The following have been added by full text:

US GOVT RESPONSES TO RFI

Solicitation Amendment 0002

These are questions (Requests for Information (RFI)) that have come to the US Government by potential bidders on this competitive solicitation. The Government’s responses are indicated by “Response”.

Reminder:

(1) Each Solicitation Amendment must be acknowledged per the instructions in the solicitation.

(2) The Government will not accept any RFI submitted after the date indicated in the solicitation.

Question (Q1): Is this solicitation for a new requirement? If not, what company is the incumbent and what is the contract number and contract value?

Response (R1): This is not a new requirement. Incumbent Contractor is SOMTEL SOMALIA LTD, Contract No. N68171-21-P-4044; Contract value: $248,160.00.

Question (Q2): On page 4-Item 3- additional information is required for each site (i.e. GPS locations) for bidders to be able to supply compliant proposals. Please provide the GPS locations for each Solicitation site where services are to be provided.

Response (R2): For OPSEC (security) reasons, GPS locations/LAT/LOG information cannot be released by Government personnel for these locations. One can locate an approximate location info using open sources, i.e. Google.

Question (Q3): Please note the Page 4-Item 4 (c) and Page 5 (c) required on-site timeframes are in conflict with the Page 4-Item 6 Security requirements. Can the required on-site timeframes be modified to state that upon compliance with the Page 4-Item 6 Security requirements the required on-site timeframes would be applicable.

Response (R3): There is no conflict identified in Item 4 (c); Item 7 (c) and Item 6 Security. This is because Item 4(c) already gives the vendor 12 hours to address deficiencies and degradation of service.

Question (Q4): If the Solicitation cannot be modified as requested in Question 3 are bidders to include in their proposal provisions for on-site personnel to maintain the circuits?

Response (R4): Refer to (R3) and make your business decision on how best to perform the contract requirements.

Question (Q5): Please revise the Page 5-Item 7 (e) vaccination requirement to add that it is optional or that bidder personnel shall be required to follow local site mask rules as vaccinated personnel and verification of vaccinated personnel due to the remoteness of the sites, vaccine availability and religious reasons can be very hard to obtain at the requested sites

Response (R5): Please refer to Item 7 (e) where it states that “the contractor employee must request an exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement in accordance with the requirements set forth by appropriate legal authority”.

Question (Q6): Please revise the equipment recovery within 72 hours prior to the end of the contract requirement, stated on Page 5-Item 8 (b), so that the requirement is either 72 hours after the termination of the contract or that bidders equipment is deemed abandoned if not removed as the bidder is required to provide services through the contract term and cannot recover equipment required to provide the services and still comply with the provision of the services.

Response (R6): Contractor is not allowed to abandon contractor-owned equipment upon termination or end of contracted requirement. Per the contract performance work statement: “Contractor shall recover/repossess all contracted hardware/equipment within seventy-two (72) hours prior to the end of the contract”. In the event US Government personnel are required to move to a different location, the contractor shall provide set up/tear down instructions to assist in seamless transfer of service elsewhere within Somalia.

Question (Q7): Please confirm that satellite service is not an acceptable technical solution for this Solicitation.

Response (R7): Satellite is acceptable at KIS and BMA Locations
