RPOC IV RFP Amendment 1 Questions and Answers

Question 1: The cover letter states: “Section K, Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of

Offerors, and Volume III Past Performance, and the Past Performance Questionnaires are due at

NASA/JSC no later than 1:00 pm, Central Standard Time on November 14, 2016.” However, Table L-2 in the Final RFP (page 8 of Section L) shows that the Volume II Past Performance is due 11/28/16 at 1500

CST. Please clarify when the Volume II Past Performance is due. Also, please confirm if the Past

Performance Questionnaires are due on 11/14/16 or 11/28/16.

Response 1: The due date for Past Performance Questionnaires is changed from 1:00 pm CST 11/14/16 to 1500 CST 11/28/16 to coincide with the due date of the Past Performance Volume II. Be advised Per

NFS 1815.304-70(3) “Failure of the offeror to submit its past performance information early or of the customers to submit the completed questionnaires shall not be a cause for rejection of the proposal nor shall it be reflected in the Government's evaluation of the offeror's past performance.”

Question 2: On page 3 of Attachment L-3 Past Performance Questionnaire, it is stated that it is important to keep in mind only performance in the past 5 years as relevant. Our response in the Past

Performance Volume II is limited to the past three years and per the response to Question 15 in the

Responses to Draft RFP, we believed that the questionnaire would be modified to gather information only for the past 3 years. Please clarify if the questionnaire should cover the past 3 or 5 years.

Response 2: Per L.13.5(b) The Past Performance Questionnaire shall only cover contract period of performances within 3 years from the date of issuance of the RPOC IV original solicitation. Amendment

1 to the RFP is issued to change Attachment L-3.
