| Questions | Answers | ||
| 1. On page 15, Attachment A: Sample Electrical Load Requirement for Command Post and Attachment B: Basic Room Setup are referenced. Would you please be able to provide those attachments, as we are unable to find them? | 1.The technical requirement described for a Command Post is an example of the technical requirement. Individual statement of works for each task order will provide the applicable requirements | ||
| 2. Page limit for Past Performance. Is it 8 pages per citation or 8 pages total for all past performance citations? | 2. Eight pages in total not per citation. | ||
| 3. Under Factor 1, it makes refence that the Prime must have 2 performance references, it then states that the other 3 past performance references can be either for the offeror or its teammates.

| 4. Under Factor 3, for the original signature it says it should be included in the technical proposal labeled "Original"- aren't all of the responses being submitted digitally? And if so, how does the government want us to capture the original signature? | 4. See A0001. The sentences are removed. | ||
| 5. We have a client (Air National Guard) that had multiple contracts that are all recent and relevant, and each of these contracts were almost like individual task orders (over 20 contracts during a 4 year period) - during that time the Government was working on building an IDIQ to cover the work but in the interim they had to issue individual contracts for what would have been Task Orders under an IDIQ. Could we combine these all under 1 citation for our Past Performance Proposal, as each contract served as what a task order would be on a larger IDIQ? | 5. You may submit all of these under one citation. | ||
| 6. The government has included FAR Clause 52.222-42 by reference. Can the government please include a completed version of the clause? | 6. FAR Clause 52.222-42 has been removed. See A0001 | ||
| 7. CLINS X001, X004 and X005 (hotel rooms, travel and ODC) are labelled as FFP. Can the Government please define the G&A, or other applicable indirect costs, that will be allowable on these CLINs at the task order level? | 7. The ODCS have a firm fixed price CLIN at the IDIQ level. These are not to exceed amounts. Only the Other Direct Costs types listed under each IDIQ ODC CLIN will be allowed on at the task order ODC CLIN. The amount for these CLINS are pre-determined by the Government. At this time, the government is only allowing the ODC costs to be reflected at the task order level. Any indirect cost should be captured in the labor CLINS. | ||
| 8. Will CLINS X001, X004 and X005 be cost reimbursable CLINs at the task order level? | 8.

The other three past performances references can be for the offeror, predecessor companies, and /or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of this requirement." Can the government please confirm whether the number of past performance references is limited to four (4) or five (5) examples? | 9.

Can the government please confirm if the security clearance requirement is for all personnel or just key personnel? | 11. The security clearance is required for all personnel working on the contract (travel specialist and program manager) due to the sensitive information that the awardee will be privy to. | ||
