Industry Question VA Response
1. What is the total award value (size) of the current contract, which is presently ongoing by the Incumbent vendor?
This a new requirement, therefore there is no incumbent.
2. Can we request the Government for the Incumbent vendor’s Name & their contract number (which is currently underperformance)?
Please refer to response above.
3. Is the intent for the platform to be able to provide VA selected cyber training, from vendors outside of this solicitation? Ex:
VA may procure training directly with any training content vendor, and that training requirement may still be included and inventoried in this platform.
The focus of this effort is to provide technical training for all VA staff based on the work roles noted in VA Handbook 6505, DoD Cyber Framework and DoD 8140.02, and not just limited to “cyber training”. The Offeror’s solution shall address all requirements noted within the Performance Work Statement.
VA should not have a need to procure any additional modules or content related to these topics. The Offeror would be responsible for ensuring its catalogue continues to meet these requirements.
However, VA does reserve its right to fulfil any additional training requirements, as needed.
4. If additional training may be procured outside of this solicitation, but included in the tracking, requirements, and reporting (in order to support the readiness initiatives and analytics), is there a target or minimum amount of training coverage desired to be included in this solicitation? If permissible, additional optional CLINs would allow the clear inclusion of additional training, while providing the Government with more optionality on the types of cyber training ultimately selected.
Please refer to the response to question # 3.
5. Do the current TMS and ELMS systems each have a documented API that can be shared, in order to estimate those lines of effort accurately?
The current TMS system has documented API information. The following link will point to all of the
HCM Suite Data API’s. There is a downloadable helpfile (PDF Format). The link is
(https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_SUCCESSFACTORS_
PLATFORM/d599f15995d348a1b45ba5603e2aba9b/ af2b8d5437494b12be88fe374eba75b6.html)
VA has not yet awarded the ELMS requirement, therefore currently, there is no API data available.
6. The instructions for submission are directing us to electronically submit our proposal via https://www.sam.gov, however, there does not seem to be a place for us to submit our proposal on sam.gov when we pull up the solicitation.
Would you please advise?
The submission instructions have been updated.
Please refer to the amendment and updated Section E.13 with highlighted changes.
7. Will VA need the unit price broken out or is a total price sufficient if we are responding with an enterprise software license that would cover up to 10,000 users?
Offerors shall include a monthly unit price as required by the solicitation.
