J.16 Questions Template.docx

This is a Questions Template document for the Senate Food and Related Services Request for Proposal (RFP) AOCSSB26R0002 issued by the Architect of the Capitol. The template provides a structured format for offerors to submit inquiries regarding the RFP package, with designated columns for the offeror's question, the government's response, and notation of whether the question resulted in RFP changes. This template serves as an administrative tool to facilitate the clarification process between potential contractors and the government during the pre-proposal phase.

The template is part of a larger solicitation process with the following key dates and submission requirements: questions must be submitted by Friday, April 24 at 12:00 pm ET via Kiteworks; a mandatory pre-proposal conference and walk-through of Senate facilities will occur on Monday, April 27, 2026 (limited to two individuals per vendor); and final proposal submission is due Wednesday, May 20 at 12:00 pm ET via AOC's Secure File Transfer Site. Offerors are instructed to use the first two columns of this Attachment J.16 template for question submission. The template itself contains no specific performance requirements, pricing terms, or service details, as those specifications are contained in other RFP sections and attachments.
