REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL NUMBER: 75N91021R00007

Amendment No.: 1

Date of Issuance: 12/16/2020

The above numbered Request For Proposal (RFP) is amended as set forth below. The hour and date specified for receipt of Offerors is changed to: January 15, 2021 at 4:00 PM ET.

Offerors MUST acknowledge receipt of the amendment prior to the hour and the date specified in the solicitation or as amended, by separate letter, telegram, or Electronic Mail which includes a reference to the RFP and Amendment number(s). For your convenience, the Proposal Intent Response Form is provided in SECTION J - List of Attachments of this RFP, for this purpose.

FAILURE OF YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO BE RECEIVED AT THE PLACE

DESIGNATED FOR THE RECEIPT OF OFFERORS PRIOR TO THE HOUR AND DATE

SPECIFIED MAY RESULT IN REJECTION OF YOUR OFFER.

THIS AMENDMENT HEREBY EXTENDS THE DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF

QUESTIONS TO JANUARY 6, 2021 AT 4:00 PM ET AND EXTENDS THE RECEIPT

OF PROPOSALS DUE DATE AND TIME TO JANUARY 15, 2021 AT 4:00 PM

ET. Please follow the instructions in Attachment 1, “eCPS Proposal Delivery Instructions” for submitting your proposals by the revised due date and time (January 15, 2021 4:00 PM ET).

This Amendment also answers the following questions related to RFP 75N91021R00007:

Question 1

In several places, e.g. Attachment 1, II.B.1, it states: “The page Limits for the Technical Proposals excludes any sample task order proposals and the proposal for Task Order #1 Kick-Off meeting. The total page count for Technical proposals for the Task Order and each Sample Task Orders shall not exceed 10 pages (per task order/sample task order).” Could you please clarify the difference between the two underlined items. Is the Kick-off meeting, and the second the sample TORFPS 2 – 5?

Answer to Question 1

Yes, that is correct. Task Order #1 is the Kick-Off Meeting (to be awarded at the time the IDIQ contracts are awarded), and the Sample Task Orders, are simply that, a sample for evaluation purposes and the Sample Task Orders will not be awarded at the time the IDIQ contracts are awarded. Please keep in mind that offerors are required to submit a response to all task orders and sample task orders.

Question 2

We are grateful for the extension of the deadline to January 4. However, our organization shutdowns any deadline before January 8, practically still means things need to be done by December 18 internally for review and routing. I suspect this holds for other academic submitters. If the intent was to give time beyond the holidays, please consider extending to January 8.

Answer to Question 2

An extension has been granted and the receipt of questions for this RFP is extended to January 6, 2021 at 4:00 PM ET and the proposal due date and time has been extended to January 15, 2021 at 4:00 PM ET.

Question 3

Is it possible to get an extension to the due date to January 18, 2021? Our organization will be closed between Christmas and New Years, returning January 4, which is the due date.

Answer to Question 3

An extension has been granted and the receipt of questions for this RFP is extended to January 6, 2021 at 4:00 PM ET and the proposal due date and time has been extended to January 15, 2021 at 4:00 PM ET.

Question 4

Pages 18-19 of the RFP likely should have been landscape as the deliverables table is cut off to the right. Can you re-send those pages so that all the text is readable?

Answer to Question 4

Yes, please see the below F.2. Deliverables tables.
