*** End of Narrative A0000 ***

1. The prupose of Amendment 0004 is to answer questions from industry.

QUESTION 1: Does an Offerors proposal, in responding to Section L, need to be responsive with regard to capabilities and prior experience (for purpose of the Governments evaluation) to all Sections of Section C, Statement of Work, and the CDRLs?

Answer: Yes. The Offeror shall provide detailed narrative discussions that address the SOW as well as all of the Contract Data

Requirements List (CDRLs). Except for prior experience submissions in the Past Performance Volume, all supporting information submitted in response to Section L.4 should be specific to Small Caliber (SC) Ammunition Engineering Design and Manufacturing Technology to

Support SC Programs.

QUESTION 2: If an Offeror provides sufficient response to the Section L requirements while acknowledging an understanding (not necessarily currently capable or with prior experience) of the potential tasks of Section 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, will the Offerors proposal be considered responsive?

Answer: Yes. The Government expects that there are Offerors who may not currently have all of the required capabilities. Offerors should acknowledge areas where capabilities are not currently met, and provide detail on how those areas would be met if selected for award.

Question 3: In regard to Volume V, is any Pricing Data to be included in Volume V, such as the active Attachment 0007 and 0008 excel sheets or other price supporting excel sheets? How about the hard copies? What volumes are they to be contained in? Are the CDs (the number required) to be delivered with each Volume, all in Volume V or delivered in a separate package?

Answer: No, attachment 0007 and 0008 excel sheets and other price supporting data shall be included in Price Volume II. Paper copies are to be contained within the volumes. CDs (the number required) are to be delivered with each volume in Volume V.

2. Section L.3.1 was updated to show that there is no page limit for Volume IV Small Business Participation.

3. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall be submitted in Volume V.

4. All terms and conditions remain the same and are in full force and effect.

The Offeror shall propose FFP rates for task orders at or below the rates contained in their contract. Contractors will have the opportunity to propose lower fully loaded FFP labor rates for competitive orders but may not exceed what is incorporated in Section B of the basic contract.

L.4.2.6 For a detailed description of the labor categories, see Section B of the solicitation which contains labor category definitions.

L.4.2.7 Hours, Material, Travel/ODCs, and Use of Government Property (if applicable) shall be negotiated on a task order by task order basis. Task Orders will be issued in accordance with the procedures for future task orders as stated in Section H of the solicitation.

L.4.2.8 Unbalanced Pricing - If the Offerors prices appear unbalanced when comparing labor rates from ordering period to ordering period, the Offeror shall provide documentation, including calculations and supporting rationale, explaining the apparent unbalanced pricing.

L.4.2.9 CDRLs - The CDRLs shall be not separately priced (NSP), but the Offeror is required to complete blocks 17 and 18 on each DD 1423 form. The DD 1423 forms shall be included in the proposal submission.

L.4.2.10 Each Ordering Period Year of the contract shall be from the date of award until one year later. For example, with an estimated award date of 14 November 2016, the ordering periods would be as follows:

Ordering Period 1: 14 November 2016 to 13 November 2017

Ordering Period 2: 14 November 2017 to 13 November 2018

Ordering Period 3: 14 November 2018 to 13 November 2019

Ordering Period 4: 14 November 2019 to 13 November 2020

Ordering Period 5: 14 November 2020 to 13 November 2021

L.4.3 VOLUME III FACTOR 3 PAST PERFORMANCE

L.4.3.1 Offerors shall identify pertinent past history, which indicates that similar efforts of equal or greater complexity have been performed using the Offerors existing plant capability and demonstrate satisfaction of customer requirements.

L.4.3.2 Offerors shall submit a list of all recent Government contracts (prime and major subcontracts) in performance or awarded to the

Offeror and any of its major subcontractors within the past three (3) years, or awarded earlier than three (3) years ago, but for which deliveries/performance occurred or were scheduled to occur within the past three (3) years, which are relevant to the efforts required by the solicitation. Data concerning the prime Offeror shall be provided first, followed by each proposed major subcontractor, in alphabetical order. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by the Offerors in their proposals may be used to evaluate the Offerors past performance. The Government plans to rely on existing documentation from Federal databases to the maximum extent practicable. Sources of existing information available to the Government include, but are not limited to, Past Performance

Information and Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and Electronic

Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS). The Government may use past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror. The Government reserves the right to use or not use past performance information submitted by the Offeror based on whether or not adequate recorded past performance information is available in its Federal databases. Since the Government may not necessarily interview any or all of the sources provided by the Offerors, it is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the Offerors. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph may result in rejection or receipt of a high performance risk evaluation by the Government. This volume shall be organized into the following sections:

(1) Section 1 Contract Descriptions. This section shall include the following information in the following format:

(a) Contractor/Subcontractor place of performance, CAGE Code and DUNS Number. If the work was performed as a subcontractor, also provide the name of the prime contractor and Point of Contact (POC) within the prime contractor organization (name, and current address, e-mail address, and telephone and fax numbers).

PLEASE NOTE: While an Offeror may submit past performance information on relevant efforts where they performed as a major subcontractor, the Government does not have privity with subcontracts and therefore, may not be able to obtain qualitative information.

Indefinite Delivery contracts, indicate specific type (Requirements, Definite Quantity, and Indefinite Quantity) and secondary contract type (FP, CR, T&M, etc)).

(h) Awarded price/cost.

(i) Final or projected final price/cost.

(j) Original delivery schedule, including dates of start and completion of work.

(k) Final or projected final, delivery schedule, including dates of start and completion of work.

L.4.4 VOLUME IV FACTOR 4: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION

L.4.4.1 The Small Business Participation Factor Volume is comprised of a single chapter. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient detail to permit a complete evaluation. Any information provided as part of the Small Business Participation Factor Volume may be used to correlate the evaluation of the other proposal volumes.

L.4.4.2 This provision applies to every U.S. Offeror, regardless of size status or locations of working facilities or headquarters. For proposal preparation purposes, the Offeror's Small Business Participation proposals shall be consistent with any subcontracting references/identification contained elsewhere in any other Factor Volume. Percentages are calculated using proposed total contract price as the denominator and include first-tier subcontractors only. For the purpose of evaluating Small Business Participation, the total contract price is based on the total contract maximum which is $65,000,000. Offerors shall also explain their rationale as to why the percentage of SB participation being utilized for this effort is appropriate for their company. Offerors shall describe their approach and efforts undertaken to utilize small businesses (SB). SB targets will be incorporated into any resulting prime contract and contractors will be required to report SB participation.

L.4.4.3 All Offerors, including Offerors who are themselves U.S. small business concerns based on the NAICS code assigned to this requirement, are to identify the extent to which U.S. small business concerns will be utilized as first-tier subcontractors in the performance of this proposed contract. U.S. small business concerns are defined (1) in FAR 19.001 and (2) by the criteria and size standards in FAR 19.102 for the applicable NAICS code. U.S. small business concerns include Small Businesses (SBs), Small Disadvantaged

Businesses (SDBs), Woman-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs), HUBZone Small Businesses (HUBZone SBs), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs), and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs).

L.4.4.4 If the Offeror (to include any U.S. small business concerns who are proposing as part of a joint venture or teaming arrangement) is itself a U.S. small business concern, the Offeror's own participation as a SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, or SDVOSB will also be considered small business participation for the purpose of this evaluation. In this event, the extent of the Offeror participation as a

U.S. small business concern shall be detailed in the same manner as subcontracts to first-tier U.S. small business concerns.

L.4.4.5 Small Business Amounts: All Offerors shall address anticipated U.S. small business concern participation and subcontracting based on the total contract dollars proposed by the Offeror.

L.4.4.6 The Offeror shall provide information for small business participation and subcontracting in a table format in accordance with the following example:

VOSB $1.55 3.60% $1.55 of $43.00

SDVOSB $1.46 3.40% $1.46 of $43.00

L.4.4.6.1 Guidance for filling in the above "Small Business Participation" Table:

(a) Include first-tier subcontractors only. Note that members of a joint venture may be considered the Offeror or the first tier subcontractors, depending on the legal form of the joint venture as defined in its agreement document.

(b) If the Offeror is a U.S. small business concern, detail the extent of the Offeror participation as a U.S. small business concern in the same manner as subcontracts to first tier U.S. small business concerns.

(c) Percentages should be rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.

L.4.4.6.2 Additional Guidance for particular Business Categories:

(a) For "Contract Total Price": Include the Offeror's proposed Total Contract Price on this line.

(b) For SB: Include U.S. small business concerns from all categories (i.e. SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, SDVOSB and HBCU/MI) in the dollars and percentage on this line. The SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB and SDVOSB are subcategories of SB and the dollars in each of these may not add to match the total dollars in the SB line due to the following: In some cases the same dollars may be reported in more than one block (i.e., a $10,000 subcontract to a Woman-Owned Small Business that is also a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business should be entered on four rows: $10,000 under SB, $10,000 under WOSB, $10,000 under VOSB and $10,000 under SDVOSB). Be sure that the dollars are counted in the SB line only once and not four times (e.g. $40,000 representing the same firm participating at $10,000 in differing categories). Note that the SB percentage is not simply a total of the percentages of each SB subcategory and must be calculated separately as shown in the chart.

(c) For HUBZone SB: Include only "SBA certified" HubZone SBs.
