In RFP N0042124R0081, Section A, page 2 of 86, under Notice to Offerors it states: “The NAICS code is 541715 and the small business size standard is 1,000 employees. However, according to the SBA Table of Small Business Size Standards, NAICS 541715 (Exception 1 – Aircraft, Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts) whose size standard is 1,500 employees, would seem to be the more appropriate size standard for this tasking.

Is the entire Management Plan per CDRL A012 to be submitted with proposals, or “some sections” as stated in SOW 3.1.3.12? If “some sections” are to be submitted, please clarify which sections shall be addressed. 2) If required, where within the proposal shall the Management Plan be included, and are there any page limitations?

7 Draft RFP

The RFP defines A “principal subcontractor” as a subcontractor who provides at least 20% of the Level of Effort (LOE) proposed (excluding the Offeror’s profit/fee) for the contract. However, the RFP generally references “subcontractor” within Volume 3 without distinguishing between a “principal subcontractor” or a “subcontractor.” The RFP also defines “principal entities” but does not refer to them in Volume 3. Will the Government clearly define requirements related to terms such as principal subcontractor/subcontractor/principal entity/offeror, especially within Volume 3?

The draft RFP was updated to address the Offeror, principal entities, and all subcontractors within Volume 3.
