Export Business Development Events (BDE) Global _ 83310126Q1BDE _ QandA - Amendment A00002 # Questions Answers

2.01 Will EXIM extend the due / closing date to this solicitation? Yes. EXIM is extending the due / closing date to: September 2, 2026 (Tuesday), 5:00PM EDT

2.02 The SOR identifies UNGA 80 as a flagship event, but UNGA 80 occurred in 2025, and UNGA 81's General Debate concludes before the September 30, 2026 base-period start date. Should offerors propose a subsequent UNGA session or a COR-approved equivalent event occurring within the authorized period of performance?

Offeror is to propose any subsequent annual United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) or other UNGA sessions for bidding purposes.

2.03 Does the four-page limit for the Past Performance

Questionnaire apply separately to each questionnaire or cumulatively to all past-performance examples? May multiple questionnaires be submitted as separate files?

Cumulative past-performance within the last 3-years.

EXHIBIT1-PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE.docx is one page, therefore, EXIM does not want more that four (4) questionnaires submitted.

2.04 Does "by-monthly" Insights Brief mean one brief every two months — six annually — or two briefs each month?

Statement of Requirements (SOR) identifying "Insights Brief" per,

4.3 Digital Resources & Ongoing Access

• Production and distribution of a bi-monthly EXIM + Contractor (Partner) Insights Brief to sustain engagement between convenings.

5. Deliverables

• EXIM + Contractor (Partner) Insights Brief.

"'Insights Brief' bi-monthly", for EXIM means once every two-months or six meetings annually.

2.05 Are the eight country investor roadshows required during each annual performance period or across the entire base-and-option period?

"Country Investor Roadshow(s) in Africa, Latin America, Europe and Middle East" or as in the Pricing Sheet, "In-Person Events" are to a total of eight (8) annually per Performance Period IAW Section 3. Key Convenings & Engagement Opportunities of the SOR, page 11.

2.06 In the pricing workbook, does "FFP per line item per person per event" require the unit price to be multiplied by the number of contractor personnel or participants, or should the entered amount represent the total firm-fixed price for one event?

"FFP per line item per person per event" within the pricing workbook means per ONE (1) EXIM participant per event (NOT contractors*) offeror is able to provide to meet the Statement of Requirements (SOR) because the number of EXIM participants is unknown at this time.

*Contractor expenses as participants are to be represented by the fully burdened Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) proposed.

2.07.1 Whose transportation and hotel expenses should be included in the regional "all transportation and hotel paid" line items?

Each EXIM participant as part of the Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) for CLINs 2, 5, 8, 11, and 14. Reference response to 2.06 above.

PAGE 5 OF 6 83310126Q1BDEA00002

2.07.2 [H]ow should those [transportation and hotel] costs be distinguished from the separate ODC Travel line?

CLIN ODC 1 per NOTE1: Travel estimate is to be for three (3) (events) in 1-year for 2 people each time.

Use of CLIN ODC 1, would be something above and beyond the FFP CLINs identified in the 2.07.1 response.

2.08 Should the quantity for the "Deliverables" line equal the total number of main and offshoot events proposed in the pricing workbook?

Quantity for the Deliverables have been updated to "1" as applicable for all CLINs.

2.09 The option-period total formulas exclude the Optional CLIN for Other Anticipated Costs, while the base-period formula includes it. May offerors correct those formulas, or should the government-issued formulas remain unchanged?

Cells G35, G36, J35, J36, M35, M36, P35, P36, S35, and S36 formulas have been updated with a reminder below offeror to check totals.

2.10 There is an ongoing government-wide contract consolidation effort that encourages agencies to leverage existing contract vehicles whenever practical. As I reviewed the solicitation, I noted several areas that align with other agency's export activities.

Will the Export Business Development Events (Export BDE) Global procurement award allow participation by other federal agencies with complementary missions?

Yes. Other interested agency(ies) remain responsible for funding their own requirements.

An interested agency first has to set up an Interagency Agreement (IAA) with EXIM and work with the Export BDE Global Contracting Officer (CO) before being allowed to use this procurement vehicle.

Of course, if there is no interest from other agencies, the provision for other agencies being able to utilize this procurement vehicle would simply go unused.
