RFP Q&A (4)_19Nov19.pdf

Contractor Questions to the RFP Answers 152.) The response to Question 148 states that PDFs must be searchable. Can the Government clarify the intent of a searchable PDF file? Some supporting documentation is only be available as an image. As such, it is impossible to search within the file. Can offerors create searchable headers for the PDF files so supporting information is searchable by title and easy to find?

Yes. The Government understands that some documentation is only available as an image and is not searchable.

153.) Would the Govt accept Lab Services contract, such as Drug testing, DNA analysis, lab operations for specimen testing - as a valid contract for Business Management Strategy towards 5(i)?

Per Section L 5(i), the Government did not limit the type of Research Laboratory Service. See Section L, 3.1.3 Supporting Documentation. The burden of proof rests with the Offeror to provide substantiating documentation that is sufficient to validate the self-score.
