No. QUESTION Response

We are very experienced providing these same services for other Maryland and Virginia customers; however, even for experienced firms like ours, the technical and pricing/costing requirements are difficult to meet by the October 16th deadline.

Will the government please consider extending the submission due date October 30th to ensure qualified firms like ours can submit a compliant proposal? Would the government be willing to respond to our request by October 9th?

Unfortunately, the using service does not feel comfortable extending the quote due date to ensure all necessary steps are able to be completed and award is made prior to the end of the current contract on 10/30.

Some of our State of Maryland government customers have policies that prohibit them from completing rating forms (e.g., PPQs) that are not of their own format. Will the government please consider accepting other forms of past performance assessment other than PPQs and CPARs?

No issue with providing a past performance assessment that is different from the format provided.

Is there a cost estimate , budget or ballpark figure for the project listed? Is there an actual start date for the project?
