1. Page 88 of the RFP states that the information generated and maintained under this opportunity would be low data risk for Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability and overall risk level and includes no PII. However, the Information protection requirements listed in pages 82 to 87 of the RFP entail measures that are normally reserved for Moderate or High risk data. Is this a mistake? These requirements would not only be cost prohibitive, but would also serve to limit competition on this opportunity.
Answer: The selected vendor will be utilizing fixed based NIH owned IT equipment for data collection on this award. In the event that this would change to vendor owned equipment all relevant sections of the RFP would apply to IT and System Automation.
2. Would utilizing our labor rates from our GSA contract meet the RFP requirements for price reasonableness and certified costs? Answer: The offeror may provide their GSA labor rates but must provide the pricing schedule to meet the SOO.
3. There is an existing GSA Blanket Purchase Agreement for security services (75N98019A00076) that could facilitate this opportunity. Would the Government consider releasing this opportunity as a call order to be competed amongst the BPA awardees? Answer: Not at this time.
4. The SOO indicates that the work should be accomplished by a limited number of inspectors performing repeated inspections. We believe this will reduce inspector anonymity quickly. As the inspectors become more easily recognized by the guard forces being surveilled, the surveillance becomes much less effective and quickly becomes non-effective all together. The requirement to report negative surveillance findings within 30 minutes compounds this issue since it virtually guarantees loss of anonymity. Would the Government consider instead a plan that utilizes a larger number of inspectors with fewer inspections to maintain anonymity?
Answer: Anonymity is important to the largest extent possible. There is an option in the SOO to rotate personnel in the event that NIH determines the inspectors are no longer effective in this regard. The 30 minute reporting requirement can be met by calling or emailing the event description to the identified parties and has not been an issue to date. This award receives minimum inspection requirements from the parent contract and the assigned QAS, with input from the vendor team leader, sets the inspection schedule, frequency and intensity which is currently at the normal level. New and improved processes and procedures are encouraged to maintain a viable program.
5. Are the guard forces being surveilled armed? If yes, in which locations?
Answer: All current Guard posts affected by this award are unarmed. This is subject to change but these posts have been unarmed for 15 years.
