Summary of Changes

Questions and Answers

Q1: Will the price per hour ($46.08) be the deciding factor for the selection of this position (LPTA)?

MCC Response: This is not an LPTA procurement. Please refer to Section M – Evaluation Factors for Award, which states that the following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Submission of all required documentation (Section C.8 - Required Documentation);

2) Offeror's qualifications in accordance with Section C.7 - Qualifications (required and desired);

3) Offeror's performance in a discussion/interview with MCC; and

4) Proposed price (hourly rate).

Section M also states that factors 1-3, when combined, are significantly more important than Factor 4 (price).

Q2: Will the selected candidate be allowed to work from home or a contractor office?

MCC Response: As stated in Section C Place of Performance, the principal place of performance is Washington DC and/or PSC's home of record. Candidates permanently residing outside of the Washington, DC metropolitan area may require a waiver for approval of remote working arrangements.

Q3: Is there a set-aside or preference for a Service Disabled Vet?

MCC Response: No, as noted in Section 10 of the SF 1449 (RFQ cover page) this is an unrestricted acquisition and does not have a set-aside or preference for service-disabled veterans.

Q4: Will there be multiple awards for this one position?

MCC Response: As stated in Section C, multiple awards may result from this solicitation.

Q5: If a candidate has a TS security clearance, will the price per hour be raised (Band C4) without a LPTA selection?

MCC Response: No, as stated in Question 1 above – this is not an LPTA procurement. Further, as stated in Section 9 Compensation "A salary above Pay Band 05 will not be entertained or negotiated."

Additionally, the RFQ does not include a pay band C4. Please refer to clauses MCC 52.237-71 –

Personal Services – Total Compensation Ceiling and MCC 52.237-73 – Advancement Ladders for Personal Services Contracts under Section H of the solicitation.

Q6: If travel is required, will MCC issue proper documents, especially international travel?

95332423Q00210001

MCC Response: It is unclear what is meant by proper documents in the case of international travel. The PSC will be subject to the Federal Travel Regulations and MCC travel policies and procedures to the same extent as MCC direct-hire employees. Additionally, MCC will work closely with the successful awardee regarding all travel related matters.

Q7: First page is a form that requests the Offeror to complete blocks 12, 17 23, 24 and 30. Can you please explain.

MCC Response: Offerors are not required to submit SF 1449 (the first page of the solicitation) as part of the quotation. Please refer to Section 8. Required Documentation, on page 16 of the solicitation, for a list of required documents.

- Issue answers to questions received from interested offerors;

- Include Attachment J3 - Frequently Asked Questions.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
