1. The following question was asked “… what is to be included within this narrative” for section 1.2 Workforce. The question was answered “Offerors shall provide a narrative describing the qualifications of the program manager …” However, in Amendment 1, the Government placed this answer below section 1.2.1.3 (letters of intent) and not before the resumes themselves as shown in the table on page 91 of Amendment 1. Should the Workforce narrative be placed underneath the heading 1.2 Workforce instead of after 1.2.1.3? If the narrative should be placed under heading 1.2, can the paragraphs be renumbered to reflect the new content, i.e., 1.2.1 Workforce Narrative, 1.2.2 Key Personnel Resumes, etc.

Please follow the instructions in Section L. The Table on page 91 is just a recommended page count.

2. Section L, paragraph 1.2.1.3, page 94 of Amendment 1, says “All contingent key personnel hires shall have a letter of intent submitted under Volume 1.” In the table in section L 3.0, page 91 of Amendment 1, the letters of intent are not shown under Volume 1 Technical and do not show as part of the page count. Can the offeror submit letters of intent as an Appendix with the proposal document so as not to be counted in the page count or can the Government confirm that letters of intent are excluded from page count?

3. Question 1: In Section L, Part B, paragraph 2.5, page 97 of Amendment 2, says “Offerors shall provide written consent from their principal subcontractors and critical team members in Volume 1 that will allow the Government to coordinate their past performance issue(s) with the prime offeror.” Where should this be placed in Volume 1? Proposal instructions in Section L, Part A, paragraph 3.0, page 91 of Amendment 2, says “Proposal information must be structured such that its paragraph number/letter is identical to the Proposal Instructions paragraph number to which it is responding …” There is no paragraph number/letter listed in Volume 1 for this information. Could the Government please advise?

4. Question 2: In Section L, Part B, paragraph 4.0, page 104 of Amendment 2, says “If there are no exceptions, deviations or waivers, the Offeror is permitted to state this in Volume 1, rather than providing a separate document as Volume 5.” Where should this be placed in Volume 1? Proposal instructions in Section L, Part A, paragraph 3.0, page 91 of Amendment 2, says “Proposal information must be structured such that its paragraph number/letter is identical to the Proposal Instructions paragraph number to which it is responding …” There is no paragraph number/letter listed in Volume 1 for this information. Could the Government please advise?

5. Question 3: In Section L, Part A, paragraph 3.0 (table), page 91 of Amendment 2, says “Annex 1 - Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Disclosure and Mitigation Plans (if applicable)” and Section M, Part A, paragraph 2.0, page 108 of Amendment 2, says “If an Offeror identifies a conflict of interest, mitigation plans shall be submitted as Annex 1 and will be evaluated by the Government.” If the offeror has not identified any OCI issues and will not be submitting Annex 1, does the offeror need to state this somewhere and what Volume should this be stated in?

Please answer and include Clause 5252.209-9511 from Section K in Volume 1.
