A. Personnel Qualifications

The following paragraph sets forth the Government’s minimum education, certifications (if required) experience, and security clearances deemed necessary to perform the tasks set forth in the Statement of Work. The Contractor should be capable of providing the personnel according to the requirements in the labor categories listed in Table 2 and Table 3.

B. Key Personnel

Personnel designated as “key” in Table 2 shall be available for work efforts on the first day after contract award. Furthermore, key personnel should possess the indicated clearance at the time of contract award and are subject to the provisions listed in Section H-2 of the solicitation. All proposed personnel should be available with favorably adjudicated investigations and final DoD granted personnel security clearances required for the performance of the contract. Table 2 states the Government’s minimum qualification levels for key personnel. In conjunction with Table 1, Offerors may only move ‘upward’ from the Government’s stated minimum qualification levels. For example, if the minimum qualifications require a Bachelor’s Degree and 10 years of experience for a Level IV – Senior position, Offerors may only substitute personnel with a Master’s Degree and eight years of experience or a PhD and five years of experience. An Offeror would not be able to substitute personnel with High School Diploma/GED and 15 years of experience in this example.

C. Non-Key Personnel

The Government expects the Contractor will make a good faith effort to assign non-key personnel, listed in Table 3, to this effort that meet the minimum desired qualifications. The Government is not requesting resumes for these positions and resumes should not be provided. The desired qualifications are provided to assist the Contractor from a cost estimating standpoint.
