6341494 Construction Management 4.3.1 Preface – Prime Contractor/Key Subcontractor Introduction

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Item B states, "For the purposes of this procurement, a key subcontractor is defined as any subcontractor performing "key" major work elements for which capability information is required to be submitted for evaluation as part of the Offeror's technical proposal. The Government has designated the following major work elements as "key":

- Architect-Engineer Design Firm"

Does this statement limit the contractor to only consider the Architect-Engineer Design firm as it's only Key Subcontractor? Or are we allowed to submit other key subcontractors that are utilized under a Prime Sub Teaming agreement, which is instrumental in the execution of the project and provides extensive past performance experience?

On: Dec 31 2015.

Government Response. . Para 4.3.1 a. says, "For purposes of this procurement, the terms 'key subcontractors' are used to refer only to the prospective subcontractors whose qualifications, experience, and past performance will be evaluated by the Government as part of the source selection process."

As noted in para 4.3.1 b., the government designates key subcontractors, and has only designated the A-E firm as a key subcontractor. As such, the government will only consider those firms designated as key, by the Government, as part of the source selection process. On: Jan 13 2016 Current Request Status: Request Closed
