Q (46) Currently ___ has two FMS contracts dealing with Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF). One is for trainers and does not end until __________2012 and the other is to provide man power support in country to 569 ACSS/GFIA and does not end until __________. I would like to insure that these two contracts do not already constitute a conflict of interest. The answer will determine whether ___ continues working on a bid for this contract. You timely answer will greatly be appreciated. A (46) See RFP amendment 0005 that incorporates OCI clause. Q (47) A previous question indicated that the successful contractor will be precluded from any work for which they participated in developing requirements IAW PWS paragraph 4.9.3.8. Is it the government's intent to include an OCI clause in Section H at award? If so, which clause does the government intend to include. A (47) See RFP amendment 0005 that incorporates OCI clause. Q (48) The RFP said nothing about OCI and Para 4.13.3 of the PWS only references "Access to Data:" in regards to conflict of interest. Can potential conflict of interest issues with regards to paragraph 4.13.3 of the PWS be resolved at the task order level? In other words, should a task order contain or potentially contain OCI issues for one partner company (Prime or Sub), can the other partner(s) do the task order work?" A (48) See RFP amendment 0005 that incorporates OCI clause. Q (49) Section L of the solicitation requests that, "Offerors shall ensure that all clauses and provisions that require "fill-in" information are appropriately completed, including the proposed prices associated with the contract line items in the Schedule of the RFP." Section M of the solicitation includes the following wording, "c) Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The Government will calculate a TEP based on the following: For Firm Fixed Price (FFP) CLINs: Offerors will propose fully loaded labor rates in Attachment G (Fully loaded labor rates include base labor rates plus all indirect costs, G&A and profit). The Government will multiply the proposed fully loaded labor rates by an estimated number of hours not to be disclosed to the Offerors. All CLINs (Basic and Options) will be added together to come up with the TEP." If a level of effort is not going to be provided to Offerors, how would the Government like Offerors to complete Section B of the solicitation? A (49) See RFP amendment 0005. Q (50) Section 4.4 of the PWs states that, "Travel: The Contractor may be required to travel for the performance of the work described within this PWS. Travel may include locations within the continental United States and outside the continental United States." The PWS provided does not provide enough information for Offerors to reasonably estimate the travel and danger pay required per contract period. Will the Government provide a Not-to-Exceed amount for each applicable CLIN in Section B? A (50) See RFP amendment 0005.

Q (52) FAR clause 52.222-46 states that, "As part of their proposals, offerors will submit a total compensation plan setting forth salaries and fringe benefits proposed for the professional employees who will work under the contract."

If so, to what extent? b) PWS Paragraph 4.13.4 3rd sentence reads: "The Contractor's AIS shall be protected such that unauthorized disclosure of classified information or of sensitive, but of unclassified information is prevented."

Or will there be "waivers" allowed for any resources, especially incumbent employees that don't have degrees? A (54) See RFP amendment 0005 that incorporates waiver request in attached PWS. Q (55) When are the Past Performance Questionnaires due for FA8505-10-R-21787?

(Volume III is due in WR-ALC/830 ACSG/235 Byron Street Suite 19A Robins AFB, GA 31098-1607, Attention: Alexander Comportie, seven (7) calendar days prior to the required due date for proposals. Volumes I, II, and IV of the RFP are due no later than date called out on Block 9 of the face page of the solicitation standard form 1447, 4:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time. However, failure to submit VOLUME III by the earlier date will not result in offeror disqualification." Q(56) I am interested in obtaining a list of your Interested Vendors who have responded to you to date concerning this opportunity. Please respond with the current list if available. A(56) A listing is not available. Q (57) Ref Attachment G: How many employees are currently in each of the four labor categories (Administrative Support, Equipment Specialist, Logistics Specialist, Supply Support Specialist)? A (57) No, this is not required for proposal submission. Q (58) Ref Attachment G: For each of the employees in the four labor categories (Administrative Support, Equipment Specialist, Logistics Specialist, Supply Support Specialist), what is their current Level? A (58) No, this is not required for proposal submission. Q (59) Do all positions require a Secret Clearance? A (59) Reference PWS paragraph 4.13.2. Q (60) Will the contractor be required to have a secure IMS? A (60) No Q (61 ) Are you planning a site visit for this contract FA8505-10-R-21787 A (61) No, a site visit is not planned. Q (62) In the referenced RFP, we noticed a clause - I-532 52.242-4 CERTIFICATION OF FINAL INDIRECT COSTS (JAN 1997)- was included in the RFP. We are definitely used to seeing that in contracts and as part of our closeout of contracts, but not in the RFP. We are assuming that it is not necessary to complete this as part of the submission package since it addresses activities for administration of the contract and submission of incurred costs. Please clarify. A (62) It is only applicable if there have been billing rates used and final indirect cost rates must be established. Reference FAR 42.703-2(f) Q (63) We understand that we are to complete Attachment "G", Proposed Loaded Labor Rates; however, we need to know if the totals for each year (Basic and four option periods) prices should be included on CLINs 0001, and corresponding year CLINs, in section B of the RFP. If not, what pricing data is required for these CLINs. Additionally, are we to provide costs for CLINs 0002 and 0003 in section B of the RFP. A (63) See RFP amendment 0005 on cost reimbursement no-fee CLINs. Contractor is to propose rates only in Attachment G and attach this to the RFP. FFP Transition CLIN 0006 is to be entered on schedule B. OPTIONS I thru IV were deleted from the RFP because the Letter of Offer and Acceptance between the USG and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia did not support a five year Period of Performance.
