Question 1: Factor 2 -Experience Under Factor 2- Experience we state Factor 2. Experience Submittal requirement:

Contractor shall submit a brief narrative describing your firm’s experience using Attachment B, Relevant Experience Project Data Sheet performing similar data services.

We will accept either a statement of the contractor’s direct experience or a statement of experience of any employee the contractor would hire to complete this contract. If the experience is that of an employee of the contractor, then the contractor will be obligated to use this employee to complete the contract.

Question 2: Factor 4 – Past Performance Evaluation

This Factor is specifically intended to help in the evaluation of the Contractor, not the contractor’s potential personnel. If the contractor has not completed relevant contracts in the past three(3) years, then a statement to this effect is all that is necessary. Lack of prior contracting experience will be neutrally evaluated.

Question 3:

Part a) Yes. The statement of work includes the rate of data capture expected for an entire 12 month period. Since this contract is for only 9 months, the total data capture during the 9 months of the contract should be 75% of that in the statement of work.

Part b) This was an oversight in the posting PWS. The quantity listed should have been 9.
