Government Response: Eleven (11) PSOs under the current contract have PIV cards. For PIV Card issuance location information, please refer to the DHS Centers Page located at:

https://dhs.authentx.com/dhs/appointments/frm-centerlist.html

In reference to obtaining PIV cards, offerors shall note that there are a number of issuance facilities within the National Capital Region. A list of these facilities can be found at:

https://dhs.authentx.com/dhs/appointments/frm-centerlist.html. Offerors shall price all https://dhs.authentx.com/dhs/appointments/frm-centerlist.html https://dhs.authentx.com/dhs/appointments/frm-centerlist.html cost associated with PSOs obtaining the PIV within their price proposal to include PSOs time spent traveling and applying for PIV cards within their price proposal.

Question 16: The SOW identified all training required for PSOs who perform screening other than through the use of X-ray machines on this contract. What is the number of PSOs under the current contract that are trained to these standards?

Government Response: Refer to Question and Government Response 16, which also applies to non-x-ray screener posts under the current contract.

Question 17: The SOW identifies the Weapons Detection Training Program Instructor Certification Course. What is the number of training instructors under the current contract that are trained and certified to these standards?

Government Response: Refer to Question and Government Response 16, which also applies to training instructors under the current contract.

Question 18: The SOW identifies the medical and physical test requirements under this contract. Are all PSOs under the current contract medically and physically cleared to these standards?

Government Response: Yes, all PSOs under the current contract are cleared under the medical and physical standards. All PSOs for the new requirement must be cleared under SOW Section 5.2.

Question 19: Is guard mount, roll call, or gear-up/gear-down time required for PSOs before or after each shift?

Government Response: No. The government does not have a requirement for gear up/gear down time, roll call or guard mount. However, vendors shall refer to the CBAs for any gear up/gear down, roll call or guard mount requirements. See Attachment 5. Vendors shall utilize their business acumen to determine whether gear up/gear down time, roll call or guard mount is necessary in this requirement, the time associated with each, and price accordingly.

Question 22: For pricing purposes, will the government label which CBA applies to the individuals identified in the seniority roster?

Government Response: No. The government will not label which CBA applies to the individuals identified in the seniority roster. The seniority list, as revised under Amendment 0002, includes building numbers. In addition, the SF1449 indicates the applicable CBA for each building under the instant requirement.

Question 23: Our company held a secret facility clearance while operating a government contract that ended. Because that was our only contract that required a Secret Facility Clearance, once it ended our clearance became inactive. They tell us in order for them to reactivate our clearance we need to first be awarded a contract that requires it. What documentation do you need from us in our proposal to satisfy the needs of FPS regarding Secret Facility Clearance?

Government Response: For purposes of the proposal, offerors shall document within their proposal whether or not they possess the required facility clearance in accordance with the proposal submission requirements. If the Contractor selected for award does not possess a Secret facility security clearance at the time of proposal, DHS will sponsor the firm for the facility clearance. If a sponsored Contractor does not receive the required facility clearance prior to the date by which PSOs are to stand post, DHS may employ appropriate contractual remedies, up to and including termination of the contract. Refer to page 71 of the Solicitation for the proposal submission requirements in regard to the facility clearance.

B. All other solicitation provisions shall remain unchanged.
