Questions and Answers:

1. I see there is a set-aside for the elevator inspections for SDVOB. Is the winning bid expected to complete the work themselves with a W2 employee(s)? Or will they be allowed to sub the work out or “hire” 1099 workers to complete the work?

As evidenced by the selected NAICS for this requirement and information found in #b #2 in the Addenda to 52.212-1, it is confirmed the limitations on subcontracting(LoS) set forth in 13 C.F.R. 125.6(a)(1) applies to this procurement. Please note that 852.219-10 and 852.219-74 are included and apply to this requirement.

Though compliance with the LoS is primarily a matter of contract administration, in accordance with the solicitation, vendors are required to submit information demonstrating how they plan to comply with the LoS which will be considered during the evaluation process.

I have included in this requirement a clause in accordance with new Class Deviation. This can be found in the amendment. This also will require additional documentation be submitted with the quote and the quote submission instructions has been amended to reflect this requirement.

7. Are we able to schedule a site visit for this project?

There is no site visit scheduled for this requirement.
