Q1. Attachment 2, 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors (b) states, “The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days”. However, 52.212-2 Evaluation states, “Prices must remain effective for 120 days after solicitation closes”. Will the Government please confirm the validity date for offerors proposals?

A1. 52.212-1 (b) has been updated to reflect 120 days.

Q2. Will the Government incorporate resumes as part of the evaluation criteria to ensure offerors can adequately demonstrate offerors technical capability to perform all task areas of the SOW as required in the Technical Volume? If so, will the Government please exempt the resumes from the current page limitations of Volume I?

A2. No updates will be made. See section 6.4.1 of the SOW, resumes will only be required for replacement of key personnel only. We are not requesting resumes as part of the solicitation. The companies are responsible for hiring personnel that meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Q3. Are offerors required to submit representations and certifications with their offer? If so, will the Government confirm this can be submitted as a standalone document that does not count towards page limitations?

A3. Please see 52.212-1 on page one of the terms and conditions. The SOW has been updated to state the representations and certifications can be in volume V.

Q4. Will the Government either provide a word document or allow offerors to convert Attachment 4 into a word document to consolidate responses into Volume III as long as the outline conforms to the Solicitation page and font restrictions?

A4. A word version of attachment 4 is provided.

Q5. 6.1.1 List of Key Personnel lists 3 labor categories for Key Personnel. Will the Government confirm that resumes and letters of intent are required for the Production Controller, the Mechanic II, and ALL Mechanic I positions listed in Section 5.5 for Key Personnel?

A5. See A2 above.

Q6. Will the Government confirm offerors should utilize CBA rates effective 8/6/2026 within their pricing?

A8. The government will add the pricing for the 6-month extension based on the value of option period to when evaluating pricing.

Q9. In the CBA Article 14, Section 11, it states the employer will be required to pay up to 32 hours of unplanned closure time (e.g. day after Thanksgiving) to its employees. Does the government assume that these 32 hours are priced into the 1,872 productive hours per FTE listed in Attachment 1?

A9. No, the unplanned hours will be funded on a separate CLIN at time of award. The 32 hours will be addition to the 1,872 hours.   

Q10. The CBA in the solicitation does not include a rate for the Mechanic II position. Please confirm whether it is a CBA position and if so, will you provide the hourly rate?
