What do you mean when you state in above Attachment #4, to provide a minimum of three questionnaires for each region we intend to compete?

Does it mean that we must have done relevant effort with three different Contracting/Buying activities in the last three years in the region?

To demonstrate corporate experience, the offeror shall address their, and/or their subcontractor(s), most relevant government and/or commercial contracts and efforts performed within the past three years by completing Attachment 4. The Contracting/Buying activtity can be the same or different entities.

See Amendment 3 edit. "Contractor or Effort" is being changed to "Contract or Effort Identifier".

Our company is also interested in participating in Region 1 (USAFRICOM), however even though we have an extensive experience in Region 3 (USEUCOM), we have not conducted any vessel operation or performed in

AFRICOM.

Are we eligible to submit a Technical proposal for AFRICOM region, using our experience in S&RTS contract execution in Region 3?

28‐Nov‐23

The government is asking for proposal submissions within one or more of the six individual regions identified in Attachment 1, PWS, Appendix C for which the offeror is able to demonstrate their ability to provide services in any country within that region. Example 1: If you can provide services in Japan and Singapore then you would submit a proposal for region 4 (USINDOPACOM). Example 2: If you can provide services in Germany and Kuwait, then you would submit a proposal for regions 2 (USCENTCOM) and 3 (USEUCOM).

If an offeror feels work performed in one region demonstrates their ability to perform work in another region they are welcome to present this at time of proposal submission. Please note, the offeror shall demonstrate how each referenced contract or effort identified in their Corporate Experience Questionnaire is considered recent and relevant in terms of scope, magnitude, and complexity for the region they wish to participate in at the Task Order level. All responses provided, when considered together, should demonstrate capabilities to meet the full spectrum of requirements outlined in the PWS.
