1. Page 47/72, Section L2.1.6. "Questions/comments are due no later than." Does not provide the actual date. Can GSA provide a due date for questions?

2. Page 50/72, Section L2.3.4. No address provided for submitting the hard copies. Can GSA provide an address for submitting hard copies?

A. Address now provided.

3. Section L.5.3.1.a. in the RFP states, "If an offeror submits past performance information for an ID/IQ and/or BPA contract, then the offeror must identify a specific TO under that specific ID/IQ and/or BPA contract." Would two relevant task orders under the same contract be considered two references or a single reference?

A. Two references.

4. Section M.2.3.2. states, "To be determined Very Relevant, the past performance effort must have a value of not less than $1M annually and include at least three of the relevancy areas listed below. To be determined relevant, the past performance effort must have a value of not less than $1M annually and include at least two of the following relevancy areas. If the past performance effort is less than $1M annually or does not include at least two of the following relevancy areas, it will be determined Not Relevant." Is relevancy rated for each individual contract/task order or rated on all five references combined? It is rare contracts for this diverse set of capabilities would fall under a single task order.

A. Relevancy is rated for each individual contract/task order. The point made in this question is valid, however, as under this contract it is expected to be rare for a particular task order to cover multiple relevancy areas. Considering this, the Government has reduced the requirements for a Relevant or Very Relevant rating. A Relevant rating now requires experience in one relevancy area instead of two, and a Very Relevant rating requires experience in two relevancy areas instead of three.

5. Does the Government request that the offeror to provide a technical approach for TO 1 and TO 2? Section M does not provide evaluation criteria for a response to them. If yes, please direct where this should be located in the offeror’s response and an update section M that provides evaluation criteria?

A. The Government is not requesting a separate technical approach for TO 1. However, staffing for TO 1 and TO 2 is included within Subfactor 2 – Staffing Plan.
