1. Q: Does the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation under solicitation number SOL-OAA-16-000063 contain requirements similar to a current contract? If possible, please provide the current contract number. Or, is this a new requirement for the government?

2. I had a quick question about the above solicitation. In Appendix 2, Section A.5, the solicitation notes that "Applicants for PSC positions will provide evidence of their PSC and/or USG direct-hire service...on their signed and dated application form required under USAID policy," (page 17). Will completion of OF-612 fulfill this requirement, or is other evidence necessary to demonstrate previous PSC and/or USG experience? If other evidence is necessary, could you please provide examples?

A: The Information provided on the OF-612 will be used as evidence of the applicant’s PSC and/or USG direct service. The work Experience section on the OF-612 should be detailed enough to provide evidence for this requirement.
