Q2. May the prime contractor use a qualified subcontractor or independent contractor to perform the music director services while retaining responsibility for contract management and quality assurance? Please identify any applicable restrictions on subcontracted performance.

A2. Yes. Vendors shall submit resume for their proposed candidate. Any submission that doesn't include a resume will not be evaluated and considered for award.

Q3. Beyond the proposed primary candidate's resume, are substitute resumes or personnel commitment letters required with the quotation?

Q5. Section 5.1.3 references three years of organist and pianist experience in Roman Catholic ministries conducted in a military setting. Must the candidate demonstrate three years on both instruments in a military Catholic setting, or will equivalent civilian Catholic experience be considered?

A5- Candidate must have at least three (3) years of organist and pianist experience with Roman Catholic ministries conducted in a military setting and maintain requisite skills in a variety of sacred musical genres appropriate for Roman Catholic liturgies.

Q6. Please clarify the duration of a billable unit. Section 2.1 describes a unit as typically half an hour; section 2.1.1 describes approximately one-hour worship services; section 2.1.2 specifies 1.5-hour rehearsals; and section 2.3 contains conflicting written and numerical durations. What duration should offerors use for each service category, and does it include the required 20-minute early arrival?

A6- Proposed candidate must have at least three (3) years of organist and pianist experience with Roman Catholic ministries conducted in a military setting and maintain requisite skills in a variety of sacred musical genres appropriate for Roman Catholic liturgies.

Q8. Please confirm that the listed CLIN quantities of 174/177/174/174/174 apply to the November-to-November performance periods and should be used as issued. Are these maximum estimated quantities or quantities the Government commits to purchase? Will payment be based only on units actually performed, and how will Government-canceled or shortened events be handled?

A8. Quantities are firm fixed price and payment will be made for units actually performed. 2.1.1 The Catholic worship services shall start at approximately 1700 Saturday at Dam Neck Annex and 0900 at Naval Air Station Oceana chapel and estimated to last about one hour.

Schedule is subject to change; two weeks' notice of any change will be provided to contractor.

Q9. Must one uniform unit rate cover worship services, rehearsals, special services, and memorial events within each CLIN, despite their differing durations? How will events exceeding the stated quantities or expected durations be authorized and priced?

Q10. Please provide or confirm where offerors may obtain Attachment 4.03, Wage Determination, including its number and revision.

All music, supplies, and literature shall remain the property of the Chapel. All cost must be reflected in the quoted unit rate.

Q12. Please provide the anticipated rehearsal day, time, and location; expected choir sizes; and available volunteer musician/cantor support. Are the special-service quantities combined across both chapels, and could either location require simultaneous coverage?

Q13. Please confirm whether completed services may be invoiced monthly through WAWF.

A13- Confirmed invoicing is through WAWF

Q14. Quotes are due November 6, 2026, while performance begins November 8, 2026. Please confirm the anticipated award date and whether November 8 remains the required start date. Will a transition or onboarding period be provided for a new contractor?

A14. No. 8 November 2026 is an anticipated start date. Performance may shift due to award date; therefore, performance will begin at time of award.

Q15. Please identify the installation-access, background-investigation, CAC, and training requirements that apply specifically to the music director and substitutes. Given the short interval between quote submission and performance, what access arrangements will be available while onboarding is completed?
