Questions Answers

Question #1:

L.13 (c), Mission Suitability, Subfactor B, Management Approach, and L.14 (b), Cost Volume

Instructions. (page 108 and 116). L.13 (c), Subfactor B states "If proposing incumbent labor, the offeror shall use the position descriptions shown in Enclosure CC for non-managerial labor categories." L.14 (b), (2) states "In Section 6 provide Position Qualifications (PQs) for all Prime proposed direct labor categories specified in Section

1 and all significant subcontractors' proposed direct labor categories specified in Section 5. Please note these are Prime and Significant Subcontractor company -specific PQs - not the Government Non-

Management DL Position Descriptions provided for the Government Pricing Model (GPM) purposes only." Please clarify if we are to use the position descriptions shown in Enclosure CC for proposed incumbent labor in Section 6 of Attachment B; OR if we are to use Prime and Significant

Subcontractor-specific PQs for proposed incumbent labor in Section 6 of Attachment B.

Question #1 Answer:

Offerors shall provide company specific

Position Qualifications in Section 6 of

Attachment B. These should not be the

GPM-Specified Non-Management DL

Category Position Descriptions that are provided for GPM conversion and evaluation purposes only, if the Offeror is proposing to utilize its existing company-specific labor category titles and PQs. However, the Prime and/or Significant Subcontractor(s) may propose direct labor category titles and PQs that match the GPM-Specified direct labor category titles and position descriptions if the

Offeror is establishing new, identical direct labor category titles and PQs within their company for this contract effort (versus utilizing its existing company-specific PQs and converting/mapping those positions to match the GPM-Specified Direct Labor

Categories). In either case, a PQ must be provided in Section 6 for every direct labor category listed in Sections 1 and 5.

L.13 (c), Subfactor B, and L.14 (b) will be revised accordingly.

Question #2:

Reference Final Q&A #2, and Amendment 1, C.(1) page 3: In response to a question about including an

RFP compliance matrix, the government stated it would allow a SOW compliance matrix outside the page limits. The RFP does not require demonstration of compliance to the SOW. Request the government allow bidders to provide a matrix showing compliance with the RFP (e.g., sections L and M) outside the page limits.

Question #2 Answer:

The requirement for a SOW compliance matrix is being changed to “RFP compliance matrix”. An amendment to the RFP will be written and this will be corrected. Further, the compliance matrix will be excluded from the page count.
