This amendment answers questions regarding Solicitation No. N02CM77004‐16.

1. Can the government please provide the level of effort (LOE) for the project?

Because this is an IDIQ contract, the government does not provide a level of effort. For this RFP, the programmatic ceiling is estimated to be $5,000,000. The programmatic ceiling is the combined maximum value of all awards issued under this RFP. When submitting proposals, please submit cost estimates for Sample Task Order Compound #12 and Kick‐off Task Order #1.

2. Can the government confirm the 5‐yr period master budget should be based on the Statement of Work (SOW) in the Attachments pdf?

A 5‐year master budget is not required. Overall budgets for the base period are not required for this RFP; however, supporting cost documentation (e.g. salary costs) should be submitted for the entire period of performance.

3. Can the government clarify if the full 5‐year budget consisting of one base year and 4 one year options need to be provided on the NIH 2043 Breakdown of Estimated Costs based off the SOW referenced in Attachment to RFP?

Please refer to the response to Question #2. Also, because this is an IDIQ contract, the five‐year base period does not consist of any options.

4. Can the government please confirm the master and sample task orders are to be bid as Cost

Reimbursement? (CR)

Sample Task Order Compound #12 should be proposed as cost‐reimbursement. The task order for the kick‐off meeting, Task Order #1, should be proposed as a firm‐fixed price task order.
