Government Answers to Industry Questions (0006) (Solicitation Amendment 0004)

1. Based on the Level Of Effort associated with TO 0001 versus the total program, the amounts specified for Travel and Material in Table L-5 at the IDIQ level appear to be for the total program yet the amounts shown for TO 0001 appear to be annual amounts. Can the Government confirm whether offerors are to bid $2.17M in Travel at the IDIQ level and $385K at the TO 0001 level for the total program (resulting in yearly amounts of $434K at the IDIQ and $77K at the task order level) or is an offeror to bid $2.17M at the IDIQ level and $1,925K at the TO 0001 level for the total program (resulting in yearly amounts of $434K at the IDIQ and $385K at the task order level)? Similarly, can the Government confirm whether offerors are to bid $80K in Material at the IDIQ level and $15K at the TO 0001 level for the total program (resulting in yearly amounts of $16K at the IDIQ and $3K at the task order level) or is an offeror to bid $80K at the IDIQ level and $75K at the TO 0001 level for the total program (resulting in yearly amounts of $16K at the IDIQ and $15K at the task order level)?

The period of performance for Task Order 0001 is 12 months (Please see Table L4: Labor Required at Contract Award (Task Order 0001)). For clarification, Attachment 12 has been amended to delete Year 2, 3, 4, and 5 from the tab titled “TO 0001 Cost Spreadsheet”. Please note that for Attachment 12, all contract costs should be included in the “IDIQ Cost Spreadsheet” and “IDIQ Summary” tabs; while only the costs for the 12 months TO 0001 should be included in the “TO 0001 Cost Spreadsheet” and the “TO 0001 Summary” tabs. Please see Solicitation Amendment 0004.

Therefore, as stated in Table L5, the Offerors shall bid: $2,170,000.00 at the IDIQ level for Travel, resulting in yearly amounts of $434,000.00. The Offeror shall also bid $80,000.00 at the IDIQ level for Material, resulting in yearly amounts of $16,000.

For Task Order 0001, Offerors shall bid $385,000.00 in Travel and $15,000.00 in Material for the 12 month period.

2. Section K, 52.204-8 Annual Representations and Certifications (FEB 2016) provides that 52.227-15 Representation of Limited Rights Data and Restricted Computer Software is applicable to the solicitation, but the clause is not provided in full text in Section K. It is likely that offerors do not elect to complete this clause in the SAM, since information pertaining to this provision pertains to individual offers/proposals. Would it be acceptable to provide the clause in full text with the Section K submission?

Clause 52.227-15 has been added as full text to Section K. Please see Solicitation Amendment 0004.
