About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document (Q&A Template) for solicitation HC104725R0002 regarding the Department of Defense (DoD) Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) System, containing four questions and government responses. The document clarifies that clearance requirements have been updated for subtask 6.2 in the PWS Section 11.2, confirms that Phase II rating thresholds for Phase III participation will be determined during evaluation, indicates that Past Performance questionnaire submission timing will be addressed in Phase III instructions, and confirms acceptance of encrypted verification documents for Facility Clearance Level (FCL) documentation.

The Q&A relates to a three-phase solicitation from DISA-NCR at Fort Meade for engineering and sustainment support of DoD SAFE, a large file transfer service for DoD and Mission Partners. The document primarily addresses administrative and procedural questions rather than providing substantial details about the technical requirements or scope of work.

Would the Government please clarify if an encrypted verification document from Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) National Industrial Security System (NISS) System of Record showing our Facility Clearance Level (FCL) will be acceptable?

Since the DCSA NISS document is marked “For Official Use Only” (FOUO) by the NISS system, it must be encrypted during transmission.

As an alternative, will the Government allow offerors to submit this FOUO document through DoD SAFE?

Another suggestion could be for the offeror to e-mail password protect/encrypt the FOUO document and send a second email with a password to the Government Contracting Officer and/or Contract Specialist under separate cover, prior to the Solicitation due date/time.

Section 1.1 Contract Information, Phase I Evaluation, page 35 of the RFP
The Government will accept an encrypted verification document.

If any offerors require alternate solutions, they should reach out to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Specialist.
