c. On the HVAC project:

i. Can it be an HVAC project on an addition?

ii. Is the award value the value of the HVAC or the overall project?

A1.

a. Award value means the value of the award, not the completed value.

b. On the Roof Installation or Repair:

i. Solicitation Section 00 22 16, Paragraph 3.1.1.4.2. states, “if submitting a general renovation project that included roofing, offeror shall clearly specify the dollar value attributed to roofing.”

ii. The award value is for the total award. The value attributed to construction, repair or alteration of a mechanical system shall be at least $50,000.00.

Q3. We are accustomed to submitting proposals for MATOC contracts which include a Seed Project to price. Can you verify if a Seed Project is incorporated into this solicitation?

A3. This MATOC solicitation does not include a Seed Project. Solicitation Section 00 21 00, paragraph 1.1.1. states, “Awards will be made to all qualified offerors in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.304(c)(1)(ii)(A).” See excerpt below.

“15.304 Evaluation factors and significant subfactors.

(ii) In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 3206(c), for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard—

(A) The contracting officer may choose not to include price or cost as an evaluation factor for award when a solicitation—

(1) Has an estimated value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Will result in multiple-award contracts (see subpart 16.5) that are for the same or similar services; and

(3) States that the Government intends to make an award to each and all qualifying offerors (see 2.101).”

Q4. Reference Solicitation Section 00 21 16, paragraph 3.3.4, what font type is allowed (Times Roman, Arial or some other font)?

A4. There is no specific font type required, as long as it is legible in the minimum font size of 10.

Q5. Where can contractors get assistance with PIEE Solicitation Module if they still have questions after reviewing the guide and web-based training linked on the SAM.gov Solicitation Notice?

A5. Contact Vendor Customer Support via the link on PIEE (https://piee.eb.mil/xhtml/unauth/web/homepage/vendorCustomerSupport.xhtml) or contact the APEX Accelerators (formerly PTACs) at https://www.aptac-us.org/contracting-assistance/.

Q6. There is not individual task order CPARS evaluations, only evaluations for each year of the MATOC. Will that be sufficient for the Past Performance on the task orders? If not, who do we send the Past Performance Questionnaire to?

A6. CPARS evaluations for a base MATOC are not sufficient to use as past performance submissions. If there are no CPARS evaluations that correspond to the projects submitted for Factor 1, offerors should follow instructions in the Solicitation Amendment 0001, Section 00 22 16, paragraph 3.2.3.
