OFFICE OF THE CHIEF PROCUREMENT OFFICER

Reference: Questions in response to Solicitation Number DU100R-15-R-0002 Commercial Capital Assessment Projections Support

To: Prospective Offerors

The following questions and answers addressed below are hereby incorporated into this solicitation:

THE CLOSING DATE OF THIS SOLICITAITON IS WEDNESDAY

MARCH 9, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. E.S.T.

Q1. Does the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation under solicitation number DU100R15R0002 contain requirements similar to a current contract? If possible, please provide the current contract number. Or, is this a new requirement for the government?

R1. This is not a Combined Synopsis solicitation.

MFRA task orders: GS-10F-0382L Task Order No: C-OPC-23709 and OPIIS task order GS-10F-0382L C-OPC-23768. The requirements have similarities, expanded scope but not the same.

Q2. Format of Input Data - It appears that models, forecasts, and indicators will be built from FHA and REIS data. Will the data be provided in the form of a structured, 'tidy', relational data set, or should we expect significant extraction, and transformation of data from unstructured data sets?

R2. There are no structural data sets collected by FHA, only raw loan data. The first step of the process is to pull the raw data from the source systems into the OPIIS system. Then the very significant data transformation must take place.

Q3 HUD Excel Spreadsheet-How does the quarterly Excel file mentioned in section 3 relate to the objectives in sections 4 and 5?

R3. The Excel file or other file format acceptable to HUD, contains the performance data (defaults, claims, prepayments) that is the base case for the entire scenario and sensitivity analysis as well as the basis for the cash flow forecasting which is used in the budget, re-estimate and the loan liability guaranty referenced in the FHA Annual Management Report.

Q4 OPIIS reports- The sentence: "Provide reports and inquiry capability currently available in the OPIIS (Online Property Integrated Information Suite). " in Task Objectives 7 (pg. 8).... does this refer to the manner in which reports can be requested and generated in the CCAP and should be similar to the OPIIS OR does it mean that the CCAP will replace or duplicate all the reports currently provided by the OPIIS?

R4. The CCAP business tool should have a secure web portal for report access and have the same functionality as the SAS web report studio currently used as a front end to OPIIS. Not all reports in OPIIS will be necessarily duplicated in CCAP, as some reports may or may not be retired. Whatever solution is chosen should not have less functionality than the current SAS web report studio used for OPIIS.

Q5. Prepared vs. Machine-Generated Reports - Under section 4, objectives 2, 3, 5, require measurements and analyses to be provided, while objective 4 refers to "menu-driven policy analyses". It appears that the menu-driven analyses in objective 4 and 5(c) are to be automated reports that can be generated on-demand when the user specifies a desired range/criteria/crosstab (objective 4) or model assumptions (objective 5).

R5. Yes. The objective of these sections is to allow FHA to generate results based upon the assumptions plugged into the models.

Q6.Are these reports and/or the other reports in objectives 2, 3, 5, to be automated reports (i.e. crosstabs, charts and graphs) that can be generated on-demand by the user, or static prepared reports (written in prose/paragraph form with the typical report sections: executive summary, methodology, findings, etc. with the tables and charts forming the appendices) that can be retrieved on-demand by the user, or both? (Objective 7, stating that OPIIS reports are written in SAS suggests machine-generated reports are expected).

R6. The objective is to start with baseline, automated reports with supporting graphs and tables and a commentary describing the assumptions generating the baseline results. The automated reports will allow FHA to change the underlying assumptions generating new financial results. Financial results only will be generated automatically with updates to underlying support schedules and graphs, but written commentary is not expected to be updated as a result of FHA input into the models. There is a report describing the methodology that is reviewed by senior management and the Office of Management and Budget that is updated annually unless significant changes are made to the models mid-year.

Q4.Foreign Contractors - Portals is global company and we do 50% of our work overseas, therefore our partners are all over the world. For this contract, can we include one of our U.S. trained (Yale University), foreign-based simulation and analytical experts as a sub-contractor?

R4 See HUDAR 2452.239-70 Access to HUD Systems, FAR 52.209-10 Prohibition on Contracting with Inverted Domestic Corporations, and FAR 52.225-13 Restrictions on Certain Foreign Purchases. In particular, note that the HUDAR clause requires that all employees who access HUD systems must undergo a background investigation and be either U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or an individual lawfully admitted to the U.S. and permitted to work here. Notice also that under FAR 52.225-13 it matters which country a contractor or subcontractor is based in—procurement from certain countries is not permitted, as indicated therein. These limitations could prevent some contractors and subcontractors from satisfying the requirements of the solicitation.

Q5. What is the ‘small applicable portion of the MMI’ that would fall under CCAP? Are these multifamily loans?

R5. There are a small number of cooperative loans (less than 100 out of 13,000+ loans) that are modeled, but are included in the MMI fund.

Q6.In Section 2 item 3 (background), please describe the ‘transactions mandated by federal credit reform?

R6. The “transactions mandated by federal credit reform” are referring to the cash flow analysis methodologies mandated by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. For example, the final cash flows are formatted to conform to specific Federal Credit Reform act specifications.

Q7. In Section 2 item 3 (background), what information needs to be included in the quarterly Excel file the contractor must send to HUD so the MFRA and OPIIS model can be updated?

R7. The results of the performance models, the default, claim, prepayment rates as well as relevant underlying data such as the vacancy rate or economic data used to develop the forecasts.

Q8. Can the Government provide further information on what the MFRA and OPIIS models are? Relatedly, what are the ‘models which produce current ranking and ranking of all commercial properties’ and how those model outputs used?

R8. The Multifamily Risk of Default (MROD) model is used and the Integrated Risk Assessment Score (IRA) is used. The IRA score is currently populated by internal OPIIS datamart scripts and passed through to the iRems system. The score shows up as an OPIIS score in some iRems screens. Some asset managers in the field use the IRA score since it contains useful information including a composite of ten data elements within OPIIS including: MROD score, loan payment status in the Multifamily Delinquency and Default Report System (MDDR), overdue AFS submission, PASS score, health and safety, FASS compliance referrals, management conditions, management review rating, resident vulnerability, and the property’s Office of Multifamily Housing Assistance Restructuring (OMHAR) watch list status.

The Multifamily Risk of Default model as well as the probability of claim and prepayment models are logistic regression based models with a Monte Carlo based simulation of the economic and financial inputs. A few other models deployed are economic input or financial data input simulation models. These models are tailored to each FHA commercial risk category.

Q9. Does the Government have significant historical data on property dispositions for the types of properties that would fall under the Health Care program? If not, do you have access to another source of historical data on these types of loans?

R9. Yes, this data exists in a HUD source system.

Q10. Will the contractor have access to historical data on loans that are no longer active?

R10. Yes, the current OPIIS datamart has a historical history of terminated loans.

Q11. What are the capital ratio requirements for the GI/SRI?

R11. Currently, the capital requirements are net subsidy obligation requirements set by the Federal Credit Reform act legislation. The net subsidy obligation requirements start with the formula: Claims – Premiums – Recoveries = Receipts calculation by risk category and for the total commercial portfolio. The final requirements are set based upon a number of economic and policy directive factors and reviewed on a regular basis.

Q12. Can the Government provide a link to the Current OPIIS reports and data base dictionary mentioned on p8? The link listed does not work.

R12. The Current OPIIS reports and data base dictionary mentioned on p8 cannot be provided to anyone that has not been through the PIV process. Access to OPIIS reports are restricted to HUD personnel and contractors currently working for HUD in Risk Management. Both the reports and DED will be provided in the final solicitation.

Q13. Is there an equivalent to the actuarial review done for FHA’s residential portfolio for their commercial portfolio?

R13. No.

Q14. Does the contractor need to develop a model to produce volume forecasts? Or is a volume forecast already produced by FHA?

R14. No. Current volume forecasts are produced by the Program Offices. Volume forecasting may be included as an extension of risk modeling.

Q15. How frequently should the analysis of forecasts versus actual values be done?

R15. While reports comparing actual to forecast are reported regularly, the models are validated yearly with an analysis to determine the reason for the differences between actual and forecast and to decide how the models can be improved.

Q16. How are "out-of-tolerance" outcomes defined?

R16. There are no set tolerances for the performance forecasts. Significant or large trend and individual differentials noticed by senior management or the Office of Management and Budget are used to calibrate the models. Audit of the Liability for Loan Guaranty and re-estimate tolerances are established by the auditors and the Office of Management and Budget. Those tolerances are determined at the beginning of their review.

Q17. Section II; Background; Page 6: “The contractor provides a quarterly Excel file to HUD so the NFRA and OPPIS model can be updated” Please clarify the content of the Excel file that the contractor will provide. Please define and describe MFRA.

R17. MFRA is the Multifamily Risk Assessment team. The MFRA models are the logistic regression default, claim and prepayment models. The Excel file or other file format acceptable to FHA will provide the probability of default, probability of claim and probability of prepayment, updates and relevant economic/financial data that will be incorporated into the OPIIS reports and input into the cash flow models.

Q18. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 1; Page 6: “Analyze the content of appropriate FHA systems to identify the data elements needed to achieve each CCAP’s objective...” Please clarify how many FHA systems the contractor is expected to analyze and the content of these systems.

R18. Not able to provide an exact number of systems as requirements are constantly changing and some FHA legacy systems are currently being retired and new systems are being rolled out. One example is the DAP (Development Application Processing) system is being retired and the new ASAP system will replace it. It is estimated that a maximum of 10 systems could be accessed during any performance year.

Q19. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 1; Page 6: Does this task include reviewing data quality or is the expectation that data is generally appropriate to perform tasks 2 – 8?

R19.The contractor shall perform the data quality checks.

Q20. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 2; Page 6: Please define risk categories.

R20. Risk categories refer to the 18 different budget classifications for Multifamily, 232, and 242 programs according the post 1991 financing accounts and pre 1991liquidating accounts. Each commercial loan type is authorized by the section of the National Housing act. For example, Section 242 authorizes the insurance of Hospital loans. All of the loans for each authorized section are aggregated into its own “Risk Category” for budgetary purposes. All of the risk categories present unique risk characteristics.

Q21. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 3; Page 7: Is this an annual task only?

R21. Yes.

Q22. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 4; Page 7: Are statistical analyses/models expected to be performed using a preferred statistical software (e.g., SAS, R) or can the contractor decide what software to use?

R22. The contractor decides on what software they are going to used. Currently, the models are SAS based.

Q23. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 4; Page 7: How many reports will be created as part of the menu-driven policy analysis?

R23. Approximately 12 per year, but not limited to.

Q24. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 4; Page 7: Will the policy-driven menu analysis include the impact of macroeconomic variables? If yes, what will be the source of this data?

R24. Yes. The source of the data will be provided by HUD.

Q25. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 5; Page 7: How many times in a year are these policy analyses required?

R25. Policy analyses are rarely more than once or twice a year. There have been years where this type of instance did not occur. The primary drivers of this type of analysis are Congressional mandates to create a loan type or implement a program that will address a specific crisis or a policy issue directive from the Office of Management and Budget.

Q26. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 6; Page 7: Please confirm that this is an annual task.

R26. The baseline budget and re-estimate calculations are completed annually. But there may be multiple runs before the final numbers are approved by senior management. The additional policy proposal runs may occur multiple times throughout the year, but those are usually small tweaks to the assumptions. These small tweaks usually involve just changing an assumption or two, then letting the model run to determine the impact. All of these runs describe changing assumptions or inputs into the models and should not involve major programming changes. Some programming changes can be expected if the structural characteristics of the loans change.

Q27. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 8.c; Page 8: Please clarify the nature and content of these additional reports.

R27. While the exact nature and content cannot be anticipated, historical use of the existing reports has shown that the more the reports are reviewed ideas for additions or deletions to the reports to make them more useful are generated. From these discussions, often times new report ideas are generated.

Q28. Section II; Performance Objectives; Task 8.k; Page 9: Does special analyses include writing reports that describe the results and implications of those results? If yes, what is the typical length of these reports?

R28. The special analysis can vary depending on the nature of complexity of the analysis required to be performed. In the past, some analyses have been 3-5 pages, and others have been 30-50 pages.

Q29. We understand that CCAP combines the services currently provided under two separate contracts – MF Risk Assessment (MFRA) and OPIIS. These two contracts combined had a total contract value of approximately $16 million over five years. Does HUD anticipate similar level of services under the new CCAP contract that were previously provided under the MFRA and OPIIS contracts?

R 29. Information is not available.

Q30. Page 8, Task Objective 8: Is the contractor expected to provide web hosting and software to provide OPIIS reports and services. If yes, did the previous MFRA or OPIIS contracts include web hosting and software?

R30. The contractor is to provide the best solution. No.

Q31. What is HUD’s budget estimate for this contract for five years?

R31. Information is not available.

Q32. Page 58 (f) requires the contractor to submit a PWS, which is limited to 50 pages. However, the PWS is not mentioned in the Technical Discussion section on page 59. Further, the PWS is not referenced in the Evaluation Criteria listed on pages 63-66. Please clarify.

R32. See page 63 Section VII (2) FAR 52.212-2 Q33. Regarding the provision specified in Section VI - Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Bidders para. (12) FAR Clause 52.215-20 Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other than Certified Cost or Pricing Data Alternate IV (Oct 2010). This provision is not applicable under FAR Part 12, Commercial Items. Please clarify.

R33. See FAR 12.102 This requirement is in accordance with FAR Part 12and FAR Part 15.The contractor is required to provide a cost breakdown of the fixed price line items. See page 62 Price (13).

Q34. Will the contractor have access to historical data on loans that are no longer active?

R34. Yes.

Q35. Sec6 4.1 Are there existing ETL jobs that we can leverage? Can the government please provide a list?

R35. Existing ETL jobs will not be provided for CCAP. See Task Objective #1.

Q36. Pg6 4.1 If there are existing ETL jobs, what tools are being used? Can the government provide detail about these tools?

R36. See R35.

Q37. Pg6 4.1 Are there current software licenses that we can leverage? Can the government provide a complete list of existing licenses that can be leveraged?

R37. No existing licenses can be leveraged for CCAP and these licenses do not belong to the DHUD. List of existing licenses: SAS, SPSS, Oracle, Office Software (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint)

Q38. Pg6 4.1What interfaces currently exist to interact with the necessary data sources?

R38. ODBC Connections

Q39. Pg6 4.1 How many potential data sources are there, and in what format are the data currently stored? Please provide an inventory of source data systems that may be relevant to CCAP.

R39. See Objective 1. No more than 10 data sources are anticipated with CCAP.

Q40. Pg6 4.1 Are there consistent unique identifiers across the various data sources that can be used to match records?

R40. Yes

Q41. Pg6 4.1 Can an estimate be provided with regard to the amount of data that will need to be transferred to CCAP, either in terms of physical disk space size or number of records?

R41. The current modeling structure actually takes more space to run the models than in the data input transfer. This process has been reviewed and approved by senior management and other federal agencies. After logistic regressions are applied to determine the coefficients, the probability of default, claim, and prepayment for each loan is modeled, by quarter, through maturity through a Monte-Carlo simulation process. The current process has been managed with 500 gb of space. They data output from the simulation process that is fed into the cash flow models results in an output file that is around 50 columns by 100+ million rows.

Q42. Pg6 4.1 Does HUD have a preference for hosting the ETL portion to inside the HUD environment or at contractor environment?

R42. No preference at this time.

Q43. Pg6 4.1 What is the protocol for sending internal HUD data to external locations?

R43. Secure FTP site

Q44. Pg6 4.1 What is the process for establishing a firewall exception/rule?

R44. Requests through the GTR.

Q45. Pg8 4.8(a) What is the maximum number of concurrent users for this system?

R45. We do not know. The range of concurrent users for the OPIIS SAS portal is 0 – 750. We suspect that CCAP will encounter the same volatility in range.

Q46. Pg6 - 10 4 & 5 (Task and Technical Objectives In addition to ETL tools, what reporting and DB products are currently in use at HUD and can they be leveraged?

R46. No existing ETL tools can be leveraged.

Q47. Pg6 – 10 4 & 5 (Task and Technical Objectives)Is there a preferred technology stack used throughout HUD or within FHA? Please identify the preferred technology stacks within HUD and FHA.

R47. No preferred technology stack.

Q48. Pg9 4.8.j and k Reference the 12 adhoc requests per month and 6 special analyses per year: Could the government give historical data or clarify the expected level of effort expected to conduct these analyses?

R48. The ad hoc requests are unexpected projects. These projects may be generated from any number of Congressional, Presidential, other governmental agency or other important senior management directives. For example, a request for a special default/claim analysis for a proposed policy change may require adjusting existing models to produce expected default/claim rates. The smaller requests may just involve pulling data from existing model results or making small assumption changes and re-running the models. The larger, special analysis projects may involve research into how to model a specific change in for example, underwriting standards and the impact on the credit worthiness of the underlying loans.

Q49. Pg7 4.3 For first release of CCAP, does FHA expect the existing models to be implemented as is? If not, will the contractor be fully responsible for development and maintenance of the models? Please confirm the requirement.

R49. FHA expects but does not restrict the first release to apply the existing models. If new models are suggested, accepted and approved, the contractor will be fully responsible for development and maintenance of the models.

Q49. Pg74.4 Please clarify the requirement for levels of authorization among the user groups. Will an audit trail be required?

R49. Users must be PIV approved and HUD employees.

Q50. Pg74.4Will all users access the system from within the HUD network?

R50. Users can access from within or outside the HUD network.

Q51. Pg8 4.7Please clarify which reports are being stored to meet this task objective. Must user adhoc reports be stored?

R51. The data and interim transformations will not need to be stored. Depending upon the structure, storing the code might be appropriate for recreating the report with updated data at a later date. The results should be downloadable by the user for further analysis.

Q52. Attachments 1-3 Are all OPIIS reports in these attachments required to be provided in CCAPs? Can any of them be retired?

R52. We are expecting to see reports addressed in each vendor’s technical proposal.

Q53. Pg8 4.8 Does the government have a requirements document or solutions architecture for review?

R53. No. We expect deliverables for risk ranking models and the information required to manage the commercial property portfolios.

Q54. Pg8 4.8 Does the government require compliance with PPM v2 for this effort?

R54. If accessing HUD data in HUD systems to support the risk modeling aspect of CCAP the answer is yes.

Q55. 4.8.f Could the government clarify what it means by "the model changes are more service-provider driven … "?

R55. As required by the auditors, the contractor or service-provider will conduct an annual validation of the predicted to actual analysis of the modeled results. From this validation analysis, the contractor will suggest changes for improvements to the models. These servicer-driven or contractor suggestions for improvements will be reviewed by senior management and other governmental agencies before the suggested changes can be implemented.

Q56. Pg8 4.8.h Could the government clarify the requirement of this section?

R56. The objective in question is stating the vendor’s proposal should include staffing for the user support of CCAP models and tools.

Q57. Pg8 4.8.b Is the help desk to be staffed 24x7x365? If not, what is the service level requirement?

R57. Vendors are expected to offer pragmatic help desk proposals in their technical approach. HUD nationally is not open 24 hours per day.

Q58. Pg8 4.8 With regard to hardware required for this effort, does the government expect to procure the hardware under this contract, or is there a separate hardware vendor contract that will be leveraged?

R58. The contractor shall furnish all supplies and hardware.

Q59. Pg9 5.3 Given the contractor has no control over the quality of the data provided by HUD and other sources, certifying accuracy and completeness would be difficult at best. Can the government clarify what is meant by this requirement?

R59. For HUD data, the contactor is expected to test for outliers and set standards for data quality. The contractor is not expected to validate the data provided by acceptable vendors. The contractor is expected to review current literature to insure that the models conform to current best practices.

Q60. Pg8 4.8.c Please clarify the expected number of new reports to be developed beyond the base year.

R60. The exact number cannot be determined. Managing the $100+ billion portfolio is an evolving process. Legislative changes, or as new or a combination of factors that impact the portfolio become important, the reports are adjusted to monitor these factors.

Q615. Pg8 4.8 Could the government clarify if scope of Task Objectives 2, 4, and 5 is inclusive of 12 new reports in base year and 6 special analyses per year? Please provide an estimate of any additional reports that would be required.

R61. The expectation is that the scope of the new reports, 12 New Reports (pg. 8, 8(c)) and the six Special Analysis (p.9, 8(k)) will encompass Task Objectives 2 and 5. Since the menu driven reports described in Task Objective 4 are expected to be generated by FHA staff with minimal or no assistance from the contractors on the interpretation of the results, the menu-driven reports are not counted. The additional reports generated by FHA staff are expected to address changes in the input assumptions to analyze actual or potential policy proposals. Additional reports will be generated for sensitivity analysis in conformance with audit requirements. After the FHA staff becomes familiar with the menu and the report results, these types of analysis should not require contractor involvement.

Q62 Pg10 6.2 What are the disaster recovery requirements, such as Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO)?

R62. Compliant with OCIO guidelines around HUD source systems.

Q63. Is the system required to integrate with internally authenticated HUD accounts, or can an external authentication process be implemented? If external, are there any additional security requirements surrounding user authentication?

R63. External authenticity process is acceptable for access to models and reports external to HUD. If internal models to HUD use the user authenticity must comply with OCIO and Federal guidelines.

Q64. Pgs 49 and 57 Section VI On page 49 the government asks for a 30 day period to hold pricing firm. Page 57 requires acknowledgement of a 90 day acceptance period. Can the government please clarify?

R64. The solicitation states unless another time period is specified in the addendum and the addendum states 90 days.

Q65. Pg5 Section II In the Introduction, FHA states that CCAP will provide an “internal view”. Given this statement, can FHA confirm whether the outcome of Performance Objective 3 is to generate estimates that are used in FHA’s audited financial statements, or an internal management view of the financial statements?

R65. Objective 3 estimates will be used in the FHA audited Annual Management Report.

Q66. Pg6 Section II.3 FHA implies that it currently subscribes to REIS. What other external sources of commercial real estate data does FHA currently have access to?

R66. FHA also has access to Moody’s quarterly economic data and is in the process of securing a Bloomberg terminal.

Q67. pg62 (13) Price The section that starts “Price submissions shall be accompanied by an associated price breakdown worksheet that delineates how the quoted prices were derived…..” - does the government require a labor category buildup to support the CLIN pricing (similar to what would be provided for a traditional Time and Materials price proposal)? Or does a Level of Effort breakout per labor category per CLIN satisfy this requirement? Please clarify.

R67. Please provide a cost breakdown of each contract line item, that show how you came up with the total fixed price.

Q68. Regarding the Past Performance Information Chart, the second bullet states that if a subcontractor is performing “more than 20% of the contract value, the offeror shall submit a separate chart and narrative described for past performance”. Is this statement requiring the offeror to submit 5 past performance references for the subcontractor, in addition to 5 from the offeror? Please clarify. How many past performance references can come from the subcontractor?

R68. The same applies to the sub that is applicable to the prime contractor.

Q69. The NAICS code for this opportunity as stated in the RFI and on FBO.gov is 522390. However, another NAICS code is listed on the solicitation itself. The project is more appropriately described by NAICS code 522 -- Credit Intermediation and Related Activities/522390 -- Other Activities Related to Credit Intermediation. We request that HUD change the NAICS code on the solicitation to 522390.

R69. Market Research indicates NAICS Code, 241611.

Q70. Pg. 57: Solicitation states that offerors must organize their technical proposal to follow the technical evaluation criteria in Section”. Please provide the reference to the correct section.

R70. See Section VII, page 63.

Q71. Is HUD comfortable with CCAP being a cloud-based solution that would reside outside the HUD firewall?

R71. Yes.

Q72. What are the IT security requirements for CCAP?

R72. The current OPIIS DataMart.

Q73. Other than the “6 special analyses” described in paragraph k, at the top of page 9, does HUD expect that other ad hoc analyses will be required under CCAP in the first year of the contract?

R73. Yes. The number and timing of the ad-hoc analysis requests cannot be estimated. Any number of policy proposals, Congressional inquiries, or significant events such as a hurricane could generate the need for an ad-hoc analysis.

Q74. Will staff be required to conduct any analysis on-site at HUD, or is all analysis expected to occur on the contractor’s site?

R74. Yes but to some limited extent. Special presentations to FHA senior management, other governmental agencies, and auditors may require Contractor staff to be on-site not only to answer technical questions but to conduct analysis to respond to special requests.

Q75. How many full-time staff people are serving on the incumbent contracts that comprise CCAP.

R76. Information not available

Q77. Who is the incumbent contractor that currently supports the OPIIS system?

R77. See R1 TAC Technologies

Q78. Ms. Toledo-Gaskins, do you anticipate an extension of time for the CCAP RFP.

R78. Yes

Q79. I saw the extension to Feb. 25 for this RFP. The notice states that no additional questions are accepted. Sorry - does this mean that there were questions, and if so, will there be a document that comes out soon listing the questions and answers from HUD for these, or does this mean that there were no questions. Thanks - just trying to figure out what to look for.

R79. Responses to Question were due February, 2016. No other question is being accepted at this time. Q&R’S are being posted herein.

Q80. I’m reaching out to you in regards to the HUD CCAP Q&A to hopefully get a better idea as to when you think the answers to questions may be released. Our team has been working diligently on a response but had some key questions that are important to how we structure our PWS and response.

R80 See 79

Q81. Ms. Lee, do you anticipate an extension of time for the CCAP proposal submission.

Q81. Proposal due date is March 9, 2016.

Q82. We had responded to the RFI for CCAP. When do you anticipate release of the CCAP RFP?

R82. Solicitation posted in February.

Q83. What are the IT security requirements for CCAP?

R83. Access to the CCAP system would be administered by the contractor in a secure system. Access would be restricted to HUD personnel or contractors working on the CCAP system.

Q84. Will staff be required to conduct any analysis on-site at HUD, or is all analysis expected to occur on the contractor’s site?

R84. Work can be performed off site.

Q85. Who is the incumbent contractor that currently supports the OPIIS system?

R85.See R1 TAC Technology
