No. RFP Section RFP Pg.

Bidder’s Question DOJ Answer

144 N/A N/A We are a small business concern very well situated to compete on the DOJ Asset Forfeiture Investigative Support Services Program solicitation (Solicitation No. DJJ-14-JAFMS-R- 0002) but we are stuck in the security clearance bureaucracy and it appears, due the Fourth of July holiday period, we may not have sufficient time to have our interim TS facility clearance formally upgraded to permanent to compete on the solicitation. We have done everything within our power to meet the solicitation requirements, but we are now at the Government’s mercy. We have been told our facility clearance will be granted within the next few weeks, but that will likely be a few days too late. Will you please consider extending the deadline for the proposals by two weeks to give us a fair opportunity to compete?

The proposal deadline was already extended generously to allow as many businesses as possible to meet all of the RFP requirements. We can no longer extend the due date, unfortunately.

145 N/A N/A If you are unable to grant an extension in the proposal submittal date, because of the Federal holiday period, will you please consider changing the requirements to allow for an “interim” TS facility clearance at the proposal submittal deadline—with the requirement

Unfortunately, interim FCLs at the time of proposal submission will not be considered as fulfilling the RFP requirements.

DJJ-14-JAFMS-R-0002 Asset Forfeiture Investigative Support Services Attachment 6 that the permanent TS facility clearance be valid as of August 1, 2014?
