Government Responses to Industry Questions and Comments dated 26 February 2019
FA8750-19-R-0001
RFP Section Reference Questions/Comments Government Response 11 Section L - Instructions, Conditions, and
Notices to Offerors, RIK-L013 We request the Government allow submission of this information using Visit Requests via a secure portal such as Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS). Bidders and each of their subcontractors would be able to submit a Visit Request using the GARDEM RFP number (in place of contract). Specific language could be added in the comment field notifying AFRL of the contents, identifying Prime offeror, etc. Your consideration of this request is greatly appreciated.
Additionally, would the Government please consider delivery of PII in this format (submission via JPAS) on or before March 15, 2019? This would give Offerors time to ensure proper notification to all employees and subcontractors to clear release of this information.
Submissions of the required PII using encrypted files, password protected CDs, etc. have been determined to be acceptable. The Government's security team is reviewing your alternative submission technique. The Government hopes to have a definite answer in the near future, however we will not extend submission of the required PII beyond 28 February 2019, so please plan accordingly. The due date for Proposals, in their entirety, remains the same.
Government update to the above response:
The Government's security office will not be able to process Visit Requests within Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) for submission of required PII of the GARDEM solicitation. Please submit the information utilizing alternative methods (encryption or password protection). Please note, the RFP states that names and social security numbers of personnel submitted to fulfill the GARDEM solicitation requirement will be protected in accordance with the Privacy Act and will only be used to verify security clearance.
