Are these all Firm Fixed Price with evidence of physical completion? If not can you give an approximate mix of PO/DO, fixed price contracts, labor hour, IDIQ, and cost reimbursable contracts? A1. A mix of all types of contracts including cost will be supplied. Coordination with ACOs and DCAA will be required. We have both DCMA and DCAA liaisons in house. No approximate mix can be given at this time. Q2. Does this include IDIQ contracts with delivery orders that are not part of t he 435 count, and if so are we required to document closeout of individual delivery orders before closing the contract? A2. Individual DOs must be closed out. A DO is considered as a closed out contract in the 435 count. Q3. Are the physical fil es in good order, and/or will the contractor be required to reconstruct missing award/modification or other significant documents? A3. Most files are in good order, however reconstruction of files and transferred work from other buying activities will exis t. Q4. Will we have a single CO/KO as point of contact for signing off on closeouts, or will we be working with various COs/KOs? A4. A CO/KO is designated as a team leader. However coordination with the CO/KO of records may be required. Q5. Will contracts be consider ed closed when payment is authorized, or do the records have to be closed in DFAS? A5. Closeouts are considered complete for the 435 count when brought to a point inherently governmental remaining. If a de-obligation is required the amount is t o be noted b y the closeout contractor but does not need to be cleared through DFAS to count fo r the 435 count, provided the work submitted was in accordance with the standards in the PWS. Q6. Am I to understand you correctly, that at each contract close out that time s the rate per contract (contract x rate = billing dollars amount). A6. The contractor will be paid a rate per contract closed out. ie: If the contractor performs 30 contract closeouts in a month, and the rate per contract is $2, they will bi ll as follows: (# of contracts closed out) x (amt per contract closed out) 30 x $2 = $60 Q7. Will a proposal be required or can a contractor submit a GSA Schedule? A7. This acquisition is not being procured through a GSA Schedule. Therefore a proposal shou ld be submitte d in accordance with the synopsis posted to the ASFI/FedBizOpps website on 31 August 2005. Q8. Would the Government consider a different NAICS code for this procurement? A8. The current NAICS code, 541611, best reflects the type of effort de scribed in the PWS. No waivers will be granted. Q9. What is the expectation on the part of C-E LCMC Acquisition Center, in terms of number of personnel (minimum & maximum) that is made available to complete this project in the span of four months as requir ed? A9. The contractor should determine the necessary number of personnel. However, offerors are cautioned that the Government will only provide facilities for up to three (3) employees. Q10. What is the average age of the Contracts to be closed? Are they fairly current? A10. The contractor can expect a variety of contracts to be closed out. No further information will be given in regards to the contracts to be closed. Q11. Are all the Government Task Leads/Action Officers located at Fort Monmouth? A11. No information regarding this question will be released. Q12. Is this currently being performed by the Government or a contractor? If contracted out, who is the incumbent? A12. Viatech Inc. is currently supporting this effort. Q13. What is the value of the current contract and how many contracts are to be closed out? A13. The current contract is a T&M contract.
