2. How many people are currently working under this contract?

3. How many FTEs are required to perform under this contract?

4. Does the contractor employee(s) need to travel to attend training/seminar overseas? If so, who will cover the cost(s)? How many days the training will be (e.g. how many days in a year)?
A: Does not need to travel.
5. Question — Period of Performance Date Reconciliation (Att.3 vs. SF-1449 p.7) -The Schedule on SF-1449, page 7 lists Option Period start dates as 21 August of each year.
-Attachment 3 Price Sheet, however, shows OP1 start as 22 Aug 2027, OP2 as 23 Aug 2028, OP3 as 24 Aug 2029, OP4 as 25 Aug 2030, and the 6-month extension start as 26 Aug 2031.
A: Attachment 3 had the wrong dates. The new attachment has the correct dates. The period of performance starts every 21 August.
6. Question 2 — CLIN Assignment for 6-Month Optional Extension Attachment 3 Price Sheet row 10 is labeled "6-month Extension" and is included in the Total Evaluated Price formula, but no numeric CLIN has been assigned in the SF-1449 Schedule (page 3) or in the Price Sheet. Please confirm whether (a) offerors should price the row as labeled and Government will assign a CLIN at award, or (b) a forthcoming amendment will assign a numeric CLIN (e.g., 5001) for invoicing purposes under WAWF.
A: Offeror should provide a price for the six-month extension. CLIN will be incorporated into the contract if/when exercising 6-month option is exercised in accordance with FR 52.217-8. Attachment 3 will be the contractors price.
7. Question 3 — Educational Technologist Wage Rate Reconciliation FAR 52.222-42 Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires (Solicitation page 13) lists Educational Technologist (15060) at $29.67 + 36.25%. Attachment 2 WD 15-5367 Rev 31 (line 213) lists 15060 Educational Technologist at $29.57. Please confirm that the controlling SCA labor floor is the WD rate ($29.57/hr) and that the $29.67 figure in 52.222-42 is informational.
A: The rates provided in FAR 52.222-42, Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires, are for informational purposes only, and approximate what the government would pay a Federal Employee rather than a contracted FTE. The calculated Federal Equivalent rate will not equal the WD rates established for the Labor Category.
Additionally, the Government does not mandate the use of any specific labor category. It is the vendor’s responsibility to evaluate the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and select the appropriate Wage Determination labor category that best fits their proposed staffing and technical approach.
8. Question 4 — Email Submission Mechanics The Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 (Solicitation page 19, §1.1) directs electronic submission to adriana.pingel.1@us.af.mil. To ensure responsive delivery, please confirm:
(a) Any per-email attachment size limit (the .mil mail boundary typically enforces ~10 MB) A: 10MB is the limit size.
(b) Whether the offeror may transmit the quote across multiple emails if total package size exceeds the cap.
A: multiple emails will be okay.
(c) Acceptable file formats for Attachment 3 (native .xlsx, locked PDF print, or both) A: Excel
(d) Whether the Government will reply with confirmation-of-receipt acknowledgment.
