Since BFTN is primarily a production contract, does this requirement have to be fulfilled by the prime contractor or may a subcontractor's past performance be used to satisfy this requirement? Answer: The Government will evaluate the 3 most recent and relevant past performance from prime and/or major subcontractors. *********************************************************************** 04/03/2018 - Attachment 8 (Past Performance Questionnaire) and Attachment 9 (Relevant Experience Form) posted. *********************************************************************** 04/03/2018 - Additional Vendor Q&A posted Question: Due to large number of materials and components needed for quotes, request that Government allow prime offerors to distribute drawings from the TDP to domestic subcontractors/sub-vendors. Answer: The Government prefers to have subcontractors request TDP individually; however, the prime vendor may submit a list of all its subcontractors/sub-vendors that it intends on distributing part or all of the TDP to, including Cage code and JCP Certification number for each subcontractor/sub-vendor. Once we, the Government verifies, we will authorize the prime vendor to distribute part or all of the TDP to those subcontractors/sub-vendors only. *********************************************************************** 03/22/2018 - Industry Day Q&A posted with Government responses. *********************************************************************** 3/7/2018- Industry Day Brief posted *********************************************************************** 2/28/2018- Attachment 2 Statement of Work dated 28 February and Exhibit A CDRL's uploaded *********************************************************************** 2/27/2018 - DRAFT BFTN RFP Posted N00039-18-R-0058 On 7th March 2018, Wednesday at 1100am PST PEO C4I PMW/A 170 will be hosting an Industry Day regarding Battle Force Tactical Network (BFTN) requirements and RFP at SPAWAR HQ, 4301 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92110 in OT3.
