Amendment Three 6/11/2018

This amendment answers questions received regarding Solicitation N01CN77019-18, removes Section 508 contract requirements and corrects the delivering period under the applicable FAR clause.

1. I understand that we must submit a separate Excel file for each of the sample task orders and one for the Task Order 1, Kickoff Meeting. However, can we just submit one Business Proposal (PDF) combining the sample task order, Task Order 1 and all supporting documentation?

Yes, you may submit one business proposal per IDIQ pool.

2. Should the sample budget and Task Order 1 kickoff meeting be for 5 years?

For Task Order 1 “Contract Orientation and Kickoff Meeting”, please budget for the costs of one meeting, using a period of performance of approximately 11/21/2018 -12/20/2018.

For each sample task order, please refer to the appropriate SOW and Technical Proposal Instructions for the period of performance. The sample task orders have suggested periods of performance of 2-3 years.

3. May the Gantt chart depicting our anticipated project timelines be provided in an appendix and not count against page count restrictions?

Yes. Please note total page count does not include: Title and Back Page; Table of Contents, Resumes, Appendixes & Attachments; and Section Dividers that do not contain information other than title of Section.

4. For the CGMP Pool, as the product cannot be frozen after formulation, we have assumed a pre-fill stability to test product integrity prior to the fill. Does this fit in line with what NCI is anticipating?

In general, stability of a product is its ability to retain its biological, chemical, physical and other relevant properties within specified limits. Stability testing should be seen as a continuous process from the product development through licensing to post-licensure monitoring. Thus, stability tests are generally designed to obtain information on the stability of an agent in order to determine its shelf-life and utilization period under specified packaging and storage conditions. Depending on the nature of product components, stability indication parameters and frequency of testing are expected to be carefully selected.

Amendment Three 6/11/2018

5. What should the small business plan be based upon? i.e., each TO/Sample TO, total of TO’s, or maximum contract value)

Please base your small business subcontracting plan on the total IDIQ maximum ceiling value of $50 million.

6. Since TOs are not included in the page count in the Technical Volume, would it be acceptable to include them at the end of the Technical volume instead of at the end of the Technical Approach (i.e., mid-volume)?

Yes

7. For the prime contract proposal (NO1CN77019-18), do we just submit a summary budget page? Also, are cost of individual supplies needed?

Please provide a detailed budget for each sample task order, including costs of supplies. For the IDIQ SOW, describe any additional anticipated costs in the business proposal that are not captured in the sample task orders, including supplies.

8. Article H.19. ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACCESSIBILITY NOTICE HHSAR 352-239-73 (December 2015) is hereby removed.

9. Under Section J, Attachment 15 HHS Section 508 Product Assessment Template is hereby removed.

10. Under Article I.4.a.5(d), the last day for final deliveries will be on/about 11/20/2028.
