ANSWERS IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS SUBMITTED;

QUESTION 1:

Whether companies from Outside USA can apply for this?

RESPONSE:

No, this requirement is strictly for companies within the United States.

QUESTION 2:

Whether we need to come over there for meetings?

RESPONSE:

Yes, page 16 of the solicitation, B.4 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

4.2 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

The work shall take place at the Contractor’s site; however, there may be an occasional meeting at a VA headquarters facility in Washington DC (address to be provided prior to meeting). No work at any Government site will take place on Federal holidays or weekends, unless directed by the CO. Government will provide Information Technology (IT) equipment and support as needed.

QUESTION 3:

Can we perform the tasks (related to RFP) outside USA?

RESPONSE:

No, all services will need to be completed within the United States.

QUESTION 4:

Can we submit the proposals via email?

RESPONSE:

Yes, submit proposals to David.Rupert@va.gov by 1400 EST June 13, 2018

QUESTION 5:

Is there is an incumbent, could you please provide the contract number?

RESPONSE:

The prior contract number is VA79813F0054 and the incumbent is PENOBSCOT BAY MEDIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY.

QUESTION 6:

The level of effort the VA anticipates for ArcGIS Web Portal and Support. This looks like 1-2 FTEs but we would like to confirm this.

RESPONSE:

This information will not be provided. The offeror should base their proposal on their interpretation of the overall level of effort necessary to complete the tasking’s in the PWS. The government takes no position on how those decisions are made.

Or nicer Vendors having knowledge needed to accomplish this effort with their specific resource levels, skill sets, and assignments in such a way that suit their corporate structure and needs should make these decisions.

QUESTION 7:

The solicitation states that it is 100% small business set-aside, with tiered evaluation for SDVOSB, VOSB & HUB Zone. Does this mean that “small businesses” can not apply? Or does this mean that any small business can apply, and that a point scale or similar will be applied for those that qualified based on the tiers cited? And if so, what is the point measurements assigned or criteria for selection based on those classifications?

RESPONSE:

The solicitation says, “This solicitation is being issued as a tiered evaluation for SDVOSB concerns, or in the alternative, a tiered evaluation for VOSB concerns, or in the alternative, a set aside for other small business concerns with HUBZone small business concerns and 8(a) participants having priority. If award cannot be made, the solicitation will be cancelled and the requirement resolicited.”

Small businesses may apply. A small business with would fall under Tier 3 and would be evaluated after HUBZone Small Business Concerns and 8(A) Participants.

Evaluations will follow the evaluation criteria listed under Section E, E.1 on page 42 and 43.

QUESTION 8:

Are you able to share what companies have expressed interest?

RESPONSE:

You can see a list of all vendors who have expressed interest in this procurement on FBO.gov by looking under the “Interested Vendors List” for this solicitation. You will need to log-in or register to view this information.

QUESTION 9:

Can you provide a historical level of effort for GIS personnel under the task referenced in B.5 pricing?

RESPONSE:

See Response 6 above.
