AMENDMENT 0002

Proposal Inquiry Questions and Responses

1. What is “PIEE Solicitation Module”? How does a bidder obtain this “module” ?

Is this an electronic method of submission? How does it differ from email transmission?

Per Section B, B.22 - Offerors shall only submit electronic proposals (.pdf and .xlsx format) in response to this solicitation. Only the PIEE Solicitation Module is authorized for the submission of electronic proposals in response to this solicitation. Proposals sent via a commercial carrier, such as Federal Express, hand carried or submitted electronically (i.e. via email) using other than the PIEE Solicitation Module will NOT be accepted.

Electronic proposal submissions should be no larger than 1.9 GB per file. Offerors shall ensure that the Government has received the electronic proposal prior to the date and time specified. PIEE Solicitation Vendor Access Instructions are provided via Attachment H entitled “PIEE Solicitation Vendor Access Instructions”.

Revised Responses to Question 1:

1a. What is “PIEE Solicitation Module”?

It is a vendor portal for solicitations. The Solicitation Module is used for contracting officials to post solicitations and receive proposals from contractors/vendors, in a secure environment. See Attachment "Attachment H PIEE Solicitations - PIEE Vendor Access Instructions.pdf".

1b. How does a bidder obtain this “module” ?

The module is web-based and available at https://wawf.eb.mil/ See Attachment "Attachment H PIEE Solicitations - PIEE Vendor Access Instructions.pdf".

1c. Is this an electronic method of submission?

Yes.

1d. How does it differ from email transmission?

PIEE Solicitations is not email transmission; it is a seperate, web-based platform. PIEE Solicitations is the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) preferred electronic transmission method for time-sensitive contract submissions and related documentation. PIEE Solicitation is being used instead of email since email is not encouraged.

2. The language in L.5 on the RFP suggests that submissions should be hard copy "The Non-Cost proposal and the price proposal shall be submitted in separate binders, include only information in response to Factors 1, 2, 3, and 4 separated by tabs, as applicable..." Please advise.

Please see revised Section L.5.

Per Section B, B.22 - Offerors shall only submit electronic proposals (.pdf and .xlsx format) in response to this solicitation. Only the PIEE Solicitation Module is authorized for the submission of electronic proposals in response to this solicitation. Proposals sent via a commercial carrier, such as Federal Express, hand carried or submitted electronically (i.e. via email) using other than the PIEE Solicitation Module will NOT be accepted.
