QUESTIONS FROM VENDORS ABOUT SOLICITATION #H92239-07-T-0005 1) Would you rather use an Existing Facility or a Custom Made Facility for your specific request? Prefer an existing facility to facilitate starting the contract in Dec/Jan timeframe. 2) Would the Government provide the 5.56 M4 rounds??? Yes, there is no requirement for the vendor to provide 5.56 mm rounds. 3) The requirement indicates that the contractor will be required to supply 130,000 rounds of 9mm ammo. As such, would the contractor be required to stock the full quantity should they be given the contract OR on a month to month basis depending on how many attendees per course? There is no requirement for the vendor to stock ahead. Each individual task order will indicate the amounts required per class. 4) Transportation - will the attendees be driving to the training facility from where they're stationed? We need to know if we should factor the cost of transportation and this will also help us decide on which choice of lodging we should include in our response. Transportation to and from the training site will be a Government incurred expense. 5) Weapons & Ammo Storage - We have had Government units come through our range/facility in the past and all weapons are essentially stored in the administrative building/classroom with an armed security guard throughout the evening. Will this suffice and meet your requirement? A vendor provided armed security guard in the administrative building/classroom will suffice. 6) EMOE - We noted the requirement for Advance Ballistic & Mechanical Breaching, however, will there be any need for EMOE (Explosive Method/s Of Entry)? We will need to factor this into our cost if it is needed. No. 7) We always price our training based on a minimum of 8 attendees. Will this be a problem for you? Yes, because we will have some classes with 6 students. 8) CQB section in this case is for armed or unarmed fighting? Armed. 9) In the ?STATEMENT OF WORK: SCOPE? last lines. ?The contractor shall provide 9MM ammunition?? Next it says ?The government will provide 230,000 rounds of 9mm ammo? Which one is Correct? Both, contractor will provide 130,000 rounds of 9mm, government will provide 230,000 rounds or 9mm. 10) Will the government supply vehicles? Government will provide vehicles for transportation to and from the training site. Vendor will provide vehicles for training. 11) Will the Government provide medic? Yes, the Government will have a medic/combat lifesaver on station, but the vendor is responsible for range/training medical plan IAW Local/State Law (evacuation procedures). 12) Gunsmith issues. Will gov?t provide extra parts and/or firearms in case of malfunction? Yes. 13) Please specify night vision types, brand names in use by the unit. PVS 14, PEQ 2, Aim Point, EOTECH. 14) Will the Government supply the devices for the trainees? What devices? We will provide NVGs and weapons. 15) Will the Government provide vehicles for training? If yes, please specify. No. 16) AMOUNT scenarios. Please be specific. Scenarios should include at a minimum Room clearing, multiple rooms, multiple breach points. 17) Is the 15-day training in December, a three consecutive 5-day training? There is no 15-day training schedule, all training will be conducted in 5 days as per paragraph 1 of the Statement of Work. There will be 12 personnel for Dec. 18) If so, will trainees be different in each 5-day training? No. 19 ) The contractor will be providing 130,000 rounds of Pistol Ammunition. What type of 9mm ammunition is acceptable/unacceptable for your weapons (Federal Ball 115gr, Winchester Frangible, etc.)? DODIC: A363, CTG 9mm Ball. 20) Will you be bringing your own Mechanical Breaching tools? No. Or does the solicitation only refer to Shotgun Breaching? If so, will you be bringing your own shotgun breaching ammunition or is the contractor required to provide? Solicitation refers to both mechanical and shotgun breaching. Vendor will be responsible for 500 rounds of 12 Gauge Breaching F/Autox104 shotgun ammo. 21) What type of Advanced Driver Training / Off-Road Driver Training will the participants have completed prior to training commencing? I utilize a 23-Mile off-road Live-Fire Convoy Course which requires driver skill but could incorporate minimum basic skills prior to conducting the live-fire portion of the course.
