Contracting Officer’s Overview of Request for Proposal W9124G‐17‐R‐0002 for Ft Rucker Rotary

Maintenance

Industry Prospective Offerors, It is clear to us that our industry partners are paying close attention to the solicitation. We know the proposals are being wrapped up and scrubbed. We have been preparing for submittals and identified some small items that may cause some confusion. Transparency is our goal, so please note we have made some minor corrections.

The answers to a few more specific questions have been received. Some of the answers have already been released on Huddle facilitating immediate release. A few resulted in more TDR data. One reflected need for clarifying the accountability challenge reduction for not meeting the threshold daily mission performance. Specifically the offeror wanted assurance that incurred cost and Target Cost would not be reduced. Amendment 0005 revises Section H, Special Contract Requirement H‐004 by specifically identifying that only Target Profit, Target Price, and Ceiling Price are reduced when implementing the invoice reduction resulting from failing to meet the threshold. Another area that we adjusted was not driven by a question. We noted that the Small Business Participation Percentage

“Total Contract Value” was not clearly explained. Amendment 0005 revises Section L and M for consistency. Total Contract Value for this purpose is defined as TEP/C excluding CLIN X004 Phase Out, and X012 and X013, Incentives. We feel this clarification better represents where small business focus should be emphasized. Finally, as a result of the Air Force’s command emphasis on precluding Category

3 Hanger Queens, Attachment 17 AF PWS Table 3.16.1 added an Item K and a note K on pages 27, and

29, respectively. This change merely implements focus on an area that is already a requirement, so it should have no impact.

Amendment 0005 is posted with this letter. This is a Conformed Version modification including an SF33.

Use this SF 33 when responding as noted in Section L. Please review the questions, answers, and the amendment tracked changes very carefully. Continue to follow the written solicitation; remember, those written Government requirements are all that matters. We look forward to seeing your innovative responses by 3:00PM Central Time Friday 3 March 2017.

Sincerely

Dean M Carsello
