*** End of Narrative A0000 ***

The purpose of Amendment 0004 is to:

1) Revise Solicitation section L.4.4.1

2) Answer questions posed by potential Offerors

Question 1. Assuming if there are no lobbying activities at all in the organization that Attachment 0008 (Disclosure of Lobbying

Activities) does not need to be submitted at all? I dont see anything on the form to indicate "none."

Answer: Attachment 0008 (Disclosure of Lobbying Activities) does not need to be submitted if there are no lobbying activities to disclose.

Question 2. On page 2 of 3 of Modification 0001 released on 12/15/21, the answer to Question 3 states: "The Table of Contents and Table of Charts do not count toward the 100 pages. However the introduction and QASP do count toward the 100 page count." This was a bit confusing as we did not think there was a writing requirement or action on our part related to the QASP except for reading and reviewing and understanding we would be held to its requirements. Is there something we may be missing there related to some QASP writing requirement?

Answer: It is correct that there is not a specific "requirement" or action related to the QASP. However if the Offeror chooses to address anything related to the QASP in Volume I of their proposal, it will count against the 100 page limit.

Question 3. Is it acceptable to submit Volume IV (Supplemental Forms), uploaded to SAFE, as a PDF? (When importing files with signatures as JPEGs or PDFs, the overall file size grows exponentially)

Answer: Yes, a PDF is an acceptable file format for submission if it complies with all file size, margin, and text requirements.

Question 4. Section L.4.4.1 states to complete the solicitation sections indicated using the file (without modification to the file) provided with the RFP. Once the Offeror signs the SF33, is the Offeror only supposed to include the signature page of the SF33 within the Volume IV proposal submission or is the Offeror supposed to include the entire Adobe pdf file (77 pages) within the Volume IV proposal submission?

Answer: The Offeror is to submit the SF33 in its entirety, addressing all areas requiring fill-ins as applicable.

Question 5. Section L.4.4.1 states to complete the solicitation sections indicated below using the file provided with the RFP. It then lists Section G (Contract Administration Data) below. Section G describes Wide Area Workflow Payment Instructions and lists the contact information of the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer. Nothing in Section G requires a signature. Does the government expect the Offeror to copy and paste all of Section G back into the Volume IV proposal submission or does the government only need the Offeror to acknowledge the Section G instructions for payment and the Points of Contact?

Answer: No, the Government does not expect the Offeror to copy and paste all of Section G back into the Volume IV proposal submission.

The Government expects any applicable sections of the solicitation requiring signatures or fill-ins to be completed and submitted as part of the proposal submission.

Question 6. Section L.4.4.1 lists RFP documents in Section J and implies that these documents need to be signed or certified. Does the government expect the Offeror to include the entire Attachment 0001 inside the Volume IV proposal submission, or can the Offeror simply state an acknowledgement of the attachment in some way?

Answer: The Government expects any applicable attachments in Section J of the solicitation requiring signatures or fill-ins to be completed and submitted as part of the proposal submission.

Question 7. Section L.4.4.1 lists RFP documents in Section J and implies that these documents need to be signed or certified. It lists

"Approved copies of Attachment 0005." Attachment 0005 is the administrative space occupied by contractors and states that the information shall be reported within 10 days of award. Is the Offeror supposed to complete Attachment 0005 for the proposal submission

2 9

W15QKN-22-R-0002

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

and therefore "before" an award or within 10 days after some future award notification?

Answer: The administrative space occupied by Contractors information in Attachment 0005 would be completed after the award of future

Task Orders as applicable.

Question 8. Does the government expect the Offeror to include Attachment 0002 in Volume IV even though Attachment 0002 is a part of

Volume II? Or is the L.4.4.1 requirement simply to instruct the Offeror to acknowledge the Price Matrix (Attachment 0002) or maybe provide a statement that the pricing is accurate and valid (although those statements would also be provided in Volume II)?

Answer: Attachment 0002 Price Matrix only has to be completed and submitted in Volume II.

Question 9. Section L.4.4.1 states to complete the solicitation sections indicated below using the file provided with the RFP. It then lists documents like the Non-Disclosure Agreement and the Technical Data Questionnaire that have already been submitted to the government. The wording says "completed copies of Attachment 0006 Non-Disclosure Agreement" but the Non-Disclosure Agreement form is

Attachment 0012 in the RFP whereas Attachment 0006 is the Contract Quality Requirements document that mentions the post award conference occurring 30 days after contract award. The government requirement is confusing. Can the government clarify?

Answer: Solicitation section L.4.4.1 has been revised, listing out all attachments in section J and the correct attachment numbers. Any applicable attachments in Section J of the solicitation requiring signatures or fill-ins are to be completed and submitted as part of the proposal submission.

Question 10. Section L.4.4.1. The Offeror already submitted the Non-Disclosure Agreement document in order to receive the government full RFP solicitation package. Does the government expect this already-provided document to be provided again inside Volume IV? Same applies to the Technical Data Questionnaire (Attachment 0011) that has already been completed, signed, and submitted, but mentioned again in Section L.4.4.1 (although it is mentioned as Attachment 0007). Attachment 0007 however is the QASP.

Answer: The Offeror does not have to submit these attachments again as long as they were previously submitted as part of this solicitation requirement. References to attachments have been corrected in section L.4.4.1 of the solicitation.

Question 11. Section L.4.4.1 is extremely confusing as to what are the actual contents required by the government for Volume IV. Would the government please provide much more clarity and preciseness?

Answer: All sections of the SF33 requiring fill-ins or a signature shall be completed and submitted along with any applicable attachments in Section J of the solicitation.

If an Offeror fails to propose prices for all specified labor categories and ordering periods, the Government may reject the offer. The proposed fully loaded labor rates will be ceiling rates and incorporated into any contract that may be awarded as a result of this solicitation. Awardees will be able to propose lower FFP fully loaded labor rates on future task orders but cannot exceed the rates on contract.

L.4.2.6 Unbalanced Pricing - Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. If the Offerors proposed labor rates appear unbalanced when comparing them from ordering period to ordering period, the Offeror shall provide documentation, including data calculations and supporting rationale, explaining the apparent unbalanced pricing.

L.4.2.7 Adequate Accounting System: Since this acquisition includes CR Travel, pursuant to FAR 16.301-3(a)(3), the offerors accounting system must be deemed adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract. Therefore, the offeror shall provide documentation supporting the determination that its current accounting system has been deemed adequate. If the offerors accounting system has not been determined adequate, the offeror shall complete Attachment 0004 - Preaward Survey of Prospective Contractor Accounting System and include this checklist with its proposal.
