Attachment 5. Question and Answer Form.docx

This is a Questions & Answers Matrix template document designed to record inquiries and government responses during a federal procurement process. The form is structured to capture questions or comments submitted by prospective offerors, along with corresponding government responses, and tracks whether responses resulted in changes to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) or other solicitation documents. Each entry includes fields for the solicitation reference number, the question or comment itself, the government's response, an indicator of whether a PWS change occurred, and a reference to which attachment or solicitation section was affected. The template provides example entries demonstrating proper formatting and documentation procedures, such as confirming submission requirements and referencing relevant attachments like pricing templates or PWS paragraphs. This document serves as an administrative tool for maintaining transparency and creating an audit trail during the solicitation period, ensuring that all clarifications and modifications to the procurement requirements are properly documented and communicated to all prospective offerors before the response deadline.
