| 2 | N/A | N/A | N/A | What is the incumbent contract award ID number? | GS00Q14OADS119 FA445218F0097 is the incumbent contract award ID number. | |
| 3 | Attachment 2 Instructions to Offerors & Basis of Award | 12 | Factor 2 Tech Approach, | |||
| Subfactor 2.2 | Subfactor 2.2 - Circuit Management Activities Requirements notes providing your company's approach to perform circuit management activities and notes PWS Paragraph 3.3. Paragraph 3.3 is titled "EACN Program Management Support." |
| Can the customer please confirm they would like vendors to just speak to the PWS 3.3 requirements? | The Government wants vendors to provide their company's approach to perform circuit management activities noted within PWS paragraph 3.3. "Responsible for overall circuit management activities, including identifying requirements, ordering circuits, monitoring and maintaining circuit plans, and coordinating with internal and external organizations to establish new circuits and troubleshoot problems with existing circuits" | |||
| 4 | Attachment 2 Instructions to Offerors & Basis of Award | 12 | Factor 2 Tech Approach, | |
| Subfactor 2.4 | Subfactor 2.4 - Program Management/Acquisition Support - Submittal Requirements notes providing your company's approach to performing program management/acquisition support activities and notes PWS Paragraphs 3.1.1, 3.2.1, 3.3, and 3.4. These PWS Paragraphs are covered in Sub-factors 2.1- 2.2. |
| Will the Government please confirm that Subfactor 2.4 should only focus on PWS Paragraph 3.4? | PWS paragraph 3.4. is not the only focus. The Government wants vendors to provide their company's approach to perform program management/acquisition support activities and notes identified in PWS paragraphs 3.1.1, 3.2.1, 3.3, and 3.4. PWS paras 3.1.1. and 3.2.1. state, “Perform basic program management/acquisition support activities including, but not limited to, reviewing, editing, and evaluating program requirements for completeness and accuracy, as well as tracking and reporting project statuses” in support of OSA/EA.

| 5 | Attachment 2 Instructions to Offerors & Basis of Award | 2 | Item G, | |
| Volume Set up | Per the Volume Outlines provided, The Factor 2 Technical Approach page allocations are prescribed. |
| Will the Government consider not prescribing page count across the Subfactors and leave the Volume simply at 20 pages total? This allows a bit more flexibility as it pertains to ability to speak to all requirements of PWS Paragraphs with a greater amount of sub-elements. | 20 pages total to provide technical approach to specifically sub-factors 2.1., 2.2., 2.3 and 2.4 is acceptable. | ||||
| 6 | Attachment 2 ITO | 3 | G (Table) | There are many references in the Instructions that indicate that Volume IV Factor 3: Staffing Approach shall be submitted utilizing Attachment 7 only. |
However, there are also requirements that seem to require written narrative. For example, page 5 paragraph (3) it reads, "At a minimum, the Offeror’s Staffing Approach Volume should demonstrate the Offeror’s approach in meeting the requirements of the PWS. The staffing volume should demonstrate the Offeror’s ability to perform all technical requirements."
In addition, page 12-13, Factor 3: Staffing, asks for a "your company's approach to ensure your company's approach to ensure the staff working on this contract will ensure availability during standard duty hours and a plan to ensure continued contract support during periods of personnel turnover and long-term absences IAW PWS paragraphs 7.5 - 7.6."
And finally, the same section reads, "Provide CAGE Code and the date your company was granted a Top Secret Facility Clearance."
| Is it the government’ s intention for offerors to provide this information by modifying Attachment 7 or as an attachment to the spreadsheet? If an attachment is desired, will the government clarify page count? | The Staffing Matrix (Attachment 7) shall be utilized to demonstrate all requirements in Factor 3. The Contractor can enter this information in paragraph form into Attachment 7, as well as their CAGE/Facility Clearance. | |||
| 7 | Attachment 3 Pricing Worksheet | All Tabs | CLIN x006 Travel input rows 25-27 for the Base Period - Option Period 4 Tabs, includes the same format for the labor inputs required for CLINs x001 - x005. |
Will the Government provide a revised Attachment 3 Pricing Spreadsheet removing rows 25-27, allowing offerors to provide a total amount firm fixed price amount per contract period on the CLIN Summary tab only? The Government will keep the pricing worksheet as is. All rows do not have to be filled out.
