Questions on HS0021-15-R-0004

1. On pages 4 through 21 the quantity for the course instruction CLINs is listed as 34 weeks while the description is to teach one session only. Please confirm that these should be 16 weeks for the Spring semester and 17 weeks for the Summer semester based on the class dates listed on page 31 in section 5.2.3.

A: 17 weeks

2. On page 9 the Quantity for CLIN 0004AB is listed as 1 and the Unit is listed as each. Please confirm that the quantity should be 17 for this Summer semester and the Unit should be weeks as indicated for all other courses.

A: 17 weeks

3. On page 15 for CLIN 0007AC please confirm if this should be the Summer semester since 0007AB is the Spring semester.

A: Summer is correct

4. On page 22 and 44 the list of courses indicates 11 courses and includes ED505 while all other lists do not include ED505. According to the CDSE website, ED505 is being offered in the Spring semester.

ED502 is also included on the list but believe that it is already on an option year contract. Did you intend to include ED505 and not ED502. Please clarify courses to be taught.

A: Yes ED 502 is covered on another contract. ED 505 is a requirement and CLINS 0010-00010AC were added.

5. On page 25 section 1.6.8 please confirm that these special requirements apply to this PWS.

A: Does not apply…will be removed.

6. On page 32 section 6.7 the 15 hours of participation is requested for each SME instructor only.

Please confirm if either the PM or ISD should also participate as they are listed as key personnel.

A: Only SME’s Instructors

7. On pages 44 and 46 the proposal submission date is listed as Dec 4 while the posting on FedBizOps lists the submission date as Dec 8. Please confirm which is correct.

A: 8 December

8. On pages 45 and 47 the proposal submission requirements include both hard copy and email submissions. Will the government please consider printing the soft copy at DSS and eliminating the hard copy submission requirement to allow contractors additional time to finalize their proposals rather than stopping early for printing, publishing, and delivery/mailing? Especially with the Thanksgiving holiday this week.

A: Removed

9. Please confirm if there will be an option period and if so what are the numbers of times each course might be taught?

A: No options…

10. The solicitation SF1449 contains a “DRAFT” watermark. Can the government confirm that this is the final solicitation?

A: It is not the final because it was pending final review but if I waited for the final review the announcement would go out with little to no time for you to work the requirement…any changes to this requirement are expected to be minor.

11. The delivery table on page 28 of 41 states there is one deliverable due on Dec 5, 2014, and several others due Dec 12, 2014. Can the government confirm that these dates are accurate?

A: 12 Dec is the correct date…it cannot be due before contract award.

12. Would DSS consider moving the due date to 12 Dec to permit enough time for subcontract negotiations in light of the Thanksgiving holiday?

A: That is not feasible because the contract has to awarded by the 12th.

13. In the RFP ED503 only has a CLIN for the Summer while the CDSE website has it being offered in the Spring and Summer semesters. Do you need to add a CLIN or is the Spring semester covered under an existing option contract?

A: No the Spring Session is covered on another contract.

14. Section L on page 46 of the draft RFP that states that proposals are due 2:00PM EDT, on December 4, 2014. It has been pointed out to me that block 8 of the 1449 states 02:00 PM 08 Dec 2014.

Could you please confirm the due date?

A: 8 December 2014
