FRIDAY MAY 13, 2011 2:00PM ET

The purpose of this amendment is 1)provide questions and answers to all Offerors, 2) extend the proposal due date to May 13, 2011 2:00pm ET.

1) Answers to some questions received are attached.

2) The due date and time in Paragraph L.7.C.(f) is revised to read;

"Due Date and time: Proposal: No Later than 2:00PM ET Friday May 13, 2011.

As this is a fixed price contract, would the Government please provide the number of holidays that the contact center may be operational so it can be accurately accounted for in the offeror’s price? See Paragraph H.11 of the RFP.

The inclusion of “Wednesday” appears to be an error, as April 29, 2011 is a Friday. Would the Government please confirm the due date for the proposal is Friday, April 29, 2011?

Yes, this was an error and is corrected in this amendment. Note also, the due date for proposals has been changed to Friday, May 13, 2011.

We believe some language in the Draft Award Fee Plan should be changed. May the contractor propose different language? Yes. See Paragraph B.3 Award Fee in the RFP.

Reference I-2, FAR 52.222-41, 43, 44, and 49:

The Service Contract Act (SCA) covers contracts entered into by federal agencies that have as their principal purpose furnishing services through the use of “service employees.” The definition of “service employee” includes any employee engaged in performing services on a covered contract other than a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employee who meets the exemption criteria set forth in 29 CFR Part 541. Since the preponderance of work under this contract is for bona fide executive, administrative and professional employees, it would appear that the Service Contract Act does not apply.

Please confirm whether the SCA and the associated multiple year price adjustment clauses (FAR 52.222-41, 43, 44, and 49) apply. If they do not apply, please remove these clauses from Section I.

Yes, the Service Contract Act Applies

Please confirm that this is a Firm Fixed Price contract as defined by FAR 16.202-1. As stated in Section B of the RFP, this is a Fixed Price Award Fee (FPAF) contract. FAR 16.404.

We believe there are OCI issues because…

We have received more than one question about OCI. Please see Paragraph I.8 in the Solicitation. Any other questions regarding OCI should be submitted along with a statement from the Offeror that they have reviewed Paragraph I.8 of the solicitation and still have a question.

We would like an extension of the due date for proposals because… We have received extension requests and are extending the proposal due date to May 13, 2011 at 2:00pm ET.
