INDUSTRY QUESTIONS GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

1 RFP N6449821R40021, Section L.3. Proposal Content and Organization, Page 153 does not require a cost proposal. Although on page 143 Exhibits/Attachments – Attachments 1 Cost Summary Template. Is a Cost proposal required?

A cost proposal is not required; however, in order to set the ceiling of the base contract, the Cost Summary is required. This cost summary will not be evaluated.

2 Previous RFP N64498‐17‐R‐5019 ‐ Factor 3: Small Business Participation Commitment, Page 127 states, “The baseline small business Minimum Quantitative Requirement (MQR) for small business is 10% of the total proposed contract value”. RFP N6449821R4021, Factor 3 SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING COMMITMENT Page 155, Identifies the MQR as 40% of the total contract value. Is 10% the correct value for the MQR for small business under RFP N6449821R4021?

The MQR has been updated in Sections L and M for Factor 2 to reflect 10% of the Total Contract Value.

3 Request the government remove the requirement for minimum SECRET clearance at time of proposal submission, as this is a material change to the original solicitation requirements being invoked in an on‐ramp.

The Government has removed the requirement for the SECRET clearance at the time of proposal submission, and revised to be consistent with the previous RFP – at the time of award.

4 Request the government provide specific security clearance requirements only at the Task Order level.

Basic security requirements are set at the base level and will flow down to the TO level, as applicable. This is the same as the current base contracts.

7 Request the government modify/revert the on‐ramp solicitation to reflect the original Solicitation requirements of: Minimum Quantitative Requirement (MQR) for small business participation equal to or greater than 10% of the Total Contract Value (TCV).
