W909MY17-R-0016 - Amendment 0003 – Questions and Answers

1. Any questions regarding the solicitation shall be provided to the Contracting Officer Ms. Patricia Davis at jean.p.davis2.civ@mail.mil with a carbon copy to Ms. Tamara Jenkins at tamara.n.jenkins.civ@mail.mil no later than 22 December 2017. All questions will be answered prior to the closing date of 1pm ET 31 January 2018.

Question: Please confirm the last date for submission of questions given the extension of due date and the fact answers will be provided up to the RFP closing time. In this context, the closing date of 22 December, 2017 appears to be an error.

Answer: In order for questions to be answered prior to proposal submission date and time, they must be received no later than 1pm 22 January 2018. The Government does not anticipate any further extension in proposal due date or time.

2. Reference Attachment 0008 – Pricing Model

Question: Please confirm if the formula in G3 is correct as it appears to ignore the values in G7 and G8.

Answer: The Government has updated Attachment 0008 - Price Model to correct the formula. See Amendment 0003.

3. Reference – Attachment 0008 Price Model, PWS Section 3.2.2, Industry Day One-On-One Sessions

Question – CLIN 0037 / 1037 request 3 lots of STTE for Year 1 then 1 lot of STTE per payload.

PWS, Section 3.2.2 Payload Associated Deliverable Material, and Attachment 0008 Cost Model This paragraph states that “The Contractor shall provide all spare parts, consumables, component parts, field support tooling, diagnostic tools/kits, support equipment, materials, and secondary items for the EO/IR Payload.”

Industry Day One-On-One session answer “Attachment 0008 will be revised to allow for Special Test and Tooling pricing. Any special test equipment necessary to install or operate the payload shall be priced as a single lot in the attachment. If boresight has been integrated into the payload, it should be included with the cost of the payload.”

As each offeror’s configuration is unique, request the quantity be set to one lot per year and the instruction provided during the One-On-One session (above) be added to the RFP instructions. The Army can execute the CLIN as required to acquire the quantity of STTE needed.

Answer: The Government has revised Attachment 0008 - Price Model to clarify that contractor’s should price one (1) Lot of Special Tooling & Test Equipment for the related CLIN in each year, Year 1 - Year 10. The Government has further Attachment 0008 - Price Model to clarify that one (1) Lot = one

(1) System = four (4) Payloads. No changes apply to Section 3.2.2, Payload Associated Deliverable Materials.

4. Will the Government please clarify that Offeror's are to pull DFARS section 252.227-7017 from the online DFARS clauses, modify the table in accordance with L-15.2.c(7)(c)4) instructions, and include with our proposal in Volume VII? Where are these files to be included in Vol VII?

Answer: DFARS 252.227-7017 has been included in Section K of the solicitation via Amendment 0003 for completion.

5. Will the Government please clarify if Offerors are to also include Section I as part of their proposal submission in Volume VII as it appears that Clause I-149 and I-154 require offeror information? Where should these Clauses be inserted in Vol VII?

Answer: This paragraph in Section L has been updated to include Section I for completion.

6. Will the Government permit vendors to adjust Yuma Demonstration personnel prior to their demonstration window? If so, what are the re-submission instructions to swap personnel?

Answer: For any new personnel, YPG needs the Extended Pass Request filled out for non-CAC holders and the form for their computers if they require internet, two weeks in advance.

For any airborne operators, the Air Transportation Agreement and Flight Authorization Form is required to be filled out and provided to YPG two weeks before flying.

However, if personnel already has a CAC, internet is not required, and are not flying; YPG just requires an updated personnel list the week prior to verify visitor requests are approved.
