The following are answers to questions received from potential quoters under RFQ N62387-15-T-9005

1. Please clarify if the price proposal should be submitted in the same electronic file as the technical proposal. Or, should the submission of the price proposal be in a separate file?

Answer: The price proposal can be submitted in the same electronic file as the technical proposal as long as the pages can be separated to allow for evaluations.

2. Can you please clarify the incoming mail per day, per week and annual volumes? Also please provide mail volume by day for the past 12 months. The requirements currently states 1000 to 2000 per day.

This is a very broad range.

Answer: Incoming mail per day is, on average, 254 per day, 1,270 per week and 66,010 per year.

Volume by day for the past 12 months is 66,010 incoming mail received. The PWS has been updated accordingly.

3. Amendment 2 Question 9. States: Since classified tasking will be required (possibly from day one), please confirm that contractor personnel must have Personal Security Clearance to at least the SECRET level at time of award. Since a contractor with a Secret Facility Clearance cannot submit an employee into Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) to receive a secret clearance until the contractor has an awarded contract number. Will the government consider amending paragraph 10.0 Security to read “ that after contract award, the contractor will not receive a Notice To Proceed from the contract officer until all personnel have received a National Agency Check Investigation for the level of SECRET.”?

Answer: The government cannot change this requirement. Contractor personnel must have Personal Security Clearance to at least the SECRET level at time of award.
