RFP Page & Q&A

L.3.3.5 Paragraph 1 of the RFP & Question 94 of Amendment 4 Q&A

In L.3.3.5, the RFP states, "A Top Secret Facility Clearance issued by DSS will be required to fully perform this contract.

Offerors must demonstrate an understanding of this requirement and the ability to comply with the clearances issued by DSS. Offerors shall either submit evidence of clearance or a plan (including timelines) for obtaining clearance.

Notice is hereby given that the apparent successful Offeror shall have this TOP SECRET facility clearance no later than the time of proposal submission;

otherwise, it will not be eligible for award".

This statement refers only to the OFFEROR, which is very common.

However, in the Q&A, the question is asked, "Does the DOJ require the prime offeror and all subcontractors to have a TS FCL at the time of submission?"

The Government responded with "Yes, for all proposed Prime and subcontractors."

Would the Government consider applying the TS/FCL requirement to only the Offeror and major subcontractors?

The requirement for the entire team to have a TS/FCL would seem to be appropriate only at

Suggest that the Government have the RFP + Amendment 4, Sec. L.3.3.5 requirement referring to only the

OFFEROR

supersede the Q&A and strike the response to question 94.

Amendment No. 6 the Task Order level, depending on the requesting agency's needs. Several of the agencies listed in C.5, AFP Participating Agencies, require only Secret and/or Public Trust clearances for the FTEs involved.

Furthermore, the RFQ states in Section C.6.2 (b), Staffing, "Contractor personnel shall be required to have Top Secret-SCI, Top Secret, Secret, and Public Trust clearances based on order."

Finally, in additional guidance provided by the RFQ documents, only 50% of the FTEs currently on the contract or to be provided by the new IDIQ have/are required to have a Top Secret clearance.

Will the Government confirm that the RFP + Amendment 4, Sec.

L.3.3.5 supersedes Question 94?
