Questions & Answers

Q1. In addition to the survey results, are there any specific deliverable package required under the contract, such as a topline report, cross-tabulations, respondent-level dataset, analytical report, or presentation?

A1. It is expected that the U.S. Embassy receives a presentation summarizing the results of each questionnaire (e.g. a ppt file or other appropriate presentation format) that covers all questions asked and includes relevant graphs/charts and, when available, comparison charts with previous U.S. Embassy questionnaires.

This presentation will preferably be conducted in person at a set date upon completion of fieldwork and analysis of the results of the questionnaires. Each section of the questionnaire should have a topline paragraph in bullet points with the key take-aways of that section. Raw data of the responses will be provided to the Embassy, if requested

Q2. Are there any required sampling quotas or representativeness targets beyond a nationwide sample of approximately 1,000 respondents and inclusion of demographic questions (for example, age, gender, region, or other variables)?

A2. The Embassy does not require additional specific sample quotas beyond the solicitation's requirement for a nationwide sample of approximately 1,000 respondents. The survey sample shall be designed to be representative of the adult population in Greece, using the most recent official population statistics as the basis for the sampling methodology and/or weighting procedures. Offerors shall describe their proposed sampling methodology, including any weighting or other statistical procedures used to achieve a nationally representative sample. The survey shall also include demographic questions (e.g., age, gender, geographic region, and other relevant variables) to support analysis of the survey results.

Q3. Can the Government provide information regarding the current or previous contract, including incumbent contractor status and eligibility to complete, contract number, historical workload data, required clearances, and whether offerors may propose alternative approaches to performing the requirement?

A3. This is an open, competitive solicitation fully compliant with the

FAR. Interested parties should submit their proposals according to the instructions in the solicitation.

Q4. The Scope of Work states that the Contractor/Offeror and Project

Manager must be based in Greece and that the Contractor/Offeror must have performed comparable services in Greece. My question relates solely to offer or eligibility rather than the technical requirements. To avoid submitting a quotation that does not align with the Government’s intent, could the

Government clarify these eligibility requirements?

A4. As per the Scope of Work, Contractor/Offeror and project manager must both be based in Greece and able to demonstrate proof of prior experience with relevant past performance over the past 3 years, with comparable services having been offered in Greece.

Sincerely, s

Dresden A. Kalin

Contracting Officer
