The following questions were received in response to Solicitation FA930127Q0003. The answers below, together with the solicitation corrections that follow, constitute Amendment 0001. All interested vendors are hereby notified of these clarifications and changes. The due date for receipt of quotes remains unchanged unless otherwise stated herein.

PART I – CONSOLIDATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question 1 – Safety and Health Plan and Site Safety Checklist SOW Section 8 currently contains conflicting language regarding submission timing of the Safety and Health Plan. The Government is amending SOW Section 8 to establish a single, clear requirement: The Contractor shall submit the Safety and Health Plan and the corresponding site safety checklist to the Contracting Officer within ten (10) calendar days after award. No work under the BOA or any Task Order shall commence until the Safety and Health Plan has been reviewed and accepted by the safety office. Offerors shall not submit the Safety and Health Plan with the quote. It is not an evaluation factor under L.1 and will not be considered during quote evaluation. Question 2 – Base Access Documentation and Response Times Primary and backup technicians may be pre-cleared for Edwards AFB and Plant 42. The Contractor remains responsible for submitting required base access documentation to the designated Government Program Manager (GPM) or Government Point of Contact (GPOC) no later than ten (10) business days prior to the need for access. The response clock in SOW Section 3 begins upon notification by the designated Government Point of Contact. Acknowledgment times (two hours for emergency / four hours for routine) remain firm performance requirements. If Government access or escort processes prevent on-time arrival, the Contractor shall immediately document the delay and notify the Contracting Officer and GPM/GPOC in writing. Any request for equitable adjustment will be evaluated under the applicable Changes clause. The Government does not pre-authorize extensions to the stated response times. Question 3 – Diagnostic Arrival, Estimate, and Reimbursable Costs The Contractor is required to respond and perform the diagnostic inspection in accordance with the timelines in SOW Section 3 upon notification. No separate diagnostic Task Order will be issued in advance of a failure notification.
