About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document (Amendment 0001) for RFP N00421-26-R-3005, the NAWCAD WOLF ASI Secure Executive Network Software Support (SENSS) contract. The document addresses four key clarifications issued on April 23, 2026, regarding proposal submission requirements and labor hour specifications.
The Q&A clarifies that contractors must have an active Top Secret Facility Clearance Level (FCL) in place in sufficient time to meet personnel clearance requirements outlined in the Statement of Work, paragraph 3.2.3, rather than merely being in process of obtaining one at proposal submission. The Government removed the requirement for contractors to obtain written confirmation of electronic proposal receipt from the NAWCAD Contracting Office, streamlining the PIEE submission process. The Government corrected the total labor hours for the entire work effort from 723,880 hours to 796,828 hours, with Attachment 17 (Government Labor Hours) containing the accurate figure. Additionally, the Government confirmed that three previously unlisted labor categories—Technical Writer I (SCA 30461), Technical Writer II (SCA 30462), and Warehouse Specialist (SCA 21410)—must be included in cost proposals, and an updated Statement of Work has been incorporated into Section J reflecting these additions.

Questions & Answers
| ID | RFP Reference | Questions | Response |
| AMD 0001 (Q&A #1) | |||
| 1 | Attachment 01, Statement of Work, paragraph 3.2.3 | Does a contractor need an active top Secret Facility Clearance Level (FCL) at the time of proposal submission? If a contractor is currently in process of obtaining but does not have it at time of proposal submission, would the contractor still be eligible to submit a proposal? | FCL of Top Secret is required to obtain the required personnel clearances. The requirements and timeframes associated with the personnel clearances are listed in Attachment 01, Statement of Work, paragraph 3.2.3. As FCL is required for the personnel clearances, the FCL must be in place in sufficient time to meet the required timeframes listed in Attachment 01, Statement of Work, paragraph 3.2.3. |
| 2 | Attachment 18, Section L, Part A, Paragraph 4.1.2 | Attachment 18, Section L, Page 4, Paragraph 4.1.2 states "It is the Contractor’s responsibility to obtain written confirmation of receipt of all electronic files of the TO proposal by the NAWCAD Contracting office." Given that Offerors will be submitting their proposals via PIEE, would the Government consider removing this requirement? Otherwise, please provide instructions for obtaining confirmation to include deadline to request confirmation and how to proceed if confirmation is not received prior to the due date and time of the RFO. | The Government revised Attachment 18, Section L, Part A, Paragraph 4.1.2 to remove the requirement, "It is the Contractor’s responsibility to obtain written confirmation of receipt of all electronic files of the TO proposal by the NAWCAD Contracting office." |
| 3 | Attachment 18, Section L, Part C, Paragraph 3.5.1 | Attachment 18, Section L, Page 16, Paragraph 3.5.1, Labor Hours states "The Government estimate is 723,880 hours for the entire work effort, inclusive of all options"; however, Attachment 17, Government Labor Hours, indicates that the total labor hours are 796,828. Please clarify the correct labor hours for the entire work effort. | The Government has revised Attachment 18, Section L, Part C, Paragraph 3.5.1, Labor Hours to 796,828. Attachment 17, Government Labor Hours correctly reflects the total labor hours to be 796,828. |
| 4 | Attachment 01 Statement of Work | Attachment 17, Government Labor Hours, includes hours for Technical Writer I (SCA 30461), Technical Writer II (SCA 30462), and Warehouse Specialist (SCA 21410); however, these labor categories are not included in Attachment 01 Statement of Work. Please confirm whether these labor categories are to be proposed within our cost proposal. | An updated Attachment 01 Statement of Work, has been incorporated into Section J and provided as an attachment. The hours for labor categories Technical Writer I (SCA 30461), Technical Writer II (SCA 30462), and Warehouse Specialist (SCA 21410) are to be proposed within the cost proposal. |
