N3654A-15-R-9001 Questions and Answers 21 November 2014
#Question(s)Answer(s)Reference(s)
1Can you advise if there is a particular motivation to limit the requirement to foreign flag carriers only? Is there a prohibition restricting US registered aircraft flying certain routes in the theater?There is not a limit to foreign flag carriers. U.S. and foreign flag carriers must be DoD approved and certified by the DoD Commercial Air Review Board (CARB). Please see amended Statement of Work (SOW).Statement of work Section 1.2 para 1.2.3
2Has a contractor performed similar work to this for the government in the past? If available, please provide the incumbent contract number.
Yes a contractor has performed similar work in the past. The contract number is N3654A-13-A-9002.N3654A-13-A-9002
3With reference to Section C, paragraph 1.2.3, can the Offeror interpret the requirement for the aviation contractor to be CARB certified to apply to a teaming partner and not the Offeror? In other words, does the Offeror need to be a CARB certified air carrier to be considered for award for operations originating on the African continent?The aviation contractor (Prime Contractor or Sub-Contractor) must be DoD Commercial Air Review Board (CARB) certified. Example: the offerer does not have to be CARB certified however the offerers subcontractor (aviation contractor) must be CARB certified. The offeror (Prime Contrator) can be the aviation contractor or non-aviation contractor. Per SOW section 1 para 1.1.2 the Prime Contractor shall be the Point of Contract (POC).Statement of work Section 1 para 1.1.2 and Section 1.2 para 1.2.3
4Alternatively, can the teaming partners for the Prime Contractor be CARB certified while the Prime Contractor is not? International SOS currently provides medical evacuation support for the DoD through a network of credentialed and audited providers. Section C, paragraph 1.1.2 appears to indicate that an aviation contractor can play a subcontracted role. Please confirm.The aviation contractor can play a Sub-Contractor role. The aviations contractor can play a Prime Contractor role. If the Prime Contractor is not an aviation contractor, the Prime Contractor is required to provide an aviation contractor (Sub-Contrator) that is CARB certified. Per SOW section 1 para 1.1.2 the Prime Contractor shall be the Point of Contract (POC).Statement of work Section 1 para 1.1.2 and Section 1.2 para 1.2.3
5Does this requirement apply to a foreign operator, as long as the aircraft provider is operating within the local CAA regulations and is certified to provide services to the DoD?The Prime Contractor (U.S. or Foreign) does not have to be CARB certified if the prime contractor is not the aviation contractor. The Prime Contractor (U.S. or Foreign) is required to provide a (U.S. or Foreign) aviation contractor (Sub-Contractracor) that is CARB certified.Statement of work Section 1.2 para 1.2.3
6How will the government compare pricing in accordance with the evaluation criteria in Section M, 52.212-2(a)(ii)? For example, types of aircraft identified in the SOW can vary and pricing is dependent upon a number of factors related to a specific evacuation. Can the Offeror simply provide a historical set case studies and associated costs for the Government to evaluate?The offeror may provide historical set case studies and associated costs for the Government to evaluate if the Contractor plans to make most current prices based on historical costs. All costs/prices will be compared to current market trends.N3654A-13-A-9002 Section M, 52.212-2(a)(ii)
