SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

A00001 QUESTIONS

Questions previously answered, if changed have been highlighted YELLOW. Questions received in response to Amendment 0001 are listed in RED.

NOTE: Some Questions have been re-numbered.

Question 1. Would it be possible for you to provide a copy of the CBA referenced on p. 76 of the solicitation?

Response: The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) has been added as an attachment.

Question 2. Would you provide the contract number and value for the current contract?

Response: Purchase Order N6883623P0156

Question 3. Will the Government please confirm that bidders must use the CBA payrates and benefits requirements for those labor categories covered by the CBA?

Response: Quoters are responsible for reading the solicitation in its entirety, including all attachments. The requirements related to CBA-covered labor categories, including applicable pay rates and benefits, are addressed within the solicitation and its attachments. It is the Quoter’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable provisions.

Question 4. Since there are current incumbent staff who have worked on this project for a number of years and accrue Paid Time Off in excess of 2 weeks (80 hours) per year, can the government please provide to all bidders the current incumbent staff hire dates (no names or positions, just their hire dates) so all bidders can accurately price the correct PTO accrual rates?

Response: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14148, which revoked EO 14055. As a result, federal contractors are no longer required to offer employment to predecessor contract employees under the nondisplacement provisions previously mandated by EO 14055

The Government is not providing incumbent staff hire dates.

Question 5: Please provide the hire dates of incumbent staff to ensure all offerors have the information needed to accurately price their solutions.

Response: See the Governments response to question 4.

Question 6. Is there a security requirement (s) for this project? If so, can the government advise what labor categories are required to hold a clearance and at what level?

Response: Yes, a Secret clearance is required for this project. The labor categories requiring clearance are identified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). It is the Quoter’s responsibility to read the solicitation and all associated attachments in their entirety to ensure a complete understanding of all requirements, including security clearance obligations.

Question 7. If there is a security requirement for this project, will the government be issuing a DD254 for the project that lists those positions (labor categories) that must hold the requisite security clearance?

Response: A DD Form 254 will be issued. In Accordance With (IAW) FAR 4.402 (d)(1) Provided that the data submittal is unclassified, the DD Form 254 shall be completed electronically in the NISP Contract Classification System (NCCS), which is accessible at https://www.dcsa.mil/is/nccs/

Additional NCCS information can be found at: https://www.dcsa.mil/Systems-Applications/National-Industrial- Security-Program-NISP-Contract-Classification-System-NCCS/

Question 8. Mail room operations is often considered a critical task area that must be filled 100% of the time. Should the contractor mail operations clerk miss time due to Sick Leave, Paid Time Off or Military Reserve duty will the government provide staff to man the mail room during that absence or is the contractor 100% responsible to man the mail room for all hours required in the contract?

Response: The contractor is responsible for ensuring full coverage of all hours required in the contract to include when the clerk is on leave or reserve time.

Question 9. Will the Government provide details on the current staffing structure for this contract, including the labor categories and number of FTEs assigned at each performance location?

11. Quoters that fail to furnish required representations or information or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation shall be excluded from consideration

Question 19: 8(a) teaming eligibility. Must every firm on the team—including all subcontractors and any joint-venture members—hold a current 8(a) certification, or is it sufficient that the prime contractor be 8(a) while allowing large-business or non-8(a) small-business subs?

Response: Pursuant to FAR Subpart 19.3, A joint venture can qualify as a small business if it meets the rules in 13 CFR 121.103(h) and 13 CFR 125.8. This generally means:

Either all members of the joint venture must be small businesses under the size standard in the solicitation, Or if it’s a mentor-protégé joint venture approved by the SBA, the protégé must be small under the size standard.

All Quoters must officially state their size and socioeconomic status in writing when they submit their initial quote.

A copy of the SBA approved Joint Venture and/or mentor protégé agreement must accompany your quote.

Question 20: Period of performance start date. The solicitation is silent on an exact start date; the pricing schedule implies 12-month CLINs but gives no transition window. What is the target award date and required contract start (Phase-In) date? Will the Government allow a transition period before full performance begins?

Response: Refer to the “DELIVERY INFORMATION” section of the RFQ beginning on page 39.

Question 21: Security-clearance timing. PWS 13 states Secret clearances are required, while 19 notes NACI/T1 packages must be submitted 30 days prior to start. Will the Government allow interim Secret or favorable fingerprint checks at day one, with final Secret adjudication to follow, or must all personnel hold fully adjudicated Secret clearances before reporting?

Response: Yes, personnel may begin work with an interim Secret clearance or a favorable fingerprint check on day one. Final Secret clearance adjudication may follow.

Question 22: Backup Mail Clerk coverage. 2.2 requires a qualified back-up Mail Clerk if the primary is absent for more than two days. Does the Government expect a second full-time FTE included in pricing, or is occasional surge coverage (e.g., on-call or cross-trained staff) acceptable?

Response: The contractor is responsible for ensuring full coverage of all hours required in the contract to include when the clerk is on leave or reserve time.

Question 23: Telework permissions & equipment. Several tasks are labeled “ADHOC/Situational telework capable with agency approval” (e.g., 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, 2.9). Should offerors assume these billets are 100 % on-site for pricing purposes unless base closure occurs, or may we propose routine remote work? Will the Government furnish GFE laptops/VMs for teleworkers, or should that cost be in the offeror’s price?

Response: Telework is not authorized. The PWS has been updated.

Question 24: Travel CLIN ceiling. CLINs 0004/1004/2004/3004/4004 set a $15 K NTE per year; CLIN 5004 sets $7.5 K. a. Will unused funds in one fiscal year be rolled into the next option year, or does each ceiling stand alone? b. Is airfare/prorated per diem subject to JTR “actuals” reimbursement, or is the contractor expected to budget/absorb overruns within the fixed NTE amount?

Response: Travel funding is Not to Exceed $15,000.00 for 0004 to 4004. 5004, if exercised and pursuant to FAR Clause 52.217-8, will be for no more than six months, and shall not exceed $7,500.00. Per PWS 9.0, all travel required during the performance of this requirement shall be approved in advance by the Contracting Officer Representative and shall adhere to the Federal Travel Regulations (for travel in 48 contiguous states), the Joint Travel Regulations, Volume 2, DOD Civilian Personnel, Appendix A (for travel to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories and possessions).

The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative when travel funds expended reach 80% of the funded amount

Question 25: Equivalent Federal Rates table. The “Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires” lists GS- 11 for multiple positions (Facilities, Admin, etc.) but omits others (e.g., Safety Specialist, Mechanic, Mailroom). Should we infer the unlisted positions default to SCLS WD only, or will an updated table be issued?

Response: The RFQ has been updated.

Question 26: OSHA/CPR instructor certification deadline. 2.4 requires the SOH Specialist to “be certified within three months of contract award.” If the incumbent already holds current credentials, may we count that toward the requirement, or will the three-month clock restart at award?

Response: The three-month qualification period applies only to personnel who do not already hold the required certification. If the incumbent already possesses current credentials, they will not need to requalify at award. They must simply maintain the certification in accordance with its renewal requirements.

Question 27: IT Assistant certification timeline. 2.5 allows six months after hire to obtain CompTIA Security+ CE. Will the Government accept a candidate whose current Security+ is due for renewal within the performance year, provided CEUs are maintained, or must certification remain valid for the entire base year at proposal time?

Response: Yes, the Government will accept a candidate whose CompTIA Security+ certification is valid but due for renewal during the base period, as long as the required Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are maintained to ensure the certification remains active.

Question 28: CETARS access approval. 2.11 tasks the Training Technician with site-admin privileges across four learning sites. What is the expected lead time for the Navy to approve new CETARS accounts and elevated roles so we can plan for transition overlap?

Response: New personnel must first obtain NMCI access before gaining access to CeTARS. Typically, 10 working days is sufficient to complete the approval process for new CeTARS accounts and elevated roles.

Question 29: Inventory ownership of special tools & parts. 2.7 states that parts are “ordered, picked up, and stored” by the contractor for equipment maintenance. Will the Government reimburse material cost via cost-reimbursable ODCs, or must all consumables be included in the fixed price?

Response: Except for CLINs 0004, 1004, 2004, 3004, 4004, and 5004, all pricing is firm-fixed-price. Regarding the ownership of special tools and parts, per section 2.7, the contractor is responsible for ordering, picking up, and storing parts for equipment maintenance. The Government will not reimburse material costs through cost-reimbursable ODCs; all consumables must be included in the fixed price.

Question 30: Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Page 76 references a CBA between Gemini Tech Services LLC and IUOE Local 624 covering certain task areas. Is that CBA still in force and binding on the successor contractor under FAR 52.222-41(n)? If yes, can the Government furnish the full agreement?

Response: The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) has been added as an attachment.

Question 31: Is Gemini Tech Services the incumbent. If not, who is the incumbent and if we are awarded this contract do you expect us to absorb their employees.

Response: Gemini Tech Services LLC is the incumbent contractor.

Question 32: How many FTEs are required for this requirement? (PWS Para 1.0 SCOPE, page 13).

Response: The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) has been added as an attachment.

Question 37: Are there any known performance challenges associated with the incumbent contract?

Response: Contractor performance assessments, including those documented in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), are confidential and intended for internal government use only. These evaluations are based on the Government's assessment of the incumbent contractor's performance and are not publicly available to maintain fairness, protect proprietary information, and ensure an unbiased evaluation process for all parties involved. We encourage you to base your quote on the requirements outlined in the solicitation.

Response: the Government has estimated the following for informational purposes only:

Position Location Hours (per year)

2.1 (A) School Student Liaison NCTC Gulfport 1992

2.3 Command Pass Coordinator Support Det. Sheppard 1992

2.4 Safety and Occupational Health Support NCTC Gulfport 1992

2.6 Student Liaison Support Det. Fort Leonard Wood 1992

2.7 Light/Heavy Equipment Support NCTC Gulfport 5976

2.8 Administrative/Executive Command Support NCTC Gulfport 1992

2.9 Facilities Maintenance Support NCTC Gulfport 1992

Question 39: Does the prime contractor need to possess an active facility clearance at the time of proposal submission, or may the prime apply for and obtain the required clearance after contract award, assuming contract selection?

Response: The prime contractor is not required to possess an active Facility Security Clearance (FCL) at the time of quote submission. However, if selected for award, the contractor must be eligible for sponsorship, and the Government will initiate the FCL process after award.

Question 40: We request that the NAICS code be changed back from 561210 to 561110, and the size standard be changed back from $47M to $12.5M.

Response: Following a detailed analysis of the labor categories, level of effort, and Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) associated with this requirement, the Government determined that the principal purpose of the service being acquired more appropriately aligned with NAICS Code 561210 – Facilities Support Services rather than the previously assigned 561110 – Office Administrative Services.

This determination was made in coordination with the Office of Small Business Programs and in consultation with the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Program Office. Based on this review and in accordance with FAR Part 19 and SBA’s size standards guidance, the NAICS code was revised to 561210 to ensure proper alignment to the principal purpose of the services being acquired.

The Government believes this designation most accurately reflects the nature of the requirement.

Question 41: We respectfully request clarification on the rationale behind these (NAICS Code) changes and how the agency intends to ensure all offerors are afforded an equal opportunity to compete.

Response: Following a detailed analysis of the labor categories, level of effort, and Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) associated with this requirement, the Government determined that the principal purpose of the service being acquired more appropriately aligned with NAICS Code 561210 – Facilities Support Services rather than the previously assigned 561110 – Office Administrative Services.

This determination was made in coordination with the Office of Small Business Programs and in consultation with the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Program Office. Based on this review and in accordance with FAR Part 19 and SBA’s size standards guidance, the NAICS code was revised to 561210 to ensure proper alignment to the principal purpose of the services being acquired.

The Government believes this designation most accurately reflects the nature of the requirement.

Question 42: Please provide the hire dates of incumbent staff to ensure all offerors have the information needed to accurately price their solutions.

Response: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14148, which revoked EO 14055. As a result, federal contractors are no longer required to offer employment to predecessor contract employees under the nondisplacement provisions previously mandated by EO 14055.

The Government is not providing incumbent staff hire dates.

Question 43: Because you have not provided a cost-reimbursable CLIN for the materials required for equipment maintenance under PWS section 2.7, please provide a complete equipment list.

Response: 89 units of civil engineering support equipment, currently ~ 22:1 ratio of equipment to mechanics.

Question 44: Because you have not provided a cost-reimbursable CLIN for the materials required for equipment maintenance under PWS section 2.7, please provide historical data on the nature, cost, number, and frequency of the minor and major repairs referenced in PWS section 2.7.

Response: Regarding cost, all parts are procured and provided by a separate command, so we do not track that information.

It's also difficult to provide historical maintenance totals due to the absence of a centralized reporting system.

However, last month we completed 35 preventative maintenance checks and 56 corrective (breakdown) repairs.

The volume of corrective, unscheduled maintenance each month varies based on class schedules, the type of training being conducted, and the specific equipment in use.

We currently maintain 89 units of equipment. Each unit undergoes at least quarterly preventative maintenance checks, tailored to the equipment type. Additional maintenance is triggered by factors such as hours of operation, mileage, usage conditions, and configuration changes (e.g., attachments or modifications).

Question 45: As part of amendment 0001, I see TX is covered in the CBA as a PA IV. Is the position at Ft Leonard wood also under the CBA or is that a straight local DOL wage determination (SCA)? It is not addressed anywhere.

Response: The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) defines both the geographic areas of coverage and the positions subject to its terms. This agreement serves as the authoritative source for determining which employees and work locations fall within its scope, ensuring consistent and equitable application in accordance with applicable labor law and regulatory guidance.
