The following have been added by full text:

RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS

Response to Questions ref Solicitation N0018920Q0260

The following questions were submitted in reference to the solicitation:

(1) We have a CREDO contract past performance that we would like to submit in our proposal.

The contract years are 30 Sep 2013-31 July 2016. Will this meet the requirement for "...relevant contracts within the past five (5) years from solicitation closing" since two of the 4 years of the contract are within the last 5 years?

Response: As long as the final year of the contract past performance is within the 5 years of solicitation closing, the past performance will meet the requirement and be considered in the submission.

(2) Is it acceptable to send a Past Performance Report Form to a recently retired customer? If not, will a Past Performance Report Form from the Contracting Officer fulfill the requirement?

Response: All past performance reports submitted within the time requirements will be accepted whether the customer is retired or not.

(3) Just for clarity, the resume page count does not count in the Technical Approach 20-page limit?

Response: The solicitation will be amended to delete reference to resumes, which are not required in response to the solicitation. If submitted, resumes will not be considered or evaluated but will count toward the page limit for Technical Approach submission.

(4) Can we include resumes under a separate cover entitled "Resumes" or should they be an Appendix to the Technical Proposal?

Response: The solicitation will be amended to delete reference to resumes, which are not required in response to the solicitation. If submitted, resumes will not be considered or evaluated but will count toward the page limit for Technical Approach submission.

(5) Please clarify the following discrepancies:

The chart on page 17 shows the plug number for the travel in OPY1 is $50,200.

However, the Travel Clin "1002 Option" in OPY1, page19 states to plug in $48,000.

The chart on page 17 shows the plug number for the travel in OPY2 is $52,480.

However, the Travel Clin "2002 Option" in OPY2, page 20 states to plug in $48,000.

The chart on page 17 shows the plug number for the travel in the Option to Extend period is $28,104. However, the Travel Clin "4002 Option" on page 22 states to plug in $48,000.

Response: The solicitation will be amended to reflect consistency with the table values on pages 17 and 30-31 for the following Travel CLINS: 1002, 2002, 3002, and 4002.

The table on page 17 shows the plug number for the travel in OPY1 is $50,200.

The table on page 17 shows the plug number for the travel in OPY3 is $54,832.

Factor 2, Past Performance.

To demonstrate its past performance, the vendor shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts within the past five (5) years from the solicitation closing date. Vendors shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts to the requirements of the solicitation. For purposes of this solicitation, a contract is defined as a single contract or a single task order placed under an ID/IQ contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply Schedule. Vendors may submit a combination of no more than three (3) delivery orders (DOs), task orders (TOs), technical direction letters (TDLs), and/or technical area tasks (TATs) placed under an ID/IQ or BPA as one of the three examples of past performance. Such a combination must also meet the requirements stated above: each individual example in the combination must have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation closing date and demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance during that five-year period. No more than one combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs is permitted in the past performance submittal.

Subcontractor performance (either the vendor's own subcontractor experience or quoted subcontractors experience) of major or critical aspects of this requirement will be considered as highly as prime contractor past performance information for the vendor. Failure of vendors to provide the required information and level of specificity will result in the contract reference not being evaluated.

The vendor shall complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation.

In addition to the information requested above, vendors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the Past Performance Report Form attached to the solicitation and e-mail the completed survey form directly to Bridget Crouch at bridget.crouch@navy.mil by the DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION.

The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation and to contact references for verification or additional information.

All vendors are to quote the “Not to Exceed” travel amounts provided below for each identified cost-reimbursable CLIN (base and option CLINs). The Government’s estimated travel (plus applicable burdens) shall be used for the purpose of evaluating the price quote. Application of overhead and/or G&A rates, as appropriate, will be allowed only if the vendor maintains separate accounts for such costs; the vendor must apply burdens (as appropriate and allowable) to the common evaluation amounts.

No profit or fee may be applied to the travel costs. Any vendor having an accounting system that allows for the application of overhead and G&A to travel shall specifically state this. The vendor’s failure to identify that additional indirect cost elements will be included shall result in those costs being deemed as mutually agreed upon as unallowable during the performance of the contract:

Period Travel Base Period $48,000.00 Option Period 1 $50,200.00 Option Period 2 $52,480.00 Option Period 3 $54,832.00 FAR Clause 52.217-8 $28,104.00
