Demil Solicitation Number W15QKN-22-R-0016 Questions / Answers to Industry
Q1. Is a DCAA-audited and approved accounting system required to provide cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) pricing for this solicitation?
An approved accounting system for cost type CLINs will be required. However, if the offeror does not currently have one, an Offeror can still submit pricing, along with the completed checklist in Section J, Attachment 0008 of the solicitation, entitled “PRE-AWARD SURVEY OF PROSPECTIVE CONTRACTOR ACCOUNTING SYSTEM CHECKLIST”. The completed checklist will be submitted to DCAA after award if the successful Offeror does not have a current approval of their system. DCAA will conduct a review of the design of the Offeror’s accounting system. NOTE: Only the design of the accounting system will be reviewed. It does not need to be fully implemented, pending successful award of the contract. The design of the system must only show how the system will work and how it will be adequate for accumulating the actual costs associated with the Cost type CLINs.
Q2. Instead of providing both FFP and CPFF, we request that the Government allow the option of providing either firm fixed price (FFP) or CPFF pricing at the bidder’s discretion.
Answer: The Government’s intention is to issue *each task* as either CPFF or FFP. There are a variety of possible tasks, and the decision of CPFF or FFP will depend on the nature of each individual task. This is the method that was decided upon by all Government parties during the acquisition planning phase and is currently not subject to change.
Q3. If a pricing option in addition to FFP is required, will the Government accept time-and-materials (T&M) pricing in lieu of CPFF pricing?
Answer: The solicitation as it stands only allows for CPFF. All CLINs listed as CPFF should be proposed as such unless an amendment is issued to the solicitation.
Q4. The use of a Cost Plus Fixed Fee type contract does not fit our business model. Would a proposal submission which indicated we would only accept task orders utilizing a Firm Fixed Price type contract be rejected?
Answer: The Government’s intention is to issue *each task* as either CPFF or FFP. There are a variety of possible tasks, and the decision of CPFF or FFP will depend on the nature of each individual task. This is the method that was decided upon by all Government parties during the acquisition planning phase and is currently not subject to change. Therefore, unless a solicitation amendment is issued in the future, only proposals submissions utilizing both contract types will be accepted.
