Questions and Answers - Solicitation 12318726Q0132 - Job Corps Clinical Support Services - Frenchburg
1. Contract Vehicle: The Performance Work Statement (Attachment 2) references "Purchase Orders" issued under "the contract" and identifies the project as part of the broader Job Corps Centers Support Services (JCCSS) program. Could you confirm whether this RFQ results in a standalone, self-contained award, or whether it is being issued as a call under an existing JCCSS-level contract vehicle that offerors must separately hold?
This is a stand-alone or purchase order and is not a call order.
2. CLIN Structure: The Schedule of Items (Attachment 1) lists three CLINs – two for Social Services Assistant and one for Recreational Aide, each at 1,040 hours – while PWS Section 2.1 identifies a requirement for 2 Social Services Assistant positions and 13 Recreational Aide positions. Could you confirm the complete CLIN structure and quantities intended for pricing, particularly for the 13 Recreational Aide positions?
