About this file
This is a Bidders Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for federal contract opportunity N00024-26-R-5246, released as Amendment 01 on October 9, 2026. The document addresses three primary questions from potential offerors regarding security clearance eligibility, contract quantities, and CLIN specifications.
The first clarification confirms that offerors holding active U.S. Government-issued SECRET facility clearances, personnel clearances, and safeguarding capabilities while operating under a DCSA-approved FOCI mitigation instrument (such as a Proxy Agreement) are eligible to compete for and perform the requirement, provided they meet all other solicitation terms and maintain compliance with DD Form 441 and foreign ownership restrictions. The second response addresses potential additional quantities beyond those listed in Section B, indicating the Government may add quantities beginning in FY28, with specific potential additions across three variants (Variants 1 & 2 combined, and Variant 3 with quantities varying by fiscal year). The third answer clarifies that quantities shown in the CLIN Quantity Table represent the Government's estimated quantities for planning purposes, with hour-based CLINs treated as Not-to-Exceed amounts and hardware quantities reflecting current mission-need estimates. The document indicates additional quantities may become available based on fund availability across the contract's life cycle.

Question Answer
1 Section L 1.1 General Information, Page 1
Please clarify whether an offeror that holds the required active U.S.
Government-issued SECRET facility clearance, SECRET personnel clearances, and SECRET safeguarding capability—and that operates under a DCSA-approved Proxy Agreement—is eligible to compete for and perform the requirement.
Yes. An offeror operating under a DCSA-approved FOCI mitigation instrument (such as a Proxy Agreement) that possesses the required active U.S. Government-issued SECRET Facility Security Clearance (FCL), personnel clearances, and safeguarding capabilities is eligible to compete for and perform the requirement, provided they meet all other terms, conditions, and technical requirements of the solicitation. Note that consistent with DD Form 441 (DoD Security Agreement), the contractor must maintain this security agreement in good standing with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) and comply with all security controls, execution requirements, and foreign ownership restrictions specified therein, in addition to meeting all other terms, conditions, and technical requirements of the solicitation.
NOTE: The offeror must possess all security requirements at the time of proposal submission.
2 Section B B Total Contract Quantities
Section B Note A lists potential quantities up to 160, however CLIN quantities total to less. What is the potential of additional quantities in the life of the contract?
In addition to the hardware quantities stated in the RFP, the goverment may add additional quantities begining in FY29 as follows, subject to the availability of funds:
* Variant 1& 2 Potential Additional Quantities across both variants: FY28 +3, FY29+3, FY30 +3, FY31 +3
* Variant 3 Potential Additional quantities: FY28 +10, FY29+8, FY30 +9, FY31 +7
3 Section B B CLIN Qty Table
Please clarify the system quantities included in the CLIN Qty Table beginning on Page 7. Is this the Govt's Best Estimated Quantity (BEQ)? If not, is a BEQ table available?
Revised Answer: The quantities shown in the CLIN Qty Table are the Government’s estimated quantities for planning purposes.
Hour‑based CLINs (e.g., 16,000 hours; 6,350 hours) will be treated as Not ‑to‑Exceed (NTE), and unit quantities (e.g., hardware “Each” quantities across CLINs 0003–4005) reflect the Government’s current mission ‑need estimates. In addition to the hardware quantities stated in the RFP, the goverment may add additional quantities begining in FY29 as follows. Subject to availability of funds :
*Variants 1& 2 Potentional Additional Quantities across both variants: FY28 +3, FY29+3, FY30 +3, FY31 +3
* Variant 3 Potential Additional quantities: FY28 +10, FY29+8, FY30 +9, FY31 +7
Draft RFP Answer: The quantities shown in the CLIN Qty Table are the Government’s estimated quantities for planning purposes.
Hour‑based CLINs (e.g., 16,000 hours; 6,350 hours) will be treated as Not ‑to‑Exceed
