Amendment 0005

Attachment A

Question Number

Question Answer

1. CLIN 0001 covers a single 48-month base period at one fixed monthly rate. Will FAR 52.222-43 price adjustments be applied annually on the contract anniversary within the base period, or only at exercise of CLIN 0002 in year five? Given the CBA expires 21 April 2027, this materially affects pricing.

The incumbent CBA expires 21 April 2027. Will the successor contractor’s obligation under SCA 4(c) extend to a renegotiated successor agreement, and how will resulting increases be handled under 52.222-43?

For bidding purposes, offerors should base their pricing for CLIN 0001 on the wage and benefit rates stipulated in the current, incorporated CBA. After the current CBA expires, the successful awardee may negotiate a new CBA. Once that new CBA is effective, the contractor must notify the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 52.222-43.

The contractor may then submit a request for an equitable adjustment to the contract price to cover the change in labor costs for the remainder of the base period, effective from the date the new CBA is implemented.

2. Is any economic price adjustment mechanism contemplated for non-labor cost elements over the 114-month term? If not, please confirm that offerors should build full escalation into the fixed monthly rates.

As this is a firm fixed price contract, all expenses and proposed pricing should cover all costs to include profit, anticipated inflation and market fluctuations shall be included in the monthly price for the respective base and option period.

3. Please confirm the total evaluated price formula:

(CLIN 0001 monthly × 48) + (CLIN 0002 monthly × 60) + (CLIN 0002 monthly × 6).

Confirming the price formula is correct. Offerors must complete Attachment VII as instructed in the solicitation. The formula contained therein is the definitive method that will be used for price evaluation.

4. Will the government release the incumbent’s currently approved FTE count and staffing matrix by position and shift? Absent this, offerors cannot calibrate staffing to the government’s expectation under an Acceptable/Unacceptable standard.

The Government cannot provide the requested incumbent’s FTE count or staffing matrix by position and shift, as this information is specific to the incumbent contractor’s technical and business solution and is not the Government’s data to release.

PWS, Appendix D, provides the required staffing positions (Key and Service Personnel) for the performance tasks specified in the PWS. This allows each contractor the opportunity to propose their own quantitative staffing business approach, in meeting, all normal or contingencies missions, simultaneous-operation, and downtimes during maintenance or repair durations.

5. Appendix G Table M-3a lists an average of 6 refuels on day shift and 4 on night shift (approximately 3,650 annually), while Table M-3b totals 1,222 aircraft servicing’s per year. Please reconcile — does the daily figure include ground product, organizational tank, and support equipment servicing?

PWS, Appendix G, Table M-3a, identifies 6 refuels on day shift and 4 on night shift. In a separate line; it identifies an average annual jet fuel gallons issued of 1.7M. This figure does not include ground products or organizational tanks, as it only includes services applicable to Jet Fuel Sales (e.g., aircraft support equipment).

Ground product, organizational tank, and other product services are identified in a separate line, within Table M-3a.

6. Appendix D states an ATM "may" be employed.

Will a proposal without a dedicated ATM be rated Acceptable under Sub-factor 1, provided a qualified TM alternate is identified?

PWS, Appendix D, has been updated to reflect “the Contractor shall employ an ATM” and updated PWS provided via Amendment 0005.

7. Please confirm which positions require which security clearance level (Secret versus NACI/Tier 1), and whether the government will sponsor clearance processing for incoming contractor personnel prior to the 1 November 2026 start.

PWS, C-5.5, Security, paragraph and Appendix H, confirms NACI requirements. The PWS, Appendix G, Supplement to C- 5.5, applicable to Reporting Emergency Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (REPOL), DD Form 254, and classified/secret requirements have been removed from this PWS. See updated PWS via Amendment 0005. The government cannot start processing security requirements for incoming contractor personnel until after contract award date has been accepted.

8. What is the current headcount of employees covered by the CBA, by classification and shift?

The Government cannot provide the requested anonymized workforce roster. Offerors are responsible for developing their own staffing plan based on the current requirements of the solicitation, Performance Work Statement (PWS), and the labor classifications outlined in the provided CBA.

9. Appendix G shows no hydrant facilities and marks all hydrant entries N/A. Please confirm that hydrant servicing vehicles (R-12 type) are not required at Patrick SFB.

PWS, Appendix G, Table M-3a., has been updated and hydrant entries indicating Non-Applicable (N/A), have been removed from the table. Contractor furnished special purpose refueling vehicles are not required in this PWS, which includes (R-12 Type). See updated PWS via Amendment 0005.

10. What is the minimum acceptable quantity of aviation truck refuelers and ground product refuelers? Will a proposal of three aviation refuelers plus one spare be considered sufficient for Sub-factor 4?

The government does not provide offerors with minimum or maximum acceptable quantities of refueling vehicles for any product.

The contractor is provided with the opportunity to propose their own quantitative vehicle fleet business approach (e.g., new, used, rebuilt, or remanufactured).

The contractors proposed quantitative vehicle fleet shall meet all normal missions, contingencies, simultaneous-operation, and downtimes during maintenance or repair durations.

Appendix F has been removed entirely from PWS. Contractor furnished special purpose mobile refueling vehicles for aviation and ground products are not required.

See updated PWS via Amendment 0005.

11. Given the anticipated 1 November 2026 start and typical 9- to 18-month lead times for specification-compliant aviation refuelers, will the government consider a phased fleet delivery schedule with government-furnished assets bridging the gap? If not, will certified used or refurbished units meeting all Appendix F specifications be acceptable?

Will a letter of commitment from a refueler supplier (rather than executed purchase orders or proof of ownership) satisfy the Sub-factor 4 requirement at proposal submission?

Does the requirement for refuelers to issue at 600 GPM apply to all units, or is the 300 GPM filtration minimum the controlling specification for the aircraft mix at Patrick (predominantly HH-60 and C- 130)?

For LOS compliance under FAR 52.219-14, please confirm that contractor-furnished vehicle lease or purchase costs are excluded from the calculation of the amount paid to non-similarly-situated subcontractors.

PWS does not require the contractor to provide special purpose vehicles. Appendix F has been removed entirely from PWS.

Contractor furnished, special purpose, mobile refueling vehicles for aviation, and ground products are not required. See updated PWS via Amendment 0005.

12. Appendix G states that government refueling and defueling vehicles "will be turned back into LRS Vehicle Maintenance for redistribution." Please confirm the date this occurs relative to contract start.

Appendix G has been updated, vehicles "will not be turned back into LRS Vehicle Maintenance” and the government confirms, there is no set date. See updated PWS via Amendment 0005.

13. FAR 52.219-9 Alternate II and DFARS 252.219- 7996 Alternate I (Small Business Subcontracting Plan) are incorporated. Please confirm whether a subcontracting plan is required from a small business prime under this 8(a) set-aside, and if so, when it is due.

No, a formal subcontracting plan is not required from a small business prime contractor on this 8(a) set-aside. The clauses are included to address a different requirement: the Limitations on Subcontracting. The clause FAR 52.219-9, with its Alternate II, is included in this solicitation because it is the appropriate clause for 8(a) contracts. This clause requires the contractor to agree to comply with the Limitations on Subcontracting outlined in FAR 52.219-14, which specifies the percentage of work that must be performed by the prime contractor's own employees.

14. If proposing as a Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture, must the SBA-approved JV agreement be submitted with the offer, or may it be provided prior to award?

the SBA-approved Mentor- Protégé Joint Venture agreement must be submitted with your initial offer. It cannot be provided later, prior to award.

15. Since the site visit was limited to 6 August, will the government provide facility condition reports, tank inspection records (API 653), current environmental permits, the SPCC plan, and leak detection system status to all offerors?

The government cannot provide facility condition reports, tank inspection records (API 653), current environmental permits, the SPCC plan, and leak detection system status to offerors.

Historical maintenance data required for contract turnover shall be available during turnover.

PWS, Appendices, References, and UFM 3-460-03, Appendix C, Maintenance Table identifies the required fuel infrastructure, assets, equipment, and operating systems, associated with (Operator and System Maintenance), to ensure, the contractor can propose their own, contractor-furnished, Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).

16. Appendix G lists no oil/water separators and no pre-identified confined spaces but notes the contractor shall validate confined spaces. Please confirm that no confined space entry program cost should be assumed at bid.

Appendix G confirms no pre-identified confined spaces.

However, it does require the contractor to establish a confined space program applicable to C-6.1.10 Training Plan. Offeror cost to confine space entry program remains applicable to training of contractor personnel and capabilities.

17. What is the current condition and remaining service life of the Veeder-Root ATG systems, Gasboy AMSS pedestals, and EPoS tablets, and who bears replacement cost when they fail?

The government cannot provide current condition and remaining service life of the Veeder-Root ATG systems, Gasboy AMSS pedestals, and EPoS tablets to offerors. Historical maintenance data required for contract turnover shall be available during turnover.

PWS, Section C-5.8.2, provides Incidental Equipment, Property, and Services to be operated and maintained by the Contractor under Operator Maintenance. The System Maintenance requirements applicable to replacement cost remain governmental responsibility, unless damaged by the contractor.

18. PWS C-5.3.3 references SRM/MILCON. What is the contractor’s expected role and cost responsibility for SRM projects during the performance period?

PWS C-5.3.3, SRM/MILCON is funded and executed by the Government. The contractor’s support is limited to operational contract control labor (e.g., stripping tank bottoms, system isolation, environmental and safety concerns)

19. Are there any known or pending environmental remediation actions (including PFAS/AFFF, common at Air Force and Space Force installations) within the contractor’s area of responsibility?

Currently there are no known or pending environmental remediation actions (including PFAS/AFFF, common at Air Force and Space Force installations) within the contractor’s area of responsibility listed in Appendix G.

20. Please confirm the anticipated award date, given the 1 November 2026 start and the requirement for a 10-working-day joint turnover.

We look forward to your response.

The Government has not established a firm date for contract award. However, the Government is fully aware of the 10-working-day joint turnover requirement.

The Government anticipates an award will be made in sufficient time to ensure the successful offeror can complete the mandatory transition period prior to the 1 November 2026 performance start date.
