Page #, Paragraph # Question Answer

PWS: "The following production metrics are applicable to the unpacking, segregating, inspecting, cleaning and repacking of ammunition items for receipt, reset/ retrograde or issue. The metrics are expressed in terms of the number of rounds processed during a one- hour period. The matrix represents the expected/minimum acceptable production output; however, production quantities may be decreased based on the availability and/or physical condition of the ammunition received. This determination will be at the discretion of authorized

COR, with concurrence from 1st TSC."

Page 3, Paragraph

1.2.5.1

Will the government please provide the average number of ammunition/explosive items being perfumed per week per munition type? We are requesting work data to complement the production metrics.

The contractor is responsible to meet all minimum requirements in the production metrics. Due to only 1 DODIC being able to be refurbished in each TARF at a specific time, the production is not 100% for each class of munition during a given week or month. Attached are the maximum and average numbers per month based on June through October 2015 required by TSC to be processed through the TARFs. 463L pallets and

20 foot containers are built for outbound shipment and vary weekly based on requirements. Break Bulk is number of vehicles loaded and downloaded and vary weekly based on requirements.

Reference: Production Workload data.

Questions:

a. Will the Government provide all workload necessary for bidders to prepare proposed labor staffing and supporting equipment/ vehicle cost estimates?

b. When will the Government provide this workload data (for planning purposes we request the data be provided as soon as possible, even in advance of a draft of final RFP and or PWS is released, and with the understanding that revisions to such workload may be issued at a later date)?

c. Will the Government provide additional information with regard to workload activity over time (for example if the Government provides workload for container shipment to the port of

40 each 20' containers, will it further identify the operational tempo on a daily, weekly basis such as 10 containers shipped per week or 20 containers shipped bi-weekly, etc.)?

See Question 1 above

85 PWS

Page8, Para 2.3.1

Reference:

The PWS does not require the contractor’s Program Manager to have experience or skills in program management. Examples include: prior or current assignment as a PM; training in quality management; experience in the human resources aspects of supervising a multinational workforce; and a practical understanding of managing a US defense logistics contract. Additionally, the text stating that “Within the last ten (10) years, six (6) of those years he/she must have supervised a minimum of twenty-five (25) personnel in logistics operations.” is more restrictive than necessary to enable offerors to provide a PM with well-rounded skills, knowledge and experience to manage the myriad aspects of the ASP/TSA. For example, it is unclear whether the minimum number of people supervised is a total number over the period or a minimum number required for each position during the period. Further, the requirement does not describe the level or type of supervision (e.g. direct report versus oversight).

Questions:

1) Will the Government add requirements for the program manager to possess program management skills and experience that are relevant to management of the ASP/TSA operation?

2) Will the Government remove the text "within the last ## years" and re-phrase the supervision and experience requirement to read: “Possesses overall project the management experience that is highly relevant to ensuring successful ASP/TSA operations. Minimum twelve (12) years’ experience in ammunition operations. Within the last ten (10) years, he/she must have experience in managing a logistics project or program with similar scope, size and magnitude?” This change will enable the Government the flexibility to evaluate candidate resumes on a best value continuum (e.g. exceptionally qualified; very qualified; fully qualified;

unqualified) basis while still ensuring the PM has the necessary ammunition operations technical expertise.

Minimum Requirements:

•Bachelor’s degree in business, technology, or other relevant field

•Minimum 3 years of progressive, relevant experience;

Minimum Requirements: within the last (8) years, six (6) of those years he/she must have supervised a minimum of twenty-five (25) personnel in logisitics operation. Minimum requirement; Cefrtifiaction in Project

Manangement.

Paras 2.3.1 thru 2.3.16

Reference the PWS for Contractor Key Employee Qualifications and the forthcoming RFP;

and given that the Prime contractor awardee will very likely make job offers to the majority of incumbent key personnel who are fully qualified.

Question. Will the Government require offerors to present resumes for each of the positions listed in the PWS (some of which will require multiple supervisors/leads/operators based on the workload and together may result in over 40+ resumes to be submitted)?

The Key postions, listed in 2.3.1 thru 2.3.13 of the PWS resumes need to be submitted to ensure personnel are qualified.

89 Forthcoming RFP TBD

Reference potential Small Business (SB) utilization.

Questions:

1. Will the Government require offerors to propose Small Business utilization in their proposals, such as SB staffing FTEs with associated cost/price?

2. If so, will the Government specify the socio-economical categories required, if any?

3. If so, will the Government require SB content as a percentage of sub-contracted dollars or

Total Contract Value?

This information will be addressed within the DRAFT RFP, which will be published on FBO.gov at a future date.
