About this file

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file addressing contractor inquiries regarding an iPad redaction contract opportunity with Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC).

The document clarifies three key administrative matters. First, regarding subcontractor approval, the government estimates a two-week timeline for AFGSC OSI (Operations Security and Intelligence) approval of any contractors, whether prime or subcontractor, before work performance begins. Second, the use of subcontractors is explicitly not an evaluation factor for award, meaning contractors will not be disadvantaged for utilizing subcontracting arrangements. Third, concerning equipment logistics, contractors may personally transport iPads to and from Whiteman Air Force Base as an acceptable shipping and movement method. However, contractors must comply with base access requirements outlined in the updated Attachment 3, specifically the "Contractor Access to Department of the Air Force Installations" section. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) referenced throughout governs the overall contract requirements for the iPad redaction work.

Ipad Redaction Questions – Answers in red text.

1. Subcontractor Approval Process: The PWS references AFGSC OSI approval for subcontractors prior to any subcontracting of work. Could you please clarify the process and timeline for obtaining that approval?

We estimate a 2-week process for OSI approval of any contractors, prime or sub-contractor, prior to performing work.

2. Additionally, would the use of a subcontractor negatively impact my evaluation or lower my chances of award?

The use of subcontractors is not an evaluation factor for award.

3. Equipment Pickup and Return: I understand the contractor is responsible for all shipping and movement of equipment. I am prepared to personally drive to Whiteman AFB to pick up the iPads and return them upon completion of the redaction. I want to confirm this is an acceptable method of fulfillment and inquire whether there are any base access requirements or coordination steps I should be aware of in advance.

This is an acceptable method of shipping and movement of the equipment.

Base access requirements have been added via the updated attachment 3, please see “Contractor Access to Department of the Air Force Installations” on the last page.
