SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0001

Amendment 0001

Industry Questions / Government Response

1. Do the quantity amounts, noted on the Section SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET, constitute the entire 60-months, or are they annual amounts?

The amounts noted on the 1449 are for the entire 60-month ordering period.

2. Who is the current Vendor (incumbent Vendor)?

Vantex Service Corp

3. Would you also be able to provide the details (such as Vendor name, Contract Number, Award and end date, total contract value)?

Vantex Service Corp, contract W91151-17-D-0009, Awarded 15 Sept 2017 - 31 Aug 2022, $7.6M.

4. In Clauses incorporated by Reference, you include 252.243-7002 Request for Equitable Adjustment. Does this allow for pricing adjustments due to increases in cost of fuel, labor, and consumables? Or does clause 52.222-43 allow the adjustment?

This will be a Firm Fixed Price contract. In accordance with FAR 16.202-1 “A firm-fixed-price contract provides for a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor’s cost experience in performing the contract. This contract type places upon the contractor maximum risk and full responsibility for all costs and resulting profit or loss. It provides maximum incentive for the contractor to control costs and perform effectively and imposes a minimum administrative burden upon the contracting parties.” Price adjustments during contract execution due to fuel and consumables will not be authorized. Labor will follow the Wage Determination rates and will be adjusted annually as Wage Determinations are published.

5. Is it legal for a DVOSB to partner will a company that is over the set aside size standard of 8 million a year to partner on this contract?

IAW 13 CFR Part 121, A joint venture of two or more business concerns may submit an offer as a small business for a Federal procurement, subcontract or sale so long as each concern is small under the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the contract. For a competitive 8(a) procurement, a joint venture between an 8(a) Participant and one or more other small business concerns (including two firms approved by SBA to be a mentor and protégé under § 125.9 of this chapter) must also meet the requirements of § 124.513(c) and (d) of this chapter as of the date of the final proposal revision for negotiated acquisitions and final bid for sealed bidding in order to be eligible for award. Two firms approved by SBA to be a mentor and protégé under § 125.9 of this chapter may joint venture as a small business for any Federal government prime contract or subcontract, provided the protégé qualifies as small for the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the procurement, and the joint venture meets the requirements of § 124.513 (c) and (d), § 125.8(b) and (c), § 125.18(b)(2) and (3), § 126.616(c) and (d), or § 127.506(c) and (d) of this chapter, as appropriate.

W9115123R0003

6. Would such a partnership be disqualified or deemed nonresponsive under the size standards of this solicitation? How is this monitored?

The partnership would not be disqualified or deemed nonresponsive. The Federal Government relies on the annual self-certification that a business is small under the NAICS code in System for Award Management (SAM).gov. The Federal income tax return and any amendments filed with the IRS on or before the date of self-certification must be used to determine the size status of a concern.

7. In Section 3.1 you state that an on base dump location and fresh water is available for use. Is this for use at no charge or is there a charge associated with the dumping and water fill?

IAW PWS Para 3.1 The Government will furnish water to the Contractor for latrine and handwash station use and a dumpsite for black water for use under this contract. This is at no cost to the contractor.

8. In section 3.3 you state that an on base contractor yard is available for use. Is this provided at no charge? Does this location have any office facilities?

IAW PWS Para 3.3 The Government will provide the Contractor with a location in the Fort Hood main cantonment area to store equipment and for use as a general area of operation. This is at no cost to the contractor. This area is just an 8’ fenced in secure yard and offeror is responsible for their own office in that yard.

9. To access any of the service locations, is an off road vehicle required or can a standard service truck access all areas?

All Training Areas and a majority of Range roads are unpaved and have rocky areas, it is up to the offeror to best decide what vehicle is best suited to provide the service on those surfaces.
