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 18: 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 19: 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 20: 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 21: 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 21: 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 22: 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 23: 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 24: 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 25: 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 26: 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 27: 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 28: 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 29: 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.

ATTACHMENTS: The following documents are provided as attachments and are considered part of this solicitation:

Attachment 2: Wage Determination

Basis of Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services per FAR Subpart 13.106

The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoters whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered. Initially the Government will evaluate all quotes for technical capability. All quotes rated technically unacceptable shall be ineligible for award and removed from any further consideration. The Government will then evaluate all technically acceptable quotes for past performance and price, and assign appropriate adjectival ratings for past performance. The Government will then conduct a trade-off between past performance and price where past performance is more important than price.

Each quote shall be in the form prescribed by, and shall contain a response to, each of the areas identified in the solicitation provision entitled “52.212-1 Addendum, Instructions to Offeror’s- Commercial Products and Commercial Services.”

The type of source selection utilized in this procurement is the Best Value Trade-Off IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, and Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow consideration of award to other than the lowest priced quote. The Government reserves the right to make award solely on initial quote received.

Note: Past performance is more important than price; however, price ahs the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process. The degree of importance of price will increase with the degree of equality of the quotes in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based.

Price - The Government will evaluate price in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a), Award and Documentation. The Government may evaluate any and all information submitted by the quoter to support the reasonableness of the prices quoted. The method of evaluation used is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Price will be evaluated by multiplying the estimated quantities by the quoted unit price for each line item and then adding the totals together thereby identifying the quoter’s total estimated price for each line item.

The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options including FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option (s).

Note: Quoters that do not quote all items (including options) or which quoters only partial CLIN pricing will be considered non-responsive. Failure to furnish the price in accordance with the instructions above shall render the quote unacceptable.

Technical Capability: The technical rating reflects the degree to which the proposed approach meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements. For a quote to be found technically acceptable, the quote must clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Failure to provide the following will result in an unacceptable rating:

1. Staffing Approach. A Staffing Plan shall be submitted with the quote for evaluation.

a. Staffing plan shall address at a minimum your proposed staffing approach for each contract period, including options, based upon your assessment of contract requirements, including the position requirements for PWS 4.1 Safety and Occupational Health (SOH), 4.2 Information Technology, 4.3 Light/Heavy Equipment Mechanic, and 4.4 Administrative Assistant – NS Facilities Maintenance. Additionally, your plan shall address the PWS requirements for manning at NCTC Gulfport, CSFE Sheppard AFB, and CSFE Fort Leonard Wood.

b. An organization chart with lines of authority within the Contractors organization and with the

Government including identification of personnel (and labor title) with the ability to make commitments on behalf of the Contractor.

If the quoter is found to be “Unacceptable”, then the quoter will be removed from further consideration of the award.

Acceptable (A)

The quote meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation and indicates an adequate approach and demonstrates understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Unacceptable (U)

The quote does not meet minimum requirements of the solicitation and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Quote is unawardable.

Past Performance - The past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the quoter’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each quoter’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying services that meet the contract’s requirements as described in the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1. The recency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in Contractor’s performance shall be considered. These are combined to establish one performance confidence assessment rating for each quoter. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. Submitted Past Performance project relevancy will be rated as either “relevant” or “not relevant”.

Submitted CPARS or PPQ information that is older than 3 years as of the issuance date of the solicitation on Page 1, Block 6 of this RFQ will deemed not recent; and therefore, will not be evaluated.

Submitted CPARS or PPQ information for contracts where the annual value is less than $1,000,000.00 shall be rated not relevant.

Rating Definition Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar size, scope complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the size, scope and complexities this solicitation requires.

A review of all past performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information will be incorporated into an overall performance confidence assessment rating. The past performance confidence assessment rating is based on the quoter’s overall record of recency, relevancy and quality of performance and will be rated as stated below.

Performance Confidence Assessment Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the quoter’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence Based on the quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the quoter’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the quoter will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

In the case of quoters for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance is not available, the quoters may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past contract performance. In this case, the quoter’s past performance is unknown and assigned a confidence rating of “neutral.” Past performance ratings of “Substantial Confidence” and “Satisfactory Confidence” hold more value than a “Neutral Confidence” rating and will be considered more favorably in the evaluation of past performance.
