Responses to Questions

1. Section 5.7 Task 7: We are very experienced with modeling, per the description in the solicitation. How many models would you expect the Contractor to build over a one year period?

The PWS task for data modeling has been removed; however, modeling capabilities shall still be included in the offeror’s proposal. See amendment 0001.

2. The contractor has 10 days to support additional reporting requests. However, is the Contractor required to support any internal or external audits?

The contractor is required to cooperate as requested in information security audits, OCC audits, Government Accountability Office (GAO), Inspector General (IG) audits and investigations or any other audits required by law, regulation, or policy. If the contractor is a third party service provider to financial institutions, interagency examination audits may be conducted in accordance with applicable regulations. The OCC does not anticipate the contractor will be required to participate in any other type of internal or external audit under execution of this contract.

3. OCC is asking that the pricing for the data include not only the data elements currently requested in the RFP (Attachments 1 and 2) but also any other future data elements and portfolios for which the monthly analysis/reports need to be generated. We need more direction on how potentially how many extra elements/portfolios they may want to add. Plus will Contractor have an opportunity to discuss additional extra elements/portfolios requested by OCC prior to implementation?

Under the current contract spanning a 3 year period, the OCC has requested 13 additional definitions for elements to be collected. All 13 definitions were added during the first month of the contract.
