Based on the expanded years in the requirement, is it safe to assume that the anticipated contract value will increase? Or, will the anticipated contract value remain the same as the current value?

Response: Access to other contractor’s performance information is considered source selection and proprietary data and therefore not publicly releasable.

Section M of the solicitation states both that “[a] price realism analysis will not be conducted” and “the government may, at its discretion, evaluate the realism of compensation plans for all positions in the aggregate.” Given the potential conflict and ambiguity in these provisions, will the government please clarify whether it will perform a price realism analysis?

Response: See Part II of this amendment for revisions to the Section M provision entitled

EVALUATION CRITERIA AND THE BASIS FOR AWARD

40. In Section M, evaluation criteria, the RFP states, "For all non-price factors (other than Past Performance), an offeror’s proposal must be determined to be Acceptable or better in order to be eligible for award. A rating that is less than “Acceptable” in any non-price evaluation factor will render a proposal ineligible for award consideration as submitted.” Further stated, “…in any non-price evaluation factor and/or less than a “Satisfactory Confidence” rating in the Past Performance evaluation factor will render a proposal ineligible for award consideration as submitted.” Will the Government define all the adjectival ratings (i.e., Acceptable, Satisfactory Confidence, etc.) to be assigned to offeror proposals evaluation criteria for non-price evaluation factors?

Response: Offers will be evaluated in accordance with the terms of the solicitation. The adjectival ratings to be assigned to the evaluation of the offeror’s non-cost proposal will be consistent with the adjectival ratings identified in the Defense Pricing and Contracting memorandum dated August 20, 2022, entitled “Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures”, as referenced at DFARS PGI 215.300.

41. Section M of the solicitation states that “the method of evaluation used by the Contracting Officer is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.” Will the government please provide additional details regarding the scope, process, and parameters of the Contracting Officer’s evaluation?

Response: Offers will be evaluated in accordance with the terms of the solicitation.

42. Attachment 1 – Pricing Worksheet. There are not formulas for row 44 for a “GRAND TOTAL HOURS & FFP EXTENDED AMOUNTS for columns E, H, K, N, Q, and T. Will the government update the pricing worksheet to include the grand totals for these columns?

Response: See Part II of this amendment for the updated Pricing Worksheet Attachment I furnished hereto.

43. What criteria will the Government use to evaluate and approve/deny requests for telework? PWS 11.2 Response: The Government will evaluate based on tasks to be performed during telework and if tasks performance can meet requirements remotely. See Part II of this amendment for revisions to the PWS specifications at paragraph 11.2.

44. Does the Government intend for the JID ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES or the CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT areas of the contract to be performed on an ongoing, full time basis for all labor categories, or do the hours listed in Attachment 1 under this section represent an estimated workload?

Does the Government have a specific required number and/or distribution of full time employees vs part time employees for each labor category? Pricing Worksheet

Response: The hours identified in the Pricing Worksheet, Attachment 1 represent maximum estimated workload to be determined and ordered based on resultant task order needs. No, the Government does not have a specific required number and/or distribution of full time versus part time employees for each labor category as this is the business decision of the offeror.

45. Are all personnel on the contract considered key personnel? Will the government retain approval authority for all personnel working in support of the contract? PWS 6.4

Response: See part II of this amendment which deletes in its entirety the specifications at PWS paragraph 6.4.

47. In order to incorporate any changes to the PWS or any adjustments to proposals required by the Government's responses to industry questions, will the Government provide an appropriate extension to the deadline for proposals?

Response: Refer to Amendment 0002 which extended the closing date for the receipt of offers in response to the solicitation to 9/30/2024.

48. Please clarify. Should the LOIs go into Volume I (non-Price) or Volume II? Section m pg 115 Response: The solicitation is clear on its face. Refer to Section L provision entitled SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS (BEST VALUE/TRADE-OFF) at Section III(1)(a).

49. Please clarify or provide a more objective measure. What does “meaningful degree of relevance” mean?

Section M pg 115

Response: The solicitation is clear on its face. Past performance exhibiting a meaningful degree of relevance means past performance contracts/efforts rated somewhat relevant or higher.

50. Please provide a rating table that defines what (factors) constitutes or determines the ratings (Acceptable, Better, Less, etc.).Section M pg 120

Response: Refer to the answer to question #40.

51. Please clarify what exactly does "within the discretion of the Contracting Officer" mean, given that the 1st par of Section M states… “best value”. Section M pg 121

Response: Offers will be evaluated in accordance with the terms of the solicitation. The source selection decision will be based on a best-value trade-off.

52. Please clarify what constitutes “informalities and minor irregularities in proposals? Section M pg 121 Response: A minor informality or irregularity is one that is merely a matter of form and not of substance. It also pertains to some immaterial defect or variation from the exact requirements of the solicitation that can be corrected or waived without being prejudicial to other offerors. The defect or variation is immaterial when the effect on price, quantity, quality, or delivery is negligible when contrasted with the total cost or scope of the supplies or services being acquired.

53. Page 118 states Volume I is the Non-Price Proposal, but on page 119, it states Letters of Intent should be included as attachments to the Non-Price Proposal (Volume II). Will the Government confirm if Letters of Intent are included, they are to be included in the Non-Price Proposal (Volume I)?

Response: The solicitation is clear on its face. Refer to the Section L provision entitled, SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS (BEST VALUE/TRADE-OFF) at Section III(1)(a).

54. Could you please clarify if the pricing for each CLIN in Section B, particularly for the JID Academic and Curriculum Support CLINs, should be directly derived from the totals in the Pricing Worksheet? Should I include my instructor's Fully Burdened Rate (FBR) Hourly rate in this pricing, or is there a specific format or methodology you prefer for calculating these totals?

a. Response: The solicitation is clear on its face. Refer to the Section L provision entitled SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS (BEST VALUE/TRADE-OFF) Section III(2) and the Pricing Worksheet, Attachment 1 as amended hereto.

55. Can you please confirm if this solicitation is subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA) and, if so, whether a Wage Determination applies? If it is SCA-covered, will you provide guidance on how to incorporate the Wage Determination rates into our pricing?

a. Response: The solicitation is clear and it face and not subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards (previously referred to as the Service Contract Act).

56. Due to the time required to ensure a thorough and accurate proposal, we respectfully request an extension of the submission deadline. Additional time would allow us to address all requirements in detail and ensure compliance with all necessary regulations. Will you please consider granting additional time for proposal submission?

a. Response: Refer to Amendment 0002 which extended the closing date for the receipt of offers in response to the solicitation to 9/30/24.

57. Will you please clarify if the omission of resumes or letters of intent in our proposal, given that they are not required in the solicitation, would count against us during the evaluation process?

a. Response: The solicitation is clear on its face.
