About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document addressing vendor inquiries related to a federal contract opportunity for services in Jordan.
The document establishes operational baseline parameters for the contract: work occurs Sunday through Thursday (5 days/week), aligning with CENTCOM/ASG-Jordan host-nation operational tempo, with Friday and Saturday as the standard theater weekend. Daily work hours are set at 8 hours per day (40 hours per week), exclusive of uncompensated meal breaks, establishing a standard civilian non-personal service baseline. Annual productive hours are estimated at approximately 1,920 hours per year based on a standard 1.0 FTE model using a 2,087 gross hour calendar, enabling standardized ROM comparison for the Independent Government Cost Estimate. The contract will observe 11 U.S. Federal Holidays, with coordination of local host-nation holidays to be managed by the Contracting Officer's Representative in the final Performance Work Statement to prevent duplicate billing or staffing ambiguity. The submittal deadline for vendor responses is 4 November 2026 at 1500 Jordan Time, with this Q&A response provided immediately to ensure fair exchange and open market research participation under FAR 15.201(f).
