QUESTION 1: We are not an SBA, does this mean we cannot reply? Could reply to a section of this request and still be considered. I was thinking just a proposal for data analysis.

RESPONSE 1: The above referenced solicitation is being procured using full and open competition and is open to all sources. This solicitation is not set-aside for small business. The Government intends that a single award will be made for all required work.

QUESTION 2: After reviewing the information, it’s not clear the size of the user community that would need access to the data management system. Can you provide additional details?

RESPONSE 2: NIST will have approximately 10 to 15 users who will be interacting with the software on a daily basis, and an additional 15 to 20 users who will be interacting on a more limited basis.

QUESTION 3: We are potentially interested in the subject RFQ, but we have a question. The RFQ forms do not have a provision for services yet the SOW clearly calls for services work. In what part of the RFQ does the government expect the contractor to list services costs?

RESPONSE 3: A firm fixed price is required to be submitted which will be inclusive of service costs. The Contractor’s price quotation can include all service costs.

QUESTION 4: There is currently a small business requirement that the Offerer must have an employee size standard of less than 500 employees if the Offeror is furnishing items for which it did not manufacture itself (Section 3, item A, page 16-17). Can this be removed?

RESPONSE 4: The requirement in question is considered when a solicitation is 100% set-aside for small business.

Given that this procurement is being competed using full and open competition, the requirement is not applicable to this solicitation.

Descript: The above referenced solicitation is hereby amended to respond to questions submitted.
