H92239-23-R-0004 POTFF Questions & Answers

#
Questions/Comments - 22JUNE23
1
Q: Since there are a number of variables between events ie. number of families ranging from 10 - 150; number of children ranging from 10 - 150; number of hours of childcare - & since these events will all be task order based will the government accept pricing based on attendee counts at the time of task order issuance? For previous similar requirements we have provided a FFP "menu" for each ordering period (base and option years) based on ranges of attendees, children and childcare hours.

A: The Task Orders will be priced based on the information that the Government will provide for the Lodging, Meals, Childcare Services and Event Space, plus the Event Planner Services and Contractor Travel (if applicable).

A:

2
Q: Is Audio/Visual equipment and labor pricing included in one of the PLUG CLINS or will the government add an additional PLUG CLIN for A/V?

A: Yes, the pricing for audio/visual equipment is included with the Event Space plug CLIN

3
Q: The government stipulates that they will give contractor a minimum of 30 days notice. This minimum notice is not considered best practice within the industry, and could be detrimental from an availability and budgetary standpoint - will the government consider amending this minimum notice to at least 90 days?

A: The Government minimum notice remains at 30 days to meet emergent requirements, all attempts will be made to give more notice.

4
Q: As part of Volume 1 - When the government asks for a "HUBZone certificate" do they want a copy of the SAM portal which identifies our current HUBZone designation? As a HUBZone company, we have never possessed a HUBZone certificate. We only have updates through SAM and SBA's GLS system showing our certification.

A: Amendment 1 will eliminate the HUBZone Certificate requirement, Vendor’s HUBZone status will be verified using the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS). No copy of the Vendor’s SAM portal is required.

5
Q: For Volume 3 Factor 2 - The instructions to offerors mentions Technical Exhibit 4 (Past Performance Questionnaires) but we did not see this as part of the provided documentation. Will the government require questionnaires and if so will they provide those or is industry required to use their own?

A: Amendment 1 will provide the Past Performance Questionnaires for the vendor to send to the appropriates POCs.

6
Q: If the government does require these questionnaires, will the government allow for an extension to the submission date so that we may have time to contact the POCs or will the government just require industry to provide POC information so government can reach out directly?

A: No extension will be granted at this time; the Government will reach out to the POCs provided by the Vendors.

7
Q: In the event a POC for a submitted past performance example is unable to complete and send a questionnaire due to travel, time off or other will the contractor be penalized for this or as long as a CPARS exists for all submitted past performance examples will the government accept that?

A: There is not a penalty for information not received. Past Performance information submitted by the Vendor will be evaluated according with 1.3 Factor 2.
