Question/Recommendation: What is meant by the phrase "cost proposal broke itemized per exercise and location?"

Per the PWS, 5.1.5 Annual Work Plan: The Contractor shall develop and submit to the KO through the COR an Annual

Work Plan IAW CDRL A-8. The plan shall describe how the

Contractor will approach the next option year requirements based on changes to the PWS, capacity and MCTP exercise schedule. The plan shall include a technical proposal limited to those changes, as well as a cost proposal itemized per exercise and location. Also reference to CDRL-A-8 for specific instructions.

43 (#3 under 1st paragrap h)

Discussion: RFP States, “Exercise Costs – This segment should capture all costs attributed to the exercise schedule identified in TE -7B that are not captured in item 1 or 2 above. Staffing (manning) by labor category and personnel count is required at the exercise level of detail.” However, some of the calendars/schedules are incomplete.

For example, in FY20 and FY21, not all training audience locations are specified which could have an impact on manning.

Question: Will the Government clarify whether offerors are to provide staffing (manning) by labor category and personnel count at exercise-level of detail for all exercises through the entire period of performance including all option years or provide one complete option year (Option Year 1) and project estimates for the remaining option years?

Offerors are to provide staffing (manning) by labor category and personnel count at exercise-level of detail for all exercises through the entire period of performance including all option years.

1.2.8.2: POD only supports WFXs.

1.2.8.3: EXCON only supports WFXs

1.2.8.4: WCOPFOR only supports WFXs.

1.2.8.5: OSCD supports WFXs, BWFXs, ASCC and JTF Enabled exercises.

Question: Can the government provide the same level of detail to add clarity of the level of support for

SDD to other teams and exercises (who does SDD support)?

From the PWS, SDD is responsible for this : The Scenario

Design Division (SDD): is responsible for producing an operational environment (OE) for MCTP exercises that achieves desired unit training objectives while fielding a challenging opposing force (OPFOR) consistent with Hybrid

Threat OPFOR doctrine as described in the TC 7-100 series.

Scenario design also controls the irregular threat forces and role-players during the exercise. Additionally, SDD coordinates and integrates the Unified Action Partner

(Interagency, Intergovernmental, Multinational, Cyber

Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA), Civil Affairs and

Information Operations) support to the exercise to meet operational training guidance and training objectives.

RFP Section M, Factor 2, Element 1, Scheduling and

Planning

The Government will evaluate the extent to which the Offeror’s proposed fiscal year plan thoroughly and completely details and synopsizes milestones, conferences, meetings and deliverables in a manner likely to result in successful performance of this requirement.

Question: We are asking for clarification of the terms “thoroughly and completely details” in conjunction with the word “synopsizes”.

Does the Government want a synopsis of the major exercise milestones, conferences, meetings and deliverables or do you want a detailed plan that reflects all milestones, conferences, meetings and deliverables for every exercise/MCTP activity?

The government wants a detailed plan that reflects all milestones, conferences, meetings and deliverables for every exercise/MCTP activity.
