The purpose of Amendment 0001 to W15QKN-22-R-0057 is to answer questions received from industry, include additional language in Section
H, and update the proposal submission information.
Question 1: Regarding the Contract Opportunity Notice ID W15QKN22R0057 for the Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract, (XYZ Company) respectfully requests a 45 day extension for this solicitation response. This request is due to the time needed to obtain needed information from our supply base, many of who are currently at full capacity and/or on summer holiday.
Answer 1: 30 Day Extension has been granted. Proposals are now due at 3:00PM EST on 26 September 2022.
Question 2: Regarding Attachment 0014 page 2, first paragraph: should the Contracting Officer identified be Jennifer Rustwick instead of

Question 3: Are 11X17 fold-out pages allowed? If so, do they count as one page or two pages against the page limit?
Answer 3: Yes they are allowed. They count as two pages.
Question 4: Is there a limit to the number of Past Performance reference programs the Offeror can submit?
Answer 4: No. The efforts must be recent and relevant as defined in Sections L and M.
Question 5: RFP section L.3.8 on page 92 states: Submission of the identified contracts shall be in Excel format to include contractually scheduled delivery dates, actual delivery dates, quantities and how many days over / under (i.e., early / late deliveries). Does the Government need the Excel file submitted separately from the volume V proposal PDF file? Does the Excel file count against the volume V page count?
Answer 5: Yes, the Excel file should be submitted as part of Volume 5. It does count against the Volume 5 page count.
Question 6: For the technical volume, a TDP example is required for CLIN 0435 Inert 40mm HE Frag. This does not match the description and CLIN number in the pricing matrix. Is the TDP requirement for CLIN 0434 Inert HE Frag or CLIN 0435 Inert 40mm HE Bounding?
Answer 6: The TDP requirement is for Item Number 0434 Inert 40mm HE Frag. RFP sections L.3.6.1 and M.6.1. have been updated to reflect.

Answer 7: As mentioned in Answer 1, the proposal due date and time has been amended to 03:00 PM EST on 26 September 2022. This information is found within the first page of Amendment 0001 SF33.
Question 8: In A.6. Arms Ammunition & Explosives (AA&E), it states upon receipt of this information, a Pre-Award Safety and Security
Survey will be requested. What does a Pre-award safety and security Survey consist of? Rational: Ensure compliance?
Answer 8: As a reminder, any Offeror who utilizes contractors (whether foreign or domestic) and/or sub tier contractors, who will provide energetics or touch labor of energetics by base contract or delivery orders, shall submit to the Government a listing, so a Pre-
Award Safety and Security Survey can be performed. All DoD Contract Safety requirements should be followed.
Question 9: Does Executive Order 13662 dated 20 March 2014 apply to this solicitation? Rationale for this question is to ensure compliance with applicable EOs.

Question 10: Does the Policy Statement by the U.S. Department of State Regarding DoD Sourcing from Russian Federation-Affiliated
Entities apply to this solicitation?
Answer 10: Please see language added in Amendment 0001 Section H which addresses this question.
Question 11: Technical/nomenclature questions by CLIN:
4a. CLIN0017: What grain weight is being requested?
4b. CLIN0034: Same as CLIN0035?
4c. CLIN0035: Same as CLIN0034?
4d. CLIN0296: Same as MAT-120?
Answer 11:
4a. CLIN0017: What grain weight is being requested? No grain weight is specified
4b. CLIN0034: Same as CLIN0035? They are not the same item.
4c. CLIN0035: Same as CLIN0034? They are not the same item.
4d. CLIN0296: Same as MAT-120? Line Item 0296 and the MAT-120 are equivalent items.
Question 12: Request the CLINS in the attachment not be renumbered in the event CLINs are removed in future revisions. This will avoid confusion against lists that have already been provided to the manufacturers.
Answer 12: If the event occurs in which Line Items are removed, they will not be replaced and they will be intentionally left blank.
Question 13: Request that L.3.1 be updated to allow use of 11 x 17 foldouts. Also recommend having each foldout count as one page. Use of 11x17 foldouts is standard practice in solicitations to provide the Government concise, content-rich details. Foldouts are particularly useful for large tables, flow diagrams and other types of illustrations.
Answer 13: See Answer 3.
Question 14: Should the IMS required in Subfactor 1 (Program Management Plan) be based on a notional delivery order, or should it be a copy of the IMS provided in Subfactor 4 (Delivery Order 0001)?
If notional, should we assume information and timelines for certain tasks (item listing, source of supply, delivery location, EUC receipt, export license processing, material production, etc.)?
Answer 14: As stated on Pg. 87 of the RFP (W15QKN-22-R-0057), L.3.5.1. This subfactor evaluates the Offerors Program Management Plan using the examples in the Table below. All Key Points (including Key Point #2 IMS) should be developed using the Table below on page 88 of the RFP. Page 88 includes a table of items including Item Numbers, Quantities and Destinations and it correlates to the Item Numbers found within Attachment 0001 Price Matrix. The Item Numbers found within the Attachment 0001 Price Matrix include a schedule which should be used to develop the IMS and other Key Points for the Subfactor 1 Program Management Plan.
Question 15: Volume I implies submission of DDTC brokering license and ATF type 11 license. Is this requirement mandatory (prospective non-U.S. offeror does not possesses these licenses?
Answer 15: The Offeror is responsible to review each Letter of Contemplation or RFP requirement for the applicability for any mandatory requirements. The Arms Export Control Act requires that all manufacturers, exporters, temporary importers, and brokers of defense articles and brokers of defense articles (including technical data) as defined on the United States Munitions List (ITAR part 121) and furnishers of defense services are required to register with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) as described in ITAR part
122 (part 129 for brokers). It is primarily a means to provide the U.S. Government with necessary information on who is involved in certain ITAR controlled activities and does not confer any export or temporary import rights or privileges. Registration is generally a precondition for the issuance of any license or other approval and use of certain exemptions.
Offerors are free to provide letters from the respective agencies noting not required for non-US offeror.
Question 16: Is it acceptable not to offer all the items of the request from the Attachment 1 (price matrix)?
Answer 16: The USG will not provide direction to Offerors in regards to the submission of Attachment 0001 Price Matrix. Failure to comply with the RFP requirements for Price Information may result in an adverse assessment of an Offerors proposal and reduce or eliminate its change for being selected for award. Please remember that awardees will have the choice on whether or not to compete for the individual orders.
Question 17: Please advise if M249 Conversion Kit is required to support CLIN 0032 5.56mm Non-Toxic MMR Linked and the CLIN 0060 5.56mm
Non-Toxic LBBR Linked Products.
Answer 17: No M249 is not required to support Item Number 0032. No, it is not required to support Item Number 0060.

L.3.7 VOLUME IV Price. The volume shall be organized into the following sections: _________________
(1) Electronic Copy. Price requirements: Files contained on the Volume IV Price Volume may not be password protected. The Offeror shall ________________ provide a completed Section J, Attachment 0001 - Price Matrix. The Offerors Price Matrix and any documentation that is based on or includes mathematical calculations (e.g., calculations for rental value of Government property in the Offerors possession, calculations where there is the appearance of unbalanced pricing, etc.) shall be submitted in electronic, executable format utilizing Microsoft
Excel. Any additional information necessary to explain the proposed pricing that does not contain mathematical calculations may be submitted in PDF, Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel format. Electronic links are only permissible within the Price Volume. If files contain links, the links must be intact and maintained through all revisions. The Offeror shall not include pivot tables in Excel spreadsheets.
(2) Compliance. Failure to comply with the RFP requirements for Price information may result in an adverse assessment of an Offerors ___________ proposal and reduce or eliminate its chance of being selected for award. Offerors shall ensure that the information presented in this volume is consistent and correlates with the information contained in the other proposal volumes. Also, the Offeror shall ensure that the information submitted in this volume is consistent with and fully supports the amounts set forth in the Standard Form (SF) 33 and continuation sheets.
(3) General Instructions. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.402 and 15.403-1, certified cost or pricing data _____________________ are not required based on the fact that adequate competition is expected for this procurement. Information other than certified cost or pricing data may be provided in Contractor format providing that sufficient information is made available. Information submitted shall be prepared following the instruction in FAR 15.403-5. If after receipt of proposals the Contracting Officer determines that there is insufficient information available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions at FAR 15.403-1 apply, the Offeror may be required to submit cost or pricing data. Additionally, in the event that adequate competition is not obtained (i.e. single responsible Offeror), the Contracting Officer may incorporate FAR 52.215-20 entitled, Requirements for Cost or Pricing Data or
Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data, into the solicitation and request a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data. There are no page limitations for this volume. Proposal information included in this volume which is not directly related to Price will be disregarded.
(4) The Offerors shall submit pricing in a Price Matrix for all Item Numbers, including all quantity ranges, when applicable. The proposed price for production Item Numbers shall be inclusive of all fabricating, testing, inspection, and packaging, but will be exclusive of the delivery / transportation of the solicited item. Delivery costs will be separately proposed and included in the competitive offers on a delivery order basis. Offerors must complete the Section J, Attachment 0001 - Price Matrix. The Offeror will
12 28
Name of Offeror or Contractor:
PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD
enter FFP unit prices (excluding transportation) for the specified quantity range for all ordering periods for all Item Numbers reflected in the Price Matrix. The unit prices will establish Not to Exceed (NTE) unit prices for the SAWS items during the Delivery
Order phase. Awardees will be able to propose lower FFP unit prices on future delivery orders but cannot exceed the unit prices on contract. Unit prices shall be limited to two decimal places. The Government reserves the right to require the submission of any data other than certified cost or pricing data necessary to validate the reasonableness of an offer.
(5) In accordance with FAR 45.202(a), the Government shall consider any potentially unfair competitive advantage that may result from an
Offeror using Government property that is already in their possession. To eliminate the competitive advantage, a rental equivalent evaluation factor shall be added to each offer, which is predicated on the use of Government property. Offerors shall propose the per unit value of Government property for each Item Number / quantity range in accordance with FAR 52.245-9, Use and Charges in the Section
J, Attachment 0001 - Price Matrix, to the solicitation. Offerors shall provide detailed calculations demonstrating how the rental per unit value was derived and documentation supporting the rental charges in sufficient detail to permit verification of the rental charges and evaluation of the per unit rental value.
(6) Any HUBZone Small Business Concern shall provide proof of HUBZone certification with its proposal submission.
(7) 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. The greatest risks associated with unbalanced pricing occur when (a) Startup work, mobilization, first articles, or first article testing are separate line items; (b)
Base quantities and option quantities are separate line items; or (c) The evaluated price is the aggregate of estimated quantities to be ordered under separate line items of an indefinite-delivery contract. Offerors shall provide documentation, including data, calculations and supporting rationale, for any apparent unbalanced pricing, which will be used to determine if the proposed prices are balanced.
(8) Delivery Order 0001. The Offeror shall submit pricing in accordance with Section J, Attachment 0003 - Delivery Order Proposal Form -
Delivery Order 0001, based upon the following quantities and delivery destinations:
| Item Numbers | Item | Quantity | Destination |
| 0005 | 7.62x39mm Ball | 99,840 | Blue Grass Army Depot, KY |
| 0005 | 7.62x39mm Ball | 1,000 | Picatinny Arsenal, NJ |
| 0001 | 5.45x39mm Ball | 23,400 | Blue Grass Army Depot, KY |
| 0001 | 5.45x39mm Ball | 1,000 | Picatinny Arsenal, NJ |
Inspection/Acceptance terms are FOB Destination. Offerors shall also propose a total price for transportation costs for each solicited
Item Number, separate from the hardware, with the identified method(s) of delivery and provide back-up delivery estimates / quotes to substantiate the proposed transportation costs.
Note: Section J, Attachment 0003 - Delivery Order Proposal Form - Delivery Order 0001 will only be used for the purpose of Delivery
Order 0001 and therefore the proposed prices for Delivery Order 0001 have no bearing on the prices provided in the Section J, Attachment
0001 - Price Matrix. Stated differently, the Section J, Attachment 0001 - Price Matrix is separate and does not control what is proposed for Delivery Order 0001. It shall be noted that all future delivery orders will have a separate Delivery Order Proposal Form, in the same format as Section J, Attachment 0003 - Delivery Order Proposal Form - Delivery Order 0001.
(9) Future Delivery Ordering Procedures.
Delivery Orders will be issued in accordance with the procedures for Future Delivery Orders as stated in Section H of the solicitation.
a. Each awardee will be provided a fair opportunity to compete for individual orders in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(1), unless one of the statutory exceptions stated in FAR 16.505(b)(2) applies. Letters of Contemplation (LOCs) or RFPs detailing the specific requirement, proposal instructions and evaluation factors will be issued via e-mail to all IDIQ awardees.
b. Awardees will have the ability to propose unit prices that are lower than the negotiated NTE FFP prices on contract for any of the competed Delivery Orders. Delivery Orders shall also include a total price for transportation costs for each solicited Item Number, separate from the hardware, with the identified method(s) of delivery and back-up delivery quotes to substantiate the proposed transportation costs (if applicable). Delivery locations will be identified on an order-by-order basis.
c. The negotiated NTE FFP unit prices will be based upon the applicable unit prices for the ordering period during which the orders are issued irrespective of when performance takes place. For instance, if a FFP order is issued on the first day of Ordering Period 2, then the applicable unit prices for Ordering Period 2 will apply. If an order is placed on the last day of Ordering Period 2, then the applicable FFP unit prices for Ordering Period 2 will also apply.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:
PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD
d. Delivery Orders will be competitive and will be awarded using either a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) or Best Value
Tradeoff approach. The source selection approach will be included as part of the LOC for the applicable delivery order. Price shall be an evaluation factor for every order, along with, but not limited to, any combination of the following: Technical, Source of Supplier, Delivery Schedule, and / or Transportation Plan. Detailed evaluation criteria will be provided with the RFP / LOC for each order.
e. If an Offeror proposes the use of Government property already in its possession for any competitive delivery order, the total evaluated price will be adjusted to include a rental equivalent factor for each item of such property calculated in accordance with FAR
52.245-9. This adjustment will apply for the use of Government property by the Offeror as well as any subcontractor.
