Question 3:

Section M. Evaluation Factors For Award, Item 6 states that the proposal will be evaluated on the bidder’s plan for submission of Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) data. The statement of work does not include this activity. Please clarify whether the contractor will be required to prepare and submit GWAS data to the NIH-designated GWAS data repository or whether this evaluation factor does not apply to this solicitation.

Answer 3:

The Contractor will not be required to prepare or submit GWAS data. This evaluation factor has been removed. Please reference the solicitation updates above.

Question 4:

Business Proposal Instructions, p. 88, Section L.2.c.4 Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other than Certified Cost or Pricing Data, FAR Clause 52.215-20 (October 2010). The text inserted for Alternate I (October 2010) of FAR Clause 52.215-20, Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other than Cost or Pricing Data (October 2010) states “The format specified in paragraph L.2.c.4. Certified Cost or Pricing Data, subparagraph 3. Formats for Submission of Line Item Summaries shall be used for the submission of cost data” but subparagraph 3. Formats for Submission of Line Item Summaries format instruction appears to be missing from the solicitation.

Please provide the text for subparagraph 3 Formats for Submission of Line Item Summaries instructions.

Answer 4:

The subparagraph 3. is provided below:

Formats for Submission of Line Item Summaries

The detailed breakdown shall be in the format as shown on the form Breakdown of Proposed Estimated Cost (plus fee) and Labor Hours (Section J, List of Attachments). For each separate cost estimate, the offeror must furnish a breakdown by cost element as indicated above. In addition, summary total amounts shall be furnished. In the event the RFP cites specific line items, by number, a cost breakdown for each line item must be furnished.
