Sheet1

Page No.	Section	Para No.	Quote from Solicitation	Question	Response
1	L-3 Past Performance Info Form	Row #2	Contract Reference	Program POCs are provided at the end of the form, and it is unclear what type of information constitutes a "Contract Reference." Please clarify.	Per Section L, Part B, 2.0, Volume 2 states "the offeror shall submit no more than 5 Past Performance Information Forms…" As such, in the contract reference cell, the Government is asking for the Offerors to identify whether they were a Prime or a sub and what numerical contract reference they are identifying, i.e. Prime (P2), meaning prime contractor past performance reference 2.
43	Solicitation	5252.219-9501	Less than five percent small disadvantaged business subcontracting goal	Is the % goal a % of total contact value or total subcontracted dollars?	This goal is a % of the total subcontracted dollars.
28, 42	K, L	DFARS 252.234-7002 (Dev)	Earned Value Management System (Deviation 2015-2017) - SEP 2015. The DFAR limit for EVM is now $100M	Does the government intend to issue a $100M task order under this contract, is this clause required?	Though Deviation 2015-O0017 specifies a dollar value of $100M, NMCARS 234.201 specifies EVM is required at $20M for cost type contracts. Since this is an IDIQ contract, EVMS will be required for orders exceeding $20M.
50	L	1.1.1 Offeror Summary	The Offeror shall provide an Offeror Summary consistent with Table 1, and submit it within this section and as a separate electronic file. The Offeror shall provide a written explanation if multiple CAGE codes/DUNS for the same physical location are provided in Table 1, Offeror Summary. The written explanation shall detail the distinct roles and responsibilities for entities with different CAGE codes/DUNS at the same physical location for where the work is being performed or from where the work is being directed. The description shall include all changes in the organization as a result of a corporate acquisition, reorganization, merger, or other administrative reason.	Depending on the number of teammates on a proposed team, Table 1, Offeror Summary, could be lengthy. Given that the allotted page count for the Executive Summary is only two pages, will the Government consider allowing the teammates to be identified in an Appendix to the Executive Summary and exempt the Appendix from page count?	The Government will allow information requested in Table 1 to be included in an Appendix to the Executive Summary and exempt from the page count.
52	L	1.4.1 Organizational	The Offeror shall provide an overview of its proposed organization, including an organization chart showing interfaces, locations, and lines of communication among the Government, the Prime, and its subcontractors. Specifically show where the proposed Key Personnel is located in the organizational chart and their lines of reporting and authority. Use Table ES‐1, Offeror Summary, to demonstrate that all future work has been considered.	Table 1 in Section 1.1.1 is identical to Table ES‐1 in Section 1.5.1 and included in the solicitation as Appendix L2. Will the Government accept a reference in the Management Plan to the table already presented in the Executive Summary to allow more space to fully describe the offeror's management plan?	The Government will accept a reference in the Management Plan to the table presented in ES-1.

The Contractor shall submit all consent packages to the COR for either approval of material purchasing over $3,500 or initial review of material purchasing over $25,000.00.	As the micro-purchase threshold has increased from $3,500 to $10,000 (FAR 2.11 published July 2, 2020), will the Government update the references in Section 5.1 from $3,500 to $10,000?	At this point in time, the Government WILL NOT be updating section 5.1 from $3,500 to $10,000.
40	K	Provision (e) under 252.204-7007 ALTERNATE A, ANNUAL REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS (NOV 2020)	After reviewing the SAM database information, the offeror verifies by submission of the offer that the representations and certifications currently posted electronically that apply to this solicitation as indicated in FAR 52.204-8(c) and paragraph (d) of this provision have been entered or updated within the last 12 months, are current, accurate, complete, and applicable to this solicitation (including the business size standard applicable to the NAICS code referenced for this solicitation)....	Will Section K of the solicitation be updated to provide for 52.204-8, Annual Representations and Certifications (MAR 2020), that includes certification for business size and the applicable NAICS code?	Clause 52.204-8, Annual Representations and Certification ( MAR 2020), has been updated to full text to show the NACIS and business size.

Does the government have current and complete baseline technical data packages with Software Source Code and Hardware assembly drawings, detail parts drawings, parts lists and part supplier information for all systems in Appendix A of the SOW? Are these available for use by the selected contractors receiving awards under this solicitation?	The government owned data in relation to the systems identified in Appendix A varies. The government intends to provide applicable documentation at the order level.
A-1 to A-2	SOW	Appendix A	The scope of the instrumentation and EW threat system upgrades shall include: research, development, procurement, sustainment, upgrade, technology insertion, integration, testing, networking, cybersecurity, and Configuration and Data management (CM/DM).

For example, if a 5 year contract that ended 4 years ago is used as a Past Performance, will only the last year CPAR be considered? Will that one year of CPAR Past Performance be of equal weight as a 5 year contract that was executed all in the last 5 years (i.e. 5 CPAR ratings) assuming the CPAR ratings were all of equal score/rating?

Regarding PP references, the Government does not intend to implement a weighting system for references.
