AMENDMENT 0001 Q&A

Question 1: Please confirm that Past Performance Questionnaires are only required if a CPAR is not available.

Answer: Confirmed. Reference Section L-TXT-12 Submission of Proposals, paragraph 3.3 (b);

Attachment #7 Past Performance Questionnaires are only required if a CPARS is not available.

Question 2: The labor categories listed in Column A of Attachment 2 do not match the labor categories provided in Attachment 3 and in the table found on page 73 of the solicitation. The offeror is unable to modify the text in Column A to show the correct labor categories being proposed in accordance with the solicitation. Please provide an updated Attachment 2.

Answer: See Amendment 0001; a revised Attachment 2 Rate Sheet is provided.

Question 3: Per page 80 of the solicitation, section titled L-TXT-38 - SUBMISSION OF ELECTRONIC

PROPOSALS JUN 2017 for Volume 2 requires volume I, II, and III submitted as a pdf file. Does each sheet in

Attachment 2 need to be included as a PDF?

Answer: As stated in L-TXT-38 - SUBMISSION OF ELECTRONIC PROPOSALS paragraph (a), Volume II requires a PDF version of Volume II Price/Cost Information and a Microsoft Excel or compatible format version of Volume II Price/Cost Information. Volume II consists of a Cost Proposal which may contain additional sheets and Attachment 2 Rate sheet (each prime offeror and subcontractor shall complete and submit one copy of the Attachment 2 Rate Sheet table).

Question 4: For Attachment 2 will the Government provide instructions for Sheet 2?

Answer: See L-TXT-12 paragraph 2.1(e)(6) with regard to RFP Attachment 2. This attachment includes instructions for completion. No instructions are needed for Sheet 2, which lists the labor categories used in Column A of Sheet 1.

Answer: See revised Attachment 3 Desired Personnel Qualifications provided in Amendment 0001.

The requirements for instructors are deleted.

Question 8: Section L, paragraph 3.2 requires references for work performed by the prime offeror. If the prime offeror has no references, as in the case of a newly formed Joint Venture, will references performed by one of the JV members suffice, or should it be a reference from the Joint Venture itself

Answer: Per 13 CFR 125.8(e), the evaluation of past performance will consider work done individually by each partner to the joint venture as well as any work done by the joint venture itself previously.

Question 9: When evaluating the proposal of a Joint Venture, will the past performance of each JV member be considered the past performance of the “prime” contractor?

Answer: Yes, if the Joint Venture is proposed as the prime contractor. Also see the response to

Answer: Joint Ventures may not be populated with individuals intended to perform contracts awarded to the joint venture (see 13 CFR 121.103(h)).

Pacific. This includes access to the SSC Pacific Division Code 523's laboratory work areas to execute specific tasking related to testing and access to non-laboratory work spaces for all other tasking not performed at the contractor's facility. The Government's best estimate for the place of performance at SSC Pacific is 65%.

Office space, computers (SIPR/NIPR), administration are not provided, unless there is a bona fide need and would be identified in individual task orders. Support at the LA AFB is estimated to be 10% and would consist of meeting support for SSC Pacific employees.

Question 14: Regarding SOW para. 3.5.7, Information Repositories: Will all hardware/systems be provided as

GFE?

Answer: GFP, GFE and GFI, if deemed necessary will be specified at the Task Order level. It is anticipated that repositories will be on Government computers/servers in Government spaces. Contractor will been given access to these computers/servers as required to successfully complete tasking.

Question 18: In L-TXT-12 the solicitation states that there is a page count for Volume III without any page count for a Volume Cover and Table of Contents. Does Volume III require or allow a Cover and Table of Contents and Cover separate from the specified page count?

Answer: If desired Volume III may include a Cover and / or Table of Contents in addition to the specified page count. Nothing written in the table of contents or cover will be considered in the evaluation of offeror proposals

Question 19: Page 73: Section L 2.3 (a): Accordingly, in order to permit a rapid comparison between the anticipated labor team shown below and the offeror’s actual labor mix, each proposal must provide the following:

“(1) A statement of the offeror’s normally used nomenclature for each labor category included herein, together with a copy of the offeror’s position description for each labor category. Attachment 3, “Desired Personnel

Qualifications,” is provided to offerors for use as a guide in the preparation of cost proposals. The qualifications identified in Attachment 3 represent the Government’s estimation of the knowledge and experience necessary for successful contract performance.”

Request confirm that the offeror proposes is only required to submit a position description for LCATs that are different from the Government LCATS and that no position descriptions need to be submitted if the offeror proposes the Government labor categories.

Answer: The offeror is to provide a statement of its normally used nomenclature for each labor category proposed herein, together with a copy of the offeror’s position description for each labor category.

If the labor category nomenclature and/or position description proposed by the contractor are identical to the

Government’s labor category nomenclature and position description of knowledge and experience estimated for successful contractor performance, the contractor shall so state in the proposal submission for each labor category. No further information is requested for labor categories where the oferor indicated that the labor category nomenclature and/or position description proposed by the contractor are identical to the

Government’s labor category nomenclature and position description.

Question 20: Attachment 1 DD254 block 1b indicates Level of Safeguarding Required NONE, implying that personnel working at contractor site will not require contractor site access to classified material. Request confirmation that this is correct.

Answer: Attachment 1 DD254 block 1b is correct.

Question 21: Attachment 3 indicates the personnel qualifications are “desired.” How will the government ensure cost realism in view of this?

Answer: The Government shall evaluate the cost factor in accordance with M-TXT-06-Evaluation

Criteria and Basis for Award, specifically M-TXT-06 (d) and 2.0 Cost.

Question 22: Attachment 3 indicates Secret level security clearances are “desired” not “required.” Request confirmation.

Answer: The lack of a clearance would restrict the contractor from executing task orders that require access to classified information.

Question 23: In PWS 1.1: Within the Scope, it states: “develop/leverage a range of miniaturized and scalable

PNT solutions for small–unit manned and/unmanned platforms.” Where will this development and leveraging occur within the Acquisition process/phase?

Answer: Reference Paragraph 3.1, PNT Technology Gaps where the contractor shall investigate PNT gaps, user requirements and operational requirements. The contractor shall conduct analysis of these gaps and requirements and identify innovative/emergent PNT technology applications to address the technology gaps and requirements to satisfy Urgent Operational Needs (UONs), user needs, and other warfighting deficiencies. Tasking, if required, will be specified at the Task Order level.

Question 24: Several of the Desired Labor Qualifications do not seem to match the Labor Category. Can the government review the below five (5) labor category qualifications for accuracy against the PWS? (1)Logistics

Analyst: This qualification looks like a Technical Writer Qualification; (2) Financial Analyst: Is the Finical Analyst required to have all these Instructor/Facilitator qualifications?

(3) Administrative Analyst: This qualification looks like a Training Analyst qualification; (4) Engineering

Technician: This also looks like a Training Analyst qualification; and (5) Technical writer: This qualification looks like a Logistics Analyst qualification.

Answer: See revised Attachment 3 Desired Personnel Qualifications provided in Amendment 0001.
