About this file
This document provides clarification to questions from interested firms regarding a federal contract solicitation for consular support services. The solicitation will seek proposals for the Bureau of Consular Affairs Global Support Strategy 2.0 (GSS 2.0) contract, an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity agreement with multiple awards to provide essential non-inherently governmental consular support services in 120 countries. Services will include information services, appointment scheduling, fee collection, document delivery, greeters at embassies and consulates, and optional offsite biometric collection. The $3.1 billion ceiling contract will have a one-year base period and nine one-year options awarded on a best value basis to U.S. companies. A facility security clearance is required. The pre-solicitation notice targets an August 2018 release on FedBizOpps, with industry day participation required at a U.S. consulate outside the U.S. The document clarifies that value-added taxes should be included in firm fixed price contract line item prices rather than a separate adjustments line item.

DoS’ RESPONSES
96 Are all VAT Taxes supposed to be in the Adjustments CLIN, and not included in the CLIN pricing?
Each Offeror shall price all firm-fixed price CLINs (inclusive of all labor, material, other direct costs, etc.
for the GSS Program) included in the RFP in Section J.2, Attachment A- 2, (Tables B-2 through B- 81), with the exception of those marked as TBD (Table B-1 – GSS Transition; Table B-82 – Adjustment;
Table B-83 Other USG Agency Services;
Table B-84 – GSS Performance Incentives/Disincentiv es; and Table B-85 Defense Base Act Insurance). The Firm- Fixed Price CLIN shall represent the contract ceiling price.
Cost/Price Proposal Instructions L.13
L.13 a. Modify RFP section L.13.a. to clearly identify that this CLIN only covers changes to the local country taxes post award of a Task Order, not to cover the VAT during an initial Task Order Proposal.
No; Section J.1, Attachment A-1 includes details on the Adjustments CLIN, which would apply post-Task Order award.
