Question Answer Will there be OCI language provided that would prevent vendors from receiving multiple tracks for example: Will the PMO provider be prohibited from primary additional tracks?

Consistent with the guidance at Industry Day and the draft OCI clauses, FEMA anticipates that the PMO provider will not receive any other contract awards due to an OCI.

As a small business will it be possible to bid on all 4 subordinate areas within IT security?

What might the boundaries be?

Yes, a vendor may bid on any of the solicitations but must take into account the potential OCIs created (see Industry Day slides). If a vendor wins the SOC or A&A contract which FEMA anticipates to be individual, standalone contracts, it will not receive a prime contract award on any of the other IT Security contracts. Depending on the nature of the roles and relationship, as well as proposed mitigation measures, it may be permissible for the prime contractors to be subcontractors in other areas depending on the work being done and if mitigation is acceptable.

OCI between the various security procurements?

See answer above.
