Organizational & Management Planning Support Amendment 0003 to Solicitation HQ0034-12-R-3110

The purpose of this Amendment is to:

1. Clarify/Correct Responses to Questions 14 and 72.1.c. to read “at time of offer” versus

“at time of award” to match solicitation requirements as stated in Section L.1.1.5.g., Management Plan (FACTOR D).

2. All other Terms and Conditions remain unchanged, including the closing date and time for receipt of proposals.

14. The DD254 states that the level of safeguarding is TS. Does the government envision that awardees would need a SCIF for the performance of any task orders under the resulting contract?

The government anticipates some performance conducted during the life of this contract will be at the TS level. Therefore, offerors must have a Top Secret Facility Security

Clearance (FCL) at the time of offer.

The government also anticipates that some contract performance under this effort will likely be conducted in contractor facilities requiring receipt and generation of classified information up to and including the TS and or TS/SCI level; therefore, requiring

SAFEGUARDING at the TS level. The government anticipates that most TS and/or

TS/SCI performance will be conducted in government facilities. Offerors should have the capability to provide all levels of support (up to and including TS/SCI) at their facility.

Please see Amendment 0001.

72. 1c. Our company held a Top Secret facility security clearance during the performance of a recent contract. Our clearance is currently Secret since we do not have an active task order requiring Top Secret work. However, our DSS Representative has indicated that we remain eligible to have our Top Secret facility security clearance reinstated following the award of a task order or contract requiring this clearance level. In this case, would the government accept the bid of an offeror with an active Secret Facility Clearance and Top Secret eligibility, if the contractor’s current sponsor is willing to reinstate the Top Secret clearance following award of the contract?

The government anticipates that near term contract performance under this effort shall be accomplished at the TOP SECRET or TS/SCI level. Therefore, offerors must have a

Top Secret Facility Security Clearance (FCL) at the time of offer. Any firm which is not currently cleared at the Top Secret level will not be able to compete for this tasking. The

Government will not sponsor the contractor for this requirement. Specific security requirements shall be also be defined at the task order level. Please see Amendment

0001.
