Solicitation Questions and Answers 7.10.23 - SHEP IDIQ.xlsx

Sheet1

The modified Attachment G, from 6/14/2023, show CLIN 0011AA combined as Blog, Diary, Discussion Board with quantity of 2 and CLIN 0011B as Moderated Chat with quantity of 5. And CLIN 0011 “Qualitative Study” shows with a quantity of 2, though as “NSP”.

Can you clarify which CLIN structure the contractor should use? Also, if using the combined CLIN 0011AA (Blog, Diary, Discussion Board), how will the govt order CLIN 0011A (e.g., one Blog/Diary study OR one Discussion Board study per order, or, will the contractor be required to execute a Blog/Diary and Discussion Board study with each order)? Similarly, if the gov’t intends to separately order studies under 0011, can you clarify which type of study should be priced there? Attachment G, Line 18, CLIN 0011 Qualitative Study with a quantity of 2 was a mistake and should be “0”. Qualitative Study is a category of study broken down by CLINs in the 0011 series. CLIN 0011 AA Blog, Deep Dive, Diary Discussion Board (quantity of 2) and 0011 AB Moderated Live Chat (quantity of 5). Under CLIN AA the government would order one of those (Blog OR Deep-Dive OR Diary OR Discussion Board) according to the nature of the project and which of the options might be the most appropriate according to the goals of the particular project.
