Question: Evaluation Factor 4 (Qualifications of

Proposed Personnel) contains many references to experience of personnel being specifically related to CCDF and/or CCDF Lead Agencies. Would

HHS/ACF/OCC consider removing this language to ensure that proposed contractors' similar/related experience in other agencies is deemed equivalent to the experience the incumbent/partner with the incumbent may have had on the existing contract?

Answer: No; the Government will not remove this language. This foundational knowledge is essential to the successful performance of this requirement. Please reference Section C.1 "Scope and Requirements, General Requirements (g)" (page

9) and Section C.2 "Task 2 - Communications and

Content Expertise".

The due date/time for the submission of proposals remains unchanged. Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation shall be submitted by September 18, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. (ET).
