The following is the list of written questions and responses.

Thank you.

Questions:

1. Is Grant Thornton able to bid on this procurement?

Yes, Grant Thornton is able to bid on the procurement.

2. Also, is the FISMA no longer being conducted? If it is being conducted, by whom?

The agency is conducting a separate RFQ for the FISMA requirements which closes at 6:00 pm on March 12, 2016. For a copy of the RFQ please email myorkman@usccr.gov.

3. Has a contractor performed similar work to this for the government in the past? If available, please provide the incumbent contract number. If you are unable to provide a contract number, is it safe to assume this is a new requirement for the government?

The agency has performed similar work in FY 2015. The contract number was CR50-0104.

4. Also, can you please provide information as to why Grant Thornton is not able to fulfill its contract from 2014?

Due to changes in the agency’s needs and requirements we believe the current contract no longer meets our needs.

5. Please clarify when the proposals are due. I cannot locate the information in the Solicitation document that I received..

Proposals are due 12 noon on April 19th.

6. I understand that Grant Thornton conducted the Financial Statement Audit for FY15. I was hoping that you could provide the value of that contract?

The value of the contract was $82,679.47.

7. Our managing partner is requesting that I obtain the prior year’s audit report. Is it possible for you to forward that to us as well?

A copy of the prior year’s audit is available on our website at www.usccr.gov.
