1. Q: This is a clarification of Question 3 originally submitted on December 8, 2020: W15QKN21R0017, RFP, Page 82, Section L, L.4.4.6, Are the Small Business Percentages listed in the table example percentages only or are these the applicable Small Business Participation goals for this procurement? Please confirm whether or not there are Small Business Participation goals for this procurement.
A: The percentages and values in the table in section L.4.4.6 are just an example of what the submission should look like (ie how much total contract dollars are going to each socio-economic category business and then what the corresponding percentage of participation comes to). The values should be put in their table depend on what is practicable for that acquisition and should match your own subcontracting plan (and any goals that may have been given to them).
2. W15QKN21R0017, RFP, Pricing, “Will the USG consider allowing Offerors to propose an EPA clause for specialty metals, in order to decrease overall price for years 2-5?”
A: EPA clause is dependent on the material and volatility of the metal. Hard to answer this without knowing what specialty metal they are requesting the EPA clause on. Provide information on what metals are referred to and their volatility.
3. This is a clarification of Question 3 originally submitted on December 8, 2020: W15QKN21R0017, RFP, Pricing, Will the USG consider allowing Offerors to propose a price reopener for cost variances for Government-Owned/Government-Operated (GOGO)/Government-Owned/Contractor-Operated (GOCO) facilities that will only offer Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF)/Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing?
A: No reopener will be provided.
4. How does the USG intend to proceed with the CLINs that require a quote that includes the M148A1B1 cartridge cases as the JMC Cartridge Case Facility is unable to provide anything other than a “quote for budgetary purposes only”? Would the M148A1B1 cases be subject to a contract modification should the actual pricing come in significantly higher than the Budgetary Quote provided. Along with their quote, the JMC Cartridge Case Facility has responded with the following language: “The provided quote is for a cost reimbursable effort which needs to be finalized via a Work For Private Parties (WFPP) agreement to be executed between NSWC IHD and [contractor].”
A: This requirement is for a FFP contract, and should proposed in accordance with the RFP.
5. A0009 is a PDF, but there are references to drop-downs not available in the PDF. Do we need an
Excel version of A0009?
A: Even though this is a PDF, the choices for the drop down are listed and can be used for the fill in.
6. Given the cost-reimbursable WFPP agreement requirement from the USG’s cartridge case facility, will the USG consider one (1) of the following three (3) modifications:
− Add a cost-type CLIN, for each Ordering Period, to the RFP for the procurement, Dimensional
FAAT, and NRE of M148A1B1 cartridge cases only?
− Provide GFM M148A1B1 cartridge cases for all Ordering Periods?
− Add a re-opener clause into the RFP, strictly relating to the M148A1B1 cartridge, that states that if the supplier quoted price changes by ≥ 5%, the USG will re-open the CLIN for negotiation.
A: The offeror should propose in accordance with the FRP as provided.
7. W15QKN21R0017, RFP, Page 82, Section L, L.4.4.6, Are the Small Business Percentages listed in the table example percentages only or are these the applicable Small Business Participation goals for this procurement? Please confirm whether or not there are Small Business Participation goals for this procurement.
A: The percentages and values in the table in section L.4.4.6 are just an example of what the submission should look like (i.e. how much total contract dollars are going to each socio-economic category business and then what the corresponding percentage of participation comes to). The values the contractor should put in their table depend on what is practicable for that acquisition and should match their subcontracting plan (and any goals that may have been given to them)
