interested in receiving two quotes; one for durations over 1-year and one for those less than

1-year?

The A27 is amended as follows:

From: At this time we do not know what positions will be sent to us by our customers. The positions historically have been for different time frames. That is why this contract is an

Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity, because these things are not known at this time. These types of questions would be discussed when the task order pricing letter is sent to the awardee.

The cost evaluation on this solicitation is only evaluating Offerors markup/overhead rate that would be put on top of the position¿s pay rate that is determined by the FS wages or the

Service Wages

To: At this time we do not know what positions are needed by our customers. The positions historically have been for different time frames.

That is why this contract is an Indefinite

Delivery Indefinite Quantity, because these things are not known at this time.

As a result of the Government not knowing what positions will be requested during the life of the contract we cannot confirm if any positions would last past a one-year timeframe. Offerors must provide their markup/overhead rate as part of their quotation package. This markup/overhead rate is the only cost we pay the contractor in addition to the applicable wages and H&W rate on the DOL SCA and FS Wage

Determination. The Offerors will have to take into consideration the items that are not known at this time when making a business decision in calculating their markup/overhead rate.
