(b) Government Furnished Information
| Page 44 | On page 44 item (b) of the RFP states that the Government shall furnish only the GFI identified in an attachment in Section J. Of the Attachment J files, none lists the GFI to be provided. Please provide this information. | As stated in Section L, the GFI/drawings will be provided to Offerors directly upon written request to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer. Section J has been updated to further clarify this. | |||
| 14 | 5/13/20 | CDRL List, A011 | The DD-1423-1 for CDRL A011 Tech Manual Source Data Updates, Revisions/Updates to Source Data states that the deliverable shall be created using MS Office, but the ETM source files that would be updated will be in XML or SGML file formats with accompanying development source files in the ETM package. Will all ETM source files to be updated be provided as GFI, or will the contractor be required to create updates/revisions to the XML/SGML ETMs in MS Word? | All GFI source files will be provided. The contractor would be updating or reach back for changes and source updates could be in contractor format or whatever the DID calls out. | |
| 15 | 5/13/20 | Section L / Attachment J-S-1 | RFP Section L allows the offeror to provide category average rates vs. named employees. Attachment J-S-1, Price Cost Template, Cost Elements column is pre-filled with "Employee Name 1, 2, 3, n". Should the offeror providing category average rates substitute the labor category name in this location instead of a named employee? | While it is acceptable to provide category averages when named employees cannot be provided, Offerors are encouraged to use named employees where possible. | |
| 16 | 5/13/20 | Attachment J-S-1 | Offerors are directed to apply burdens and profit to total Government estimates for CLIN 0002, 0003, 0004, and 0005 on Attachment J-S-1. Offerors typically calculate burdens on a annual basis, with forward pricing estimates potentially changing over time. Should offerors assume the total estimates provided with year 1 burden rates, or spead total estimates evenly across all 5 years, and apply applicable burdens correspondingly? | Offerors should spread total estimates evenly across all five years and apply applicable burdens correspondingly. | |

| 18 | 5/13/20 | Section L, Section M | The labor category, MATERIAL COORDINATOR (eCraft 21030) is associated with a SCA WD rate for 21030 that is significantly higher (almost 3x) than than the BLS category assigned for 51-2020, Electrical, Electronics, and Electromechanical Assemblers at recommended 25%. The concern arises due to the statement in Section M, that rates may be adjusted upwards by the government during cost realism analysis, starting with the SCA WD rate. Please confirm appropriate SCA code for WD analysis that is commesurate with the BLS code and percentile recommeded for this labor category. | For the Material Coordinator labor category, the BLS category has been revised to 51-2028 at the 75th percentile. Section L and Attachment J-S-1 have been revised accordingly. | |
| 19 | 5/13/20 | CDRL A025 | The DD-1423-1 for CDRL A025 Provisioning Technical Documentation states that the deliverable shall be created using MS Office, but the PTD source files that would be updated will be in .pcs (ICAPS) file formats and delivered as a Design Change Notice to an existing PCCN/APL. Will all PTD source files to be updated be provided as GFI, or will the offeror be required to create new ICAPS files, which will require the assignment of new PCCNs? | All GFI source files will be provided. The contractor would be updating or reach back for changes and source updates could be in contractor format or whatever the DID calls out. | |
| 20 | 5/13/20 | CDRL A033 & A034 | The DD-1423-1 for CDRL A033 and A034 MRC/MIP states that the deliverable shall be created using MS Office, but the PMS source files that would be updated will be in SGML file format (PMS Editor). Will all PMS MIP/MRC source files to be updated be provided as GFI, or will the offeror be required to perform all 12 phases of the process as a new effort, publish the outputs in .pdf and convert to MS Word? | All GFI source files will be provided. The contractor would be updating or reach back for changes and source updates could be in contractor format or whatever the DID calls out. Full RCM would not be needed unless there are big enough changes to change the nomenclature. |

Management Analyst 13-1110 does not have a BLS percentile specific to this BLS code. Are we to use the Management Analyst 13-1111 for both listings? | Offerors are welcome to use the BLS information for 13-1111 for 13-1110, if they so chose as both appear to be identical.
