Question 197: RFP, Factor 1 Recent, Relevant Experience of the Firm, (5) Key Personnel, page 95. Discussion:

The Government will consider otherwise relevant projects that were performed by the offeror’s proposed key personnel; however, experience of proposed subcontractor employees, key or otherwise, will not be considered.

Question: (a) Since form J-L-02 is designed specifically to capture information about a contract and not the work experience of Key Personnel, should Form J-L-02 be utilized for Key Personnel or is a narrative description and/or resume sufficient?

Response 197: Form J-L-02 shall be used.

Question 198: J-L-02 - Recent, Relevant Experiences of the Firm Project Data Sheet, Tab 1, Factor 1 – Recent, Relevant Experiences of the Firm. Volume #1 – Technical, page 91 of 101. Would the Government define “Total Annual Value”? Is it the average of the total annual values (Example: Base plus Option Year(s)) or annual value of each period of performance?

Response 198: Total Annual Value shall be the average of all periods of performance assuming a 12-month period of performance.
