Vendor Questions and Answers -

Q1. In reference to the SOW:

For the purpose of this question, a system configuration work task that does not fit into one of the four defined work unit categories (i.e., BMIDE, Workflow, Report, or Interface) is referred to as an "Other" work unit. Can there be multiple "Other" work units assigned to a Configuration Change Request (CR)? For example, assuming an autoscheduler change and a Teamcenter custom code change are each not considered part of the four work unit categories and both are required to implement a given CR, will two work units be assigned to account for those changes or will only one work unit apply as a combined "Other" category?

A1. Multiple “other” work units may be part of a single configuration change request. In the example provided there would be two “other” work units to support that configuration change request. The government will provide configuration change requests to the contractor clearly stating how many work units the configuration change request will represent. If the contractor does not agree with the government’s assessment of work units they are encouraged to provide their rationale and the team will negotiate and agree on the number of work units for the configuration change request prior to the contractor accepting the configuration change request.

Q2. In reference to the SOW:

Will the Government have sole discretion to assign work unit values to each Configuration Change Request (CR) or will the contractor team have an opportunity to provide input to that determination based on the requirement analysis performed for each CR?

A2. The examples and guidelines provided in Appendix A to the SOW were provided to give a common understanding between the bidder and the government on what a work unit consists of. The government will clearly state on the configuration change request the number of work units based on the methodology outlined in Appendix A of the SOW. If the contractor does not agree with the government’s assessment of the work units they are encouraged to provide their rationale and the team will negotiate and agree on the number of work units for the configuration change request prior to the contractor accepting the configuration change request.

Q3. In reference to the SOW:

The Offeror assumes once a CR and its derived requirements have been approved for implementation by the Government, work has been scheduled, and implementation of the CR has started any changes associated with that CR not identified in the approved derived requirements will be documented within a new CR for requirement derivation and approval. Please confirm this is a correct assumption. If not, please clarify.

A3: This assumption is correct. However, it is imperative that configuration change requests are adequately evaluated, understood, and all derived requirements have been identified prior to implementation of the configuration change request. The government understands that work evolves and unforeseen circumstances occur, however the government wants to emphasize that continuously missing derived requirements resulting in the need for issuing additional configuration change requests will be seen as poor contract performance and will be reflected on the contractor’s CPARS evaluation.

Q4. In reference to Section F of the Solicitation:

The Period of Performance (POP) for CLIN 0002 is identified as 22-NOV-2021 to 22-SEP-2022 while the POP for all other CLINs begins on 23-SEP-2021. The Offeror assumes the POP for all CLINs associated with this RFP is 23- SEP-2021 to 22-SEP-2022. Please confirm the POP for all three CLINs is 23-SEP-2021 to 22-SEP-2022.

A4. The PoP start date for CLIN 0002 is accurate as shown in the solicitation 22-Nov-2021. CLIN 0002 is an Option CLIN that may be a permanent part of the CLIN structure in the award document if the Government does not have enough FY21 funding to cover the services under CLIN 0002. At that point the Government will exercise this Option CLIN 0002 as of 22 November 2021 with a PoP end date of 22 September 2022 to correlate with the other three CLINs and the lifecycle of the purchase order.

If the Government has enough FY21 funding, then the services listed under CLIN 0002 will be merged into CLIN 0001 with a PoP of 23 September 2021 through 22 September 2022.

Q5. In reference to Section B CLIN 0001:

The Offeror assumes paragraphs identified for CLIN 0001 in Section B are meant to refer to SOW paragraphs 4.1.1, 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.1.5, 4.1.7, 4.1.8 and 4.1.9 in Section C. Please confirm the assumption is accurate. If not, please clarify.

A5. CLIN 0001 in section B should refer to SOW paragraphs 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.5, 4.1.7, 4.1.8, 4.1.9, 4.2, and 4.3 including all subparagraphs of these paragraphs. The CLIN 0001 description has been updated.

Q6. In reference to Section B CLIN 0002:

The Offeror assumes paragraphs identified for CLIN 0002 in Section B are meant to refer to SOW paragraphs 4.1.2 and 4.1.6 in Section C. Please confirm the assumption is correct. If not, please clarify.

A6. CLIN 0002 in section B should refer to SOW paragraphs 4.1.4 and 4.1.6 including all subparagraphs of these paragraphs. The CLIN 0002 description has been updated.

Q7. In reference to the SOW:

The Offeror assumes indented Section C.4.1.3.2.1.1 (PDF p. 13 first reference) should read as follows: "All developed code (eg. C++, JAVA) for the government and not part of the core eQ-Technologic applications for release, will be submitted to and reviewed by the government ISSM." Please confirm the assumption is correct. If not, please clarify.

A7: Paragraph 4.1.3.2.1.1 should read “All developed code (eg. C++, JAVA) for the government and not part of the core eQ-Technologic application for release, will be submitted to and reviewed by the government

ISSM.”

Q8. In reference to the SOW:

The Offeror assumes indented Section C.4.1.3.2.1.2 (PDF p. 13 first reference) should read as follows. "All developed code (eg. C++, JAVA) for the government and not part of the core eQ-Technologic applications for general release will be stored at the government location for configuration control purposes." Please confirm the assumption is correct. If not, please clarify.

A8: Paragraph 4.1.3.2.1.2 should read “All developed code (eg. C++, JAVA) for the government and not part of the core eQ-Technologic application for general release will be stored at the government location for configuration control purposes.”

Q9. In reference to Section L:

The participation % calculation instructs to add Total SB Contract and Subcontract Dollars divided by Total Contract Value. This calculates the Total Planned Subcontracting % and not the SB participation %. Usually the Planned SB Subcontracting % is calculated as Planned SB Subcontracting divided by Total Planned Subcontracting OR Planned SB Subcontracting divided by Total Contract Value. Please advise.

A9. The formula is used to determine the total small business participation for the overall contract: "A small business offeror shall indicate the percentage of work performed by itself, as well as by any Small Business subcontractors. Proposals submitted by Large

Business Concerns shall indicate the percentage of work performed by Small Business Subcontractors."

Therefore, the formula should be interpreted differently based on the size of the prime:

Prime is a large business:

Participation % = Total Small Business [Contract/Task Order] 0$+ Subcontract Dollars to small businesses Total [Contract/Task Order] Value

Prime is a small business:

Participation % = Total Small Business Prime portion [Contract/Task Order] + Subcontract Dollars to small businesses Total [Contract/Task Order] Value

Q10. In reference to Section L:

RFP Section L.1.3.c stipulates Volume II Pass/Fail Requirements with a one page limit. Please confirm the only requirements for Volume II submission are confirmation the Offeror complies with submission instructions in 2.1 and 2.2 (PDF p. 60) and documenting whether or not the Offeror has any OCI or potential OCI issue(s) with associated mitigation (L.2.3).

A10. The Government confirms the only requirements for Pass/Fail Volume II submission is

2.1 Complying with the page limits, formatting requirements, file format requirements, and submittal instructions of Section 1.0 through 1.3.

2.2 Provide responses to all volumes.

2.3 Identify any and all conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest related to this solicitation and provide a mitigation plan to address conflicts/or potential conflicts. If potential conflicts of interest, the offeror shall provide in their mitigation plan narrating how personnel will handle safeguarding information.

If no conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest exist, provide a written statement certifying as such.

Q11. In reference to SOW 1.1.3:

Does the 20 days of travel over the period of performance refer to 20 person days (e.g., five resources for four days each at a final test event) or 20 days per resource (e.g., N resources traveling for four-five day trips each)?

A11: The 20 days represents up to 20 total calendar travel days over the period of performance of the contract. The number or resources required to support each of the 20 calendar travel days shall be determined based on the need for the resource to support each of the travel events. Resources required for each travel event shall be reviewed and only the necessary amount of resources shall travel.

Q12. In reference to the SOW:

If a single CR drives changes to five different interfaces, would that correspond to five work units (i.e., one per interface) or just one work unit?

A12: If a single configuration change request impacts five different interfaces that is considered a single work unit. Configuration change requests will be issued to implement a piece of system functionality (e.g correction of a system defect). Therefore, it is considered that if a configuration change request alters 5 different interfaces, the changes to each of the five interfaces will all be similar (e.g. adding the same single new data element to each of the five interface). If a single configuration change request results in multiple interface changes that are dissimilar from each other and the contractor believes the work is greater than a single work unit, the contractor and government will negotiate and agree on the number of work units for the configuration change request prior to the contractor accepting the configuration change request.

Q13. In reference to Section L Given the Government's minimum requirement for 20% small business participation for Volume V, the Offeror respectfully requests an extension by at least one week to allow Offerors the ability to provide adequate time for competitive solicitation of small business subcontractors to respond with price quotes.

A13. The Government will extend the proposal due by date by one week.
