(Web-Based Interface Services) RFQ Number: DOL-OIG-14-Q-0007 (Proposals Due: 14 August 2014, 3:00 p.m. EST)

Q.1 We do have some additional questions regarding this solicitation that we respectfully submit for your consideration:

1. 3.2 Database Access Requirements and Attachment 2: Pricing Sheet. In section 3.2, the solicitation outlines three different pricing methods that DOL is interested in. Attachment 2 provides a pricing sheet that addresses pricing from a purely transactional basis. It doesn’t take into consideration the three pricing methods addressed in the solicitation.

To ensure that DOL is provided with the pricing information that it requires, will DOL modify Attachment 2 to accurately reflect the three pricing methods DOL asks for in the solicitation? Or, rather than modifying Attachment 2, would DOL consider striking Attachment 2 and allowing offerors to provide DOL with pricing that addresses the pricing methods outlined in the solicitation?

A.1 Remove Attachment 2 in its entirety.

Q.2 Past Performance: Clarification Question. In response to our initial question regarding past performance and references, DOL responded with language that does not appear in any of the four documents that were provided as part of the FBO posting (Attachments 1 - 4). Can DOL please advise as to where the language provided in the answer came from? Is it possible that the FBO posting is incomplete? If so, can DOL please provide offerors with the complete solicitation package?
