ATTACHMENT X

SERVICE AREA GEOGRAPHIC (SAG)

1. Purpose and Evaluation Relationship

This attachment records the Service Area Geographic (SAGs) for which the Offeror seeks BPA consideration and the substantiated capability supporting each selection. Complete this attachment once and cross-reference it from Volumes I-A and I-B.

Under Factor 1, the Government will evaluate the soundness of the proposed coverage and deployment methodology and the resulting operational risk. Under Factor 2, the Government will evaluate existing staffing depth, recruiting and subcontracting resources, workforce controls, continuity, and surge capacity. Evaluation will be conducted only as stated in Section M.

A SAG selection requests evaluation consideration. It does not guarantee a BPA, a BPA call order, exclusive coverage, a minimum quantity, or future workload.

2. Definitions

Term Definition

Existing capability Resources, relationships, and operating processes in place and available as of the quotation due date. Future recruiting plans shall be identified separately.

Qualified personnel Personnel meeting the PWS and proposed service/category qualifications, subject to order-specific suitability, clearance, credentialing, or access requirements.

6. Supporting Narrative for Each Proposed SAG

Provide no more than two narrative pages for each proposed SAG. Use the sequence below and cross-reference supporting information elsewhere in the quotation.

Existing recruiting channels, time-to-fill experience, qualification validation, scarce-skill sourcing, and access to rural, Tribal, territorial, or otherwise difficult-to-staff locations.

Active subcontracting resources, proposed roles, geographic reach, integration, oversight, and any material conditions on availability.

Relevant regional experience during the five years preceding the quotation due date. Cross-reference Volume II rather than duplicating the full past-performance narrative.

Routine and surge capacity, activation and mobilization assumptions, competing commitments, travel/deployment approach, and continuity for recurring assignments.

SAG-specific risks, constraints, dependencies, and mitigations, including technology, transportation, local availability, clearance/access, severe weather, and simultaneous demand.
