MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND

N32205-20-Q-3013

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1

The following are answers to questions received from potential offerors. The answers provide clarification only and DO NOT constitute an amendment to the solicitation.

1) Can the Government provide a link to COMSCINST 5530.3F?

ANSWER: The reference to COMSCINST 5530.3F was included within the scope for background purposes and is strictly for informational purposes only. The Government cannot provide a copy of the required instruction to interested parties. The referenced instruction is for office use only and not for public dissemination.

2) Page 29, Item 13. Statement of Equivalent Rates indicates the employee class to be a

Technical Instructor at the GS7, Step 2 pay rate of $20.74. The current wage rate determination reflects $25.94 plus H&W of $4.22 per hour. Does the WD take precedence over the Equivalent Rate?

ANSWER: Yes, the Wage Determination takes precedence over the Equivalent Rate.

As stated in clause FAR 52.222-42, Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires, it is explicitly for information only, and it is not a wage determination.

3) This RFP contains Clause 52.222-41, Service Contract Labor Standards. Can you specify the actual Wage Determination to be used? Wage Determination No.; 2015-4342 Revision No.:

14 Date of Last Revision: 12/23/2019 appears to be the most recent for the Hampton Roads area.

ANSWER: The appropriate Wage Determination – 15-4341 (Rev.-13) dated 12/23/2019

– has been included in the solicitation, as the predecessor contract included an odd numbered wage determination for the applicable labor categories.
