| D.1  | Question   | May contractors whose NAICS code is not 541519  |
|      |            | compete for AR&SD; S&ST?                        |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.1  | Answer     | Yes. However, for the purposes of evaluation of |
|      |            | the extent of participation of SDB's, proposed  |
|      |            | participation must be in the specified NAICS    |
|      |            | code.                                           |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.2  | Question   | Must all members of a team have NAICS code      |
|      |            | 541519 designated to compete?                   |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.2  | Answer     | No.                                             |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.3  | Question   | Solicitation Number NNJ08191870L was released   |
|      |            | on April 18. The tasks are very similar to the  |
|      |            | tasks listed on the VSM slide in the Industry   |
|      |            | Day Presentation. Is this the same work - Has   |
|      |            | it been pulled out as a separate solicitation?  |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.3  | Answer     | No, this is not the same work. In the AR&SD;    |
|      |            | S&ST procurement, NNJ07136789R, the requirement |
|      |            | is for overall support in Vehicle System        |
|      |            | Management (VSM). In the NNJ08191870L the focus |
|      |            | is on the electronic procedures and the VSM     |
|      |            | relationship to electronic procedures. No work  |
|      |            | to date has been pulled out of the AR&SD        |
|      |            | Simulation and Software Technology Procurement  |
|      |            | (NNJ07136789R).                                 |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.4  | Question   | Is there an incumbent contractor, contractor    |
|      |            | group, or contractor team in place, or is this  |
|      |            | a new contract opportunity?                     |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.4  | Answer     | Yes. There is an incumbent contractor. This is  |
|      |            | not a new requirement. (reference Answer D.5)   |

+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.6  | Question   | How long has the incumbent contractor been      |
|      |            | offering this service?                          |

|      |            | currently in place, is not-to-exceed (NTE)      |
|      |            | \$37.5M.                                        |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+

| D.10 | Question   | Is a US-registered company that's foreign-owned |
|      |            | eligible to prime? If not, is it eligible for   |
|      |            | sub-contracting?                                |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.10 | Answer     | Yes.                                            |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.11 | Question   | Is it acceptable to submit a proposal targeting |
|      |            | one or two task orders only? If not, does that  |
|      |            | mean proposals must include all task orders?    |
+------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| D.11 | Answer     | No. In order for a proposal to be technically   |
|      |            | responsive to the RFP an offeror must address   |
|      |            | all seven of the sample task orders as well as  |
|      |            | the other requirements in the RFP.              |
