combined synopsis/solicitation

Prospective

Amendment 0003: The purpose of this amendment is to: (a) respond to a solicitation question regarding subcontractor pricing, and (b) identify the companies for which Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) Non-Government Advisors are employed. (a) Question: Does an additional Pricing Worksheet need to be submitted for a subcontractor included in a proposal? Answer: No. Offerors should not submit a separate Pricing Worksheet for subcontractors. Instead, submit Attachment B, "Pricing Worksheet," which captures pricing for all labor categories within the specific group for which you are submitting a proposal — inclusive of any subcontractor labor. Keep the following in mind when pricing: At the IDIQ level: Proposed hourly rates must account for work performed by both the prime contractor and any subcontractors. At the ordering level: During competition, hourly rates may be adjusted downward to remain competitive — however, proposed hourly rates at the ordering level cannot exceed the rates agreed upon at the IDIQ level. (b) Non-Government Advisors: Non-Government personnel may serve as advisors to the Technical Evaluation Team (TET) as non-voting members of the evaluation board. These individuals are employed by the following contractors: Cherokee Nation Businesses Cherokee Federal Cherokee Nation Strategic Programs Nakupuna Solutions _________________________________ Amendment 0002: The purpose of this amendment is to answer the following question. Question: Are we required to fill in all the labor categories for each Group we are bidding on, or just those labor categories we believe we will charge to for that work? In some cases the Offeror doesn’t expect to use all the labor categories. However, it seems like you would want costs for every labor categories to have a fair comparison between different bidders. A: Offerors must provide pricing for all labor categories within each Group on which they are bidding — including those they do not anticipate using. This ensures a fair and consistent comparison across all offerors during the evaluation process. _________________________________ Amendment 0001: This amendment makes the following changes to the RFP: (a) Incorporates responses to industry questions (see Amendment 001 Questions and Answers.pdf).
