Please confirm the work days? Would it be Monday to Friday?

Workdays would vary, as there's not a steady work schedule. However, workdays would be within the timeframe of Mon-Fri between 0730-1630, closed on Holidays and AFGSC Family Days. There is flexibility as this is a part time position and calls are made based on need for assistance.

In PWS, it says:

4. WORK HOURS/DAYS: Work hours will be part time and vary. Hours will be scheduled between 0730-1630, with 2-day advance notice.

Minimum number of hours per call is 2. The work will not be required during Federal holidays, when the office is closed, or during designated AFGSC Family Days.

- Please confirm what is meant by per call?

- Does it mean that the contractor employee will only report on Whiteman Air Force Base when he/she receives a call?

Calls will be made when we need assistance within the Ed Center. This typically means that we will project out times where there is a high volume of customers projected, or if we are aware of extended absenses within the Ed Center, etc. A call would mean we are requesting service. If a call is made, we must ensure at least 2 hours of work is required.

Education Coursework Equivalency: In lieu of the 24 hours of education-related coursework specified in the PWS, would prior service in the Air Force be considered equivalent experience to meet this requirement?

Depending on the AFSC and AF Courses attended. Some AF Courses award education-related coursework like Education and Training Management Apprentice Course, Principles of Instruction, Instrucitonal Systems Design, and Basic Instuctor Course to name a few.

Professional Experience as a Substitute: Would professional experience, such as academic or financial aid advising of one or more years, be considered sufficient to meet the education-related coursework requirement in the PWS? Unfortunately, without the education-related course work, we could not use this contract to it's full extent due to constraints it would place on the contractor as it pertains to accesses, responsiblities, etc.

13 Anticipated Start Date: Could you confirm the anticipated start date for the contract? At this time, the projected start date is January/February 2025.

Reporting Structure: To whom will the appointed advisor report? Is there a specific individual or position designated for oversight of the advisor's duties?

Yes, it is acceptable to sumbit a copy of representations and certifications with the proposal.
