Q2: Page 71 of 80, Section L.7 (1) Factor 1, Technical Approach, Para 2 of the Solicitation: Do the copies of our CMMI SVC Level III and CMMI DEV Level III appraisal and/or certificate count towards the 44-page count limit on our Technical response?

A2: No, certification copies do not count as part of the 44-page limit.

Q3: Page 71, Section L.5 – Content of Proposal, Paragraph “d” of the Solicitation: The RFP specifies a general 12-point font size for text. Will the Government allow the Offeror to use:

10-point font for tables?

Q4: Page 60 of 80, Section J – List of Document, Exhibits and Other Attachments, Appendix: This section references three Appendices (Business Systems, acronyms, and Commercial and Industrial Certification Utilization. These appendices do not appear to be included in the RFP documents. Can the Government please provide or clarify?

A4: Appendices (A, B, and C) on Page 60, Section J of the Solicitation have been removed.

Q5: Page 40 of 80, Section H.8 No Sofa Sponsor, of the Solicitation: The referenced paragraph indicates that contractors will not be sponsored under the SOFA Treaty. However, Page 49 of 80, Section I – Contract Clauses in the Solicitation includes 252.225-7976, Contractor Personnel Performing in Japan, which implies that SOFA will be applicable to contractors working in Japan. Can the Government please confirm?

A5: Section H.8 No SOFA Sponsor on Page 40 of 80 was removed from the Solicitation. DFARS Contractor Personnel Performing in Japan (DEVIATION 2018-O0019) (AUG 2018) should be used for contractor personnel performing in Japan.

Q6: Page 5 of 80, Section C.1.3. Scope, Paragraph 2 of Amendment 0001: states in part that the contractor may be required to possess one or more of the following credentials at the individual task order level:

ISO 9001:2000

ISO 9001:2008

CMMI Level III (or higher) – Dev, etc.

Are these credentials mandatory for the Prime or will the government accept these credentials from the proposed team composition on the individual task order response(s)?

A7: There is no specific number or mix of past performance references required by the prime vs proposed subcontractor(s).

Q8: Page 38 of 40, Secion L.7 (1) Factor 1, Technical Approach of Amendment 0001: "Offerors shall also describe relevant Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) or equivalent model-based process maturity certification. As a part of this description, offerors shall identify the granting organization, applicable model, level achieved and provide a copy of the appraisal and/or certificate"

To maximize participation and competition, would the Government accept Subcontractor certification in CMMI in lieu of Prime certification?

A10: Yes, contractors will be permitted to add subcontractors at the task order level to accommodate emerging requirements.

Q11: Page 37 of 40, Section L.7 (1) Factor 1, Technical Approach of Amendment 0001: We believe it will be difficult for most 8(a) businesses to meet the CMMI certification requirement, which may impact the competitiveness of this acquisition. Will the Government:

a) Consider removing or revising this requirement?

b) Allow offerors to meet the certification after award?

c) Confirm that certification requirements can be met through teaming arrangements (i.e., a subcontractor with the appropriate certification).

A11: For questions A, B, and, C: CMMI is not absolutely required; CMMI and any other certifications that support the functional areas will be used in evaluating an offeror’s ability to perform the requirements.

Certification through teaming arrangements will be considered as well as equivalent and/or other certifications will be considered. Prime certifications will be rated higher than team member certification.

Q12: Page 37, Section L.7 (1) Factor 1, Technical Approach of Amendment 0001: Will the Government consider ISO 9001:2015 certification in lieu of a CMMI certification?

A12: Yes, the solicitation includes options for equivalent or alternate certifications.

Q13: Page 71 of 80, Section L.5, Paragraph d. of the Solicitation: Do Graphs, Charts and Tables also have to meet the 12-point font requirement or can they have a smaller font limit?

A13: The Government will allow the Offeror to use 10-point font for tables and 8-point font for graphic.

Q14: The solicitation references multiple locations including OCONUS sites. Yet, the pricing sheet only allows for one bare rate per labor category. Is one location the primary place of performance and all the other sites TDY locations? If not, shouldn’t there be a separate rate for each location?

A14: The location referenced in Amendment 0001 of the Solicitation, Page 8 of 40, Section C.2.7 Travel / Temporary duty (TDY) are indeed travel locations and not primary place(s) of performance.
