Q&A OII Examinations and Related Services Questions and Answers

Question No.RFP Attachment No.REFERENCEQUESTIONGovernment Response
PageSectionPara.
1B04-SOW43.07SOW states " For Task 1 Standard Non-Leveraged Examinations and Task 2 Leveraged Examinations Contractor will provide two separate fixed prices, one examination as a desk (not on-site at the SBIC's location) and one price for travel." As travel will be identified at the Task Order Level under a separate CLIN, how is the Offeror expected to factor travel into the fixed price for on-site reviews?Anticipate one (1) examiner on-site for approximately 2-4 days anywhere in the united states. If additional travel is required then that will be identified at the Task Order Level under Task 9-Travel.

*Note: The travel location will be based by the location of the SBIC and the awardee agreement holders location (for example if the contractor is located on the west coast then in most instances they will be assigned an SBIC exam on the west coast)
