Request for Proposal # N66604-18-R-1850, Amendment 01 Industry Questions and Answers

1. Question:

In reviewing the SOW, I noticed that there is a CSRS benefit that appears to be missing in section 3.2 Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS):

In the CSRS system there are 4 potential income benefits that CSRS retirees may have:

* CSRS Pension/CSRS Offset Pension

* Social Security

* Thrift Savings Plan

* Voluntary Contribution Account (this is the benefit that I did not see listed--it's unique to CSRS, not available to FERS).

Answer:

Thank you for the clarification. Please submit proposals to include any benefits available for FERS and CSRS employees.

2. Question:

Technical Capability:

(a) Can we provide you all with login credentials for a sample of the course and the link to access?

(b) May we provide our course materials as evidence of capability (which would exceed the

10-page limit)?

(a) Yes, offerors can provide login credentials for a sample of the course and the link to access, in response to RFP Attachment 3 provision UW L-2-0001 Instruction to Offerors, section 3.1(a).

(b) The Technical Proposal is not to exceed the 10-page limit.

3. Question:

GPAT:

(a) Is closed caption also required, as the training consists of a PowerPoint with voice narration?

(b) For the visually impaired, will someone be able to assist them with the login or will this need to be remotely done? Would you like an alternative, such as a CD series for home use?

(a) Yes. Refer to section 1194.22 on the GPAT template, RFP Attachment 2.

(b) Refer to section 1194.41 on the GPAT template, RFP Attachment 2.

4. Question:

Training Modules:

(a) As the training modules are only to be 30 minutes long, perhaps we can also hold a webinar once month with more in depth coverage of certain items if individuals want to login?

(b) In addition to the voice over PowerPoint, is it required to also show video of the instructor?

(a) This information may be submitted in proposal for consideration.

(b) No, this is not part of the Government requirement.

5. Question:

Timing How promptly will a decision be made?

The Government intends to award a contract within one (1) month of the RFP closing.

6. Question:

In terms of pricing, will amounts be paid per subscriber only if they login or is the contract intended to be fixed-fee regardless of users? Presumably, we would be responsible for providing marketing materials for your distribution. Please confirm.

Answer:

This is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) requirement with FFP pricing, and is not dependent upon the subscriber (user) logging in.
