Note to Offerors : The answers provided herein are for informational purposes only and they do not make or constitute any changes in the solicitation requirements.

Q1: We will be participating the solicitation for travel management services with the US Government's posts in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Would you be able to provide us will full data specs for the e2 reporting platform, so that we can discuss with our technology team? In documentation we have received in the Solicitation, Concur is defined as the approved OBT by the GSA. Much of the content you have supplied relates to Get There, which seems at odds with the above. Some of the documentation you have supplied dates back to the year 2000, hence the reason for our questions.

Also so you have a copy of the Third Party Contract mentioned in attachment 12, paragraph 1 for us to review?

A1: Please see the attached as I believe this will provide you with the information you need.

With regard to vendors, the GSA website refers to both vendors (http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/27096), "Current ETS2 Contractors:

1. Concur Technologies, Inc. (Concur Government Edition - a nongovernment website).

1. CWTSatoTravel (E2 Solutions - a nongovernment website)" With regard to which booking tool is being used by Department of State; both in the U.S.A. and in Australia they are using the GetThere OBE.

Also attached is the 3rd party agreement referenced in Attachment 12.

Q2: In relation to integration to e2, we are on Galileo in Australia, could you please confirm the following is mandatory:

Attachment App A Sheet – Agency Fulfilment See Connectivity/Travel Agency (TA) Information Tab for your GDS for instructions.

Note Galileo emulation requires several weeks lead time as well as a HAP document that must be signed and submitted. Once complete, a GetThere process finalizes the access on a regular schedule that is normally run every 2 weeks.

Sheet – Apollo & Galeleo Funding Data

Trip ID: The travel authorization's ID number, which is stored in E2Solutions to uniquely identify each requested travel authorization.
Galileo/Apollo: T-S3-[TripID]
Employee Number: The number assigned by a government Agency to a direct employee.
Galileo/Apollo: T-U4-[EmployeeID]
Major Customer ID: A part of your Agency's hierarchy setup in E2 Solutions (Agency > Organization > Major Customer).
Galileo/Apollo: T-U6-[MajorCust]
Minor Customer ID: A part of your Agency's hierarchy setup in E2 Solutions (Agency > Organization > Major Customer > Minor Customer).
Galileo/Apollo: T-U7-[MinorCust]
Standard Document Number
Galileo/Apollo: T-U3-[StdDocNumber]
Accounting Code Segments
Galileo/Apollo: T-U13-[AcctCodeSegs]

A2: The reporting data elements listed under Attachment App A are mandatory elements.
