QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The following are answers to questions received from potential offerors.

1. Given the Christmas and New Year’s holidays that fall between solicitation issue date and offer due date, we request that offer due date be extended to 3 February 2022 to allow more time to submit responsive and competitive offers.

ANSWER: The Government is willing to extend the offer due date for two weeks to 27 January 2021 and RFP offer due date will be updated in this amendment.

2. The prepopulated # of Days for Fuel Underway (laden) and In-Port Idle on the Fuel Consumption Data

Tab of Attachment B account for the Base Year, all 4 Option years, and FAR 52.217-8. In Attachment B of previous RFP N32205-16-R-3516, the prepopulated # of Days on the Fuel Consumption were for the Base Year only. Please confirm the Fuel Consumption Data Tab has the correct number of days for Fuel Underway (laden) and In-Port Idle, and calculations should be done basis the Base Year, all 4 Option years, and FAR 52.217.

Please advise if e-mail only submissions of proposals are acceptable or if proposals must also be submitted as hard copies and two CDs or DVDs. If hard copies are required, please advise how many copies should be submitted. Additionally, please advise what content should be included on the two CDs/DVDs.

ANSWER: Proposals must be submitted via email and hard copies or CDs/DVDs are not required. Part X(h) will be revised to reflect this change in ths amendment.

4. Part X(x) of the RFP states that “Each offer shall be clearly labeled, and complete with the following parts: Critical Submission Data; Business Proposal; Technical Proposal; Past Performance Proposal;

and Price Proposal”. However Parts X(ab) and XI(2) state “Offerors do not submit Past Performance information” and “The Government will search CPARS for each offeror’s three most recent and relevant government contracts for the ocean transportation of cargo”, respectively. Please confirm the Government will review Offerors’ Past Performance in CPARS and Offerors do not need to include a separate compilation of Past Performance as a part of their Proposal?

(c) Submission of offers. (Tailored) Submit signed and dated offers to the point of contact specified in Block 7 of the SF 1449 at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation.

Offerors are advised that delays in the receipt of e-mail do occur, and the Offeror is solely responsible for timely receipt of offers by the Government regardless of any problems or delays related to computer hardware or software systems including, but not limited to, servers and firewalls. An E-mail proposal that resides on a Government server, but has not appeared in the designated E-mail inbox by the due date and time for proposal submission will be considered late. Offerors are advised that the Government may be unable to receive other types of electronic files (e.g., .zip files) or files in excess of 20 megabytes.

For electronic proposal/modifications, the only acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time and date set for receipt of offers is the receipt of the E-mail proposal, readable, in its entirety in the designated E-mail inbox by the due date and time for proposal submission. Any other timestamp or meta-data of the Offeror's sent e-mail shall not be construed as sufficient documentation of the Government's receipt of an e-mailed offer. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure the proposal has been received in the designated E-mail inbox by the due date and time.

(g) For With respect to FAR 52.215-1(d), unless offeror proposes a shorter period, by submission of an offer, offeror agrees that its offer, including any timely revisions thereto, shall remain valid until the Government makes award under this solicitation. The foregoing does not preclude an offeror from withdrawing its offer prior to award.

(h) For treatment of late proposals or modifications of proposals, see FAR 52.215-1.
