2080

PWS 1.3.1.1
In the PWS there is indication of a QCP being required with the proposal submission, however it is not a part of the proposal instructions or evaluation criteria.

We assuming that this is a completely separate document, not a part of the technical 50 page limit. Please confirm.

Correct

17.
Submission
Instructions for submission of the hard copies are unclear. Please confirm our assumption that when we ship the (3) hard copies of the proposal, that all factors (Price, Technical, Past Performance and Administrative/Contract data can be combined into a single binder for each copy with tab separators/dividers.
Yes
18.
PWS 1.3.4
Can the government please specify which positions will be required to travel?
All
19.
Price (Travel)
For the Travel CLIN we are considering that it is a cost reimbursable element, please confirm. Please also confirm that we should leave this CLIN blank for our proposal submission.
PWS 1.10

Travel is cost reimbursable. This CLIN should not be priced on proposals. Please refer to PWS.

20.
Factor A, #9
In subfactor 1, #9 it reads: “(9) An adequate approach to reducing staff when a reduction in force is necessary”

Please confirm that any “reduction in force” (RIF) would be the result of the Government taking action via a contract modification to change the scope of work. It is presumed that any RIF would only be the result of a Government initiated action.

If the above statement is not correct, please elaborate on the Government’s intention when asking for this information.

Yes, this would be a result of the Government taking action via a contract modification.

This would not be a change in the scope of the work, but it would result in a Bilateral modification.
