I. The purpose of this amendment is to provide questions and answers. All other terms and conditions remain the same.

II. Questions and Answers.

1. Question. I am following up on a voicemail I just left. I was wondering if you could please provide the proposal instructions for the subject solicitation. I looked through the document and couldn't find any instructions regarding the type of information DLA needs from offerors in order to evaluate our proposals.

Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

2. Question. I see that FAR 52.212-01 was included in the solicitation and there is a Basis of Award section that was included on pages 59 and 60 of the solicitation. Unfortunately, neither of these sections give any instruction on proposal content and structure. Can you please provide this information so that offerors can build their proposals and to aid in evaluation? Thank you in advance! Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

3. Question. Is there an incumbent? Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

4. Question. Please clarify the type of information that is to be included in the technical volume. Answer.

Technical proposals must show the offeror has sufficient understand and capability to meet the solicitation’s expressed requirements. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

5. Question. Please clarify pricing requirements. Section 3 (b) of the RFP asks for a price per location.

(*Please note there are two section 3(b). This question pertains to the section that comes after section 3(d).) However, the pricing depends on the class delivered, the duration of that class, and the location.

Further, the pricing sheets (pp. 3-13) seem to be asking for a price per unit (month?) with a quantity of 12.

Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

6. Question. Is there an incumbent currently providing all or part of the services in the subject solicitation. Please identify the incumbent by name. Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

7. Question. Due to these discrepancies, requests a response to these questions and an extension of the due date by 10 business days to allow us sufficient time to formulate pricing and technical responses. Answer.

The solicitation closing date was extended by 3 days from October 6, 2014 to October 9, 2014.

8. Question. The current NAICS code listed on the SF1449 is 562211 "Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal"

- was this an error? It is, however, listed as 611430 on the FBO summary page. Would the Government consider an alternate NAICS code to allow for increased competition? For example, NAICS code 611710 "Educational Support Services" provides much broader coverage and has an increased SB size standard; one that would allow more potential bidders to submit a response. Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

9. Question. Will the Government consider an extension on the current proposal due date? Answer.

SP4705-14-R-00280001. The solicitation closing date was extended by 3 days from October 6, 2014 to October 9, 2014.

10. Question. Of the courses required to be taught, are there any that are new to DLA; that have not been taught by anyone else to date? Answer. No they are commercial off the shelf courses.

11. Question. Am I of the understanding that the contractor is to provide all course materials? How much can the contractor expect from the DLA in relation to course materials? Answer. Contractor provides all course material.

12. Question. Are you looking to have the complete list of instructors at submission of this bid? Answer.

Yes. Offers need to show a sufficient understanding of the requirement and capability to perform.

13. Question. Will a cost per location per day (8-hours), including per deim and travel be sufficient?

SP470514R0028-0001

Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA. During task order competition offers with the lowest travel may have a competitive advantage.

14. Question. Will SF 1449 be required to be filled out for this bid? That being stated, what is the full requirement for submission? Answer. Yes, offers should be completed on a SF 1449 and supplemental attachments pursuant the solitation and amendments expressed requirements. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA for more details.

15. Question. Does DLA have a budget for this training? If so, what is it? Answer. Yes. Contracts are not awarded without sufficient funding.

16. Question. Do you require that the "instructions to offerors" document be filled in also? Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

17. Question. I was wondering when the amendment for the subject solicitation would be released on FBO.

Also, will that amendment also include an extension to the proposal submission date and time? Offerors will need time to prepare responses based on the amendment. Amendment 0001. Answer. SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA was posted on FedBizOpps on September 26, 2014 under solicitation number SP470514R0028. The solicitation closing date was extended by 3 days from October 6, 2014 to October 9, 2014.

19. Question. What are the proposal instructions as they were not provided? Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

20. Question. What is the delivery method for proposals as they were not provided? Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA.

21. Question. What is the total number of courses to be presented each year and the number of days needed to teach the course. Please define the 10-30% reference on page 27. Answer. See SP4705-14-R-00280001 QnA. The courses and schedule can change by an estimated 10% to 30% per yer.

22. Question. Does the DLA have a pricing model showing the expected (or evaluated) numbers of courses per month, length and topics for the courses beyond that provided beginning on page 27? Answer. This is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity, firm fixed price type contract with performance specifications, which will have competitively awarded task orders. Labor hours, time & materials, or cost type contracting is not applicable. Market competition will determine pricing.

23. Question. Please provide a list of qualified local contract instructors who teach at DLA on RFP Page 27 RFP: what is the meaning of the column marked "f/yr" Answer. Offerors are required to sufficient understanding, qualified personnel and resources available to meet the solicitation’s expressed requirements.
