The following are questions submitted by interested parties and the Government’s responses. An offeror’s question may not appear in the exact wording or format submitted.

1. Question: Is it possible to take out the language found under the Statement of Work section 14 of the RFP

– Risk of Loss or Damage?

Response: This language will remain as currently stated in the RFP.

2. Question: Is this a must supply contract once a vendor gets awarded a BPA?

Response: As stated on page 7 of the RFP, Statement of Work, 1. Scope, "The Government intends to make multiple award five-year indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) supply contracts with post-award competition of delivery orders." Resultant contracts will not be BPAs. All awardees will be required to respond to the individual post-award RFQs and perform on any resultant delivery order.

3. Question: Are we allowed price increases thru the term of the contract?

Response: As stated on page 9 of the RFP, Statement of Work, 11. Pricing, "For the Generator Sets, weekly and monthly rental prices for each band size for each pricing period shall be firm fixed ceiling prices after contract award. All direct and indirect costs associated with leasing/rental of the Generator Sets shall be included in these firm fixed prices. Prices are exclusive of Transportation and BOM. There will be five one year pricing periods under the contract and they will be sequential. Pricing periods are applicable to the Lease/Rental Price for each band size of Generator Sets." Price increases for the Generator sets shall be included as part of the ceiling pricing provided for each pricing period. As stated on page 29, FAR 52.212-1, D. Instructions to Offerors Price Proposal (Volume II), "1. Offers shall fill out Tabs 1 through 3 in the provided spreadsheet." The Price Proposal Spreadsheet provided as part of the RFP has cells identified to provide pricing for the five one year pricing periods in Tab 1 Lease/Rental Generator Sets (Line Items 0001 through 0012). Ceiling prices are required for each Generator Set band size for each pricing period. As stated on page 9, Statement of Work, 11. Pricing, "Selected Awardees will be allowed to propose delivery order specific pricing for transportation, BOMs (support material) and any other mission related requirements during the post-award competition of delivery orders." During the post-award competition of delivery orders, awardees may offer lower pricing for the Generator Sets based on the specific delivery order requirements, but may not exceed their firm fixed ceiling prices during each applicable pricing period.

4. Question: In the RFP, Scope of Work - section 3 "Products" part b, “Generator Sets shall be rated for prime power. Specific requirements for voltage, phase and configurations will be identified in each post-award Delivery Order Request for Quote (RFQ). Generators shall be equipped with fuel tanks allowing continuous operation for at least 24 hrs. at the full load power rating without refueling. Generator Sets shall also include an hour meter, manufacturer's operation and maintenance manuals, specification/capacity plates, and unique 6-digit identification numbers. A complete set of spare filters shall be provided.” The new Tier4 generators don't have the capacity as the older units due to the smaller top tank. Is the DLA willing to deviate off this spec requirement?

Response: The requirement remains as stated.

5. Question: Regarding the required socio-economic plan (page 27, Factor I, technical subfactor b) of the RFP, is there a precedent we should look to for setting goals? Will DLA allow lower goals than these if necessary?

Response: The Socio-Economic plan is separate from the Subcontracting plan. All offerors all required to submit a Socio-Economic plan. In this negotiated competitive acquisition, DOD is required to evaluate an

SPE8EG16R0005-0001

offeror’s proposed use of small business concerns. The Socio-Economic Plan shall be submitted in accordance with the Instructions to Offerors Non-Price Proposal on pages 27 and 28 of the RFP and evaluated as stated in Non-Price Proposal Evaluation on page 31 of the RFP. As stated on page 27, “all offerors shall provide a socio-economic plan to provide maximum practicable subcontracting opportunities” and “at a minimum, offerors shall propose a goal for small business.”

6. Question: With regards to the subcontracting plan required (p. 6, No. 7) of the RFP, clarify what is required and how it is different from the socio-economic plan. In addition, (1) is it to be a broader plan at a higher level not specific to this RFP, (2) must it be an example previously approved by a USG client?

Response: The Socio-Economic plan is separate from the Subcontracting plan. All offerors all required to submit a Socio-Economic plan as part of their Non-Price Proposals.

All large business must also submit a subcontracting plan. The Subcontracting Plan shall be in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 and DFARS 252.219-7003 included in the RFP. Annual company-wide or division-wide plans with individual goals are acceptable but not required. Commercial plans are preferred but not required.

Individual plans for this proposed acquisition may be submitted. Subcontracting goals should be set at a level that the parties reasonably expect can result from the offeror expending good faith efforts to use small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business subcontractors to the maximum practicable extent.

Concerns should have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance. The contracting officer shall take particular care to ensure that the offeror has not submitted unreasonably low goals to minimize exposure to liquidated damages and to avoid the administrative burden of substantiating good faith efforts Additionally, particular attention should be paid to the identification of steps that, if taken, would be considered a good faith effort. No goal should be negotiated upward if it is apparent that a higher goal will significantly increase the Government’s cost or seriously impede the attainment of acquisition objectives
