Questions and Answers

16-233-SOL-00608-0002

1. Question- The requirements state completion of the HHS Section 508 Evaluation Template but this appears to only apply to IT services and products, when the deliverable is a report (not IT service or product).

Answer- Section 2.4 in the RFQ has been updated to remove 508 requirement: Section 1194.24

Video and Multi-media Products. The final report still needs to be 508 compliant. Please review http://www.section508.gov/

2. Question- Could you please provide the incumbent contract number? If not, is this a new requirement?

Answer- This is a new requirement.

3. Question- Will all deliverables need to be submitted in hardcopy or will email submissions be permitted?

Answer – email copy is preferred.

4. Section 1.4 Consideration and Payment Schedule (FFP) has estimate of 555 hours total or approximately a quarter of an FTE is this the anticipated scope for level of effort for the one year period of performance?

Answer- We have removed the estimated hours section out of the RFQ. Please propose your own hours that you think the requirement needs

5. Question- The Request for Quotations page 1, references a “Delivery By” date of July 20, 2016 in field 6 and in the description. What delivery does this refer to? Should this correctly read July 20, 2017 for delivery of the Draft report identified in section 5.2 Delivery Schedule?

Answer- This is a system Issue. The POP for this requirement is 09/30/2016 to 09/29/2017

6. Question - Section 10.1 refers to Volumes 1 (Technical), 2 (Past Performance Quote) and 3 (Business

Quote). However Section 10.4 refers to “Volume II – Business Quote Instructions”. We presume that 10.4 should refer to Volume III, however please provide some further guidance on, or requirements for, submission of the Past Performance Quote. Is it required?

Answer- Section 10.4 has been adjusted to reflect the same format stated in section 10.1.

7. Question - Our understanding is that this procurement is a total small business set-aside. However the language on page 34, Section 10.4(b) references an applicable Master Contract. Is this in reference to the SAMSHSA IDIQ (HHSS283201200052I)? Please note we are a small business prime on Domain 3. Does it refer to some other Master contract?

Answer- This language has been removed.

http://www.section508.gov/

8. Question - Given that the RFP was not posted until July 15 would you consider extending the current due date of July 26?

Answer- This has been extended with a quote due date of August 5 th
