Question # Solicitation Reference Question Answer

1 Procurement

In the list of attachments to be submitted with the quote on page 10 of the SOL, Attachment 5 and Attachment 8 are both labeled as the "Present and Past Performance Questionnaire." On page 11, Volume 3 is also described as consisting of the "Present and Past Performance Questionnaire." On page 13, Attachment 5 is described as "quoters shall provide and complete the following FAR and DFARS provisions and submit with their quotes," followed by a list of FAR and DFARS provisions, which conflicts with the description of Attachment 5 on page 10. As there are conflicting and overlapping descriptions of what Attachment 5, Attachment 8, and Volume 3 should be, could you kindly clarify what content should be included in each of these attachments and volumes?

See solicitation amendment as follows: Attachment 5 is Present and Past Performance Questionnaire. Attachment 8 is the completed FAR and DFARS from offerors.

Regarding Attachment 7, Form DD 2930a: We will only be collecting PII through Schoology in the form of teachers' full names. As Schoology is DoDEA's private LMS, should we indicate this on the form? Otherwise, the only information about DoDEA users that will be shared on our public web platforms are the first names and last initials of students who are finalists in our art contest and thus have their work posted on our museum website. As first names and last initials are generally not considered PII, should this still be included on the form?

Potentially the contractor will be exposed to PII data therefore potential offerors are encouraged to complete attachment 7 as required

3 Procurement

On page 10 of the SOL, item R in the itemized list reads "DoDEA requires digital access to the Vendors digital resources for 10 people." Could you please clarify which digital resources this item is referring to, and would providing a link to said resources be sufficient to satisfy the "10 people" requirement?

Vendors shall provide access to any digital material they would like to included as part of their quote

4 Procurement Page 13 of the SOL reads "Quoters shall provide and complete the following fill-in FAR and DFARS provisions and submit with their quotes." In what format should we provide our answers to these FAR and DFARS provisions?

Vendor shall complete attachment 8 in a word or PDF format.

5 COR

On page 44, the table titled Using American Art Tasks specifies a range of 10-15 deliverables in the "Student-Centered School Exhibits" category. On page 45, Task 5 states "The Contractor shall provide facilitation for two student-created school exhibits each year." Could you please clarify which number is correct?

The numbers on the pricing sheet are correct

6 COR

In the price sheet, Attachment 1, a quantity of 450 printed supplemental materials is specified, but on page 45, Task 7, element 2.8.2 asks for materials for 205 teachers in one year and 10 further copies in each of the four option years, for a total of 245 materials. Could you please clarify the correct quantity of materials required?

The numbers on the pricing sheet are correct

7 Procurement The price sheet, Attachment 1, is listed as a required component of Volume 1 (item J on page 10) but also as the entirety of Volume 4. Could you please clarify the intended organization of this element?

Yes. We need it in both volumes

8 Procurement Will the government please provide the incumbent information, to include contractor name(s) and contract number(s)?
