Q&As

Responses to Questions

12RADZ22Q0005 DAMS

9/7/2022

1) Which version of Adobe Lightroom do you use , the classic or the cloud version. Integration of the website with Adobe's products very much depends on the program you are using.

Adobe Lightroom Classic is considered best practice but not mandated. We encourage classic, and would use that as the integration model.

2) Would it be possible to have someone send me a .XMP file to test the demo system I am preparing?

Pic will be attached on sam.gov separate from amendment 0001. As a reminder, any .xmp integration must be married to the original raw file throughout the lifecycle of the file itself.

3) Is the intent for services needed to be for implementation and migration support should be included in bid response.

We do not understand this question the way it's worded - are you asking if the vendor needs to provide file migration support at startup? If so, then yes. I am unclear on what you mean by 'implementation support'. The government will be responsible for uploading all files into the contractors systems.

4) Can you please send us all the documents associated with this solicitation (a bunch of Tabs are mentioned in Volume I)?

All documents have been posted on sam.gov. If you are referring to the Volumes/Tabs in the addendums, these are the items that contractors are required to submit with their bids.

5) Is this a base plus 3 or Base plus 4 option years?

This is a base + 4 1-year option periods. This requirement also include the 52.217-8 optional 6-monh extension clause.

6) Can you confirm government plans for services as firm fixed price or time and materials?

This is a firm fixed price requirement.

7) Can we have an extension on submission date?

No extension will be granted. This has to be awarded by 9/25 to avoid a break in service.
