Questions and Answers for RFP 47QMCH23R0001

Q&A Posting #1 12/2/2022

GSA Contracting Officers (Michael Sands and Christopher Hardcastle) will list all questions and answers received in response to the subject solicitation. GSA will seek ORR responses to any technical questions and publish Q&As in batches each Friday.

1. I believe you stated the PWS is the same in the solicitation as it is for the current contractor, MVM. Can you please confirm that the contractor will be responsible to book/arrange ALL transfers and reunification across the network of grantee sites (which includes even the small sites that may release 1-3 youth per week) – meaning that the grantee sites won’t do any booking of flights or escort any UCs for transfers/reunification (If this is the case, this will be a shift in current operations).

a. ORR Response: The ORR requires a national transportation contractor to be responsible to book/arrange ALL transfers and reunification and provide transport within the ORR network. The Contractor shall provide timely ground, air, or water transportation services including booking and transportation operations to transport a UC from an ORR facility to the sponsor and/or between ORR facilities, and/or to facilitate the transfer of UC custody between federal and/or non-federal agencies.

2. Will GSA be providing historical data on trips?

a. The historical data GSA possesses is being uploaded to SAM.gov as an excel document titled “Historical UCTL Data March 2022-December 2022.”

3. I believe someone asked a question at the Kick-Off event on 11/30/2022 about current contract cost, and I noted a figure of $6,300 that was mentioned by Mr. Hardcastle, but I had originally noted that as a cost per 1000 UCs and it doesn’t seem correct. Can you please confirm the correct figure and units with respect to current contract cost?

a. The current contract (47QMCH22C0001) possesses the following pricing:

CLIN 1: Operations & Infrastructure (FFP), $3,705,256.00 per month, $44,463,072 per year CLIN 2: Escorted UC Transportation (FFP LOE), $6,315,000.00 per 1,000 UC CLIN 3: Unescorted UC Transportation (FFP LOE), $94,725.00 per 20 UC

4. We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services.

a. M V M Inc. of Ashburn, VA has been performing these services for nearly two years. The current contract number is 47QMCH22C0001, and it expires on March 18, 2023.
