QUESTIONS & ANSWERS - ROUND 1

1. Question: Section L, paragraph 3.0 (table) provides a recommended page limit for the Sample Task of 10 Pages. In the Section L description of the volumes, under Technical Volume 2, paragraph 2.2.2 Sample Task, subparagraph 2.2.1 states that the written response to the sample task should be no more than 6 pages. Would the Government please confirm that 10 pages are recommended for the Sample Task?

Answer: The recommended page limit for the Sample Task is 10 pages. Under Technical Volume 2, paragraph 2.2.2 Sample Task, subparagprah 2.2.1, the sentence referencing a page limitation for the sample task has been removed for clarity. Please see Amendment 1.

2. Question: Section B Page 50 does not label Engineer IV (Systems) and Engineer Technician III (QA Specialist) as Key. Section C page 79 states that they are Key Labor Categories. Would the Government please confirm the categories should be considered key and if true, provide a Key to non-Key breakdown for Engineer IV (Systems)?

Answer: Engineer IV (Systems) and Engineer Technician III (Quality Assurance Specialist) are key labor categories. A key to non-key breakdown has been provided for Engineer IV (Systems). Please see Amendment 1.

3. Question: Section L 2.0 (pg. 152), 4.5 (pg. 168), and Attachment P6 item 5 note that foldout pages must not exceed 11 X 17 inches and state that Attachments P6 and P7 may require letter or legal sized paper. For formatting, printing, and the Government's ease of review, will the Government allow 11 X 17 inch paper be acceptable for attachments P6 and P7?

Answer: Yes, the Government will allow 11 X 17 inch paper for Attachments P6 and P7. Please see Amendment 1.

4. Question: SF-33 BLOCK-9 states the proposal response is due at 12:00am, 1/7/2013. Would the Government please confirm that the proposal is due at 12:00pm (noon), 1/7/2013?

Answer: The deadline for proposal submission will be 2:00pm on 7 January 2014. Please see Amendment 1.

5. Question: In Section L, page 152, section 2.0 states that graphs shall be no smaller than 10 pt. font. Is it acceptable to have graphics with text beneficial but not necessary to graphic's overall objective scaled to less than 10 pt. font?

Answer: Yes, it is acceptable.

6. Question: Section L 3.1, pg. 161 references Attachment P4 as the Past Performance Matrix but Attachment P4 contains the Past Performance Questionnaire. Would the Government please clarify if the Past Performance Matrix on page 162 is to be utilized or if there will be one provided via a separate attachment?

Answer: Section L, 3.1 incorrectly references the Past Performance Matrix as Attachment P4. The format for the Past Performance Matrix is within Section L, 3.1 and no separate attachment will be provided. Attachment P4 is the Past Performance Questionnaire. Please see Amendment 1.

7. Question: Section L, pg. 174 section 6.0 states that "If there are no exceptions, deviations or waivers, the Offeror shall provide a one-page Volume 6 in the Executive Summary stating so." Should this reference Volume 5 vice Volume 6?

Answer: Yes, this should reference Volume 5. Please see Amendment 1.

8. Question: Does the 10 page suggested limit on the Executive Summary apply only to Section (i) "concise abstract"?

Answer: The 10 page recommended page limitation applies to all of Volume 1.0.

9. Question: Block 9 of the Solicitation indicates that proposals are due at 12:00 a.m. on 7 January 2014. Can the Government please confirm if this time is accurate?

Answer: Please see the answer to Question #4.

10. Question: Section A, Number 3, states that Data CLINs are Not Separately Priced. However, the Data CLINs in Section B have a space for “Net Amt”. Can the Government please confirm that the Data CLINs are in fact Not Separately Priced?

Answer: The Data CLINs are Not Separately Priced as indicated in Section A, Number 3. The “Net Amt” within Section B is a system generated error and cannot be fixed at this time. The Government is working with the SPS Help Desk for a resolution.

11. Question: Clause 52.219-1 states the small business size standard is $35.5M. However, Clause 252.204-7007 ALT A states the size standard is $27M. Can the Government please confirm which is accurate?

Answer: The size standard is $35.5M for NAICS code 541330. Clause 252.204-7007 ALT A has been updated with the most recent version. Please see Amendment 1.

12. Question: Section L, page 152 states that graphs must be no smaller than 10 pt font and that graphic resolution should be consistent with the purpose of the data presented. Is the assumption correct that tables may also be 10 pt font and graphics must be readable?

Answer: Please see the answer to Question #5.

13. Question: Section C, page 85, qualifications for Project Manager labor category has a section (c) stating "All other Project Manager candidates must meet the following experience requirements" but seems out of place. Would the Government please clarify if there are separate requirements for Key Project Managers and Non-Key Project Managers?

The design, procurement, integration, testing, and training of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) electronic systems that meet the requirements of the Navy operating forces are the responsibility of the Program Executive Office for C4I (PEO C4I). In support of the Program Executive Office for Ships (PEO Ships), NAVSEA, and PEO C4I, the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) is tasked to design, procure, integrate, test, train, deliver and support C4I electronic Radio Communication Systems (RCSs) for ships of the U.S. Navy including, but not limited to, AEGIS destroyers and cruisers, amphibious assault ships, aircraft carriers, sea-lift ships, and other surface combatant and comparable ships. NAWCAD is tasked to perform research and development, engineering, technical and logistics support services to deliver fully integrated and tested C4I electronic radio communication systems for shipboard installation. The contractor will provide support to NAWCAD to complete this tasking.

2.0 SCOPE This contract procures support for the Integrated Communications and Information Systems (ICIS) Division (Code 4.5.10) of NAWCAD in the research, development, design, integration, testing, installation, training, and certification of shipboard C4I electronic communication systems; the research, development, design, integration, testing, installation, training, and certification of like systems at shore sites associated with the deployment of fleet support to surface ships; and the research, development, design, integration, testing, installation, training, and certification of mobile and airborne C4I electronic communication systems designed to interface with the C4I electronic architecture of surface ships.

Depending on the shipboard C4I electronic communication systems requirements the contractor will research, develop, test, evaluate, and prepare the fully integrated C4I electronic RCS for shipment to a designated shipbuilder and support the subsequent installation on board the ship. The contractor shall provide support to the shipbuilder until Ship’s Custody Transfer (SCT). Post-installation and On-the-Job Training (OJT) for the ship’s crew after SCT are also provided under the terms of this contract.

Initial work will support the RCS for one AEGIS destroyer or comparable ship. Options are included for services to support an additional 12 Navy surface combatants or comparable ships.
