MEMORANDUM FOR INTERESTED VENDORS

SUBJECT: FA4661-16-Q-0073 Financial Systems Administrator Support, Contractor Questions Amendment

1. The purpose of this memo is to document the questions and answers listed below for the subject amendment:

• Solicitation states: One (1) FTE. However, there appears to be two unique Job Descriptions. Computer Systems Administration Support and Financial Systems Administrator Support. Is 1 FTE a minimum or is 1 FTE expected to provide services unique to the responsibilities outlined in each role? The requirement for 1 FTE has been removed. The contractor can provide more than one FTE so long as they meet the requirement based on the objective in the Performance Work Statement.

• Any perceived potential for this contract to move beyond the potential 12 MONTHS stated in the solicitation? Yes there is a possibility that this contract may be extended beyond 12 months. The clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, has been added to the solicitation.

• Is this solicitation representing new work or a re-bid? This is a new requirement for Air

Force Global Strike Command, but was previously solicited as an ACC contract for multiple bases (FA4890-13-C-0006 award).

• If re-bid is there a current incumbent performing services today? Yes.

• If re-bid who is the current prime contract holder? Adjuvant Consulting, Inc.

• How many FTEs historically support this work? One (1).

The number of FTEs required is up to each contractor submitting a quote so long as the solution can meet the requirements of the PWS.

• PWS Section 1.3.1 “The contractor proposal shall clearly address the IAT Level I certification requirements.” Quote submission instructions only require the signed quote and representations and certifications.

Is it a requirement of this contract that the contractor develops and launches the online tool?

• Section 2, 2.2.2.2. Refers to “Special Programs” and Task Order 0002, there is no Task Order 0002 attached. Will contractor personnel supporting this work be “involved in the Special Programs”? Can the government provide Task Order 0002 if needed? No, this part of the PWS has been removed.
