Att 1_MCAS Yuma_QA_FINAL.pdf

1. Q: The CBA provides vacation accrual that scales based on employee seniority. Will the Government please provide the incumbent’s workforce seniority dates so all offerors can price holiday, sick, and vacation-related fringe on an equal basis? If the seniority dates cannot be provided, please confirm the Government will not provide an equitable adjustment post award, as it is the offerors responsibility to bid all holiday, sick, and vacation-related fringe?

A: The Government is unable to provide workforce seniority dates as the CBA is an agreement between the current contractor and the union. Per section 1.3 of the CBA, the agreement is binding to successors. Therefore, no equitable adjustment will be provided post-award until the CBA expires and a new one is negotiated.

2. Q: The contract requires handling CUI, including Independent Public Accountant audits, installation air shows letters, installation command memos, DLA Form 2063, and other Government-provided CUI. The current solicitation does not identify a required CMMC level or include the applicable updated cybersecurity language under DARS Tracking Number 2026-O0025, “Revolutionary FAR Overhaul” Part 40 / DFARS Part 240. Please confirm whether performance of this requirement will require contractor information systems to process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI, and if so, amend the solicitation to identify the applicable CMMC level and include the required CMMC solicitation provision/contract clause language, including the Contracting Officer-inserted CMMC level 2.

A: DFARS Subpart 204.7303, 204.7052, and 204.7503 have been temporarily suspended.

However, DFARS clauses 252.204-7012, 252.204-7021, and 252.204-7025 have been added due to the updated guidance.

3. Q: Can the Government clarify what documentation or reporting it expects from the SDVOSB prime to demonstrate ongoing compliance with SDVOSB eligibility and limitations on subcontracting during contract performance?

A: SDVOSB is a designation that is maintained by the U.S. Small Business Administration. DLA Energy does not regulate SDVOSB compliance, eligibility, and limitations. DLA Energy requires compliance with SDVOSB eligibility and limitations through the U.S. Small Business Administration. Therefore, all documentation and reporting expectations for compliance for SDVOSB should be provided to U.S. Small Business Administration not DLA-Energy. Offerors need to check with the U.S. Small Business Administration to verify their requirements, compliance, and limitations on subcontracting during contract performance.

4. Q: Reference RFP document, Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Sep 2023), (a) Submission of Offers, (e) Evidence of Responsibility.

7. Q: Will consideration be given to SDVOSBs capable of fully self-performing operational and managerial elements of the contract, compared to SDVOSBs proposing joint ventures or significant subcontracting?

A: No, additional consideration will not be given to the different types of SDVOSBs.

Offerors only need to meet the eligibility requirements and certification of the U.S. Small Business Administration.

8. Q: For compliance monitoring, will the Government conduct periodic reviews to ensure the SDVOSB remains the controlling and managing entity throughout the contract lifecycle, rather than a nominal participant in a large team arrangement?

A: DLA-E will not conduct periodic reviews to ensure the SDVOSB remains in compliance. That requirement belongs to the U.S. Small Business Administration.

9. Q: Will the Government clarify any preference for offerors capable of delivering management, staffing, and technical performance independently, without reliance on third-party teaming or incumbent partner integration?

A: There is no preference for the management, staffing, and technical performance for SDVOSBs. The offeror must meet the requirements of the U.S. Small Business Administration for SDVOSBs and Joint Ventures if one is proposed.

10. Q: Does the evaluation approach distinguish between an SDVOSB directly managing end-to-end execution versus models where larger contractors integrate as subs or in joint ventures?

13. Q: Will the Government provide updated incumbent labor rosters, seniority lists, or information on pending grievances to facilitate workforce transition and minimize start-up disruption?

A: The Government cannot provide that information as the CBA is between the current contractor and the union. It is the awardee’s responsibility to reach out to both parties to gather the necessary information. The Government can help facilitate those conversations with the awardee, if needed.

14. Q: Will there be incentives, evaluation points, or reporting mechanisms that recognize the value and risk mitigation inherent in a sole SDVOSB prime model with clear accountability and unified management structure?

A: Please refer to Technical/Management evaluation factor listed in Section M of the solicitation, starting on p135.

15. Q: In the contract’s reporting and compliance review, how will DLA Energy distinguish between SDVOSB self-performance and performance attributed to partners, affiliates, or team members under different arrangements?

A: DLA -E does not distinguish between the different partners, affiliates, or team members. The entity is evaluated as a whole in accordance to the rules and regulations monitored by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
