| Description of Change |
| Technical/ Contractual |
3d
| Section 3d says “vendor shall provide written analyses and commentary of significant and emerging economic or financial trends on an as needed basis.” This is a little too open ended. |
| “On an as needed basis” is hereby removed. These data shall be provided as determined by the contractor. |
| Yes |
| Section 2.0 Scope, 3. Written Analysis, d. amended to remove “on an as needed basis” |

| Pg 20 11.0 b |
| Our proposal is for COTS off the shelf services. We do not expect to receive information from OCC. It would be a burden for our 130 employees who may be in touch with OCC to sign an NDA. |
| The NDA requirement is removed since the OCC is not sharing any data. |
| Yes |
| NDA requirement is removed. |
| Contractual |
Attachment 4
| Our proposal is for COTS off the shelf services. Perhaps the QASP would be better suited to custom consulting work. |
| The QASP is an internal OCC document of how the government may monitor/surveil contractor quality as it related to deliverables and overall contractor performance. It will not be attached to the contract. |
| No |
| N/A |
| Contractual |
2.4
| The acceptable quality level is submitted on time 100% of the time. There is no definition of on time. We are constrained by our data sources and deliver as quickly as is reasonably feasible once we have the data. |
| Section 2.4 PRS amended in its entirety |
| Yes |
| Section 2.4 PRS amended in its entirety |
| Technical |
How many MSAs are you expecting to receive output for? Would there be scope within the contract for us to develop additional MSA models which we don’t currently have?
| Minimum MSAs required are the largest 120 MSAs by current population. A greater number of reported MSAs will benefit in the evaluation. Regarding the question about developing more MSAs during the reporting period, the Contractor will be evaluated based on the MSAs it provides at the time of proposal submission, not what could potentially be provided in the future. |
| Yes |
| Section 1.0 Background amended to require a minimum of 120 MSAs |
| Technical |
| What variable coverage are you expecting to receive at the national, state and MSA level? |
| There is no minimum requirement, as this is difficult to define. A greater number of reported variables will benefit in the evaluation. |
| No |
Technical
| Can you give us an indication of the length of the written reports you would like to receive on a monthly basis? As you are looking for quarterly forecasts, what do you expect the forecast reports to cover on the off-forecast months? Should they focus on recent developments/new historical data? |
| The vendor with more comprehensive written analysis will benefit in the evaluation while those less comprehensive will not. The requirement for forecast is now separate from the written analysis. |
| Yes |
| Section 2.0 Scope , 3. Written Analysis amended to remove forecasts |
