We present the following questions and considerations. Due to the upcoming holiday and the findings below we would ask that the solicitation due date be extended by 2 weeks? To adjust to the findings and changes/clarifications that we documented below

A. The solicitation due date will not be extended.

• W91QV122R0059, PWS, pg 131, sec 1.5.14 Phase-In/Phase-Out The Government will allow a fourteen (14) day phase in period between the new in-coming contractor and the incumbent. This allows no time for onboarding. FAR/DFAR 52.237-3 — Continuity Of Services (Jan 1991),The Contractor shall, upon the Contracting Officer's written notice, (1) furnish phase-in, phase-out services for up to ninety (90) days after this contract expires and (2) negotiate in good faith a plan with a successor to determine the nature and extent of phase-in, phase-out services required.

• W91QV122R0059, Pricing Model, line 77, Breakout Tab Will the government please provide clarification on CLIN X022 SLOC Preparation & Training. The requirement is for 1-3 days per year, however because there was a range given but only a single pricing line the assumptions one contractor might make vs another allow for potential pricing issues. Will the government provide a more defined requirement for pricing purposes to avoid ambiguity?

A. SLOC varies from 1 – 3 days per course. There is no pre-set plan for SLOC. The course length is based on the requirements of the customer. The customer will highlight what specifics are needed in their requested SLOC and the contractor will define the educational requirements. No SLOC is the same, this is a tailored course. Historically, in a 12 month period there are 10 to 12 SLOC’s and the average days per SLOC were:

1 day: 80% 2 days: 10% 3 days: 10%

• W91QV122R0059, L.2.3.2 Part 2 – Small Business Subcontracting Plan and L.1.3 A(b) proposal content Would the Government please clarify that SSRs and SSIs are excluded from page count in Volume 2 and that the reference to them in Volume 3 in the proposal content table is a typographical error?

A. The reference to them in Volume III in the proposal content table is a typographical error. L.1.3 A(b) Proposal Content Table has been revised to reflect that Summary Subcontracting Reports (SSRs) and Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISRs) shall be included in Volume II, not Volume III, and are excluded from the page count.
