Amendment 0001______________

The purpose of this amendment is to address two (2) questions from industry below. This amendment also updates the Instructions, Conditions, and Notice to Offerors Section L.4.1.1 d-i.

Question 1: Section L.4.3.2.1 states that "Offerors shall submit only one fully loaded labor rate for each labor category for each ordering period in Attachment 0002. The fully loaded labor rates shall be inclusive of direct labor, indirect costs and profit. Offerors shall propose a fully loaded labor rate for all labor categories and ordering periods. Please clarify the requested fully loaded labor rate for each labor category that should be submitted. Are the loaded labor rates for each labor category being requested, the prime contractor rate only, or should it be composite rate that represents the prime and subcontractor rates? Obviously, we will provide either a prime contractor only rate or prime/subcontractor composite rate. We just want to be certain that we submit what was intended.

This fully loaded labor rate is different from similar previous ID/IQ RFPs weve had experience with, where separate rates for efforts performed by the prime contractor, and each major subcontractor, were requested.

USG Response: Only one fully burdened labor rate is required for each labor category. It is the Offeror's determination as to how to derive that rate from the prime rate and any subcontractors' rates.

Question 2: The US Army in general and the Fire Control System in particular have UUTs that require or could utilize our technology. I would like to know how we could bid on some aspects of the above solicitation that we could perform as SBIR Phase III tasks. Can you please advised on how we could perform under this IDIQ project services relating only to high speed UUTs and under SBIR Phase III effort? In the alternative, can you please direct me to the right person we should contact.

USG Response: The Solicitation Evaluation Factors for Award - Minimum Acceptability states "If an Offeror takes exception to any of the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the offer may not be considered for contract award". In addition, the solicitation and any subsequent contract(s) are separate from any current SBIR.
