2. Question: Will the Government please clarify that in addition to the prime, Significant Subcontractors, and only Non-Significant service subcontractors that meet the definition in paragraph (d) of NFS provision 1852.231-71, Determination of Compensation Reasonableness, shall provide Exhibits 13A and 13B.

Response: Yes, the Offeror and ALL (i.e., Significant and Non- Significant) service subcontractors (as defined in paragraph (d) of NFS provision 1852.231-71 Determination of Compensation Reasonableness shall provide Exhibits 13A and 13B. These exhibits fulfill the Total Compensation Plan requirement under FAR provision 52.222-46 for Non-Significant Subcontractors.

3. Question: Per section L.13(a), a significant subcontractor is determined using the total proposed cost of all RTOs inclusive of fee, but exclusive of any Phase-in. Section L.13(5) requires that offerors use non-proposed costs to generate the Prime Offeror’s proposed elements of cost associated with performing each RTO. Please confirm that the non-proposed costs specified in Section L.13(5) are excluded from the calculation of percentage of subcontractor costs for the purposes of determining significant subcontractors.

Response: No, non-proposed costs must be included as part of the total proposed cost of all RTOs for the purpose of determining significant subcontractors.

4. Question: In the December 21, 2017 Answers to Offeror Questions regarding the SENSE DRFP, the Government stated that the dollar value threshold used to determine significant subcontractors for Past Performance as defined in Section L.14(a) would be based on the total value of all RTOs. This clarifying language was not provided in the final RFP.

For clarification of instructions provided in RFP Section L.14(a), will the Government please confirm how the average annual cost/fee $15M threshold is determined (e.g., price of RTOs, Maximum IDIQ Value, or some other factor).

Response: The dollar value threshold used to determine significant subcontractors for Past Performance as defined in Section L.14(a) shall be based on the total value of all RTOs. A RFP amendment is being prepared to include this clarification.
