QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question & Answers

1. Can you please confirm that the instructor does not have to be physically present at the various sites listed, but rather, available to those sites via Microsoft Teams.

ANSWER: Presentation will be conducted via Microsoft Teams; no travel necessary. Some sites are overseas and time difference must be taken into consideration for audience.

2. Does the training need to be tailored to the two groups? Or are you requesting the same training to be given and separating due to rank?

ANSWER: The training does not need to be tailored to the two groups. It can be the same training, but the trainer has to have an understanding that they are talking to two different audiences and different types of questions/comments may come up.

3. Will the customer allow any required online training before the actual MS Teams meeting(s)? In other words, the participants go through a 60-minute online training program at their own time before the MS Team meeting. The MS Teams meeting would then serve as a follow-on discussion that specifically addresses the learning objectives.

ANSWER: No, we don’t know if advance who will be participating in our workshops and won’t be able to track who does/does not take the pre-training.

4. On page 9, para 3.6.1.2, is it a requirement that the speaker have 5 years’ experience providing presentations for DoD, or that they have 5 years’ experience in suicide prevention speaking and some experience speaking with DoD

ANSWER: Both would work.

5. Will an individual with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology (mental health) be acceptable as a substitute for: 3.6.1.1 Suicide Prevention training?

ANSWER: No, the trainer will need to demonstrate that suicide prevention training has been provided to large audiences.

6. RFQ requests segments of video presentations. Is this only training presentation videos or can videos be interviews?

ANSWER: Video of the training the contractor provides is required to be submitted. If interviews are part of the training, we would like to see how it is incorporated into the actual suicide prevention training.

7. Under 3.6. Can work with the veteran population in veteran policy development to stop suicide count towards experience?

ANSWER: Yes.

8. Will Navy accept an additional trainer to monitor the MS Teams private chat line during training?

ANSWER: The contractor shall propose a solution that demonstrates how the requirements specified herein will be met. The Government will evaluate and award to the quote/offer that represents the best value to the Government.

N0040621Q0157

9. How does the Navy define "close out services" and what information will be provided to AbilityOne that warrants release of information?

ANSWER: AbilityOne’s contract already contains an NDA. They provide administrative support related to close out (i.e. payment searches, confirmation of contract completion, etc.). The contracting officer reviews all final products prior to closing out the contract.

10. 3.5.3 Keynote speaker/trainer presentations shall have verifiable and positive references from at least 5 Navy or other DoD services. Will Navy provide a neutral rating to staff that is highly qualified in education/experience?

ANSWER: Quotes will be evaluated based on all requirements requested.

11. 3.5.5. There is a grammatical error that states "...same consistently and quality..." Should this not be

..."consistency and quality..."?

ANSWER: Yes.
