Questions and Answers Second Set for FICS-SAM.GOV Questions 63 and 64.docx

63. Ref: W91CRB-23-R-5011 DRAFT

Prior Question 17: Recommend removing dates from CLINS 0001-0005 and replacing them with number of days from contract award.

Response: Delivery dates to remain as stated.

Question: The Government’s response to industry Question 17 fails to correct an obvious error in the RFP creating a conflict between RFP Sections A and B. RFP Section A paragraph 3 states the contract will have a five (5) year period of performance (60-months from contract award). Section B, CLINs 0002, 0003, and 0004, which are level-of-effort Service requirements for the contract period of performance, each identify 09-April-2027 as the performance completion date. Whereas 09-April-2027 is less than five (5) years from the date of this email, ACC is requested to rectify the discrepancy between Sections A and B confirming the contract period of performance in terms of days or months after date of contract award.

Response: CLINs 0002, 0003 and 0004 have been updated to add a Period of Performance (POP) of 60 months.

64. Ref: ATTACHMENT 0001 SOW TW-B-ZDK 5-3

Prior Question 20: Question: CDRL E002 Small Scale Demonstration (SSD) Plan – There is a CDRL for SSD (E002) but there is no corresponding requirement in the SOW document. Recommend adding SSD requirements definition to SOW Section 6.

Response: SSD is listed in SOW, Section 6.3.

Prior Question 50: Question: CDRL E003 Demonstration Test and Evaluation (DTE) Plan and Report is not accounted for in the SOW. The offeror assumes this scope is captured in SOW 6.3. Please confirm.

Response: SOW 6.4 is for CDRL E003

Question: Government responses to industry Questions 20 and 50 fail to clarify and correctly state performance requirements specific to: (1) SOW Section 6.3 Demonstration Test and Evaluation (In-Country), (2) CDRL E002 Small Scale Demonstration (SDD) Plan and Report and (3) CDRL E003 Demonstration Test and Evaluation (DT&E) Plan (In-country) and Report.

Work Statement Section 6.3 Demonstration Test and Evaluation (DT&E) Plan (In-country) incorrectly references CDRL E002 Small Scale Demonstration (SDD) Plan and Report; the correct CDRL reference for RFP Work Statement Section 6.3 Demonstration Test and Evaluation (DT&E) Plan (In-country) is CDRL E003 Demonstration Test and Evaluation (DT&E) Plan (In-country) and Report. Acc is requested to confirm the error will be corrected.

As drafted, RFP Section DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/WORK STATEMENT does not include an express requirement for the contractor to perform or otherwise support a Small Scale Demonstration (SDD). Notwithstanding that omission, the Work Statement includes CDRL E002 Small Scale Demonstration (SDD) Plan and Report. It’s noted that the CDRL E002 DD Form 1423 does not include a “Contract Reference” (Block 5). Please rectify the apparent omission of contractor requirements for supporting a Small Scale Demonstration (SDD), as well as the existing discrepancy in the RFP Work Statement related to Section 6.3 and CDRL E002 Small Scale Demonstration (SDD) Plan and Report as noted above.

Response: Section 6.3 of the current Statement of Work (SOW) has been revised. SSD is not listed as section 6.3 and the CDRL is E002. Demonstration Test and Evaluation (In-Country) is now section 6.4. and the CDRL is still E003.

The “Contract Reference” (Block 5) has been updated on all corresponding CDRLs.
