The purpose of Amendment 0002 to Solicitation # W519TC-23-R-0022 is to:
1. Extend the due date of proposal submissions from 21 July 2023 to 04 August 2023. The deadline for questions has passed and is not extended.
2. Provide responses to industry questions (Attachment 0038 - Ft Campbell Q&A Responses dated 18 Jul 23)
3. Update Section L, paragraph L.5.1.8
FROM:
L.5.1.8 SECRET Facility Clearance: Offerors must possess a SECRET Facility Clearance by the RFP closing date, at the time of award, and throughout the life of the contract. All Subcontractors who will be performing contract requirements which necessitate facility clearance must also have a SECRET Facility Clearance by RFP closing date, at the time of award, and throughout the life of the contract.
In order for an Offeror/Subcontractor to request and sponsor an individual employee's SECRET Security Clearance to perform the functions identified in the PWS, the Offeror/ Subcontractor must possess a SECRET Facility Clearance by the RFP closing date. Possession of an
INTERIM SECRET Facility Clearance will be sufficient to meet the requirement at time of proposal submission provided that it can be validated by the Defense Security Service (DSS); however, please note that access to classified COMSEC information requires a FINAL US
Government Clearance at the appropriate level and therefore if contractor employee requires access to classified COMSEC the offeror will be required to possess a FINAL US Government Clearance at the appropriate level in order to perform after award, and throughout the life of the contract.
While it is acknowledged that the Offeror may form contractual relationships with additional legal entities (i.e. Prime/Subcontracts, Partnerships, etc.) in order to perform work under this contract, including the specific work which necessitates the SECRET Facility and
Security Clearances, the Offeror (i.e. the legal entity that is submitting the proposal and would be identified as the awardee of the contract) must possess a SECRET Facility Clearance itself and cannot rely solely on the clearance of a Subcontractor or other legal entity. Possession of a SECRET Facility Clearance will be determined by CAGE code. For a proposal submitted by a Joint Venture, a Secret
Facility Clearance must be held by either the joint venture itself or an individual partners name and CAGE code to meet the solicitation requirements.

A.20 The Army Sustainment Command (ASC) may employ the services of a support contractor to assist in the management and oversight of ASC contracts.

(1) A Government contract requires a contractor to exercise judgment to assist the Government in a matter (such as in drafting specifications or assessing another contractor's proposal or performance) and the contractor or its affiliates have financial or other interests at stake in the matter, so that a reasonable person might have concern that when performing work under the contract, the contractor may be improperly influenced by its own interests rather than the best interests of the Government; or
(2) A contractor could have an unfair competitive advantage in an acquisition as a result of having performed work on a Government contract, under circumstances such as those described in paragraph (1) of this definition that put the contractor in a position to influence the acquisition.
(3) If the Contractor identifies an OCI, the Contractor shall make a prompt and full disclosure in writing to the PCO. OCI that arise during performance of the contract, as well as newly discovered conflicts that existed before contract award, shall be disclosed.

stated assertions and must not merely repeat the RFP requirements, but rather must provide convincing documentary evidence of how contract requirements will be met. Data not submitted with the proposal, but submitted previously, or presumed to be known (i.e., previous projects performed for the United States Government (USG)) will not be considered. Clarity and completeness are essential. It is the Offerors obligation to submit an unambiguous proposal that clearly reflects the Offeror's intended technical approach and establishes cost credibility. If the use of new and innovative techniques is intended, the impact on cost must be explained. As another example, if a business policy decision to absorb a portion of the estimated cost was made, that approach must be stated within the proposal (including any associated calculations). NOTE: Offerors must propose to the requirements of this Step 3 Task Order RFP.
Possessing a BOA does not guarantee that an Offeror will be determined technically acceptable for the purposes of this solicitation.
Therefore, Offerors must meet the requirements described in this solicitation to be eligible for award.

L.5.1.6 Business Systems Information:
L.5.1.6.1 The Contracting Officer will review the Offeror's accounting system status for determining contractor responsibility IAW FAR
16.301-3; a cost-reimbursement type contract may be used only when the contractor's accounting system is adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract. An adequate system is a system that can separately accumulate costs under a Government contract and has the ability to generate the specific cost information required under the anticipated contract. An SF 1408 has been attached to this RFP
(Attachment 0006) which contains the specific procedures that are considered part of an adequate system. Therefore, for an Offeror to receive an award under this RFP, the successful Offeror will be required to demonstrate that the design of its accounting system can accomplish the specific SF 1408 procedures; as a result, the Offeror is required to provide in its proposal: - Official documentation, from either a successful Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audit of the Offeror's accounting system; or- A letter from the Defense
Contract Management Agency (DCMA) documenting its approval/adequacy of the Offeror's accounting system; or- Rationale for why documentation cannot be presented at proposal submission and a proposed date for which required documentation will be available. Absent an adequate accounting system, an apparent awardee cannot be determined responsible under FAR 9.104-5 and will be ineligible for award.
Per FAR 9.104-5(b), an apparent awardee who does not furnish the certification or such information as may be requested by the
Contracting Officer shall be given an opportunity to remedy the deficiency. Therefore, if an Offeror is unable to provide the certification with its proposal as required, it will be given another opportunity to present the required certification prior to award in the event it is determined to be the apparent awardee.

The Offeror shall provide official Government approval documentation for any systems that have Government approval. The approval status and approval documentation will not be evaluated and is for Government contract administration. If approval of any of these business systems is not available, provide a statement of such and a brief rationale as to why these systems have not been approved.

The proposal will not be evaluated and will not be further considered for award._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
L.5.1.7 (f) The compliance requirements of L.5.1.7(a) and (e) do not apply to an Offeror performing 100% of the requirement by itself with no subcontractors.
L.5.1.8 SECRET Facility Clearance: Offerors must possess a SECRET Facility Clearance by the RFP closing date, at the time of award, and throughout the life of the contract. All Subcontractors who will be performing contract requirements which necessitate facility clearance must also have a SECRET Facility Clearance by RFP closing date, at the time of award, and throughout the life of the contract.
In order for an Offeror/Subcontractor to request and sponsor an individual employee's SECRET Security Clearance to perform the functions identified in the PWS, the Offeror/ Subcontractor must possess a SECRET Facility Clearance by the RFP closing date. Possession of an
10 23
Name of Offeror or Contractor:
PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD
INTERIM SECRET Facility Clearance will be sufficient to meet the requirement at time of proposal submission provided that it can be validated by the Defense Security Service (DSS); however, please note that access to classified COMSEC information requires a FINAL US
Government Clearance at the appropriate level and therefore if contractor employee requires access to classified COMSEC the offeror will be required to possess a FINAL US Government Clearance at the appropriate level in order to perform after award, and throughout the life of the contract.
While it is acknowledged that the Offeror may form contractual relationships with additional legal entities (i.e. Prime/Subcontracts, Partnerships, etc.) in order to perform work under this contract, including the specific work which necessitates the SECRET Facility and
Security Clearances, the Offeror (i.e. the legal entity that is submitting the proposal and would be identified as the awardee of the contract) must possess a SECRET Facility Clearance itself and cannot rely solely on the clearance of a Subcontractor or other legal entity. Possession of a SECRET Facility Clearance will be determined by CAGE code. For a proposal submitted by a Joint Venture, a Secret
Facility Clearance must be held by either the joint venture itself or an individual partners name and CAGE code to meet the solicitation requirements.
L.5.1.8 (a) The Offeror shall complete Column I on Tab 2-Teaming Matrix of Attachment 0005-Cost Price Matrix for all listed entities
(i.e., Offeror and Subcontractors, Subsidiaries, or other affiliates) that require a SECRET Facility Clearance for their proposed performance of requirements IAW the PWS. The Contracting Officer will verify that all entities designated as YES possess a SECRET
Facility Clearance; the verification will be conducted through a CAGE code search performed on the Defense Security Services (DSS)
Industrial Security Facilities Database (ISFD).
L.5.1.9 NOT APPLICABLE.

L.5.2.1.1(b) The Offeror's Staffing and Management Plan must detail the Offerors approach to deliver services required in the RFP and
PWS. The Offerors SMP must detail the overarching methodology used to determine the proposed skill sets / skill level; the SMP must also contain any rational used to support staffing decisions with any explanations needed to clarify staffing decisions (e.g., cross utilization of specific labor categories, dual hatted positions, etc.). As the Government will utilize any applicable Collective
Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the Service Contract Act (SCA) Directory of Occupations (5th Edition) and TD-02 Workload Data and Density
List for technical evaluation purposes, the Offeror shall utilize those sources whenever possible to determine which labor categories/position titles to propose as part of its proposed staffing.
For all positions identified as "Non-Exempt" on the Offerors Attachment 0002 Staffing/Labor Mix, the Offeror shall provide a labor category/title under the column "Position Title" that is specifically found within the SCA Directory of Occupations (5th Edition)). If additional explanation is necessary beyond the definitions provided in the SCA Directory to describe the proposed skillset or capabilities of that labor category based on the Offerors unique business practices or staffing approach, then the SMP narrative must include an adequate duty description for that position which will enable the Government to evaluate the skill set / skill level that is being proposed (this requirement is in addition to any supplemental description the offeror can include under the "Duty Title" column on its Attachment 0002- Staffing and Labor Mix).
For positions identified as "Exempt" on Attachment 0002 Staffing and Labor Mix, if the Offeror is providing a labor category/title under the column Position Title that is not specifically found within the SMP narrative must include an adequate duty description for that position which will enable the Government to evaluate the skill set / skill level that is being proposed (this requirement is in addition to any supplemental description the offeror can include under the "Duty Title" column on its Attachment 0002 Staffing and Labor
Mix).
The SMP MUST BE SUPPORTED BY THE OFFEROR'S ATTACHMENT 0002 STAFFING/LABOR MIX and, at a minimum, must address the following elements:
L.5.2.1.1(b)(1) Staffing and organization of the required effort by providing its approach to creating its management structure from general staff oversight by first line supervisors through its company headquarters management. This approach must detail the management and supervision structure related to executing this effort.
L.5.2.1.1(b)(1)(i) The on-site FFP PMO positions are determined to be material to the effort and must remain staffed throughout the duration of the contract. The required labor categories are identified as firm fixed price. Offeror must propose PMO staffing, if required by the Offerors business processes to fully support the effort solicited within this RFP. Additional positions proposed within the firm fixed-price portion of the effort must be identified as firm fixed-price in Attachment 0002, Staffing and Labor Mix.
L.5.2.1.1(b)(1)(ii) The Offeror's SMP must include a description of its capability to successfully implement the provided Surge Option workload in accordance with PWS 1.4.3.1 and Attachment 0037, TD-12.
