SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The following have been modified:

GENERAL INFORMATION

Control #: 170283

PR #: 1300571732

Electronic proposal submission is required per Solicitation Provision UW L-2-0001 by 02:00 PM EST

08/04/17.

Deadline for Industry Submission of Questions is hereby established. The deadline for RFP questions submission is 07/24/2017 – 02:00 PM EST. After this date and time, the Government may not respond to questions received.

CONTRACT TYPE

The Government contemplates award of an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract

(MAC) with Firm Fixed Price, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, and Cost provisions. After planned MAC award, all subsequent task and delivery orders will be competed among qualified contractors in accordance with FAR 16.505, unless one of the exceptions to fair opportunity at FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i) applies. Individual orders under this contract may be issued on a term or completion basis.

The contract resulting from this solicitation will have a ceiling of $49,970,803.00

As referred to in paragraph (b) of the clause entitled, Indefinite Quantity (FAR 52.216-22), the contract maximum ceiling for all multiple awards combined is $49,970,803.00. This ceiling amount represents the total contract dollar value. Since this solicitation may result in multiple awards, cumulative orders issued to all contractors cannot exceed the total contract ceiling of $49,970,803.00.

Guaranteed Contract Minimum Amount: The Government’s minimum obligation will be satisfied with an initial

$2,500 Firm Fixed Price Order to participate in a Post Award Conference (CLIN 0001).

NAICS AND SIZE STANDARD

This requirement is being solicited as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 541712. The Small

Business Size Standard is 1000 Employees.

The purpose of Amendment 2 is as follows:

1. Answer Questions #16 - #19 posed by Industry (see below).

Amendment 1 (Answers to Questions posed by Industry)

1. Will the contractor be allowed to use labor categories not included on the NUWC Website or in the SCA labor category descriptions?

A) No, Labor Categories cited must be titles listed at the NUWC Division Newport Contracts

Website per the RFP. SCLS (Formerly SCA) does not apply to this acquisition as its principle purpose is not to furnish services.

2. UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors - On page 89 of the solicitation regarding pricing it states “Offerors are encouraged to use the spreadsheet at the following link: http://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/Warfare-

Centers/NUWCNewport/Partnerships/Commercial-Contracts/Information-eCraft-/Cost Price -Analyst/”. Will the use of a spreadsheet other than the one provided at this link result in a down grade or otherwise impact the evaluation of the Offeror’s submission”?

A) No, Offerors are encouraged to use this spreadsheet, but failure to do so in upon itself will not result in a downgrade or otherwise impact the evaluation of the Offeror’s submission.

3. RFP Clause UW C-2-0002 CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS FOR PERFORMANCE ON A GOVERNMENT

SITE (MAR 2017) implies that some work will be performed at Gov’t Site, but RFP 3.2 (a)(3) PERSONNEL (p.86) states “The Government anticipates that 0% of hours proposed will be Government site, and 100% of hours proposed will be contractor site.” Can the Government verify that all work should be proposed as CONTRACTOR site? If some work is to be performed at GOVT SITE, can USG identify which work and how much?

A) Section 3.2 Personnel (p.86) applies to SOW Task 4.2 which the Govt. anticipates that 0% of hours proposed will be Government site, and 100% of hours proposed will be contractor site. Clause UW C-

2-0002 CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS FOR PERFORMANCE ON A GOVERNMENT SITE (MAR

2017) deals with badging and security procedures that may be necessary during the course of the contract for deliveries, installation, and meetings.

4. UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors - 3.1.2 Subfactor 2 SAMPLE TASK – states that SAMPLE TASK shall not exceed 10 pages, and is part of Technical Proposal (Vol II, 15p max). That leaves only 5 pages for the entire

Subfactor 1 Technical Approach. Is the 10p max allotted for SAMPLE TASK part of the 15p max for Vol II

Technical Proposal, or is the 10p max for SAMPLE TASK in addition to the 15p max Technical (for a total of 25p max)?

A) Amendment 1 will increase the Technical Proposal Volume II from a 15 page total limit to a 20 page limit. The Sample Task page limit (which is part of the Technical Proposal) remains 10 pages.

5. UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors - 3.2(a)(1) PERSONNEL p. 86 – states “for Service Contract Labor

Standards (SCLS; formerly Service Contract Act (SCA)) Labor Categories Only: Offerors may propose an SCA labor category listed in the SCA Directory of Occupations (see http://www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts/sca.htm) even if the SCA labor category is not listed at the NUWC Division Newport Contracts Website. Is this a DOL/WD SCLS

(SCA) contract? If yes, what state will be used for DOL/WD? Can USG provide WD for the appropriate state?

A) No, SCLS (Formerly SCA) does not apply to this acquisition as its principle purpose is not to furnish services.

6. Regarding UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors - 3.2 Personnel (p.86) which volume does Personnel (Factor 2) go in? If it goes in the Volume II Technical Proposal is the Personnel (Factor 2) in addition to the 15-page limit in

Vol. II Technical Proposal, or is it included in the 15-page limit for that volume?

A) Personnel (Factor 2) goes in Vol. II. And is part of the page limit for Vol. II Technical Proposal.

However, Amendment 1 will increase the 15 page limit to 20 pages.

7. UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors - 4.0(h) COST/PRICE (p. 90) Supporting Documentation Requirements:

states “… For materials offerors shall describe their methodology for ensuring prices are fair and reasonable. The prime contractor shall be responsible for justifying the reasonableness of each subcontractor or material costs.” If offeror is required to propose the ODC/Material and Travel NTE award values listed in 4.0(f), then why must prime offeror justify fair/reasonable price?

A) The offeror does not have to justify fair/reasonable pricing for any Plug NTE CLINs.

8. UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors - 4.0(a) COST/PRICE (p.88) states “Cost or pricing data and information other than cost or pricing data, from both the prime contractor and all subcontractors performing any part of the level of effort, shall be provided via email and in the format outlined below (see FAR 52.215-20 Alt I). Is this an email requirement separate from the RFP 1.3 Submission Requirements stating “each Offeror shall submit its entire proposal electronically”?

A) No it is not separate.

9. UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors - 4.0(b) COST/PRICE (p.88-89) states “------ Offerors shall provide a level of effort by labor category for CLIN 0002 and CLIN 0003 including subcontractor labor categories using eCRAFT categories”. Can the Government elaborate on requirement to “provide a level of effort” for CLIN 0003?

A) Reference to CLIN 0003 is removed.

10. Can the Government provide a copy of DI-ILSS-81076 that supports CDRL A002 Training Evaluation Plan, or direct offeror to a site where it can be downloaded? Offeror has located DI-PSSS-81524C Training Evaluation

Document (dated 20141120, PMA-205), but it does not specifically state that it supersedes DI-ILSS-81076.

A) Regarding CDRL A002 - The Government confirms that DI-ILSS-81076 has been superseded by

DI-PSSS-81524C.

11. For pricing purposes, what is the anticipated award date of this effort?

A) December 31, 2017.

12. Please clarify whether or not an SDP is required, whether or not Software Development/CMMI or equivalent experience is required, and what the evaluation factors are if so.

A) A software Development Plan is not required. Clause: HQ C-2-0065 SOFTWARE

DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS (NAVSEA)(SEP 2012) has been removed.

13. UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors - Page 90 of the RFP indicates that “offerors shall provide the Basis of

Estimate (BOE) supporting the costs/prices provided in the Cost/Price Summary…” Please clarify whether this applies only to the CPFF CLIN, or both CPFF and FFP CLIN.

A) Basis of Estimate (BOE) applies to only the CPFF CLIN.

14. UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors - Page 82 of 98 of the RFP indicates a technical volume limit of 15 pages.

Page 85 of 98 indicates the Sample Task page limit shall not exceed 10 pages. Please clarify if the government anticipates the following sections within the remaining 5 page limit: details of how the work will be performed, details of processes/techniques to mitigate risk, detailed description of acquisition processes, personnel labor matrix and explanation of how the matrix correlates to SOW Task 4.2.

A) Amendment 1 will increase the Technical Proposal Volume II from a 15 page total limit to a 20 page limit. The Sample Task page limit (which is part of the Technical Proposal) remains 10 pages.

15. SOW 4.4 Training System & Simulation Development, states “The contractor shall develop blended training solutions to include Interactive Courseware (ICW), IMI and VTT, Three Dimensional Knowledge Objects (3KO), simulations, Operations and Casualty Control Simulations (OCCS), and virtual world technologies. The contractor shall develop and deliver adjudication matrices post review and throughout the product development until final

Government Acceptance. Is the use of the term Three Dimensional Knowledge Objects (3KO) meant to suggest the use of the NGRAIN tool and its 3KO object file format? Or is it meant as a generic reference to suggest capabilities similar to those inherent with the 3KO format?

A) Three Dimensional Knowledge Objects (3KO) is meant to suggest the use of the NGRAIN tool and its 3KO object file format.

Amendment 2 (Answers to Questions posed by Industry)

16. Request clarification on unit of measure that shall be used for CLIN 0002 (CDRL A002) Training Evaluation

Plan labor loading? CDRL states an estimate of 11 TEPs per year, but neither the SOW nor CDRL stipulate how many of hours of curriculum per TEP.

A) The Unit of Measure for CLIN 0001 is in fact "Hours". Neither the SOW nor CDRL stipulate how many hours of curriculum per TEP as it is unknown at this time and will be addressed specifically at the individual Task Order level. Historically the range has been as long as 70 training days and as short as 1 training day. A rough average of current in-production training days is approximately 17.4 training days.

17. UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors 4.0(d) COST/PRICE states “… Offerors shall use a labor estimate of

103,680 hours for CLIN 0002. But then states “…Offerors shall fill in the total labor hours in Section H Clause

5252.216-9122 “Level of Effort”, paragraph (a), if the proposed total labor hours differ from those already indicated in the clause. ------ CLAUSE 5252.216-9122 LEVEL OF EFFORT (DEC 2000) states “(a) The Contractor agrees to provide the total level of effort specified in the next sentence in performance of the work described in Sections B and C of this contract. The total level of effort for the performance of this contract shall be 103,680 total man-hours of direct labor. Is offeror free to propose CLIN 0002 labor hours different than the quantity of 103,680?

A) No.

18. Clarification of Question 1 (Amendment 1) - Request the Government clarify that labor categories may be selected from either the NUWC Website or the SCA Directory of Occupations. (Note: Offeror understands that this contract is not an SCA contract per Amendment 0001, Answer 5.)

A) Yes, that is correct labor categories may be selected from either the NUWC Website or the SCA

Directory of Occupations as stated in UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors -3.2 Personnel (a) (1) p. 86.

19. Will this Solicitation also be posted in the Seaport-E Portal?

A) No.
