Q: Are you satisfied with incumbent performance?
A: The Government does not release past performance information to competitors.
Q: What is the budget of this opportunity? Is Budget approved?
A: We do not intend to share the independent government estimate as it may be used for price evaluation purposes. Funding is budgeted for this acquisition.
Q: We would like to include a subcontractor / teaming partner on our team. If we do, can we utilize their experience in our proposal? Would you accept the experience for evaluation of our subcontractor/teaming partner?
A: We will consider the experience of the sub/teaming partner. Note that the past performance attachment indicates the Offeror must describe whether their contract/experience was as Prime or Sub. The small business prime contractor must provide at least 50% of the contract cost to qualify for the set-aside. Also make sure you comply with solicitation provision 52.215-22 Limitations on Pass-Through Charges-Identification of Subcontract Effort.
Q: We are considering solicitation 12318720R0007 however we did not find instructions to properly respond. In the attached PDF we find Section L however could not find instructions as to page count, volumes, format, and more. Are there other documents that we have not found?
A: Instructions to Offerors and Evaluation Methodology can be found in the provisions in Sections L (e.g. 52.222-46 Evaluation of Compensation for Professional Employees) and M, as well as, FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors and 52.212-2 Evaluation. Any clauses may be viewed in their entirety at www.acquisition.gov. There are no page limitations and responses can be in contractor format.

Q: In PWS Section 5.0 “Access to Contractor-Owned Meeting Facilities,” the government requires access to meeting facilities owned by the contractor. Many contractors lease, rather than own, their office space. Will the government accept a proposal as compliant regarding Section 5.0 if a bidder has control over an appropriate meeting space, either through ownership or a lease agreement?
A: The intention of the Government was to have access to contractor meeting facilities. The contractor’s meeting facilities do not need to be owned.
