SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

Question 1: Under Section L paragraph 5.0 Volume II Subfactor B: PSE/FMP Capabilities, bullet number three:

“Describe approach, method, labor (categories and man-hours), equipment, special tools, and material required to perform each of the specification items. “

Which “specification item” should we address since no specification items are provided in the solicitation?

Response: Section L, paragraph 5.0, Volume II, Subfactor B: PSE/FMP Capabilites, bullet number three is hereby changed to read: "Describe approach, method, labor (categories and man-hours), equipment, special tools, and material required to perform PSE/FMP Capabilities."

Question 2: Under Section L paragraph 5.0 Volume II Subfactor B: PSE/FMP Capabilities Bullet number four, “Identify any potential difficulty (by specification item) that may be encountered and the corrective action that would be taken. Only difficulties that could impact the critical path are to be identified.

Which “specification item” should we address since no specification items are provided in the solicitation?

Response: Section L, paragraph 5.0, Volume II, Subfator B: PSE/FMP Capabilites bullet number four is hereby changed to read: “Identify any potential difficulty during PSE/FMP availabilites that may be encountered and the corrective action that would be taken. Only difficulties that could impact the critical path are to be identifed.

Question 3: Since our QMS is already approved by SWRMC, do we have to submit a full QMS or just an approval letter, and how far in advance?

Response: In accordance with Section L, the offeror must provide documentation that the offeror’s QMS is in accordance with NAVSEA Standard Item 009-04 and either:

a) has been approved by SWRMC QA (approval letter) or

b) provide documentation that the offeror’s QMS has been submitted to SWRMC QA prior to the solicitation’s closing date at time.

Question 4: The solicitation states: “For past performance information that has a completed CPARS evaluation in PPIRS, the offeror is only required to complete Section A of the Past Performance Questionnaire”. However, Attachment 1, Section A – Item 6 requests the method and date questionnaire is sent to the POC. If we have CPARS does the questionnaire have to be sent to a POC?

Response: The solicitation is hereby amended to read: “…the offeror is only required to complete questions 1 - 5 of Section A of the Past Performance Questionnaire."
