This document contains industry questions and answers related to a solicitation for Maneuver Center of Excellence support services. The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Eustis plans to award multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts for professional services including training concept development, strategy, doctrine, development, analysis, and instruction. The period of performance is five years including a 30-day phase-in. Task areas include training support for armor, infantry, airborne, and special forces brigades. Competition will be restricted to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses for some task areas while others will be open to all awardees. The government extended the past performance questionnaire deadline to match the proposal due date of October 27, 2017.

| Industry Questions - W911S0-17-R-0007 |
| Q# | QUESTIONS/COMMENTS | GOVERNMENT RESPONSE |
| 1 | Reference(s): RFP Section J, Attachment 1, Total Evaluated Price Worksheet. Question/Comment: RFP Section J, Attachment 1, Total Evaluated Price Worksheet, pages 63 through 73 identify pricing worksheets required for completion by contract year. Will the Government provide these worksheets in Microsoft Excel format with formulas intact so that all bidders are working off of the same worksheets/formulas? | Yes, word document deleted and replaced with Microsoft Excel, will be uploaded separately from solicitation. |
| 2 | Reference(s): RFP Section L, Past Performance Questionnaire/Section J, Attachment 4, Past Performance Questionnaire. Question/Comment: RFP Section L, Past Performance Questionnaire, page 119 and Section J, Attachment 4 page 79 both state completed past performance questionnaires are to be submitted by 12 October 2017. Is this accurate or should this be 27 October 2017 when all proposals are due? | Past performance questionnaires submission date extended; see block 9 of solicitation. |
| 3 | If the government is using a full and open competition why has the government elected to reserve awards to only one disadvantaged socioeconomic group and limit competition by other disadvantaged groups? | The Government's acquisition strategy is based on the results of the the market research and the need for the Government to achieve select Small Business goals. |
| 4 | As planned there will only be 3 awardees from the full and open competitors outside the SDVOSB reserve that can only compete for Task Ares 4 task orders. Why are the non-SDVOSB full and open competitors being asked to demonstrate capabilities in TAs that they cannot compete unless by some miracle not one of the four SDVOSB’s is not found acceptable? | The question misstates the Government's ordering procedures with respect to Task Area 4; specifically, Section H.1, subparagraph b states, "Task orders for Task Area 4, alone or in combination with another tasking area, will be competed among offerors awarded unrestricted MAIDIQs." To receive a MAIDIQ award, offeror’s must demonstrate capability in all six (6) Task Areas. |
| 5 | If companies are full and open awardees but are not SDVOSB and cannot compete for set-aside work in TA 1,2,3,5, and 6, how does the government intend to compete TA work among all awardees if a SDVOSB awardee is not found acceptable for a TA Task Order? Is a SDVOSB awardee that was found unacceptable on a task order proposal going to be allowed after a debrief to compete if the decision is made to open the competition to all awardees? | (1) Competition for task orders will be governed by the fair opportunity process in FAR 16.505(b) and the ordering procedures in Section H.1 of the solicitation. (2) "SDSVOSB concerns with Reserved contracts will be permitted to compete against offerors with unrestricted MAIDIQ contracts for task orders that include Task Area 4" as stated in Section H.1, subparagraph b. |
| 6 | Is it the government’s future intent to move this contract vehicle to a total SDVOSB status? | The Government has not made any determinations about the acquisition strategy for future versions of this contract. Any determinations about that strategy will be based on the results of market research, including the task order history of these contracts. |
| 7 | Reference(s): Section H.1, Ordering Procedures, states in Paragraph H.1.a that “Task orders for Task Areas 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, or any combination thereof, shall be set-aside for competition solely among SDVOSB concerns if two or more contracts have been awarded and the “Rule of Two” has been met.” Then Paragraph H.1.b states that “Task orders for Task Area 4, alone or in combination with another tasking area, will be competed among offerors awarded unrestricted MAIDIQs.” Question/Comment 1: Since the government intends on setting aside Task Areas 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 for competition solely among SDVOSB concerns, will the government allow large business bidders to only demonstrate their capability, understanding, and willingness to satisfactorily perform only Task Area 4, since that is the only task area that they will ever be allowed to compete for and work? | The question misstates the Government's ordering procedures with respect to Task Area 4; specifically, Section H.1, subparagraph b states, "Task orders for Task Area 4, alone or in combination with another tasking area, will be competed among offerors awarded unrestricted MAIDIQs." To receive a MAIDIQ award, offeror’s must demonstrate capability in all six (6) Task Areas. |
| 8 | Reference: RFP, Page 118, Section L.4.3 states: "Past Performance Information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners (collectively, partners) proposed to perform 25% or more of the proposed effort based on the total proposed Price." Question: Are Offerors allowed to include past performance references in Volume II: Factor 2 - Past Performance from subcontractors who are proposed to perform less than 25% of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price, provided that all Offeror and subcontractor past performance references are included within the 15 page limit for this Volume? | Yes |
