Katherine Iacovelli Contract Officer

19. Regarding General Requirements 10.3 Government Furnished Information, what information will be available to our student researchers? NCA will provide successful offerors with a complete data set of the cemetery of focus after award, once a formal agreement is in place.

20. What search parameters are available through the local National Cemetery data and would it be possible to get a screenshot or example of a page? NCA releases all the non-PII data: Last, f irst, sex, DOB, DOD, DOI (date of interment), branch, last rank held, decorations (if any), war/campaign (if any), and if they are interred with a spouse or dependent. Things not in the data that researchers always ask: race, ethnicity, religion, heirs. Under law, VA is only allowed to ask for just enough info to make a benefits eligibility determination, and race/ethnicity/religion does not factor into that, just qualifying military service. Project teams have to correlate NCA data with Census data or state-level sources or other information.

21. Which Volume should “Chart of Milestones with task and POC for each” go to? It should be placed in Volume 1, if you are at your page limit, then place it in Volume 4. any particular format you are looking for? Clear and concise, your choice of format.

22. Is there a fillable PDF for the Budget Form OMB No 3136-0134? No, the only format I have is Word or PDF. I changed the original OMB form to fit this use so using the original is not the same.
