RFP No. N01TR-19-2007 Amendment No. 01

BEGINNING WITH THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AMENDMENT, THE

SOLICITATION IS AMENDED AS FOLLOWS:

RFP No. N01TR-19-2007 – QUESTION AND ANSWER

1. Based on the information provided in Part II – Contract Clauses, pg. 30 of the RFP, it appears that the Government intends to receive bids with portions of the project bid as Cost- Reimbursement, Fixed-Price, and Time and Materials or Labor Hours. Would the Government be open to accepting a Commercial Items/Firm-Fixed Price bid for the entire project?

We strongly encourage offerors to use the proposed cost chart from Sample Task Order RFP No. 01, subparagraph G.2., on page 11 of 12 of RFP Attachment 5 (RFP PDF page 123) and to complete it in accordance with subparagraph G., Business Proposal Instructions, of Sample Task Order RFP No. 01. However, business proposals will be considered so long as they include sufficient information to allow the Government to perform a basic analysis of the proposed cost or price of the work in accordance with SECTION L, subparagraph 2.c., of the RFP.

Please note this acquisition is for research and development services and is not for commercial items or services, and the eventual task order RFPs issued under the parent contract may require cost reimbursement, not fixed price, line items.
