No. of Inquiries

Reference RFQ Section

Paragra ph No.

Page No.(s)

Question

1 N/A N/A N/A 1. Is this a new training service or has the “Peer Support Training Service”, or similar training, been previously conducted for DHS by a contractor? If so, are there any training evaluation or contract evaluation document(s) that DHS will make available to all potential contractors as they consider submitting a quote?

Government

Response:

This is a new requirement.

2 Combined Synopsis/RFQ

Section iii

Page 1-2 1. The posting indicates the RFQ is a set aside for small business, “(iii) This solicitation is set aside for small business”. The RFQ on page 1 states that the RFQ is “not a small business set aside”. Is this RFQ a small business set aside?

This is a Small Business set aside. The solicitation has been revised to reflect the appropriate size standard.

3 Attachment 1

– Instructions to Offeror

2 Page 21 1. We note with interest that the RFQ was issued on August 10, questions are due August 11, and quotes are due on August

19. Alongside the quote, the RFQ states on page 21 that “…references shall forward their completed questionnaires directly to the contracting officer, NOT BACK TO THE OFFEROR by 4 PM EST on August 19, 2016.” We expect this turn-around time will pose challenges for any contractor’s references. Would DHS consider holding the RFQ response deadline to August 19, while moving the reference questionnaire to August 24?

The due date for the complete RFQ response (questionnaires included) has been changed to 4 PM EST on August 31, 2016.

4 N/A N/A N/A 1. Does the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation under solicitation number HSHQDC16Q00335 contain requirements similar to a current contract? If possible, please provide the current contract number.

Or, is this a new requirement for the government?
