	57	Are resumes required for surge positions?	General	No, only when the need is identified.	No
	58	The RFP states that subs are not to be submitted. If a key position is filled by a sub, is that relevant?	General	This information is captured at the Task Order only. The column "TYPE" in the Task Order Pricing templates must be completed which captures this information.	No

	64	How do you plan to hold primes accountable for small business plans	General	esrs.gov	No

	66	If a company was/is a subcontractor but wants to bid as a prime, they are unable to get a past performance reference from the current primes. Would the government consider providing feedback on subcontractors directly in this case?	Section L & M	No, the Government did not have a direct relationship.	No
	67	Will the Government evaluate company's fee and margins in order to make sure they are not excessive?	Section L & M	Yes, Total Compensation Package is being evaluated.	No
	68	Would the government accept past performance by principals (and the principals team) that all worked together in a different company, and unilaterally moved into the company proposing, providing it is all relevant and meets the time requirements. Specifically relating to a small business offer.	Section L & M	Past Performance is based upon the "Company" Past Performance	No
	69	RFQ states that telework may be allowed under certain circumstances to 1 day per two week. Will this be allowed for all positions and task orders?	Section C	Conditional Telework may be authorized as circumstances permit.	No
	70	Is there currently an incumbent for this task order? If so, would the government provide the name of the incumbent to include prime and subcontractors?	General	Question is unclear as to which Task Order is in reference. See Response #47 for a list of incumbent contractors.	No
	71	Do bidders have to bid on all of the task orders?	General	No, see Response to Question #2	No
	72	Given the submission requirements and the fact that RFIs won't be answered until 3/16/2022 at the earliest, will the government extend the due date until at least April 15, 2022?	General	Yes, see Amendment.	Yes
	73	Will the government consider setting aside IDIQ awards for small businesses?	General	No Set Aside	No
	74	Given the requirement that all positions for the IDIQ and each of the task orders are considered key personnel and thus require the submission of resumes with bidder submissions, the specificity of the personnel requirements, and the relatively short turnaround time for an IDIQ and task orders of this size and magnitude, it appears that this opportunity is heavily skewed to the benefit of the incumbent. Even large companies not already involved in predecessor contract(s) will have a challenge providing 110+ resumes for TS personnel. Will the government scale back the number of personnel they consider key for the IDIQ and each of the task orders?	General	No, Resumes are not required for the IDIQ. Resumes are required for the Seed Task Order(s) you are bidding.

No
75	During the presentation AESU noted that they were adding 3 new positions between DC and Quantico, 2 Estimators and 1 CADD/BIM Specialist, and that they currently had 50 people on staff. The pricing sheet asks for 10 Non Surge positions. Could you please explain the difference in these numbers?
AESU Task order	Follow the AESU Task Order. TORFP_AESU provides the Labor Categories required by the government.	No
76	Would the FBI please provide guidance on the total amount of subcontracted dollars that a Prime allocate for small business participation?

So for example if a task order has a top line value of $100 would 40% of the top line revenue be a good target? would 30%? Once the FBI provides guidance, perhaps this could also be included in the eval criteria as a sub factor?	H.23 and L.6.1	Question is unclear and unable to be answered as written. See H.23 and L.6.1	No
	77	In consideration of the following FAR Clause addressing Continuity of Services referenced below; and, to Level the Playing field, if all resumes of staff must be submitted and all staff are considered key personnel, 1) are the existing staff considered key personnel as well? 2) if so when will the resumes of the existing staff be provided to the bidders?

Additionally, 3) would the Government consider asking the offeror to submit resumes for new positions only and evaluate based on those resumes and then, 4) lengthening the transition period to 60 to 90 days which would allow for the Awardee to interview and negotiate with existing key personnel (Continuity of Services) but also find replacements for those positions that are not transitioned to the awardee’s contract and that require new resumes.	Section I	1) Key personnel are position based, not person based. 2) resumes of existing staff will not be provided. 3) No 4) No	No
	78	In consideration of the example of staffing headcount clarification requested of AESU and the Continuity of Services clause would FBI please revisit the resume counts required by each Task Order and require resumes only for NEW KEY POSITIONS only.	General	No	No
	79	By Task Order location which positions are new positions?	General	New Positions: RPMS, AESU, FOSS and NCRS are approximately 10% new. CJIS is 100% new. RFSS is approximately 80% new.	No
	80	Considering the existing positions and staff by Task Order location which positions are vacant?	General	See Response #79	No
	81	For the purposes of leveling the playing field and estimating our costs and level of effort to transition in, of the existing staff count, what percentage the existing positions will require new replacement personnel? And can that percentage be applied to all Task orders? If not please provide a staff replacement percentage for each task order.	General	See Response #79	No
	82	During the Industry Day, the government representatives shared their desire that all key personnel be available and identified in the Offeror’s proposal to meet the government’s immediate needs. This may conflict with the current solicitation documents that seems to limit responses to materials from the Prime offeror only.

P. 76, Section L.1.e “General Instructions” states, “For the purposes of the IDIQ evaluation, proposals shall only contain capabilities and experiences of the Offeror (with no proposed subcontractors or team members). IDIQ Proposals shall not propose nor contain capabilities and experiences of subcontractors, partners, or team members.”

Later in Section L.4.1, there are several references to the use of subcontractors that the Offeror must address. Specifically, On p.85, Subfactor 1 – Technical & Management Approach, the Offeror must discuss “approach to manage teaming partners and/or subcontractor relationships.”

On p. 86, Subfactor 2 – Staffing Approach, “For each PWS proposed, Offeror shall include a designation if the position will be direct employee, new hire or filled by a sub-contractor.”

Furthermore, Subfactor 2 goes on to ask for “recruitment strategies”, “recruitment plans” and “specific measures used to incentivize and capture candidates.”

On page 87, The Targeting Staffing Level Schedule states that “25% Contractor Personnel Identified with Top Secret – Clearance Week 1.”

1) These requirements seem to indicate that candidates do not have to be identified for proposal purposes. Please clarify whether a proposer will be permitted to:

2) Identify subcontractors and use subcontractor’s personnel for positions under one or multiple seed task orders?

3) include the subcontractor’s personnel resumes and rates in the proposer’s offer for evaluation?

4) only identify 25% of the candidates by name for each seed task order?	General	1) Page 87, Personnel "Identified" should read Personnel "PERFORMING" 2) YES 3) YES for resumes, and all rates are established with the Prime at the IDIQ level and flow down to the Task Order level. 4) 100% must be identified at the Task Order proposal with 25% available to PERFORM.	Yes
	83	Please clarify whether Offerors should submit a resume for the overall IDIQ Manager? If so, in what volume should this individual’s resume be included?	C.1.4 Personnel	The IDIQ does not require a resume for the non-billable IDIQ Manager, only identification and contact information of the individual responsible for IDIQ Management.	No
	84	It is not clear how we should incorporate our responses to each seed task order in the overall proposal. Which volume should the seed task order responses be included - Vol II or Vol V since they include pricing? Also, please confirm if they are excluded from the overall page counts identified in the table?
L.2.1.b Proposal Format, Table l-2	Task Order responses are not to be included in the IDIQ response. Please submit Task Order response(s) separately from the IDIQ response.	No
	85	Since we are page limited in our response, will the government consider spacing between lines of 1 space instead of 1 ½ spaces?
L.2.1.C Line Spacing	No	No
	86	Please clarify how seed order proposals are to be included in this section and whether they are exempt from the overall page counts for this volume?
L.4.1 Technical	See Response #84	No
	87	Please clarify how offerors should address this without conflicting with L.1.e about not proposing subcontractors, partners, or team members?	L.6.1- Small Business Plan	See Amendment	Yes
	88	The third paragraph states that it is the government’s intent to make five awards under this contract. Please verify that this has changed to ‘at least three awards or potentially more,’ per the Industry Day.	M. 1.2: Basis for Award	See Amendment	Yes
	89	Will all contractors that receive awards be awarded at least one seed TO? If so, how will the TOs be distributed amongst contractors?	M. 1.2: Basis for Award	No, it is possible, that if selected to receive an IDIQ Award, your proposal may not receive a Task Order. Each Task Order will be evaluated separately for a best value award.	No
	90	Would the Government please clarify that the Offeror may cite the prime contract past performance and experience of a sister subsidiary company so long as the Offeror demonstrates how the resources of the sister subsidiary will meaningfully contribute to the performance of the opportunity?	L.5

M.3.3

	Yes, so long as the vendor clearly demonstrates how the resources of the sister subsidiary will meaningfully contribute to the performance of the opportunity.	No
	91	Please provide the labor categories which fall under the wage determination for the IDIQ.	C.1.4	Administrative, Locksmith, Electronic Tech	No
	92	The Offeror shall designate one of the proposed key positions as the IDIQ Manager.
Q: Will the Government please confirm resumes are only required in the TORFP responses and the IDIQ manager does not require a separate resume?	C.1.4

TORFP Key Personnel

	103	Can the requirement for the Key Management Personnel Listing (KMPL) be modified to include the same or similar requirements for KPML, as defined by the DSS?

	104	Previous Contractors, who’ve primed or been subcontractors on the FBI FPSS contract have past performance that is very relevant and applicable to the scope the FBI is requesting.

	L.5, Volume III	No	No
	105	Can the key personnel roles already filled by incumbent staff be considered “essential” and therefore not require a resume, but instead an explanation about how you would transition that essential staff member?
