1. On the literature it says that "Please send any questions and quotes to William Brannen at VWL0@cdc.gov no later than 06/27/2022 at 2:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time." That would have been this Monday, however the RFP submission deadline is on July 14th? Please advise as to if this RFP is still open to submissions.
0. CDC Response: The RFP is still open for submissions; the deadline is July 14, 2022. Late submissions will not be accepted.
1. Furthermore, will the Service Provider have to have had an existing relationship/partnership with the CDC in order to get awarded this contract? Will someone who has the space available in the 5 airports mentioned on the RFP but doesn't have an existing relationship with the CDC still be able to qualify for an application?
0. CDC Response: The service provider does not need to have an existing relationship/partnership with CDC. All offerors who have the ability to complete all the tasks described in the Statement of Work will be considered for this contract.
1. Finally, I know you mentioned that there is a clause to expand to 3 additional airports if needed. What are the airports? If we are applying upon the contingency of an additional 3 airports, and we have to secure and/or already have the airport space secured on our own - how will we know if we are a qualified applicant or not if we don't know what the 3 additional airports would be?
0. CDC Response: At this time, the contract is limited to the five airports listed in the Statement of Work. There is an optional line Item to expand the contract at up to three additional international airports within the United States that the government may exercise in the future. Due to the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the three additional airport locations cannot be predicted. If the government exercises the optional line item, the offeror would be notified of the additional airport location(s) and would then be required to secure space at those locations.
