4A: In accordance with Solicitation HT940624R0022, Page 23 of 54; CLIN structure is identified as a quantity of 12, and unit of measure of Months.
5. We are seeking clarification on whether the contracting company must possess specific clearance credentials.
5A: Please refer to PWS section 1.16. and section 1.17. Specifically, contractor personnel are required to have specific credentials because services are being performed on a military installation and accessing the Department of Defense (DoD) network.
6. Call Volume – the Pricing Sheet asks for how many personnel by category would be staffed, but there is no information from which to base that decision.

9. Are there certain outside factors that affect volume/staffing needs?
9A: In accordance with PWS Section 5.7.1 for scheduling and staffing information. The Government can only presume a factor that could affect volume and staffing needs would be the requirement that the Emergency Communications Center is to be manned 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week.
