Questions and Answers – RFQ 36C246Q0187

Question: Will the Government consider the individual past performance and technical certifications of "Key Personnel" (the OSR) as a demonstration of corporate relevancy in addition to or in place of past performance?

Answer: Corporate past performance may be supported by the individual experience of key personnel; however, key personnel must hold and maintain mandatory PAR Excellence OSR technical certification.

Question: What is the expected timeline for the OSR to obtain a PIV badge once the contract is awarded?

Anwser: The onboarding process to obtain contractor PIV card and access routinely takes 60-90 days.

Question: Beyond the technical requirements listed in the PWS, what does the agency define as a "highly successful" outcome for this contract in its first 12 months?

Answer: Highly successful is the key personnel ability to properly accomplish all task, meet the qualification, and train government employees efficiently on usage/operation of POU system according to SOW.

Questions: Are there specific "lessons learned" from previous iterations of this requirement that the Government is seeking to address with this new solicitation?

Question: Are there specific areas of the current Statement of Work where the Government sees the greatest opportunity for increased efficiency?

Answer: NA
