Executive Summary_________________

THIS SOLICITATION IS A 100% TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE.

The Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of Project Manager Soldier Weapons (PM SW), has a requirement to satisfy the Program Management Technical Services Support for the Army.

It is the United States Government intent to award up to 4 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts with Firm Fixed

Price (FFP) Task Orders, however the Government reserves the right to award more if it is in the best interest of the Government. The contract(s) will include 5 ordering periods to cover FY18 - FY22 Army and Department of Defense (DoD) Technical Services Support requirements.

The contract(s) will have a Period of Performance of five years with a total program ceiling of $24,457,362.00 and a contract minimum guarantee of $2,500.00 which will be satisfied with the completion of the Start of Work Meeting.

As future needs for the Technical Services Support are identified during the 5 years of the contract(s), FFP Task Orders will be competed among the Offerors who have been awarded an ID/IQ base contract. See Section H.

Task Orders will be issued on an as needed basis by labor category as they are identified throughout the Period of Performace, beginning with Ordering Period 1. After Ordering Period 1 is completed, Tasks will be ordered on as as needed basis by either exercising the option for another year of service or recompeted in the next Ordering Period, and so on and so forth, as the need for the service is identified. The Government reserves the right to either exercise the option OR recompete in the next Ordering Period of the Period of

Performance.

The Government reserves the right to issue at least 1 single award or multiple awards up to 4, however the Government reserves the right to award more if it is in the best interest of the Government, ID/IQ contract(s) with FFP Task orders as a result of this Request for

Proposal (RFP). The basis for award of contracts resulting from this solicitation will be the results of the evaluation of the Factors specified in Section M of the solicitation utilizing the Best Value Trade-off (BVTO) Source Selection methodology.

*** END OF NARRATIVE A0001 ***

The purpose of Amendment 0002 to Solicitation W15QKN-17-R-0016 is to respond to Questions from Industry that result in changes to the

Request for Proposal (RFP) as follows:

QUESTION 1: Page 65 of the RFP, paragraph L.2.3.1.a., it indicates that we are required to submit the CDRL "...DD Form 1423 with Blocks

17 and 18 completed..." which are price fields for each CDRL item. However, on page 13 in Section B, the price field for CLIN 0009 -

CDRL is already marked with **NSP**. Does the Government anticipate bidders to include CDRL pricing on DD Form 1423 or are these items not separately priced?

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 1: All CDRLs are updated to state "NSP" in Block 17 and therefore, Block 18 is left blank as it is Not Applicable

(N/A). The language at paragraph L.2.3.1.a. remains unchanged as this sentences is caveated with "if required", this Block is not required to be filled out per this revision to the CDRLs dated 19 June 2017. With this change, Exhibit A is obsolete, please refer to

Exhibit B.

QUESTION 2: Page 67 of the RFP, paragraph L.3.3.4. it indicates that "...files shall be compressed (zipped) into one file using WinZIP version 6.2 or later...". As the entire proposal file will fit on a single CD, and direct uploading or emailing is not required, does the Government require bidders to compress their files on the CDs using WinZip?

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 2: If the entire proposal fits onto a CD, then zipping the file using WinZip is not required. If Offerors are zipping the proposal onto a CD, then zipping must be done using WinZip, verison 6.2 or later.

QUESTION 3: Page 73 of the RFP, paragraph M.4.1. SUBFACTOR 1: Corporate Knowledge & Experience, it states "The Government will evaluate the Offerors proposed previous contracts/projects details to determine the adequacy of their knowledge, experience, and capabilities..."

Does the Government intend to use a bidders past performance to evaluate the Technical Volume SUBFACTOR 1? Should bidders include past performance citations in the Technical Volume to demonstrate technical knowledge and experience?

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 3: Subfactor 1: Corporate Knowledge & Experience is eliminated from the Evaluation Factors as a Subfactor; all references to any Subfactors are removed throughout the RFP. Sequentially, the Past Performance Factor has been updated. Please see updated paragraphs L.2.1.1., L.3.3.3., L.4., L.4.1.1., M.1.1., M.2., M.2.1.1., M.3.1.1., M.4., and M.4.1., FAR 52.212-2, and Narrative

A0001 for these changes.

QUESTION 4: Does the solicitation require that the prime contractor have a SECRET Facility Clearance Level (FCL) prior to award?

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 4: No. The personnel will be working at the Government's facility, not the Contractor's facility, and is thus, not required.

QUESTION 5: Page 69 of the RFP, paragraph L.4.3.2.(5); Attachment 0001 - Past Performance Questionnaire: The solicitation states "The

Offeror shall complete Part I of the Past Performance Questionnaire and e-mail the questionnaire to both the Government contracting activity and Technical Representative responsible for the past/current contract. The POCs shall be instructed to electronically complete

Part II of the questionnaire and e-mail the entire questionnaire to the Contracting Officer within 30 calendar days of the release of the RFP, to: gherin.fracasso.civ@mail.mil. The Offeror shall also e-mail to the Contracting Officer a list of all the POCs who were sent

3 43

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

a questionnaire. The Government must receive this list within 30 calendar days after release of the RFP." However, the Past Performance

Questionnaire (Attachment 0001) is provided as a non-editable PDF and without the signature of the Contracting Officer, Gherin Fracasso, on the cover letter meant to be provided to the customer points of contact. Will an editable Past Performance Questionnaire (Word

Document or PDF Form) and a PPQ Cover Letter with the date and signature line completed be provided so that this may be submitted to our customers for completion?

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 5: The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) Attachment 0001 is now obsolete. Please refer to Attachment 0010, as this is updated to include an editable version with the date and Contracting Officer's signature line included on the PPQ Cover Letter.

Offerors that have already submitted Past Performance Questionnaires need not revise submissions. These submissions are acceptable as is, as no imformation changed within the Attachment, it is just a format change.

QUESTION 6: Please clarify whether the Government will amend the deadline for PPQ submission to the Contracting Officer (Gherin

Fracasso) from "within 30 calendar days of the release of the RFP" to the date of proposal submission, 10 July 2017.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 6: The Government will match the Past Performance Questionnaire submission date to reflect the same date as the solicitation close date of the RFP, 10 July 2017 at 2:00pm Eastern Standard Time (EST).

QUESTION 7: Page 18 of the RFP, paragraph C.3.5.1., "The Contractor shall be knowledgeable on the subject of remote weapon station platforms. The Contractor shall have direct, unique Special Forces (SF) experience which facilitates his ability to effectively interact within the SF community." Is the Government allowing for experience with any SOCOM component (e.g. NSW, MARSOC, etc.), or is this limited to Army Special Forces community, as it appears in the PWS?

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 7: The Performance Work Statement (PWS) does not contain restrictions, therefore, the Government is allowing for any SOCOM, and does not limit to only Army experience.

QUESTION 8: All documents: We found several references to obsolete systems and processes. Would the Government please refresh terminology to current terms and processes for clarity.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 8: The Government has reviewed all terms and processes in the RFP. All references in the RFP are current terms and processes.

QUESTION 9: RFP references PBUSE: It is our understanding that PBUSE will be retired after FG-29 for WAVE2. Everything should be GCSS-

Army unless this is for Aviation. Recommend changing PBUSE to GCSS-A.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 9: GCSS-A is the known replacement for PBUSE, however PBUSE is still in effect until further notice, and is therefore referenced throughout the RFP. This will not be updated to GCSS-A, as there is no offical start date for GCSS-A, and PBUSE will continue to be used until further notice.

QUESTION 10: RFP/General Question: Is this 'new' work or a follow on contract to existing work? If follow on work, who are the incumbent(s)? If the current solicitation is a consolidation of multiple contracts or task orders, please identify the incumbent for each such contract or task order.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 10: This is considered to be a new requirement.

QUESTION 11: RFP any reference to CROWS: Specific requirement to address CROWS as an independent system requirement and no other system provides a distinct advantage to the incumbent Contractor supporting CROWS and does not present a level playing field if the evaluation criteria is used as stated in the RFP Section M.4. FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL and M.6. FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 11: All references to CROWS as an independent system are updated throughout the RFP to Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) language, including LINs 0002-0007 and paragraphs C.1.1.3., C.3.5. C.3.5.1., C.3.6., C.3.6.1., C.3.10.3., C.3.10.3.1., C.3.10.7., C.3.10.7.1., and L.4.1.1.'s items 2, 3, 10, and 14. Attachments 0008 and 0009 are obsolete and are replaced with Attachments 0011 and

0012.

QUESTION 12: Page 20 of the RFP, paragraph C.3.10.2. Logistics Analyst Asset Tracking Support & paragraph C.3.10.3. Logistics Specialist

Asset Tracking Support - CROWS: Logistics Analyst Tracking Support uses the same process and techniques regardless of the item being tracked. Making this task a unique CROWS task significantly reduces competition and provides the incumbent a distinct advantage in achieving the highest rating for technical and past performance. The incumbent will have an unfair advantage in knowing specific vs.

general requirements based on preference from PM CSW, CROWS that no other competitor will have. Additionally, with a 3 year limitation

4 43

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

on Past Performance and the current contract period of performance, only the incumbent can score a Substantial Confidence rating on

CROWS specific tasks. Since the processes and procedures are the same, PM SW can utilize the contractor to support any requirement under their portfolio.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 12: All references to CROWS as an independent system are updated throughout the RFP to Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) language, including LINs 0002-0007 and paragraphs C.1.1.3., C.3.5. C.3.5.1., C.3.6., C.3.6.1., C.3.10.3., C.3.10.3.1., C.3.10.7., C.3.10.7.1., and L.4.1.1.'s items 2, 3, 10, and 14. Attachments 0008 and 0009 are obsolete and are replaced with Attachments 0011 and

0012.

QUESTION 13: Page 21 of the RFP, paragraph C.3.10.7. Logistics, Shipping, Receiving, Warehouse Inventory Management, and Operation

Support - CROWS: Please refer to C.3.10.2. Logistics Analyst Asset Tracking Support & paragraph C.3.10.3. Logistics Specialist Asset

Tracking Support - CROWS, the same logic and distinct advantage to the incumbent applies.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 13: All references to CROWS as an independent system are updated throughout the RFP to Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) language, including LINs 0002-0007 and paragraphs C.1.1.3., C.3.5. C.3.5.1., C.3.6., C.3.6.1., C.3.10.3., C.3.10.3.1., C.3.10.7., C.3.10.7.1., and L.4.1.1.'s items 2, 3, 10, and 14. Attachments 0008 and 0009 are obsolete and are replaced with Attachments 0011 and

0012.

QUESTION 14: Page 20 of the RFP, paragraph C.3.10.3. Logistics Specialist Asset Tracking Support - CROWS & paragraph C.3.10.7.

Logistics, Shipping, Receiving, Warehouse Inventory Management, and Operation Support - CROWS: Please clarify if the task the Contractor will perform is only for the CROWS system. As written, any other requirement related to other products lines are outside of the scope and level of effort for this position.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 14: All references to CROWS as an independent system are updated throughout the RFP to Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) language, including LINs 0002-0007 and paragraphs C.1.1.3., C.3.5. C.3.5.1., C.3.6., C.3.6.1., C.3.10.3., C.3.10.3.1., C.3.10.7., C.3.10.7.1., and L.4.1.1.'s items 2, 3, 10, and 14. Attachments 0008 and 0009 are obsolete and are replaced with Attachments 0011 and

0012.

QUESTION 15: Page 67 of the RFP, paragraph L.4.1.1., Subfactor 1: Corporate Knowledge & Experience: Are any of the labor categories or positions listed under a collective bargaining agreement (CBA)? If so, please specify.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 15: No. Please note that Subfactor was eliminated from the RFP.

QUESTION 16: Page 69 of the RFP, paragraph L.4.2. Volume II - FACTOR 2: PRICE Since the Government incorporated by reference FAR 52.222-

41 SERVICE CONTRACT LABOR STANDARDS (MAY 2014), is the Government going to provide a Wage Determination for this contract?

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 16: This does not apply. FAR 52.212-5 is updated to un-check this clause and FAR 52.222-41 is removed as an independent Provision as a result of this change.

QUESTION 17: Page 69 of the RFP, Past Performance: Corporate capabilities/experience in the technical volume does not have a limit on timeframe, so we will be discussing experience that goes back longer than the past performance volume limitation of 3 years. Since that is the case, we will be discussion qualifications that the Government is unable to validate through documented past performance. Would the government consider extending the 3-year limitation on past performance to 5 years?

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 17: The Government will not be extending the limitation for past performance to 5 years. This will remain at the 3-year limitation as stated in the RFP. Please note that the Subfactor was removed from the RFP in the Technical Volume. Any Past

Performance information submitted shall only be in the Past Performance Factor's Volume. Please note that Subfactor was eliminated from the RFP.

QUESTION 18: Page 1 of the RFP, SF 1449, NAICS Code of 541330, Please clarify which size standard is applicable: Engineering Services

($15.0M), Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons ($38.5M), Contracts and Subcontracts for Engineering Services Awarded

Under the National Energy Policy Act of 1992 ($38.5M), Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture ($38.5M).

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 18: Engineering Services ($15.0M)

Are we required to submit cross-referencing pages AND indices? Or are both items one and the same? If they are two separate items, please detail what information should be provided in the Cross-Reference Pages AND Indices?
