NOTE: The following are questions received from industry in response to the Synopsis posting on SAM.gov on May 15, 2025 under Notice ID SPE5B1-25-R-0002

Q&A Update III (June 6, 2025):

1) Q: Could you please confirm that, as stated in the announcement, the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) will be posted on the Government Point of Entry (SAM.gov) on or after June 15, 2025?

DLA Response: Correct

2) Q: Regarding the Proposal Response Date indicated in the source draft RFP as July 17, 2025, could you confirm whether this is a tentative date and subject to change upon the formal release of the RFP?

DLA Response: The Proposal Response Date will be 45 days from the date the Request for Proposals (RFP) document is issued on SAM.gov. The indicated Proposal Response Date has been amended in the draft solicitation attachment to July 30, 2025. This date is subject to change upon publication of the finalized RFP.

3. Could you confirm that the deadline to submit clarification questions during the Pre-Solicitation phase is June 15, 2025?

DLA Response: Correct.

4. The existing presolicitation does not include any material lists. Will you be posting the list as a solictation or an ammendment?

DLA Response: A draft Price Evaluation List (PEL) was added as an attachment to the Synopsis announcement on May 22, 2025. This draft is subject to change. The full list of attachments will be posted with the finalized RFP on or after June 15, 2025.

5. Reference: Page 9, Draft RFP – Section 17 “Proposals MUST BE prepared and submitted in five (5) volumes in accordance with the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, section entitled: SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SUBMISSION OF PROPOSAL INFORMATION. Volume I shall consist of the Technical Proposal, which must be devoid of any reference to cost or price. Volume II shall consist of the Past Performance Proposal, Volume III shall consist of the Local Sourcing Proposal, Volume IV shall consist of the Price Proposal in the format provided on the PEL list, and Volume V shall consist of the offeror’s signed copies of the SF 1449, Solicitation, and any Amendments issued, along with the offeror’s completed fill-ins and certifications as required by the Solicitation. The Addendums to the above-cited FAR 52.212-1 and 52.212-2 provisions provide instructions on the preparation and evaluation of proposals.”

Clarification Request:

If an offeror intends to submit a proposal for multiple zones, is it acceptable to submit a single Volume I (Technical Proposal) and a single Volume II (Past Performance Proposal) to cover all zones, or is a separate set of these volumes required for each zone?

DLA Response: The Government’s intent is to require a separate set of these proposal volumes for each zone, even if an offeror is bidding on multiple zones. Although the zones are being solicited under the same RFP, each of the three zones represent a separate and individual contract that will be awarded. Proposal submissions must include all volumes of proposal requirements for each zone being offered on. This will be further clarified in the finalized RFP document.

6. Are there any updates or additional details regarding the upcoming pre-proposal conference scheduled for July 9, 2025, MRO TLS opportunity that may not yet be reflected on SAM.gov. Specifically, could you please confirm whether the conference will be held virtually or in person?

DLA Response: The pre-proposal conference is tentatively scheduled for July 9, 2025. Shortly after the RFP is published, an announcement will be posted on SAM.gov with the definitive pre-proposal conference date and RSVP information. DLA’s intent is to hold the conference virtually.
