While the Q&A spoke to the SF1449 being populated upon award, it is still unclear as to how to address the ceiling line in Section B. Answer: The ceiling amount in Section B of the SF1449 for CLINs 0003 and 0004 do not require bidder’s input. No pricing information shall be in any volume other than Factor 4 – Price. Offerors shall use the price models provided as attachments to the solicitation to submit their proposed prices. CLIN Not to Exceed Values on the SF1449 will be filled in at time of award. **02 October 2024 - ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATE #2:** **Question:** Would the government please confirm that Offerors may include verifications from Facility Security Offices (FSO) showing proof of interim/active Secret security clearances for key personnel within an appendix in Volume 2, which would not count towards the 50 page maximum? **Answer:** Per section L, Key Personnel resumes shall be accompanied by verification from the Offeror’s FSO showing proof of an interim/active Secret security clearance. This accompaniment may be included in Volume 2 and will not count toward the 50-page maximum. Resumes and this accompaniment are excluded from the page count. **02 October 2024 - ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATE #1:** **Question:** The RFP is clear that the price for transition-in will be excluded from the total evaluated price. And the responses to questions 11, 18, 39, 70 are clear that Attachment J.4 is for evaluation purposes to "support the contract ceiling." For the Total Price worksheet in Attachment J.4 please clarify if row 15 and row 17 must both be below the $250M ceiling or if only row 17 must be below $250? **Answer:** Offerors shall provide their rates as requested in Attachment J.4. The Offerors total price (with or without transition) may exceed the contract ceiling of $250M. The total evaluated price will be used in the award determination. However, the ceiling price for the IDIQ will be set at $250M; therefore, Task Orders will not be issued exceeding $250M. **24 September 2024 - AMENDMENT 0001:** The purpose of this amendment is to update the solicitation documents based on industry feedback, provide updated Price Models (Attachments J.4 and J.5), provide the Government organizational chart, and provide Government responses to all industry questions. The proposal due date is extended to 08 October 2024 at 10:00 AM ET. The following attachments have been updated/added: Attachment J.4 - Base IDIQ Price Model - Updated 9.24.2024; Attachment J.5 - Task Order 1 Price Model - Updated 9.24.2024; Government_FOI_OrgChart_AFI; Solicitation Questions and Answers_Amendment 0001; W91CRB-21-R-0049_AFI_Solicitation_Amendment 0001.
