ANSWERS TO PROSPECTIVE OFFEROR’S QUESTIONS #2

FDA-14-RFP-1127332

Sentinel 2014

QUESTION NO.1

Where should the management plan be included? Section M.3 on p. 56 refers to it as part of Volume 2, but Section L.8 on p. 52 makes no mention of a management plan as part of Volume 2 and says to exclude key personnel information.

ANSWER NO.1

The technical volume should include a discussion of the technical approach and the management plan. The exclusion refers to the page number count. Section L.8 has been revised to clarify this issue. (See below Section L.8 Revision)

QUESTION NO.2

Does the twelve-page limit for the technical volume detailed in Section L.8 include appendices?

ANSWER NO.2

Yes.

QUESTION NO.3

We have one more clarification/confirmation question. Is the staffing plan to be included as part of the technical proposal or a standalone? The RFP states a) incorporate it as part of the technical (pg 52) or b) submit a staffing plan (page 53). If it is separate, what volume do we include it in?

ANSWER NO.3

The staffing plan is a component of the management plan and should be included in the technical volume.
