About this file
This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document clarifying solicitation requirements and evaluation criteria for a federal contract opportunity. The solicitation closing date has been extended to July 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST. Regarding past performance documentation, contractors must submit the Past Performance Report Form in Sections L and M as required; while the contracting officer may review Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs), these are not acceptable as a substitute for the mandatory form. For Factor II, Subfactor I (Staffing Approach), contractors should reference Section 7.0 Specific Requirements for applicable tasks and requirements, which also applies to Factor II, Subfactor II.
In evaluating the staffing approach, risk mitigation strategies need not be accompanied by comprehensive past performance evidence; relevant experience alone is acceptable. Regarding attrition metrics, the Government seeks information demonstrating full staffing levels, the timeframe required to fill any staffing vacancies if the contractor is not fully staffed, and evidence of staff retention rates. This clarification indicates the Government prioritizes contractor stability and ability to maintain adequate personnel resources throughout contract performance.

Q&A
1.Would the government consider extending the closing date of this solicitation to July 27th, 2026, to accommodate a more comprehensive response?
A1: The solicitation has been extended to close on 20 July 2026 at 1000AM EST.
2. Would the Government consider CPARs in lieu of the Past Performance Report Form?
A2: The Government requests in the Past Performance Report Form in Sections L and M to be provided.

3. In the instructions under Factor II, Subfactor I - Staffing Approach the government cites “Section 4.0” for the “tasks/requirements” which are Applicable documents. Should this be changed to Section 7.0 Specific Requirements?
A3: Section 7.0 can be referenced for Factor II, Subfactor I and Factor II, Subfactor II
4. In the staffing approach should every risk mitigation approach be accompanied by past performance evidence or would a subset of experience be acceptable?
A4: Relevant experience is acceptable
5. Can the Government provide clarification on what type of attrition metrics it is requesting (annual turnover, total number of vacancies, length of vacancy, etc.)?
A5: The Government wants to know that you are fully staffed. If you are not fully staffed, the Government wants to know how long it takes to fill staffing vacancies. Also, the Government wants to know about your staff retention.
