1. This pre-solicitation notice is being updated for the purpose of obtaining industry feedback concerning DRAFT Request for Proposal (RFP) information.  Response to the request for questions is strictly voluntary and will not affect any firm's ability to submit an offer if, or when, a Final Solicitation is released.  However, we highly encourage you to reply. The request is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. There is no entitlement to payment by the Government of direct or indirect costs or charges that arise as a result of the submission of information in response to this notice. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any improperly identified proprietary information.  Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable Government regulations.

Please ensure that both sheets and fields are completed in their entirety.

The Government is requesting industry input on our proposed teaming approach as described in Section L, paragraph 2.1.4. Should you have any comments/questions with this approach please address in required excel matrix spreadsheet.

Also, the government is requesting industry input on the home/field labor categories (reference Attachment L-12) to ensure that your team (prime and/or teaming partners) will be able to provide a proposed rate for each category. The government's concern is we do not want to cause an offeror to break from their standard accounting practices and propose on a category that is covered within your Overhead costs.
