| N61340-20-R-0116 | |||
| Question | Answer | ||
| 1 | Will the government accept a proposal based upon a facility which has yet to be built at the time of award? | Pursuant to the Section L, Part B of the RFP, A proposal must describe the offeror's ownership interest, lease interest, or otherwise unencumbered right to operate their turnkey facility for the duration of the contract including the Extended Option period in accordance with PWS paragraph 8.1. Furthermore, as indicated in the RFP, the offeror must be fully operational to meet the requirements of the PWS within 30 calendar days from the contract award. Therefore, if an offeror will not have a facility available for use within the time period described in the RFP and the PWS, their proposal's technical rating will be categorized as "unacceptable" thus making their proposal ineligible for award. Finally, as described in Section L, Part A of the RFP, a facility inspection is required prior to contract award. If an offeror is not able to provide the government access to the facility where performance will commence upon contract award (for example, if the facility is not yet built) and meet the requirements in the facilities inspection, then the PCO will make a non-responsibility determination, making the proposal ineligible for contract award. | |
| 2 | Will the government allow the contractor to commence the contract with one facility and then transfer to another facility which has yet to be built or completed at the time of award? | A technically acceptable proposal describes how the offeror intends to meet the requirement to implement a mobilization plan and be fully operational to meet the requirements of the PWS 30 days from issuance of contract award and prior to commencement of training in accordance with PWS paragraph 4.3. Should an Offeror indicate, in its proposal, that: it cannot or will not meet any PWS or SPEC requirement; provide an approach that clearly is not capable of meeting any PWS or SPEC requirement; or, include data which prompts the Government to question the Offeror's ability to comply with any PWS or SPEC requirement, the Government, may determine, at its discretion, that the Offeror's proposal is non-compliant, and therefore, ineligible for award. If an offeror is not able to provide the government access to the facility where performance will commence upon contract award (for example, if the facility is not yet built) and meet the requirements in the facilities inspection, then the PCO will make a non-responsibility determination, making the proposal ineligible for contract award. | |
| 3 | Is it a requirement that the contractor’s facility is complete and operational at the time of award? | A technically acceptable proposal describes how the offeror intends to meet the requirement to implement a mobilization plan and be fully operational to meet the requirements of the PWS 30 days from issuance of contract award and prior to commencement of training in accordance with PWS paragraph 4.3. Should an Offeror indicate, in its proposal, that: it cannot or will not meet any PWS or SPEC requirement; provide an approach that clearly is not capable of meeting any PWS or SPEC requirement; or, include data which prompts the Government to question the Offeror's ability to comply with any PWS or SPEC requirement, the Government, may determine, at its discretion, that the Offeror's proposal is non-compliant, and therefore, ineligible for award. If an offeror is not able to provide the government access to the facility where performance will commence upon contract award (for example, if the facility is not yet built) and meet the requirements in the facilities inspection, then the PCO will make a non-responsibility determination, making the proposal ineligible for contract award. | |
| 4 | Subparagraph 1 of Paragraph 1 of Part B references “the Extended Option period in accordance with PWS paragraph 8.1.” The document entitled” PNW3 Attachment 1 Performance Work Statement 071420 Final signed” does not include the referenced clause, and we are unable to find this clause in any of the other posted documents. Please advise the location of the referenced “Extended Option period” requirement, and if necessary provide the relevant document. | Reference RFP N6134020R0116 p.3 (Section B), Reference RFP N6134020R0116 p.24 (Section F), Reference RFP N6134020R0116 p.32 (Section I), Reference RFP N6134020R0116 p.40 (Section L), Reference RFP N6134020R0116 p.45, 46 (Section M). | |

| 6 | The PWS states that all instructors shall undergo a medical and psychological screening IAW NETCINSTR 5100.1 (series) Appendix 9-H and 9-I.

Please provide the relevant text of NETCINSTR 5100.1 (series) Appendix 9-H and 9-I, or alternatively, provide details of the screening requirements. | See updates to PWS 7.6 and 7.7 | |
| 7 | If the government chooses to allow the contractor to commence the contract with one facility and then transfer to another facility which has yet to be built or completed at the time of award, what is the maximum acceptable interval between the cessation of training at the old facility and the commencement of training at the new one? | There shall be no impact to the Government training schedule for a contractor change facilities. As described in PWS 2.6 and 4.3, a change or modification to the facility requires the submission of CDRL A004 and an evaluation by NETC. | |
