Q1. Is this a new opportunity? If not, how many full time contractors currently work on this effort?

R1 This is new opportunity in that there is not a current transition but a continuation of a routine effort to update ACAF.

Q2. If there is an incumbent, can you provide us with the name of the vendor currently performing this work?

R2 Clear Science, Inc.

Q3. Are all proposed key personnel required to fulfill ALL the experience requirements listed in section 7.0 “Skill or Relevant Experience Requirements”?

R3 Yes

Q4. Page 3 and 4 there are 4 CLINs …. 0001 ACAF Support Services, 0002 ODC Travel, 0003 Option 1 ACAF Labor Support and 0004 Option 1 ODCs. In the PWS page 6 of 39, 5.0 “Requirement Type” calls for base period plus 4 Options. It is our assumption that this is a typo and the price should be for base year plus 1 option year per the original CLINs page 3 and 4. Please confirm this correct.

R4 Option 3 and Option 4 are deleted on the Performance Work Statement Page 6 of 39, Paragraph 5.0 Requirement Type.

Q5. On page 15 of 38 in the “Delivery Information” Section, it also calls for 4 CLINs as well, however the Delivery Date for CLIN 0001 shows the PoP to read “15 Sep 2015 to 14 Sept 2018”. We suspect the end of PoP should read “14 Sept 2016” vice 14 Sept 2018. Please confirm.

R5 CLIN 0001 should read POP 15 Sep 2015 to 14 Sept 2016

Q6. On page 15 “Deliver Information” section, CLIN 0002 shows the PoP end date to read 14 July 2017. Please confirm that this should actually read 14 Sept 2016.

R6 CLIN 0002 should read POP 15 SEP 2015 to 14 SEP 2016

Q7. For purposes of the bid, is a FTE considered 1880 hours or 1920 hours?

R7 1880 hours

Q8. On page 6 of 38, 5.0 “Requirement Type”: Are both the 0.6 FTE ACAF SME and the 0.4 FTE Dataset/Database Analyst both Key Positions, or just the .6 ACAF SME? If both are Key, do both require resume submission?

R8 Yes

Q9. If we factor in a few hours for program management as part of our FFP price buildup, do we need to submit a resume for our PM as well?

R9 No

Q10. On p.38 of 38, Substitution of Personnel, there is a * in paragraph (b). We are unclear about how to fill that out. Can you provide guidance?

R10 5252.237-9400 Substitution or Addition of Personnel (JAN 1992) is to be filled in by the Contracting Officer for the award document. It is included in the RFQ as reference to the specific process of personnel issues or changes.

Q11. In the Past Performance template, the bottom section refers to “Awards”. Does that mean the contractor should summarize any accolades or official awards received as a result of excellent performance of the contract?

R11 The Awards section provides opportunity for the company to acknowledge their success and accolades of their business strategy and task accomplishments.

Q12. In the Past Performance template, the bottom section refers to “Corrective Action”. Does that mean the contractor should summarize any written deficiencies (e.g. Cure letters) received from the COR in performance of the contract? Or is it simply a chance to exhibit how the company effectively solves the many challenges that arise during the execution of any contract?

R12 Actions that relate to the past performance of the company should be included. Both statements above can be utilized to convey actions that are known/unknown. The Contract Specialist may contact the COR for reference/clarification purposes to verify detail and also utilize Contract Performance Assessment Report for additional details.
