LASSO QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES #3 NNK17600289R

As of February 03, 2017

INTRODUCTION

Government responses to Industry questions on the LASSO RFP Amendment 02 are below. The Government grouped similar questions or topics and provided a single response when appropriate. All industry questions received between January 27 and February 03, 2017 have been captured and responded to in this posting.

SECTION L.14 NFS 1852.215-81 PROPOSAL PAGE LIMITATION (APR 2015)

Page Limitation Many company logos are graphic images that sometimes include artistic text that represents the acronym of the company name and/or may include a symbol as a company identifier along with plain text that spells the name of the company out and/or reflects a mission phrase or tag-line associated with their business. Because the artistic and plain text is all part of the company’s official logo will the Government please confirm that logo artistic text and plain text are both exempt from the 12 point font limitation when used in, or as a graphic?

Response:

Offerors shall comply with Section L.14 (b) for all proposal text.

ATTACHMENT J-04

Wage Determination Comment The LASSO PWS requires some skillsets which are not included in the IAM and IBEW CBAs which for which WD-05-2117 is applicable on the current contracts. The new WD that was released in amendment 02 does not incorporate any SCA labor categories in addition to those limited roles captured in the CBAs. Suggest that the Government incorporate WD-05-2117 (rev.-18) in addition to WD 2017-003 (rev-1) in order to cover all required non-exempt skillsets.

Response:

RFP Amendment 03 revises Attachment J-04 to include WD 2005-2117 Rev. 19.

GENERAL

I thought I read it somewhere in the solicitation, but can’t seem to find it now. If we are submitting a proposal compliance matrix for the government to use as an evaluation tool, I believe it’s excluded from page count. Please confirm.

Response:

There is no compliance matrix requirement for this solicitation.

VOLUME IV, PLANS AND OTHER DATA - MODEL CONTRACT

Perhaps I have missed something, but now that the model contract has been moved into Volume IV, based on the instruction from Section L below, it appears NASA wants the Model Contract delivered in MS Word. I presume you want us to convert is from the pdf format received from NASA to MS word and submit it. Is that correct?

Volume IV, Plans and Other Data: The Offeror shall submit plans and other data in MS-Word, unless designated otherwise below:

1. Basis of Estimate (BOE) and Mapping Rationale: The BOE and Mapping Rationale is requested in MS-Word or MS-Excel (to include associated narrative to describe the basis of estimated values in any MS-Excel table).

1. Key Personnel Resumes and Letters of Commitment are requested in PDF or MS-Word format.

Response:

RFP Amendment 03 revises Section L.14 (o)(3) to clarify submission instructions for the Model Contract.
