QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

# RFP Document/ Para. Questions/Comments Answer 1.

Page 13, paragraph numbered 3.2.4

On page 13, paragraph numbered 3.2.4, you have listed “3.2.4 STEELWORKER

CLASS “A” USN A-711-00XX COURSE

OF INSTRUCTION:

Will the government state if this is for the Steel Worker advanced course? If not, will the government state the course name and correct number?

The course listed is not an advanced course. As per PWS paragraph 3.2.4 This course will replace both SW Class A Block 0 (3.2.2) and Block 1 (3.2.3). Official title and course number will be available once NETC completes development.

2. Would a statement like this in the proposal in lieu of the resume requirement suffice?

"In coordination with the KOR, we intend to utilize existing key personnel like the Master Scheduler and instructors who've exhibited strong work performance to minimize unnecessary turnover and ensure a seamless transition."

No. All quoters are required to follow the terms and conditions of the solicitation in order to be considered for award

3. Page 11, paragraph 3.1 Where is the key person located? The Training Master Scheduler resides at NCTC, building 343, Gulfport, MS.

4. Will contracting require responding companies to certify their current size standard to ensure compliance with the

NAICS?

Refer to pages 45 and 46 of the solicitation for information on completing the annual representations and certifications electronically in SAM, which include business size standards.

5. Will the government consider expanding the relevancy definition to include DoD trade school training? The current solicitation is extremely limiting to non-incumbent competitors as there are very few contracts providing this exact type of support, limiting competition.

Other types of DoD trade school training and instruction that are reasonably analogous will be considered relevant.

6. Will the government allow escalation on this contract?

This is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract. A firm fixed price contract does not automatically adjust the price based on market changes.

7. Page 26, paragraph 19 Who will manage instructor personnel in DISS, given the conflicting terminology in paragraph 19.0 regarding the need for a T3 versus a favorable determination from a T3

Contractor will manage instructor personnel in DISS as stated in PWS paragraph 19.

investigation?

8. Page 70, Wage Determination The solicitation contains Area Wage

Determination 2015-5147 Rev 24, however there is a Area Wage Determination 2015-5147 Rev 25 listed on SAM.gov. Will the government update the solicitation to contain the latest AWD Revision posted on SAM.gov?

Government has updated Wage Determination to the most up to date revision listed on

SAM.GOV

9. Page 3-8; Page 25; Page 82, PWS Section 10; Volume 1- Price Instructions

The solicitation contains travel amounts for CLINs 0002, 1002, 2002, 3002, 4002, and 5002 contained within the SF1449 Continuation Sheet as well as PWS Section

10.0. However, the instructions for the Price

volume contained on page 82 indicate offerors should not price these travel CLINs. Please confirm that offerors should not enter the amounts contained within each CLIN description in the SF1449 within each corresponding CLIN in the pricing section.

The amount in each of travel CLINs are set amounts, not to be priced by the contractor.

Travel CLINS are priced at NTE $15,000 per year.

10. Page 20, Section 3.3 The Government identifies 35,536 hours of historic annual instruction. Is this class room and shop hours? Do instructors also have to do course and training preparation and are those hours included in the 35,536 estimate or are they in addition?

The 35,536 hours of historic annual instruction is inclusive of room and shop hours.

Additionally, the 35,536 hours are inclusive of course and training preparation.

11. Page 20, Section 3.3 Can the government provide the total number of contractor-taught courses in 2024, as mentioned in paragraph 3.3 (35 courses)? This historical data directly effects the formulation of the 35,536 hours of instruction and subsequently the 242 instructional days / 8 instructional hours per day.

Number of courses and instructional hours the contract instructors provided for FY24 is in paragraph 3.3.

Instructional hour calculations are calculated from the number of course offerings for each course multiplied by the number of contact hours per course. In FY24 the total contract instructional hours were 35,536.

12. Page 20, Instructor Workload Data

How many hours have historically been required to support training course development and other training course requirements not included in the historic 35,596 training hours?

For a rough calculation, recommend, approximately 438 hours or 56.7 days per year per person.

13. Page 21, Section 4.2 Are resumes required for instructor positions? If not, how will Government verify proposed instructors meet the requirements listed in the solicitation?

As per PWS paragraph

3.0.2 “The Government reserves the right to review and approve resumes for any instructor or Training

Master Scheduler replacement.” Resumes will only be required for new hires; incumbent employee resumes are not required.

Verification will happen via evaluation of the staffing plan.

14. Addendum 1 The addendum one lists 21 Instructors are historically required to support the course requirements. How many courses historically have the 21 Contractor instructors taught?

As per PWS paragraph

3.3 states contract instructors supported 35 different courses in FY24. Also, each paragraph from 3.2.1 through 3.2.36 provides the title, duration, and number of classes taught in FY24.

15. Addendum 1 and PWS 3.3 Addendum I lists 21 Contractor Instructors as historic support while Sec 3.3 lists 35,596 Training Hours supported. Since Service Contract ACT (SCA) applies to this acquisition, what is the Governments definition of a Full Time Equivalent Contractor productive hours? 1856 productive hours?

As per NETC a contact instructor man-year equivalent is 1,880 hours per year.

16. Please clarify if there are any formatting requirements for submission of the proposal? For instance, font size, font type, margins, or other format requirements.

Standard 12 font size, Times New Roman (font type), 1” Margin

17. Can you please verify the current number of contract instructors, not including the Master Scheduler currently working at NCTC, and if all billets are currently filled?

See addendum I and II.

18. Page 85 Would you please clarify the requirement to submit resumes for key personnel?

All quoters are required to follow the terms and conditions of the solicitation in order to be considered for award.

19. Page 22, Paragraph 4.2 The solicitation states that instructors must have NEC 9502/805A or equivalent. Would the government accept civilian instructor certifications in place of NEC 9502/805A if they demonstrate equivalent instructional experience?

The government will review civilian instructor certifications for equivalency and suitability.

20. Page 22, Paragraph 4.2 The solicitation requires prior approval for replacing key personnel. What is the expected timeline for government approval of instructor replacements, and will emergency replacements be expedited?

Page 22, Paragraph 4.2, “…..The selection and hiring of replacement personnel is the sole responsibility of the contractor and should be completed within two weeks of the vacancy.”

Government will evaluate resume and provide determination upon completion of evaluation of resume.

21. Page 12, Paragraph 3.1.14 If there are scheduling changes due to mission requirements, will the government provide additional funding to accommodate extended work hours beyond the base requirement?

No

22. Page 20, Paragraph 3.4 The solicitation states that instructors may be reassigned to different schoolhouses.

Will the government provide additional funding if a reassignment requires different certifications or additional training?

No

23. Page 7, Paragraph 1002 Travel is authorized consistent with the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), but it is capped at $15,000. If mission-critical travel exceeds this cap, will the government provide additional funding?

The travel amount is set and provided a not to exceed amount. Prior to travel execution, the COR/KO will review and approve travel cost estimates; therefore, exceeding the set amount should be avoided.

24. Page 10, Paragraph 3.0.5 If an instructor identifies outdated course material, what is the expected timeline for CSFE to approve updates, and will additional funding be provided for necessary curriculum development?

CSFE is the primary curriculum developer for NCTC, and their timelines depend on a variety of factors that are not under NCTC’s control. Instructors are best positioned to find errors and use their subject matter expertise to recommend changes and review course materials.

As per paragraph 3.0.5 “Any such contractor recommendations shall be at no additional cost to the Government and shall become the property of the Government.”

25. Page 4, Section 29 The solicitation references a "best value" determination. Will price or technical capability carry more weight in the evaluation process?

Refer to 52.212-2 Evaluation starting on page 84, “For those offerors rated Acceptable in Technical Approach, a tradeoff will be conducted considering past performance and price with past performance considered more important than price.”

26. Page 88 Does the government intend to implement a 'First Right of Refusal' for incumbent personnel under this contract, as outlined in FAR 52.222-17? If not, will the government allow offerors to propose transition plans that prioritize incumbent retention?

Referenced Clause 52.222-17 is not a valid clause.

Transition plans may be submitted however all submission requirements are outlined in FAR 52.212-1 and FAR 52.212-2.

27. Page 42 Can the government clarify how it will ensure equal fairness in the evaluation of offerors, particularly in terms of pricing expectations and technical capability, given potential disparities in access to incumbent workforce data?

The Government will follow the solicitation procedures outlined in 52.212-1 and 52.212-2

28. Does the government allow the use of part-time personnel, or are all instructor positions expected to be full-time (40 hours per week)? If part-time work is permitted, are there restrictions on the number of hours per week an instructor may work?

All instructors are to be full-time employees.

29. Can the government confirm the expected number of personnel required to fulfill the contract, or should offerors determine the staffing size based on the required 35,536 instructional support hours?

Based on historical information in Addendum I and Addendum II, 21 instructors have been used to meet the command’s mission.

30. Page 85 The solicitation designates the Training Master Scheduler as key personnel, which implies at least one full-time position. Can the government confirm whether this role is expected to be a dedicated full-time position, or if the offeror has flexibility in structuring the role as part-time or combined with other duties?

The Training Master Scheduler is an onsite full-time position.

31. Page 85 Can the government confirm whether the Training Master Scheduler must be physically present on-site at NCTC Gulfport full-time, or if there is flexibility to work remotely when not actively coordinating training or conducting site visits?

This position is an on-site position. Ad-hoc telework can be approved on a case-by-case basis during extreme weather events and other closures, as approved by NCTC Training Department Head and KOR.

32. Page 85 To ensure fairness among all offerors, can the government provide an estimated

Information has been provided in Addendum I number of personnel currently supporting this effort by role (e.g., number of instructors per course area)? If this information is unavailable, can the government confirm whether proposals will be evaluated based on a staffing estimate derived from the required instructional hours rather than historical workforce data?

and Addendum II, starting on Pages 32-38 of the solicitation.

33. Page 85 To ensure fair competition and prevent undue advantage for the incumbent, can the government provide historical staffing data, including the number of instructors per course area, to serve as a baseline for all offerors? If not, can the government confirm that proposals will not be rated 'Unacceptable' solely due to variances in estimated manning levels, provided that all performance requirements are met?

Information has been provided in Addendum I and Addendum II, starting on Pages 32-38 of the solicitation.

3.0.2 TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL: The Contractor shall provide fully qualified instructors who demonstrate experience in the areas listed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). In the event an instructor(s) has to be replaced, the replacement shall be as qualified or more qualified than the instructor(s) being replaced. The Government COR/ACOR reserves the right to review resumes for any instructor or Training Master Scheduler replacement.

3.0.2 TRAINING ENVIRONMENT: The services required hereunder shall be performed utilizing both of the following specific instructional environments (these training environments are provided and maintained by the Government).

• Legacy Environment (Group-Paced, Instructor-Led). This is traditional classroom instruction in a Navy resident schoolhouse environment. The contractor shall provide on-site instructors to teach the course.

• Legacy Lab Environment (Builder Projects, Instructor-Led). Exercises are conducted on-site builder projects in either an indoor lab or outside site project. The contractor shall provide on-site instructors for each project exercise.

3.0.3 TRAINING SCHEDULES: Training shall normally be conducted eight (8) hours a day five (5) days a week for the length of the course. However, the daily activity may extend beyond 8-hours if required to meet all training objectives outlined in the curriculum. Student remediation may be required and should be considered beyond the normal 8-hour training time for each class. During the execution of the class schedule where holidays or other events impact the expeditious movement of students through the training pipeline, the Naval Construction Training Center (NCTC) Site Director may extend the number of daily training hours to compensate, but not to exceed 40 hours per week per instructor.

3.0.4 CLASS CONVENINGS: NCTC Gulfport will establish class schedules. Any changes to class/course schedules will be established by NCTC Gulfport and forwarded to the contractor Training Master Scheduler for implementation.

3.0.5 CHANGES TO CURRICULUM: Only training materials and lesson plans promulgated by CSFE will be used in training delivery. It is recognized that certain portions of the course may become outdated based on a number of external factors. The contractor’s instructors are encouraged to identify and submit recommendations to the contractor’s Training Master Scheduler who recommends, makes changes and revisions to curriculum and submits such recommended changes and revisions to the NCTC Gulfport Site Director. However, the content of the instructional material shall not be modified until formally approved and implemented by CSFE. Any such contractor recommendations shall be at no additional cost to the Government and shall become the property of the Government.

3.0.6 ACADEMIC STANDARDS: All instructors shall adhere to and maintain academic standards (e.g., course grading criteria established by NCTC Gulfport) in accordance with assessment standards for the course. If the student(s) have academic problems, the instructor shall provide remediation to improve their course performance.

Academic standards for each course can be found in the testing section of the course curriculum.

3.0.7 CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP TO MILITARY AUTHORITIES: Contract instructors shall have the authority and are empowered to maintain their classrooms in an orderly and professional atmosphere.

3.0.7.1 COMPLAINTS AGAINST STUDENTS: Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and military manner. Students who fail to conduct themselves with the proper classroom decorum shall be cautioned by the contract instructor; if the inappropriate conduct continues, the student shall be referred by the contract instructor to the NCTC Site Director. In the event of any formal military action against students under their tutelage, contract instructors may be requested to provide written statements to or appear in person at Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) or military Courts-Martial proceedings. Under no circumstance is a contract instructor to take disciplinary action against any student(s).

3.0.7.2 SITE MANAGEMENT: The Training Master Scheduler shall be designated as the contractor Site Lead.

In addition to performing duties outlined in paragraph 3.1, the individual shall provide overall management, supervision, and coordination of this contract and shall act as the local point of contact with the Government. The contractor Site Lead shall have full authority to act for the contractor on all matters relating to daily operations of the contract. The contractor shall furnish, in writing, to the NCTC Gulfport Business Manager the name and contact information of the contractor Site Lead no later than (15) calendar days after contract award. Providing a contractor Site Lead will be at no additional cost to the Government.

3.1 KEY PERSONNEL: Contractor personnel that are evaluated in a source selection process and that may be required to be used in the performance of a contract by the Key Personnel listed in the PWS. When key personnel are used as an evaluation factor in a best value procurement, an offer can be rejected if it does not have a firm commitment from the person(s) that is (are) listed in the proposal. However, in the event that a person, previously committed to perform as key personnel under the contract becomes unavailable before award (or prior to the start of performance under the contract), the qualifications listed in each individual proposed key personnel resume, not the specific individual, are the materially relevant aspects of the proposed key personnel partially forming the basis of award. Therefore, even if a proposed key individual becomes unavailable to the contractor between proposal submission and award, the Government will evaluate and make its award decision based on the qualifications listed on the proposed resume(s). When the Government awards a contract under those circumstances, the Government will require the awardee to use the qualifications listed on the relevant proposed key personnel resume as the basis for replacing the individual during contract performance. The offeror shall make no substitution of key personnel without prior notification to and concurrence of the Government COR. The prime contractor is responsible for performance of all subcontractors. The following personnel are considered key personnel by the Government:

INSTRUCTOR SUPPORT SERVICES (TRAINING MASTER SCHEDULER):

The Training Master Scheduler is considered key personnel by the Government. The contractor shall provide a Training Master Scheduler to coordinate all training conducted by the Naval Construction Training Center Gulfport on site and scheduled off-site training. The contractor shall coordinate input from the Center for Seabees and Facilities Engineering (CSFE) and Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) regarding the number of classes, area of instruction, class size and schedule dates for proposed classes. The contractor shall make all arrangements for classroom availability and assignments, insure required training aids are made available for each class, coordinate and monitor all classrooms and laboratory facilities assigned to NCTC Gulfport, provide student rosters to assigned instructors.

The TRAINING MASTER SCHEDULER will serve as the single point of contact for all matters pertaining to “A” (Apprentice Training), C1 (Advance specialized skill training), D1 (Individual, not rating-specific professional development functional skill training), F1 (Individual skill or rating-specific functional training), and G1 (Pipeline skill progression Training) all related courses associated with NETC Seabee basic, intermediate and advanced training.

3.1.1 Respond to all correspondence pertaining to course issues. Receive phone calls and visitors, answer inquiries concerning scheduling courses.

3.1.2 Ensure the essential NITRAS (Navy Integrated Training Resources and Administration System), CETARS (Corporate Enterprise Training Activity Resource Systems [US Navy]) and Master Course Reference File (Seabee University/Course Schedule) are current and in accordance with NCTC, NETC and CSFE directives.

3.1.3 Draft and submit schedules to be used in the execution of Naval Technical Training conducted at NCTC Gulfport and off-site facilities.

3.1.4 Maintain records and data pertaining to all course of instruction at NCTC Gulfport.

3.1.5 Schedule and conduct weekly scheduling meetings between NCTC Gulfport, Schoolhouse Departments, D1 and F1 course coordinators, the Naval Construction Group Two (NCG2) and tenant Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) training personnel.

3.1.6 Develop and submit for approval and promulgation weekly C1, D1, F1, and G1 school course schedules.

3.1.7 Identify scheduling conflicts, provide coordinated recommendations for approval and implement resolutions to scheduling issues in order to facilitate courses to the maximum extent.

3.1.8 Inform government training department of, and propose resolutions to, issues arising from “A”, C1, D1, F1, and G1 school course completion packages.

3.1.9 Assist the Business/Financial Management Department Head (N8) with matters pertaining to “A”, C1, D1, F1, and G1 scheduling and school costs associated with courses taught, Equipment Replacement Plans (ERPs) and information on schedules for reimbursable billings.

3.1.10 Provide Command data for facilities level utilization and scheduling briefs pertaining to school courses.

3.1.11 Ensure monthly Metrics brief is updated and ready for presentation.
