This document is an Official Government Responses file containing clarifications issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration's Office of Acquisition Management regarding a Gunsmith Support Services solicitation.
Solicitation Details:
- Solicitation Number: 15DDHQ26Q00000098
- Amendment: A00001
- Issue Date: September 3, 2026
- Original Closing Date: September 17, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST
- Revised Closing Date: September 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST
- Questions Due: September 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST
Key Clarifications:
The government confirmed that vendors are not required to propose exactly 5,852 hours per year, as this represents only an estimated historical baseline for planning and pricing purposes combining Service and Standing Work. Similarly, no specific personnel headcount is mandated; contractors must determine appropriate staffing to meet Performance Work Statement tasks in accordance with FAR Part 12 performance-based guidelines. Regarding submission requirements, Factor 3 (Past Performance) has been excluded from the 30-page limit per Amendment A00001, though standard formatting requirements of 1-inch margins, Times New Roman 11-point font, and double-spacing apply across all sections including the Past Performance section.

Question 2: Reference page 23. Can the government confirm the anticipated 5,852 hours per year indicates the need for 3 personnel?

PWS.
