Q A_15Q3002_Offsite.docx

1. Could you please provide the incumbent contract number?

This is a new requirement

2. If not, is this a new requirement?

This is a new requirement.

3. Section L, Paragraph 8, states to include a "Notation that you are SAMS compliant." Please advise if this is a confirmation that the offeror is registered in SAM.gov.

Yes, the offeror must have a valid DUNS number with an active SAM.gov account with NAICS code 721110 at the time of submission

4. Please confirm that the technical and past performance should be in one volume and price in a separate volume.

Correct.

5. Page 5 states "All postal mail will be scanned before it is delivered to this office. In order for your correspondence to be received in a timely manner, the offeror must allow sufficient time (3-4 days) to accommodate inspection by designated security personnel."

Does this 3-4 day wait time apply to Fed Ex Express or UPS Express deliveries as well?

Generally, no. FedEx or UPS Express is not scanned; therefore there is no additional inspection time. However, please allow sufficient time for delivery prior to delivery date and time.

6. Page 46, Factor 3 - Past Performance states "Offerors will have three to five (3-5) clients (companies or agencies, not individual guests) who have done business with the Offeror within the last 24 months provide past performance feedback to FSI as part of the evaluation." We have requested that customers complete and return the survey and will include contact information in our proposal; however, will offerors be penalized if customers do not send back the Past Performance Questionnaires?

The offeror may be evaluated with a lower past performance score if references are not submitted. References are required in order to evaluate the past performance of a company/offsite facility. If the offeror has zero past performance (brand new company who has never done business before), this should be stated in the past performance section of the proposal. In the event that the offeror has zero past performance, the past performance score will be neutral.
