About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) Response for a Request for Information (RFI) related to the Decisive Action (DA) Follow On contract opportunity by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The RFI covers critical details about a professional analytical services contract supporting WMD threat reduction efforts. Key highlights include requirements for approximately 116 personnel, with about 19% working OCONUS (13% permanent presence, 6% TDY), and mandates for secure working environments including SCIF spaces. Personnel will utilize various COTS/GOTS tools such as Microsoft Office 365, Tableau, Analyst Notebook, R & R Studio, Python, and ArcGIS Pro.
The government responses indicate support services will focus on analytical and advisory roles across multiple operational departments, with specific emphasis on WDA, ORSA, and other technical support functions. Notably, Phalanx support will be covered under a separate contract. The solicitation anticipates approximately 45 contractors based on POM27 Touchpoint 2 planning, with work primarily conducted in CONUS and limited OCONUS engagement. The government has confirmed willingness to meet with prospective bidders and is open to potential internal restructuring that will not impact the core contract requirements.

Q&A
| RFI- DA Follow On | ||||
| Question ID | Question | Government Response - OPX | Government Response - OPS | Government Response - OPAA |
| RFI-Q1 | How many personnel need to work in the SCIF Space? | ~116 personnel will be required to work in SCIF space. ~80 at the individual CCMD locations and those commands will arrange for that seating. At DTRC or Reston government site, ~36 permanent SCIF spaces are available. | 0 personnel and no space is required to be aligned to Task 3 within contractor-provided secure facilities described in Paragraph 2.0. | OPAA requires all personnel to work in SCIF space. Currently 22 contractors. Due to unique software & compute requirements all OPAA SIPR and TLAN computers must be in a SCIF. |
| RFI-Q2 | What are the square footage requirements for the SCIF space? | No response. The intent is to have the local contractors sitting at DTRC/Reston. | 0; OPS Personnel will not work from contractor-provided secure facilities. | Unknown what the policy is for square footage per person. |

| RFI-Q4 | Is the expectation to provide A&AS support (SME personnel) as WDAs, SAAs, IOFC SAAs, and ORSAs – the entire Operations Department in OI minus the Phalanx branch? | Yes, Phalanx support will be covered on a separate contract. | Yes for WDAs | Requirement for OPAA is ORSA support from Journeymen through SME. |
