W58RGZ-17-R-0001 GOVERNMENT RESPONSES TO INDUSTRY Attachment 0018 DRAFT RFP QUESTIONS 31 January 2017

AND COMMENTS

1. QUESTION 1 Volume # 1: SOW, Page 26 Para 3.11

a. Are the 8a's prime contractor's or 8a JV's quality management procedures and instructions required to comply with the Prototype Integration Facility (PIF) Quality Management System (QMS)?

Government Response: Yes, an 8(a) prime contractor (to include each Joint Venture (JV) entity, if applicable) is required to comply with the PIF’s QMS.

Subcontractors to the prime contractor are required to comply with subcontractor plans of the prime contractor.

b. If an offeror's contractor QMS does NOT have a specific procedure or instruction, will the Government allow the offeror to follow the applicable PIF Operating Procedure

(POP)?

Government Response: The Contractor shall comply with the PIF QMS. If a specific procedure or instruction is not included in the prime contractor’s QMS, then the specific procedure or instruction shall be included into the contractor’s QMS for compliance.

2. QUESTION 2 Volume # 1: SOW, Page 16, Para 3.3.6

Is the Contractor required purchase Windchill software to comply with this SOW paragraph? Will the Government consider amending the SOW to state that Windchill licenses/seats will be provided as Government Furnished Equipment / Government Furnished Information (GFE/GFI) in order to meet the Government’s data submission and interface requirements of this paragraph?

Government Response: No, the Contractor is not required to purchase Windchill to comply with SOW paragraph 3.3.6. The contractor shall submit CDRL data into the AMRDEC electronic Product Data Management (ePDM; i.e., Windchill) site and shall interface with the AMRDEC ePDM site to resolve comments related to CDRL data.

No, the Government will not revise the SOW.

3. QUESTION 3 Volumes 1 and 2: SOW paragraph 3.3.7

a. How many Government personnel do you anticipate in each facility?

Government Response: Per SOW paragraph 3.3.7, the Contractor shall provide office space and general office equipment, excluding computers, for up to three Government personnel at each contractor facility, not to exceed 15 personnel total for all contractor facilities combined.

b. For estimating purposes, does the Government require 1 cubicle or office at each contractor location or more? Please clarify.

Government Response: Per the SOW, the Contractor shall provide office space for up to three Government personnel at each contractor facility. The configuration is at the contractor’s discretion.

4. QUESTION 4 Volume # 1: SOW, Page 26 Para 3.11

Do all prime contract, subcontractor or JV contractor personnel need to be trained in PIF POPs and GWI or just those working in a PIF Government facility? Please clarify.

Government Response: The prime Contractor (to include each Joint Venture (JV) entity, if applicable) shall comply with the PIF QMS, including training of personnel, prior to performance of any order. This applies to all on-site and off-site personnel for the prime Contractor.

5. QUESTION 5 Volume #1: RFP L-20 D paragraph 1a, page 94 of RFP

The RFP states that offerors must meet “Entry Gate Criteria” in order to be considered.

a. Does the Government anticipate conducting a physical pre-proposal evaluation / pre-award site visit to Contractor facilities proposed?

Government Response: Evaluation of the “entry-gate criteria” does not include the Government conducting a physical pre-proposal evaluation or site visit.

However, in regards to the “best value” evaluation, the Government reserves the right to schedule and conduct a site survey of the offeror's facilities and equipment to ensure the offeror can successfully support the Government requirements, including safety and security provisions IAW M-3.D.1.b.(2).

b. As written, 500k square feet of office space or 500k sq ft warehouse in any location within the Huntsville-Decatur-Albertville Combined Statistical Area is currently sufficient to meet the requirements of this entrance gate criteria and proposal. Does the Government anticipate the final RFP requiring specific off-post facilities for manufacturing, kitting, warehousing, integration and “PIF type” facilities to meet this 500k facility requirement or will remain as written?

Government Response: The RFP requirement is for 500,000 square feet of off-post facilities space, including 25,000 square feet of off-post aircraft hangar space. The Government reserves the right to schedule and conduct a site survey of the offeror's facilities and equipment to ensure the offeror can successfully support the Government requirements, including safety and security provisions.

The PIF video at https://vimeo.com/194973217 provides information on the types of Government facilities currently in use to support the mission.

https://vimeo.com/194973217

c. Does the 25k square foot of off-post hangar space have any other requirements like Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), installed/approved fire suppression system or other DCMA hangar requirements or just “ 25K facility that you can get an aircraft into?

Government Response: DFARS 252.228-7001(b) states “the Contractor shall be bound by the operating procedures contained in the combined regulation/instruction entitled ‘Contractor’s Flight and Ground Operations’ (Air Force Instruction 10-220, Army Regulation 95-20, NAVAIR Instruction 3710.1 (Series), Coast Guard Instruction M13020.3, and Defense Contract Management Agency Instruction 8210.1) in effect on the date of contract award.”

d. Does the Government anticipate the requirement for hangar to support fixed wing aircraft? If so, what are requirements?

Government Response: Per SOW paragraph 1.0, the Government anticipates requirements for airborne vehicles (to include fixed-wing aircraft).

DFARS 252.228-7001(b) states “the Contractor shall be bound by the operating procedures contained in the combined regulation/instruction entitled ‘Contractor’s Flight and Ground Operations’ (Air Force Instruction 10-220, Army Regulation 95-20, NAVAIR Instruction 3710.1 (Series), Coast Guard Instruction M13020.3, and Defense Contract Management Agency Instruction 8210.1) in effect on the date of contract award.”

e. Can the Government define the Huntsville-Decatur-Albertville Statistical Area to meet the hangar space requirement?

Government Response: The SOW and sections L and M of the RFP were revised to clarify the definition of the Huntsville-Decatur-Albertville Statistical Area.

6. QUESTION 6 Volume #3; RFP H-9 and H-10 page 29

These paragraphs appear to favor an incumbent offeror who has historical knowledge of the PIF operations. The draft RFP provides no guidance with regard to total dollars of business volume per contract year; no estimated labor hours per labor category per contract year; and no estimate of travel, material and/or subcontract dollars per contract year, for an 8(a) offeror / team to estimate indirect rates for 5 years with 2 each 2 year options totaling 9 year period of performance. It is difficult if not impossible for an SBA 8a Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) offeror to accurately forecast project indirect rates (G&A, Fringe, and most notable, contract specific Overhead) for a 9 year period all while being held to Not To Exceed (NTE) Capped Rates, which in essence makes all Cost Plus Tasks actually Firm Fixed Price.

Will the Government remove paragraphs H-9 and H-10 indirect rate caps from this

RFP?

If the Government will not remove the indirect rate caps that places great risk on an SBA 8a offeror, will the Government provide the proper total estimated of business per year, the estimated labor hours by labor category, the estimated Other direct costs (ODCs) per year in order for an 8a to build the appropriate indirect business plan by year and in order for the Government to properly evaluate proposals for cost/price realism?

This will allow an 8a to increase and decrease indirect rates post award commensurate with the Governments “estimated proposal volume “versus “actual volume” per year and Government shares in the risk with the 8a offeror.

Government Response: The proposed PIF-3 effort is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Per FAR 16.501-2, an IDIQ contract may be used to acquire supplies and/or services when the exact times and/or exact quantities of future deliveries are not known at the time of contract award. Since this effort is proposed as an IDIQ contract, the Government cannot predetermine above the specified minimum the business volume per year, estimated per labor category per year, and travel, material and/or subcontract dollars per year.

However, Section B-1 of the RFP provides (for informational purposes only) the historical obligation amounts per fiscal year for the current contract.

The Government has considered the difficulty for an 8(a) offeror to forecast indirect rates over a nine-year period. Therefore, the section H provision entitled, “Re-Opener Clause” was incorporated to provide opportunities for the offeror to adjust their indirect rates. Section M, paragraph D.2. of the RFP, details how the Government intends to perform a cost/price analysis to include cost realism. The Government will not remove the section H provisions entitled “Rate Cap on Indirect Rates” and “Re-Opener Clause”.

7. QUESTION 7 Volume #3; RFP H-10

An 8a offeror is an SDB and typically does not establish FPRA’s with the Government due to their size and volume of business base can fluctuate. FPRA’s are covered under FAR 15.407-3 and per regulation guidance, FPRA’s are normally are only negotiated only with contractors having a significant volume of “Government contract proposals”.

The cognizant contract administration agency is usually the final authority as to when an FPRA will be established.

Does the Government anticipate having an 8a offeror establish an FPRA annually to price PIF 3 task orders using most current indirect rates?

Government Response: IAW section H provision entitled, “Re-Opener Clause”, the contractor shall initiate and request the negotiation of a FPRA with the cognizant Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) at the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) prior to the end of the base period.

Per section H provision entitled, “Re-Opener Clause”, the indirect rates may be updated based on a Forward Pricing Rate Recommendation (FPRR), FPRA or DCAA audited rates one time per each award term option.

Paragraph 10 states Forward Price Rate Recommendations (FPRR), FPRAs and DCAA audited rates will result in rate adjustments. We considered DCAA’s approval of Provisional Billing Rates annually as meeting this instant solicitation requirement for rate adjustment and contract modification incorporating new rates annually. Does the Government concur?

Government Response: The Government does not concur. Provisional Billing Rates are used for interim reimbursement purposes until settlement is reached on final rates after the end of the contractor’s fiscal year. Provisional billing rates are for billing purposes only and should not be used for other applications such as cost proposals or forward pricing rates.

If so, it is requested that paragraphs H-9 and H-10 either be deleted or terminology adjusted to allow an 8a proper risk reduction to incorporate DCAA provisional billing rates annually as this is a potential 9year contract.

Government Response: Section H provisions entitled, “Rate Cap on Indirect Rates” and “Re-Opener Clause” will not be revised to utilize provisional billing rates as means of adjustment to the contract established bid rates.

8. SOW - Page 17 - Para 1: The Counterfeit Risk Management Plan shall meet the requirements of Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) AS5553 for electronic items and SAE AS6174 for non-electronic items, and shall apply to all subcontractors.

Does the Client intend to add DFAR 252.246.7007 "Contractor Counterfeit Electronic

Part Detection and Avoidance System”?

Government Response: No, IAW DFARS 246.870-3(2) Do not use the clause

(252.246-7007) in solicitations and contracts that are set aside for small business.

As stated on page 2 of the RFP, the proposed contract will be awarded pursuant to FAR 19.805 on the basis of competition limited to eligible 8(a) firms.

9. Sec L-20 - Page 95 - b. Subfactor 2: It is estimated that the overlaps of performance may continue from 18 to 30 months after date of contract award.

Based on Section L-20's statement of potential new awardee and incumbent having performance overlaps, does the client's requirement of AS 9100 certification within 90 days, allow for scope expansion post full transition? Rational, the certification body

(Registrar) typically likes to see at least 90 days of execution evidence.

Government Response:

The Government has considered the requirement of compliance with AS 9100 at contract award or certification within 90 days after contract award in conjunction with scope expansion post full transition. The Government has made no change to the RFP.

10. Sec M - Page 96 - c, (3): The 8(a) prime offeror is required to be AS 9100 compliant at the time of award. If compliant, but not AS 9100 certified at the time of award, the offeror must provide a plan to be AS 9100 certified within 90 days after contract award.

Will the Client allow for additional time if the Registrar (certification body) does not have an available third party auditor available within 90 days of contract award?"

Government Response: Per Section M-3, paragraph D. 1.c.(3)(c), the requirement is 90 days.

11. H-7, Page 27: The contractor shall establish, maintain, and use in the performance of this contract a management control system (MCS)…

Does a system meeting this requirement currently exist on the program? If so, is it a

COTS based system?"

Government Response: A system meeting this requirement currently exists on the program. The method of purchasing/implementing the system is at the contractor’s discretion.

12. I-183: Approved purchasing system means a Contractor's purchasing system that has been reviewed and approved in accordance with Part 44 of the Federal Acquisition

Regulation (FAR)

What are we allowed to subcontract since we don't have an approved purchasing system? What are our subs allowed to accept depending on their accounting system?"

Government Response: FAR 52.244-2(c) states if the contractor does not have an approved purchasing system, consent to subcontract (Contracting Officer’s written consent for the Contractor to enter into a particular subcontract) is required for any subcontract that (1) is of the cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, or labor-hour type; or (2) is fixed-price and exceeds (i) for a contract awarded by the Department of Defense, the greater of the simplified acquisition threshold or 5% of the total estimated cost of the contract.

It is incumbent upon the Contractor to execute subcontracts in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

13. E.1, Page 16: For Aviation Flight and Ground Operations, the Contractor shall maintain registration to AS9100 "Quality Management Systems- Defense

Organizations". For all other operations, the Contractor shall maintain registration to

ANSI/ISO/ASQ9001.

L.2.c.3, Page 176: If not AS 9100 certified, provide a complete description of the offeror's established corporate Quality Management/Quality Control (QM/QC) Program and its business practices, which demonstrate the 8(a) prime offeror's means of adherence to the QM/QC Program in AS 9100.

PWS 3.11.4, Page 27: The Contractor shall provide a documented QMS IAW SAE AS

9100 or equivalent system as agreed between the Government and Contractor to cover all aviation modification, repair, and overhaul activities. The Contractor shall maintain an accredited third party registration for this SAE AS 9100 or equivalent system.

The requirement in E.1 is written with AS9100 as a requirement for the contractor.

Section L references adherence to the AS9100 standard. Will the government accept both adherence to the standard by the contractor and AS9100 registration by team members?

Government Response: The 8(a) prime offeror (to include each Joint Venture entity, as applicable) is required to be AS 9100 compliant at the time of award and certified 90 days after contract award.

14. Section D.1.b, Page 94: Evidence of current employment with the offeror or a signed letter of commitment shall be provided."

Please confirm that the letters of commitment are excluded from the page count.

Government Response: Section L provision entitled “Instruction, Conditions and

Notice to Bidders”, Paragraph D.1.b and Attachment 0014 are clarified to clearly state the letters of commitment are excluded from the page count.

Revised language for RFP states “Evidence of current employment with the offeror or a signed letter of commitment (excluded from the page count) shall be provided.”

Revised language for Attachment 0014 states “Key Personnel (Maximum = 1 page excluding letters of commitment and resumes or biographies. Resumes or biographies are limited to a maximum of two pages per key person)”

15. Section I-159 page 107: 252.244-7001 Contractor Purchasing System

Administration

Is the government requiring the 8(a) offerers to have a DCMA approved purchasing system?

Government Response: DFARS 252.244-7001(b) states “The Contractor shall establish and maintain an acceptable purchasing system.” An “acceptable purchasing system”, as defined by the clause, means a purchasing system that complies with the system criteria in paragraph (c) of the clause.

There is not a requirement for an “approved purchasing system” as defined by FAR 44.101, which is a contractor’s purchasing system that has been reviewed and approved in accordance with FAR Part 44. However, as required by FAR 44.201-1(b) and 52.244-2(c), “If the contractor does not have an approved purchasing system, consent to subcontract is required for cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, labor-hour, or letter contracts, and also for unpriced actions (including unpriced modifications and unpriced delivery orders) under fixed-price contracts that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, for—

(1) Cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, or labor-hour subcontracts; and

(2) Fixed-price subcontracts that exceed—

(i) For the Department of Defense, the Coast Guard, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the greater of the simplified acquisition threshold or 5 percent of the total estimated cost of the contract

16. L, Pg 94 D. 1.a.: 500,000 square feet of off-post facilities

Can the government provide additional information of how this space is utilized today by type: Office, Warehouse and manufacturing? With the additional GOCO facilities developed in recent years is the utilization of each of these classes of space high, medium or low?

Government Response: The Contractor shall provide facilities to support the specific PIF capabilities and requirements as delineated in the SOW. The amendment to the Special Notice was issued in Fedbizopps on 15 Dec 2016 to provide information concerning the PIF facilities and equipment through the provided video link.

17. L, Pg 96 D.2.c.(3): If not AS 9100 Certified

Please confirm at time of award an 8a Prime does not have to have AS9100

Certification as long it is compliant at time of award and if it has a peer company that is part of the bid it will be equivalent to a company with AS9100, the government has applied a waived NAICS code not an Aviation NAICS code.

Government Response: In accordance with sections L and M, the 8(a) prime offeror (to include each Joint Venture (JV) entity, as applicable) is required to be AS 9100 compliant at the time of award. If compliant, but not AS 9100 certified at the time of award, the offeror must provide a plan to be AS 9100 certified within 90 days after contract award; additionally a complete description of the established corporate Quality Management/Quality Control (QM/QC) Program and business practices, which demonstrate adherence to the QM/QC Program in AS 9100 shall be provided.

18. L, Pg 98 4: Past Performance - "perform 20% or more of prime contract"

This is an IDIQ contract and workshare percentages cannot be fully defined at this time.

We recommend that the Prime be allowed to identify up to 4 Key subcontractors and/or any subcontractor key to performing each of the Sample Task Orders be considered as

Key and provide a relevant Past Performance.

Government Response: Section L provision entitled, “Instructions, Conditions, and Notice to Bidders”, paragraph D.4 defines a key subcontractor as any subcontractor that will perform 20 percent or more of the prime contract.

Regardless of the share of work proposed on sample orders, the Government will not consider any past performance of proposed key subs who are not anticipated to perform at least 20 percent of the prime contract. The Past Performance evaluation criteria and instructions will not be revised.

19. A, Pg 1: DOA1

Page 1 states that the IDIQ has a priority of DOA1. On past PIF contracts, Delivery

Orders performed for certain customers had a DX Priority Rating. This fact drives two questions:

1) If the Priority Rating is DOA1 for the IDIQ, will the PIF recognize that the DX DO has the priority over other critical requirements?

2) Will the established fee cited in the current solicitation be negotiable for customers/delivery orders requiring a DX rating?

Government Response:

1) In the event an individual order is issued with a DX rating, the procedures in

FAR 11.603(a) will govern priorities and allocations precedence.

2) The fee will be negotiated IAW section H provision entitled “Ordering

Procedures” for all orders issued under the IDIQ Contract.

20. B: No CDRLS referenced in Section B

The Base IDIQ, Section B, states that it is NSP and Attachment A has approximately 10

CDRLs that pertain to the Base Contract. Will the CDRLs (DD1423) that pertained to the Base Contract be marked NSP in Block 18 of the DD 1423?

Government Response: Yes.

21. Appendix A: DD1423 CDRLS Block 17

Every CDRL in Attachment A, Block 16 provides no guidance as to how or whether the

CDRL needs to be priced. Will the USG clarify during each ORP?

Government Response: Yes. Block 16 in 158 of the 170 total IDIQ CDRLS state

“Blocks 7-14 will be defined in individual task orders”. The Executive Summary within the RFP has been revised to identify nine CDRLs that will be delivered on the initial order 0001. The remaining three CDRLs have been marked NSP as they will apply to the base contract.

22. ATTACHMENT 0015: Labor Category

Is the USG missing the following Labor Categories: Aircraft Mech II, Electronics Tech II?

All other labor categories provided on ATTACHMENT 4 that have number classifications provide a qualification in years.

Government Response: Aircraft Mechanic II and Electronics Technician II are intentionally excluded from Attachment 0015.

23. ATTACHMENT 4: Key Personnel

The current solicitation states that there are three key personnel, the Program Manager, Quality Manager, and Configuration Manager. It requires they must each have a minimum 8-years of experience in aerospace design and/or aerospace manufacturing industry in their respective career areas (i.e., program management, quality, and configuration management) with four of those years in leadership positions but other than having 8 years aerospace experience. Will the USG provide a Labor Description in

Attachment 4 that identifies the specific areas of responsibility the USG is expecting them to perform to?

Government Response: The Government has revised Attachment 0004 “Labor

Categories” to include position descriptions for the Quality Manager and

Configuration Manager. Attachment 0015 “Rate Tables” and Attachment 0016

“Labor Category Crosswalk” has been revised to include these two labor categories.

24. Section M: Key Personnel

How will the USG perform an evaluation of the Quality Manager and Configuration

Manager positions without having a specific Labor Description? Is just the fact that they held leadership positions and billet be enough to keep a company from being disqualified?

Government Response: The labor categories and descriptions for the Quality Manager and Configuration were added to the Section J attachment entitled “Labor Categories”.

Based on the revised entry-gate criteria in M-3.C.1.b, the key personnel (Program Manager, Quality Manager and Configuration Manager) must meet the minimum education and experience requirements as delineated in the Section J attachment entitled “Labor Categories”.

25. Section H: Management and Controls

The USG states that in Paragraph H-7, 1) The contractor shall establish, maintain, and use in the performance of this contract a management control system (MCS) capable of accepting multiple packages of funds, planning, scheduling, and collecting costs for multiple packages of unique work; providing status; and vouchering the Government in accordance with specified requirements.

Can the USG provide more specificity in the term multiple?

Government Response: Per SOW 3.3.11, “Historical figures indicate that there are approximately 200 active task orders and up to five continuous improvement initiatives at any given time.”

26. Section H, Paragraph B: Task Order Process

Paragraph (b) states that a description of the added value provided by the Prime as related to the work performed must be explained. Will the USG provide clarity as to what is meant by value added? As the Prime Contractor, developing, assembling, and placing teams in an expeditious manner is value added in its ownself. If the Prime

Contractor is required to always perform functionally in an area that isn't in its Core

Competencies the PIF's customers will suffer and in turn look else where to have their efforts performed.

Government Response: As defined in FAR 52.215-23(a) “Added Value” means that the Contractor performs subcontract management functions that the

Contracting Officer determines are a benefit to the Government (e.g., processing orders of parts or services, maintaining inventory, reducing delivery lead times, managing multiple sources for contract requirements, coordinating deliveries, performing quality assurance functions).

27. Section L.D.1.a, page 94, Section M.C.1.a references: In regard to facilities the draft

RFP states, “…own or have documented, verifiable access to …” and “Assertion of the offerors ability to obtain the necessary facilities and equipment…is not sufficient.”

Can the government provide a definitive definition of what constitutes an acceptable formal agreement other than existing ownership or a signed lease? As there is an abundance of readily available space in Huntsville, why is an assertion supported past performance and financial strength not considered adequate with the expectation of an

18+ month transition? Unleveraged facilities costs are incorporated in wrap rates and increase costs to the government.

Government Response: An assertion of the offeror’s ability to obtain the necessary facilities and equipment to accomplish the intended requirements of the contract is not sufficient as an “assertion” does not provide any viable burden of proof to meet the requirement of the RFP. As stated in Section L provision entitled “Instructions, Conditions, and Notice to Bidders”, paragraph D.1.a., Evidence of the possession of facilities, or formal agreements to obtain a minimum of 500,000 square feet of off-post facilities space, including 25,000 square feet of off-post aircraft hangar space, in the Huntsville- Decatur-Albertville Combined Statistical Area as defined in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Bulletin No. 13-01, dated 28 February 2013. This is a deviation from the current OMB statistical area definition of the Huntsville-Decatur-Albertville Combined Statistical Area. Evidence is supported by either a deed, lease, or other formal agreement (e.g., a letter of intent or a right of first refusal) to prove the offeror owns or has documented, verifiable access to the required facilities.

It is estimated that the overlap of performance may continue from 18-30 months after date of this contract award; this transition period is the time frame required for completion of efforts under the incumbent contract W58RGZ-12-D-0089.

However, the PIF-3 prime contractor must be able to support the PIF's mission at contract award.

28. Attachment 0016: Internal Labor Categories

If an offeror uses a salary survey to map to RFP labor categories then can the offeror use the labor category titles from the salary survey as "internal labor categories" titles?

Government Response: Internal labor categories are assigned at the offeror’s discretion; however, all documentation coming to the Government will need to be compliant with the labor categories listed in the RFP and contract.

29. Section H, page 27, paragraph 3; Key Personnel

The draft RFP indicated that the Program Manager, Quality Manager, and Configuration

Manager are key personnel. In Attachment 0004 there is no descriptions for the Quality

Manager or Configuration Manager and in Attachment 0015 these 2 labor categories are not listed. Request that the Government provide labor category descriptions for these 2 labor categories in Attachment 0004 and add these 2 labor categories to

Attachment 0015.

Government Response: The Government has revised Attachment 0004 “Labor

Categories” to include position descriptions for the Quality Manager and

Configuration Manager. The Government has revised Attachment 0015 “Rate

Tables” and Attachment 0016 “Labor Category Crosswalk” to include labor categories Quality Manager and Configuration Manager.

30. Section J, page 83: List of Attachments, Exhibit A CDRL

Can the government please provide the list of CDRLs possible on this contract understanding that specific CDRLs will be defined at the TO/DO level.

Government Response: Exhibit A – Contract Data Requirements List can be found in the Fedbizopps announcement posted 2 Dec 2016.

31. Section L.D..2.b.2, page 95: This section requires a description of the contractor's training programs, including facilities and equipment.

To ensure each bidder is able to correctly scope the required training, can the government please provide a comprehensive list of current and anticipated Government facilities and equipment used on the PIF contract?

Government Response: The Contractor shall provide facilities and equipment to support the specific PIF capabilities and requirements as delineated in the SOW.

An amendment to the Special Notice was issued in Fedbizopps on 15 Dec 2016 to provide information concerning the PIF facilities and equipment through the provided video link.
