RFP, Cost Proposal Template

RFP Section B (CLIN 0001), Cost Template (SID Incentive Structure) CPIF Targets / Fees / Ratios

CLIN 0001 for the System Integration and Demonstration (SID) is specified as a Cost-Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) CLIN. Section B does not include any targets, Min/Max Fees, or Share Ratios.

However, Attachment 8 - Cost Proposal Tempate, includes a 6% Target Fee, 0% Min Fee, 15% Max Fee, and a Government/Contractor Share Ratio of 70%/30%. Are the targets and fees included in Attachment 8 examples only or are these targets, Min/Max Fees, and Share Ratios to be utilized in our proposal pricing?

Per L.4.7.2.2, "The rates and cost information included in the model are for example purposes only and are not intended to be used as a guideline for proposal preparation." N/A

3 RFP L.1.1, L.1.2

Threshold and Objective Proposals

Please confirm that, in addition to the two specific Objective requirements cited, the bidder may, at its discretion, propose to meet any other Objective requirement that is not already met by the Threshold proposal in its Objective proposal.

In both Threshold and Objective proposals, the offeror may exceed any requirements specified in the solicitation. N/A

4 RFP L.2.5.2.2 Electronic Submission Type

L.4.4.1.3 is corrected to remove "Name".

6 RFP L.4.4.1.3 Résumés

If the Government declines to allow names to be included in résumés, note that this clause does not prohibit inclusion of key personnel names elsewhere in the proposal, as is customary.

Questions and Answers - RFP W911SR-16-R-0002

Attachment 1 - SOM Performance Specification 3.5.11 Anti-Pilfering

Please provide definition of pilfering in sufficient detail for the offeror to provide a solution.

Offerors shall address pilfering by eliminating the ability for non-authorized users to tamper with the SOM controls (i.e.turn on or off or change parameters). N/A

Attachment 1 - SOM Performance Specification 3.3.2.4.f Software Upgrades

Please clarify whether the ability to perform upgrades in the field by operator is a Threshold or Objective requirement. Inclusion of the phrase in braces {} is not consistent with the notation explained in 3.3.1.4 where objective requirements will be followed by [O].

The Objective requirement is for a operator to be able to perform software upgrades in the field. The Performance Specification will be corrected to remove inconsistency.

Paragraph 3.3.2.4.f will be revised as follows: (in field by operator [O]).

10 Attachment 2 - DD 254 Security Classification

Please provide clarification on why a DD 254 has been provided if the PWS and Performance Specification indicate that the intended work to be performed is not classified.

Performance of the contract will likely require access to FOUO Information (see Item 10 (j) on the document), necessitating the DD 254. N/A

Attachment 7 - Past Performance Questionnaire Part I, Section A Field Omission

Part I, Section A requests Nature of the Effort or Items Purchased, however there is no fillable field for this information.

This was an unintentional omission.

The form field has been added and the document has been updated via Amendment 0001. The new document has been added to the FBO announcement as well.
