Questionnaire (See Page 2):

Questions:

1. The Government intends to award a contract that limits subcontracting of Standards Services, (i.e. labor and all cost associated.) Does the prospective contractor have the resources to stand-up and fully perform this contract requirement without partnering agreements?

For questions 2 and 3 interested offerors must provide a description of their experience in providing the requested services, to include: contract numbers, performance period, contract value, and customer name.

2. Has the prospective contractor performed local guard services, under the NAICS code 561612-Security Guards and Patrol Services, in Portugal?

3. Does the prospective contractor have experience in Portugal assuming performance of contracted security services/operations from another contract? If so, please explain.

4. Does the prospective contractor currently possess active licenses and/or permits to perform local guard services in Portugal?

5. Can the prospective contractor obtain a security license Portugal under your legal business name or joint venture entity name?

6. Are there any areas in the DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS) and/or Special Contract Requirements that present excessive cost, schedule, or performance risks? If so, please provide detailed information and suggested recommendations to eliminate, reduce or mitigate the risks.

7. Does the prospective contractor have any comments/feedback on the DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS) and/or Special Contract Requirements? Interested offerors are highly encouraged to provide comments/feedback on the DRAFT documents.

8. What challenges has your company experienced when applying for new or renewal licenses and permits? What challenges do you anticipate in the future?

9. To do business with the United States Government, companies must have an active registration in the System of Award Management (SAM.gov) at the time of proposals, time of award and throughout performance. Does your company have an active account in SAM? If not, would you need any guidance on registering in SAM?

10 Has your company ever performed a service contract for the U.S. government? If so, please describe the contract services provided and the U.S. government agency.

11. The U.S. government only pays for services provided. That means that the contractor provides the services, then prepares the invoice, the U.S. government makes payment approximately 30 days after a proper invoice is presented for payment. This means that the contractor will not see the cash flow from the services provided between 30 and 60 days after the services are provided. Can your company sustain that kind of restricted cash flow?

12. What is the typical shift length (e.g., 8 hours per shift, 12 hours per shift, etc.)
