19AQMM22R0196 Q&A

Number Industry Question Government Response 1 Has Department of State petitioned SBA and received SBA approval to release this requirement from the 8(a) program per 13 CFR 124.504?/SF 1449/

U.S. Small Business Administration approved the Department's strategy on May 6, 2022.

2 Does Department of State interpret this requirement as completely new/different and distinguished from the incumbent's current contract (reserved for the 8(a) program), therefore precluding the need for Department of State to petition SBA to release it from the 8(a) program?/SF 1449/

U.S. Small Business Administration approved the Department's strategy on May 6, 2022.

3 Would the state department be open to sponsoring us for a facility clearance if we are awarded this contract or does not having an active facility clearance preclude us from bidding?

To be eligible for award, the company must have a Secret facility clearance. DOS will sponsor the awardee so that they may request a Top Secret facility clearance after award. The Instruction to Offerors and Performance Work Statement has been updated to reflect this change. The awardee must achive a Top Secret (TS) facility clearance prior to receiving any assignment under this contract that necessitates a TS clearance.

Questions are included exactly as submitted unless noted otherwise.
