15. During the APBI in June, the Government asked about discriminators in evaluation criteria and Industry responded that the Government doesn't allow them to innovate. More specifically, Industry stated that innovation is stifled because evaluations end up coming down to cost/price regardless of technical factor. What innovative methods can your company provide that can improve war-fighting readiness and cost-savings? What types of innovation can industry bring to the LOGCAP program from an administrative or program management standpoint?

16. How do you leverage data analytics to monitor performance, identify trends, and proactively address potential issues in LOGCAP operations? How can the Government leverage this information so we can make smarter, faster decisions together in contract execution? What, if any, current data sets (CDRLs) under LOGCAP V do industry believe to be redundant, underutilized, and/or useless?

17. The Government is considering the use of scenario-based oral presentations as an evaluation factor. One of the drawbacks of this approach is that it is hypothetical performance and doesn't give the Government an aspect of the contractor's proposal to incorporate into the resulting contract. Do you think scenario-based oral presentations are a good idea? And if so, how can the Government leverage a proposed approach in the resulting contract execution?

18. What areas of LOGCAP V execution are going well and what areas should be improved with the LOGCAP VI solicitation?

19. In the LOGCAP V solicitation, the Army used a 'waterfall' approach to determine who received an award in each COCOM, where COCOMs with a higher operational priority were awarded first. Should that approach be replicated? If so, what changes, if any, should be made? If not, what approach would you recommend?

20. The Army is interested in structuring the LOGCAP VI contract to adapt based on operational phase. Specifically, restructuring fee amount based on urgency/rapid response requirements and then after transition to steady state operations. What is your recommendation for contractual triggers to indicate this change between phases? And what is a fair structure that balances reduction of operational cost, but also incentivizing Industry to continue satisfactory performance in steady state operations?

21. What are your thoughts on a COCOM-specific single-award task order contract (SATOC) approach compared to a multiple-award task order contract (MATOC) similar to what is used for LOGCAP V? Do you have any input on having 2, 4, or 6 prime contractors for LOGCAP VI?

22. Is it in your companies’ best interest and intent to propose on every COCOM based on the COCOM-specific SATOC/MATOC structure?

23. What is your recommendation for an evaluation structure that allows Industry to innovate and gives proper credit for it in the source selection while having a true trade-off where cost/price isn’t ultimately the deciding factor? At the same time, how could proposals be structured in a way that can be enforceable in contract execution?

24. What are your thoughts on the use of a Highest Technically Rated Offeror (HTRO) evaluation method with a Self-Scoring Matrix to evaluate technical capability?

25. Are there elements of the current PWS that are preventing performance efficiency, innovation or ability to reduce costs?

26. Can you provide recommendations for what the PMO / STT TOs should look like in

LOGCAP VI?

27. Market research indicates we should consider utilizing FFP CLINs for well-defined, sustainment requirements. Are there mechanisms you can recommend to signal to the Government that a requirement that is currently being performed under a cost CLIN would be a good candidate to consider for sustainment / FFP?
