PREVIOUS QUESTION:

Under the Return Cardstock Task, paragraph 4.2.3.3 states “Using a government furnished reader, the contractor shall scan all returned cards (hand-entering when damage prevents scanning) to record the Card Unique Identifier/Card Identification Number (CUID/CIN) number and the error code from the sorted cardstock.” Q: does the government have an idea on the amount of time it takes to scan and process one returned card?

PREVIOUS RESPONSE: It is estimated it will take 5-10 seconds to scan and process one returned card.

CORRECTION PER THIS DOCUMENT:

We cannot estimate the time needed for the scanning process. This is a performance based requirement. The government provides the requirement and the standard that must be met. How the contractor performs the requirement is in their approach. Previous response of estimated scan time is to be disregarded.

PREVIOUS QUESTION:

Under the Returned Cardstock Shipping Task, para 4.3.1 states “The Contractor shall ensure the first package includes a large envelope or box with a Privacy Act Data Cover Sheet, which identifies the cardstock as containing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data. The second outer package shall be a box from a third-party courier or from your site that has the words “For Official Government Use Only” stated on it.” Q: Will the government provide the packaging materials to complete this task, or should the contractor include the cost of the packaging materials in the pricing for this solicitation?

PREVIOUS RESPONSE:

The government will not supply packaging materials. Fedex Supplies will supply the contractor free basic shipping supplies. This includes mostly branded supplies like boxes, label pouches, customs forms and the like. See Amendment 1 PWS - Section 4.1.6
