1. Will the Government accept an electronic copy of the updated Corporate Experience table without reprinting and mailing the entire bound Corporate Experience (Vol III) and new CD?

The Government will require hard copies of the proposal submission. Additional binders are not required and change pages in lieu of a complete Volume 3.0 will be accepted per Amendment N00421- 15-R-0092-0007.

2. Will the Government accept the new Amendment 0006 SF-30 as a single electronic document without reprinting and binding the entire Executive Summary (Vol I) and new CD?

No. Hard copies will be required; however, please see Question 1 response as change pages will be accepted. Per Amendment N00421-15-R-0092-0007, offerors may provide an updated SF-30 acknowledging up to Amendment 0007 with their Volume 3.0 submission. A complete Volume 1.0 is not required in response to Amendments N00421-15-R-0092-0006 & 0007. A new CD is not required.

3. If electronic copies of the changes required of Amendment 0006 are not accepted, will the Government extend the response time because of the Fourth of July holiday?

The submission date has been extended to 08 July 2016 in accordance with Amendment N00421-15-R- 0092-0007.

4. How are we to accept Amendment 6? Does the Government expect the offeror to create a new Volume 1 to account for this amendment or can the acknowledged amendment only be provided separately in accordance with the Section L/page 4 table instructions?

Amendment N00421-15-R-0092-0007 will clarify this requirement. A signed SF-30 acknowledging up to Amendment N00421-15-R-0092-0007 can be included in the Volume 3.0 submission in lieu of an entire Volume 1.0 submission.

5. Is it the Government's intent for the offeror to create only a new Volume 3 in the quantities and format specified in Section L, Part B, Table on page 4 of Revision 6 and submit?

Yes. Offerors should follow the instructions for number of copies in Section L to submit the revised Volume 3.0. Per Amendment N00421-15-R-0092-0007, change pages are acceptable in lieu of a complete resubmission. A new CD is not required.

6. Attachment #2 Revision 3 instructions do not address the correct columns or additional columns in the revised ES-2:

- The instructions for column C direct us to provide the Contract Number, yet column C is labeled Cage Code/DUNS

- The instructions for column D call for Contract Type, but column D is labeled Prime Contract Number

- The instructions for column E call for the Contract Name, but column E is labeled Contract Title

- The instructions for column F call for an X to indicate inclusion in Corporate Experience, but column F is labeled Contract Type

- The instructions for column G call for an X to indicate inclusion in Past Performance, but column G is labeled Period of Performance

- There are no instructions for columns H through J.

- The instructions provided in Attachment 2 REV 3 appear to be for a different version of ES-2

Will the Government provide instructions to address the version of ES-2 included in Attachment 2 REV 3?

The instructions will be revised for clarification in Amendment 07.

7. The Example of ES-2 does not match either the instructions or revised ES-2, will the Government clarify whether the revised ES-2 or the Example of ES-2 is the required format?

The instructions will be revised for clarification in Amendment 07.

8. Will the Government clarify the difference, if any, between Contract Number and Prime Contract Number?

In the event the offeror was a subcontractor on a provided effort, the prime contract number (not the subcontract number) should be provided in Column D of the ES-2 document.

9. Per Amendment 0006, all offerors must submit the revised Attachment # 2, ES-2 Relevant Contract

Summary Table for Volume 3. Rather than submitting a complete Volume 3, in binders with tabs, is it acceptable to submit change pages for Volume 3, Table ES-2? Likewise, in lieu of submitting a revised

Volume 1, is it acceptable to provide an updated SF30/33?

Yes. Amendment 07 will clarify the requirements.

10. Should the overall proposal validity date be updated to reflect 180 days from the new solicitation closing date?

The overall proposal validity date remains unchanged.

11. How should the response to amendment 0006 be submitted? Email or Hardcopy? Email submittal would be more easier or more efficient but please confirm.

If hard copy, do we need to submit a binder with original and copies like Section L originally stated.

The Government will require hard copies of the proposal submission. Additional binders are not required and change pages in lieu of a complete Volume 3.0 will be accepted per Amendment N00421- 15-R-0092-0007. Offerors should follow the instructions for number of copies in Section L to submit the revised Volume 3.0; however, a new CD is not required.

12. Signing Amendment 006 is obviously required, is a cover letter stating it was signed required or is the signed amendment sufficient? If a cover letter is required, do we need to provide an updated Volume 1?

Amendment N00421-15-R-0092-0007 will clarify this requirement. A signed SF-30 acknowledging up to Amendment N00421-15-R-0092-0007 can be included in the Volume 3.0 submission in lieu of an entire Volume 1.0 submission.

13. Can the due date of July 5 be extended to consider the holiday on the day prior?

Please see response to Question 3. The response date has been extended to 08 July 2016.

Amendment N00421-15-R-0092-0007 will correct the discrepancies between revision numbers.

15. Please note the instructions of the Corporate Experience Tables do not include instructions for columns H and beyond.

Amendment N00421-15-R-0092-0007 will include revised instructions providing clarifications.
