TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

This notice of contract action is required to satisfy FAR 5.2 Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, specifically 5.203 Publicizing and Response Time.

PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.



************************************************************************************5/12/08

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

DESCRIPTION: The FINAL RFP has been posted below. All interested parties are reminded that the contracting officer is the sole focal point of any exchange with potential offerors.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RFP - FINAL REVIEW

DESCRIPTION: The B-2 Training System RFP is in Final Review. The B-2 Training System team intends to release the Final RFP, once Business Clearance is approved. This notice of contract action is required to satisfy FAR 5.2 Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, specifically 5.203 Publicizing and Response Time.

PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.



************************************************************************************5/12/08

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

TITLE: B-2 Training System Final RFP Release

DESCRIPTION: The FINAL RFP has been posted below. All interested parties are reminded that the contracting officer is the sole focal point of any exchange with potential offerors. Should questions pertaining to this acquisition be directed to your organization by other than the Source Selection Authority or the Source Selection Team, the inquiry should be directed to Betty W.

DEADLINESThe Past Performance Volume must be received by 19 June 2008, by 1500 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The rest of the proposal must be received by 22 July 2008, by 1500 EDT.





************************************************************************************5/15/08

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RFP - FINAL REVIEW

DESCRIPTION: The B-2 Training System RFP is in Final Review. The B-2 Training System team intends to release the Final RFP, once Business Clearance is approved. This notice of contract action is required to satisfy FAR 5.2 Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, specifically 5.203 Publicizing and Response Time.

PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.



************************************************************************************5/12/08

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

6/4/08

TITLE: B-2 Training System Final RFP Release

DESCRIPTION: The FINAL RFP has been posted below. All interested parties are reminded that the contracting officer is the sole focal point of any exchange with potential offerors. Should questions pertaining to this acquisition be directed to your organization by other than the Source Selection Authority or the Source Selection Team, the inquiry should be directed to Betty W. Clingerman at (937)255-2679 or Betty.Clingerman@wpafb.af.mil. The Source Selection Authority is the only person with authority to release information regarding an ongoing source selection.

DEADLINESThe Past Performance Volume must be received by 19 June 2008, by 1500 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The rest of the proposal must be received by 22 July 2008, by 1500 EDT.





************************************************************************************5/15/08

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RFP - FINAL REVIEW

DESCRIPTION: The B-2 Training System RFP is in Final Review. The B-2 Training System team intends to release the Final RFP, once Business Clearance is approved. This notice of contract action is required to satisfy FAR 5.2 Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, specifically 5.203 Publicizing and Response Time.

PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.



************************************************************************************5/12/08

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM NOTICE OF SITE VISIT TO THEB-2 TRAINING SYSTEM (TS) RECOMPETE. QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED AT THE SITE VISIT TO THE WEAPON SYSTEM SUPPORT CENTER (WSSC) AT TINKER AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)

DESCRIPTION: THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND ANSWERWERE PROVIDED TO THE ATTENDEES. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

SPECIFIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PROVIDED TO ATTENDEES:

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.

TITLE: B-2 TRAINING SYSTEM RECOMPETE UPDATE

DESCRIPTION: THE PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP. THE REST OF THE PROPOSAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY 1500 EST 45 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE FINAL RFP.

SECTION M, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 MISSION CAPABILITY TECHNICAL RATING, THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WAS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH: THE GOVERNMENT MAY CONSIDER PROVIDING POSITIVE EVALUATION CREDIT FOR EXCEEDING REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDING UPON THE BENEFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED TO INDUSTRY IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INITIAL DRAFT RFP. PLEASE CONTACT BETTY.CLINGERMAN@WPAFB.AF.MIL AND LUKE.SCHULTZ@WPAFB.AF.MIL REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Table includes 3.2.1.2.2 ATD Data Terminal even though paragraph 3.2.1.2.2 has been deleted in the Final Draft Spec. It should be deleted in the table as well. Answer: Deleted from verification matrix.

2. Question: The System Spec is a new document. What is expected for verification of this new spec? Is verification expected for the complete system or just incremental capabilities (e.g. EHF SATCOM)? May the contractor assume that the GFE Training System being provided by the Government meets the requirements set forth in the System Spec? Answer: Unless there are some outstanding documented issues addressed in problem reports, DRs, etc., the contractor can assume that the current B-2 TS capabilities meets the requirements of the system spec. Any new requirement (e.g. EHF SATCOM) levied on a contractor will have to be verified.

3. Question: Please clarify the third paragraph. There are missing words after "adhere to the requirements in". "..requirements in Air Force Policy Directive 33-2, Information Protection, and JAFAN 6/3, Protection of Special Access Program (SAP) Information in Information Systems. Answer: The SOW will be corrected.

4. Question: Section L para 4.2.5 d asks offerors to describe their Small Business Subcontracting Plan. PIXS list 13 attachments, the last being a Subcontracting Plan and section J likewise calls out this plan as Attachment 13. However, the list of required attachments to the proposal (Section L page 35, para 8.1) doesn't include the Subcontracting Plan, stopping at the first twelve attachments listed on PIXS. Is this Plan to be an attachment to the proposal? Answer: Will place attachment 13 back in section L 8.1. Verbiage has been corrected.



5. Question: There does not appear to be requirement for Offerors to provide an organizational structure, key personnel identification, or key personnel resumes. We suggest that the Government needs this information to conduct an informed evaluation of competitor's ability to assemble a competent team to support the required work content. Answer: Section L has been updated to include these requirements.

6. Question: We suggest that these CLINs as well as all other CPIF items be changed to FFP in order to lower the Government's overall risk. Answer: The Government has an acquisition strategy approved by our senior management. This approval included a contract type of CPIF. We will not consider a contract type of FFP, as we view contract type as an essential requirement of the acquisition strategy and hence the RFP.

7. Question: The current Section M does not mention the TSC upgrade approach or the relocation plan. We suggest that these items as well as the costs for these CLINs be evaluated as part of the Source Selection. Answer: We will not evaluate TSC items but price will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

8. Question: The SOW requires RESPONSE TIMES that are inconsistent with the design of the trainers. For example, the time for the WST is 15 minutes, but the device PIDS shows a set of repair times that are longer:

"3.2.3.2 Maintainability b. The WST maintainability requirements are as follows: The mean on---line corrective maintenance time (MCT) shall be 30 minutes or less and the maximum on---line corrective maintenance time (MMAX CT 0.9) shall be 60 minutes or less. The consumers risk shall be ten percent (10%). These times shall not include supply and administrative downtime. If testing is required after a unit is installed, the time for testing shall be included in the downtime. In determination of these times, all maintenance tasks shall be considered critical." Suggest that the required times be consistent with the PIDs requirements that the devices were designed and tested to. Answer: The response time and repair time are two different things. The repair time is defined in the PIDS for each device. The response time in the SOW is defined as "The Contractor shall be on the job and running diagnostics to identify, verify, and diagnose Training System problems/failures within the specified response time of user notification (see table in paragraph 3.4.6.5)."



9. Question: In the answers to industry questions dated 1 April, 2008, the government defines FMC as FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less is Partially Mission Capable and would be scored accordingly. Does the Government intend to update/amend 3.4.6.7 accordingly? Answer: This answer provides clarification for the previous PIXS notice - Answers to Industry Response question #190. First, there is no PMC requirement in the SOW. There is no Mission Essential Support List (MESL) type listing currently used. Systems are evaluated/scored on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the Continuous Training System (CTS) was doing a mission that did not require Radar, and the Radar was bent, it would be mission capable and the SIM could be rated at a 1; however, if it was a radar specific training mission objective, then the radar would be required and the SIM would not be mission capable (NMC). FMC means that the device is Fully Mission Capable (i.e. ALL of the capabilities). Anything less than "Mission Capable" would be scored accordingly.

10. Question: Suggest the small business goal be based on a percentage of sub contracted value or require a lower percentage of the total contract value. Similar USAF Aircrew Training System programs have a requirement for a lower percentage of total contract value. Answer: The percentages are reasonable and will remain as they are in the RFP.

11. Question: Will the government please provide contractors with a copy of the SENIOR JERSEY Security Classification Guide (SCG) & Annex B? Answer: The SCG provides classification guidance. The SCG does not provide additional security requirements - all the requirements are spelled out in the DD Form 254 and the SOW.

DOES THE CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE ON THE SOFTWARE CHANGE REVIEW BOARD?

The purpose of the Software Change Review Board (SCRB, scrub)is to determine what B-2 software problems or discrepancies get fixed or resolved. Software problems are written up as Software System Trouble Reports (SSTRs). The SCRB meets twice per year at Whiteman Air Force Base. The meetings are at Whiteman to assure Wing and aircrew participation. The person facilitating the meeting is from the 556 ACSS/GFEAB at Tinker Air Force Base. The SCRB reviews and scores existing SSTRs and ranks or priorities the SSTRs. ACC makes the final decision regarding the SSTRs to be worked by the 556 ACSS and scheduled for implementation in the jet. The Training System prime contractor as part of the Concurrency Management also reviews and tracks SSTRs for impact to the Training System and participates in the SCRB to be aware of the SSTRs being implemented in the jet so that they can coincidentally be implemented in the Training System.
