QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS # 1

The following are answers to questions received from potential offerors. The answers provide clarification only and DO NOT constitute an amendment to the solicitation.

1. Pg. 172 note says “Narratives shall be no longer than 10 pages in length… total for elements 1 through 6.” Is the intent not to exceed 10 pages per element or 10 pages for all 6 elements? Do foldouts and attachments count toward the total page count? Is there a page limit for element 7?

ANSWER: Narratives shall be no longer than 10 pages in length total for elements 1-6 combined, this includes attachments. There is no page limit for element 7. This answer will be incorporated into the contract in a forthcoming solicitation amendment.

2. Just to double check, can you confirm that the TAGS RFP Solicitation Number: N32205-16-R-

3100 is a 100% small business setaside? It does state that on the FBO website, but I don’t see anything in the actual RFP that confirms this.

ANSWER: N32205-16-R-3100 is a 100% small business set-aside. Refer to RFP clause 52.219- 6 Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside Nov 2011, incorporated by reference on page 116.
