| Question |
| Response |
| Change to RFQ? |
| Description of Change |
Transportation and Storage The RFP references a “bonded storage facility” in several places. Can the Government provide the details of the requirements for a bonded facility as this can significantly affect pricing?
| The OCC’s definition of bonded storage facility is a facility that insures OCC property against theft, fire, damage, etc. For additional reference regarding OCC property, please see Attachment 4 – Current Inventory. |
| No. |
| 2 |
| 2.2 Storage Facility Security Requirements |
| The RFQ states: “Access to the separate storage area shall be restricted to authorized personnel”. Can the Government supply details on what is acceptable for a restricted area in the context of this proposal? Also, must the entire warehouse be restricted, or only the 10,000 Sq. Ft. required for this effort? |
| The OCC does not require the entire warehouse or 10,000 sq ft to be restricted, just a portion of the 10,000 sq ft. for sensitive IT equipment. This area should be a locked section within the warehouse. The 10,000 sq ft should be restricted to warehouse employees and OCC employees only. |
| No. |
Transportation and Storage
| The RFP states a requirement for the contractor to “Pick up material from a location designated by the COR”. Will the Government provide details on these location(s) designated by the COR, as multiple unknown pickup locations can significantly impact pricing? |
| There are two locations: |
1) OCC HQ, 400 7th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20219
2) OCC’s Ashburn Data Center, 43830 Devin Shafron Drive, Ashburn, VA 20147 No

| Section 4 FAR Provisions, Instructions to Offerors, Volume I: Technical |
| Do I understand it correctly, that the entire technical proposal is to be thoroughly completed on the Requirements Matrix and it does not require any other proposal document for Technical writeup besides Past Performance for this Volume I? Thank you. |
