SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT #0001

Changes made to Solicitation N00421-16-R-0059 and responses to questions from industry via Amendment 0001 are outlined below. The proposal due date and time have not changed; all submissions shall be in accordance with

Block 9 of the Solicitation coverpage.

Questions and Answers

Q1: Due to the length and complexity of the SOW, and to ensure offerors have the space to thoroughly address each required element of the PWS/SOW Approach (per Section 1.1.1) and fully demonstrate the offeror’s understanding and capabilities, can the Government increase the respective page count from 30 pages to 40 pages for Section 1.1.1 (Understanding of the Work PWS/SOW Approach)?

A1: The page limit has been increased from 30 to 40 pages in Section L, L-1, Content of Proposals, Part A, 3.0

Proposal Content and Volumes, paragraph 3.3, volume 1, Section 1.1.1 (Understanding of the Work PWS/SOW

Approach) as of Amendment 0001.

Q2: On page 125, under 5252.209-9513 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST INSTRUCTIONS

(SERVICES) (NAVAIR)(JUN 1993), sub-clause (a) states, “In accordance with FAR 9.507-1, the potential conflict of interest for this solicitation in the Contracting

Officer's judgment would involve any prime contractor, subcontractor, co-sponsor, parties to a joint venture, consultant or other legal entity (1) who because of activities or relationships is unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or (2) whose objectivity in performing the contemplated contract work is or might otherwise be impaired, or (3) who has an unfair competitive advantage in regards to [Insert description of weapons system involved and contractor activities that are suspect, i.e., drafting specifications, planning requirements etc.].”

Will this sub-clause be completed upon award? If not, can the Government provide a description of weapons systems/activities of concern to permit an OCI review?

A2: 5252.209-9513 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST INSTRUCTIONS

(SERVICES)(NAVAIR)(JUN 1993), sub-clause (a) has been updated in Section L as of Amendment 0001.

Q3: On page 125, under 5252.209-9513 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST INSTRUCTIONS

(SERVICES) (NAVAIR)(JUN 1993), sub-clause (e) states, “Along with responses to this solicitation, offerors must either (1) submit the following information concerning any existing or planned contracts with, or interests in, the suppliers and/or equipment identified in Attachment [Insert attachment number]; ….”.

Can the Government confirm the reference attachment is Attachment 4, or provide the correct attachment number?

A3: 5252.209-9513 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST INSTRUCTIONS

(SERVICES)(NAVAIR)(JUN 1993), sub-clause (e) has been updated in Section L as of Amendment 0001.

Q4: Are you using the 2010 SOC definitions or the 2018 SOC definitions?

A4: The Government confirms use of the 2010 SOC definitions.

Q5: Can the offeror adjust formulas in Attachment P6 and P7 spreadsheets to ensure compliance with DCAA disclosures and estimating practices? For example, overhead is not being applied to direct labor plus fringe, and FCCM is a required field and when entered with zero the Grand Total Cost does not carry down.

A5: The offeror may adjust formulas in Attachment P6 and P7 spreadsheets to ensure compliance with DCAA disclosures and estimating prices.

Q6: Within the RFP, the requirement is to propose approximately 40 percent of the level of effort for each labor category at Government site and approximately 60 percent at the contractor site. Most offerors have different indirect rates for Government and contractor facilities along with a very specific disclosed practice for utilizing a Government-site cost center. A single individual, such as a Program Manager, can only be aligned to one cost center. Can the government confirm that the intent of providing our cost per RFP instructions is to assist in developing composite rates to support the new task order issuance process, and that during execution an individual will only be required to be billed in one cost center as per DCAA compliance requirements?

A6: The Government acknowledges that the intent of the Contractor providing fully burdened composite rates is to develop estimated labor ceilings to support new task order issuance and during execution. However, an individual will only be required to be billed in one cost center as per DCAA compliance requirements.

Q7: Who is the incumbent contractor?

A7: Please refer to Section L, L-1, Content of Proposals, Part B, 3.0 Volume 3: Price/Cost Proposal, 3.5

Government Furnished Information, subparagraph 3.5.4.

Q8: The current SCA Labor Category Qualifications do not list any education, certification, or experience requirements. From which source should the SCA Labor Category Qualification requirement for education, certification, and experience be derived?

A8: SCA Labor Category Qualifications have been mapped to the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB)

Standard Occupational Classification (SOC).

Q9: The RFP only included off-site hours for the two new labor categories (Information Security Analyst

Junior and Engineer Junior), which changes the Government/Contractor site split to 39%/61%. This differs from the stated split of 40%/60% in Section 3.1.2.1. Can the percentages in Section 3.1.2.1 be updated, or can the hours for junior LCATS be adjusted to reflect the stated 40%/60% split?

A9: Section C, 3.0 REQUIREMENTS, paragraph 3.1.2, subparagraph 3.1.2.1 has been updated to reflect a split of

39%/61% between work performed at Government sites and work to be performed at the Contractor site as of

Amendment 0001.

Q10: For the Past Performance volume, it is not clear whether contracts that do not adhere explicitly to the magnitude relevancy factors provided will be considered in the evaluation. How will contracts exceeding the specified $100 million threshold be evaluated?

A10: The government will consider all contracts provided.

Q11: Are the 2 pages for each key resume in addition to the 10 page limit for the Workforce section?

A11: The Government confirms the 2 pages are for each Key Personnel resume in addition to the 10 page limit for the workforce section.

Q12: The planned award date is October 2018, but three dates provided in Section F under Delivery

Information all reference CLINs commencing earlier in 2018. Can the Government update the dates provided in Section F to fall within the anticipated periods of performance?

A12: Delivery Dates in Section F have been updated to fall within the anticipated periods of performance as of

Q13: There are multiple references to PWS/SOW Section 3.3.6. However, Section 3.3.6 does not exist in the

RFP. References include both performance-based tables on page 4 and both performance-based tables on page 121. Can the Government please confirm that Section 3.3.6 does not exist in the PWS/SOW and references to section 3.3.6 in the performance-based tables on page 4 and both performance-based tables on page 121 are in error?

A13: PWS/SOW Section 3.3.6 does not exist and has been removed from both (Performance Based) Section B, Composite Fully Burdened Rate tables and Section L, L-1, Content of Proposals, Part B, 3.0 Volume 3: Price/Cost

Proposal, paragraph 3.5.2 tables as of Amendment 0001.

Q14: There are multiple references to Section 3.3.1, “Concept and Technology Development,” that do not align with the updated “Requirements Decomposition” title on page 27 of the PWS. These references include

Section 1.1.1.1 on page 111 of the PWS; the Relevancy Factors table on page 129 of the PWS; the Quality

Standards table on page 5 of the QASP attachment; and the Quarterly Evaluation table on page 15 of the

QASP attachment. Can the Government adjust the RFP to address the inconsistency?

A14: The RFP has been revised to replace “Section 3.3.1, “Concept and Technology Development” with

“Requirements Decomposition” in Section L, L-1, Content of Proposals, Part B, 1.0 VOLUME 1: TECHNICAL, paragraph 1.1, subparagraph 1.1.1.1, Section M, M-1 Evaluation Factors For Award (Services), PART B, paragraph

2.0 Past Performance Relevance Factors Table, Attachment 8 – QASP, Enclosure (1): Quality Standards – In-

Service Engineering by PWS (Level of Effort) Table, and Attachment 8 – QASP, Enclosure (4): Surveillance

Activity Checklist – Level of Effort & Performance Based Table.

Q15: Several areas of the RFP reference that PWS/SOW sections 3.3.3 (System Integration and Life-Cycle

Support) and 3.3.5 (Cybersecurity) will be executed against CLINS 0008-0014 (completion CLINS).

However, the LCAT listing provided in Section L for pricing does not reflect LCATs normally associated with Systems Integration, Life Cycle Support or Cybersecurity work. Can the government evaluate if those

CLIN references are as intended or if the right LCATs are included in the LOE tables provided?

A15: The labor categories have been revised as shown in the B-1 Estimated Rates Performance Based OFF-SITE and ON-SITE tables, Attachment P6, Attachment P7, and Section L, L-1, Content of Proposals, Part B, 3.0 Volume

3: Price/Cost Proposal, paragraph 3.5.2 tables as of Amendment 0001.

Q16: On page 83, Clause 5252.228-9501 Liability Insurance (NAVAIR) (MAR 1999) paragraph (d) requires:

(d) Aircraft public and passenger liability: $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, other than passenger liability; $200,000 per occurrence for property damage. Passenger bodily injury liability limits of $200,000 per passenger, multiplied by the number of seats or number of passengers, whichever is greater.

A16: Clause 5252.228-9501 Liability Insurance (NAVAIR) (MAR 1999) paragraph (d) has been updated in Section

H to reflect a removal of all values.

Q17: Section L requires each volume to be submitted in a separated binder, with tabs. The table provided appears to indicate Annexes be bundled in separate binders as well. Can the Government please confirm if a separate binder is requested for each annex, or should it be provided in the same binder as the corresponding volume for the annex.

A17: The Government requires a separate binder be used for each annex.

Q18: The RFP does not provide a requirement for an acronym list. Is an acronym list desired? If so, can provisions be made in the instruction such that the acronym list does not count against provided page limitations.

A18: Section L, L-1, Content of Proposals, Part A, Paragraph 3.2 has been updated to include acronym lists not counting towards the page limit.

Q19: The labor categories for Program/Project Analyst Journeyman and Senior both require a degree in a technical discipline. Given the function outlined for these labor categories, would the Government consider adding “Business Administration or a related Business field” as an acceptable degree for these two labor categories?

A19: “Business Discipline” has been added to both the Program/Project analyst Journeyman and Senior labor categories in Section C, PWS/SOW, paragraph 3.4.12(p) and paragraph 3.4.12(q) as an acceptable degree as of

Q20: Will the Government allow 10 pt. font for tables and graphics?

A20: As stated in Section L, Part A General Instructions, 2.0 Proposal Format, paragraph 2.1, Graphs and Tables shall be presented in no smaller than a 10 pt. font.

Additional Changes made by the Government:

1) Section B: Added B-2 Fee text for Non-Performance Based (Level of Effort) and Performance Based

(Completion) fee.

2) Section C, 3.0 REQUIREMENTS, paragraph 3.1.2, subparagraph 3.1.2.1 has been updated to reflect work performed at NAS Patuxent River at 4% as of Amendment 0001.
