About this file

This document contains questions and answers related to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Chapel Support Services. The key details are:

The RFP is for chapel support services including Protestant and Catholic religious education coordinators, musicians, and an administrative assistant. The performance work statement (PWS) indicates a requirement for 176 total units per year for Protestant musicians and 206 units per year for Catholic musicians, though the CLIN structure shows 310 and 231 units respectively for a full year. The Government clarified that the lower unit counts are for the initial partial year to adjust the period of performance dates.

The evaluation criteria for "scope" relevancy is ambiguous, allowing for any labor category to be included. The Government declined a proposed change to more clearly define "very relevant" scope as including staffing of at least six positions for 12 months. The incumbent contractor is Newpoint Management, LLC, and the choir size is less than 15 individuals. The Government holds the CCLI license for music sheets used in the chapels. The Catholic mass schedule is Sunday at 0900 and 1600 plus holy days of obligation.

QUESTION ANSWER

1) The requirements for “units” are ambiguous. The PWS states that for all services and rehearsals combined, the...

• Protestant Musician(s) must provide 176 total units per year (PWS Para 1.4.2.11), but the CLIN structure indicates the requirement for a full-year is 310 units.

• Catholic Musician(s) must provide 206 total units per year (PWS Para 1.5.2.13), but the CLIN structure indicates the requirement for a full-year is 231 units.

Please clarify the correct “units” required for each labor category.

176/206 units are for the initial partial year to adjust the POP dates. 310/231 units are for a full year.

2) The Evaluation criteria for “scope” are ambiguous. The current wording allows for “scope” to include any labor category.

Would the Government consider and amend the following proposed changes in red to the FAR 212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items?

The Government will use the following relevancy definitions when assessing recent contracts: (Example) VERY RELEVANT. Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. To be defined as Very Relevant, the effort shall have included the below services:

1) Staffed at least six (6) positions for 12 months, or longer, at one (1) location for the labor categories identified in this Solicitation.

And continued through the rest of RELEVANCY ratings.

This change will not be implemented.

8) What is the schedule of the Catholic masses? Sunday Mass 0900 and 1600 plus holy days of obligation.

9) Kindly provide us with the old PWS if any? The old PWS does not pertain to this requirement. Only the PWS posted along with this solicitation.
