About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for a Defense Acquisition University (DAU) contract opportunity for Grants 201 Course Update and Instruction. The solicitation (HQ003425QE079) involves updating and teaching a virtual instructor-led training (VILT) course focused on DoD assistance instruments such as grants and cooperative agreements. Key details include: the contract is an indefinite-delivery-indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) type, anticipates approximately 10-12 courses per year, and requires continuous course material refinement. The previous contract numbers were GS-02F-0048V and N00014-20-F-4001.
Notable Q&A insights include: no mandatory resume submission for key personnel, course materials must follow specific formatting in PWS 3.1, class rosters provided 5 days before sessions, 9:00 a.m. EST start time is flexible, no mandated virtual platform, and a fixed September 15 deadline for annual review submissions. The solicitation allows vendors flexibility in proposing full-time or part-time staffing models, with instructors required to meet minimum qualifications. The contract is issued by the Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service, with no specific supplemental documentation permitted beyond a two-page technical approach and completed pricing sheet.

| QUESTIONS | ANSWERS | |
| 1 | Is this a new requirement or a follow-on and what was the previous contract number? | The previous contract and task order numbers were GS-02F-0048V and N00014-20-F-4001. |
| 2 | For proposals, is it required to include resumes for key personnel, or should this be excluded from the response? | The RFQ does not require resumes for key personnel. This being said, offerors may provide key personnel or staff information in the technical approach form. |
| 3 | Will DAU provide templates or specific formats for how updated course materials should be structured, or is contractor discretion allowed within compliance guidelines? | See PWS 3.1 for specific formatting and compliance standards. The current course materials are also available for review. |
| 4 | What is the expected frequency or cadence of ad hoc updates—are there historical patterns that can guide staffing and resource planning? | No, there is no expected frequency or historical patterns for ad hoc updates. |
| 5 | Can DAU clarify whether there will be a standard class roster provided in advance of each session, and how far in advance that would be? | Yes, a standard class roster will be provided in advance of each session. Currently, rosters are typically distributed approximately five (5) days prior to the course start date. |
| 6 | Are there any restrictions or requirements for which virtual platform must be used to deliver the VILT sessions (e.g., Teams, Zoom, Adobe Connect)? | No specific virtual platform is mandated but platforms must be coordinated with the Government. |
| 7 | Can DAU confirm if the September 15 deadline for annual review submissions is flexible if a course session is scheduled closely before that date? | The deadline is fixed but courses scheduled before Government approval will proceed using the current approved course materials. |
| 8 | Is there a process for pre-approval of instructor qualifications prior to delivery, or will that be handled post-award? | The SOW does not specify a pre-approval process, but instructors must meet the minimum qualifications. |
| 9 | Is the 9:00 a.m. EST start time fixed, or can the start time be adjusted depending on student location or instructor availability? | The start time is anticipated to be 9:00 a.m. EST but different times may be coordinated with the Government. |
| 10 | How many iterations per year do you anticipate conducting classes? Can you please provide historical data based on previous performance years? | The term “iterations” is not used in the SOW; if it means course offerings, the Government anticipates ten (10) courses per year, though this may vary depending on mission needs. Historically, 10-12 courses were conducted each year. |
| 11 | FTE Clarification: Is this project intended for a single Full-Time Equivalent (FTE), or is it expected to involve multiple personnel? | The RFQ does not stipulate so the vendor is free to propose one FTE or multiple. |
| 12 | Additional Submission Materials: Aside from the two-page Technical Approach and the completed pricing sheet, are we permitted to include any supplemental documents (e.g., corporate experience summaries or additional qualifications)? | No, offerors are not permitted to provide supplemental documents. |
| 13 | Please provide the number of hours for this opportunity. Is this full time or part time? | The RFQ does not stipulate so vendors are free to propose alternative approaches. |
