the aggregate of the priced tasks, or the aggregate of all anticipated tasks?

Response: Aggregate of all anticipated tasks.

Q2: On Page 96 of the RFP in the discussion of Volume V Cost, it is stated that, “Subcontractor data shall be provided in the same detail as required for the prime contractor…. Fully disclosed subcontractor cost for the approved subcontractor(s) shall be submitted directly to the designated Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist for this RFP.” The paragraph then continues on about the prime contractor’s responsibilities relative to including cost/price analyses on subcontractor costs. Considering that in prior Q&A the Government indicated the full 301,600 hours do not need to be priced, does the aforementioned requirements for subcontractor cost detail only apply to those subcontractors who are being proposed on the sample tasks?

Response: Yes, cost detail only apply to those subcontractors who are proposed for the initial and sample tasks.

Q3: On Page 94 of the RFP in the discussion of Volume IV Past Performance, the Past Performance Questionnaire form link provided https://www.nrl.navy.mil/doing-business/sites/edit-www.nrl.navy.mil.doing-business/files/files/past_performance_report_%204335_1.pdf does not work.

Response: Due to recent updates the NRL public website, the hyperlink for the form is not functional. The Past Performance Questionnaire form is provided at Section J, Attachment 09.

Q4: Is the call for full proposals or is at the white paper stage?

Response: This solicitation is a Request for Proposal (RFP), and not at the white paper stage.

Q5: Do we need a contact from NRL for this proposal?

Response: No, no contact from NRL is needed to submit a proposal. Please note that this acquisition is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 541715. Any responsible small business concerns under the designated NAICS can submit proposals in response to the RFP.

Q6: What is the format of the proposal and what is the range of budget per proposal?

N0017321RZL01

Response: Please see section L of the solicitation for instructions on the proposal format. The Government contemplates award of a Single Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract resulting from this solicitation. The maximum ordering ceiling for the resultant IDIQ contract is $75,600,000.00.

Please be advised, as stated in Section H-2 of the solicitation, bid and proposal cost are not allowable and will not be paid under this solicitation, contract, or any associated task order under this contract.

Q7: Can we write more than 1 proposal as PI or CoPI?

Response: Each company shall only submit one proposal in accordance with the instructions, and terms and conditions specified in the solicitation document.
