| 1 | Is this a new or a follow-on effort? If so, can you provide the incumbent contractor's name and contract number? Thank you! | This is a new effort. | |||
| 2 | Would you kindly confirm if this is an entirely new effort or is there an incumbent currently providing these services? If so, would you please provide the incumbent contract details? | This is a new effort. | |||
| 3 | PWS | For the work we are describing under this Sources Sought, is there an incumbent contract related to this work? | No. | ||
| 4 | PWS | General | Are you currently planning to release any associated RFP as a small business set-aside? | We have not determined this yet. | |
| 5 | PWS | 2.1.1.4 | 3 | Refers to “Case Studies” as a defined term, but no additional information is provided regarding this deliverable. Will the Government offer additional guidance on Case Studies? | Yes. |
| 6 | PWS | 2.1.1.6 | 4 | Refers to the “Lab Website”. Will the Government provide screen shots or otherwise make the Lab Website available to offerors to improver understanding of the requirement? | See provided Weblink under 13.0 Applicable Publications. https://www.commerce.gov/oam/lab |
| 7 | PWS | 2.1.3 | 5 | Provides the requirements for Cost and Program Analysis. The section uses “cost” presumably as defined in FAR 31. Will the Government offer details on Commerce’s use of cost-type contracts to be serviced under the proposed solicitation versus firm-fixed price contracts? | Contract type will be determined once acquisition strategy has been developed. |
| 8 | PWS | 7.0 | 10 | Identifies the Hours of Operation as 8am to 6pm. While the Government may expect contractors to be “on call” to perform labor hours, will the Government clarify the expected hourly commitment per day for work under the proposed contract? I.e., is a contractor expected to invoice for eight (8) labor hours per day per contractor? Or, does the Government expect a contractor to invoice based on labor hours performing services, i.e. 3 hours? Second, will the Government describe in greater detail the Labor Hour billable hour? That is, will labor hours be invoiced as one full hour, thirty minute increments, six minute increments? | The Hours of Operations is merely a reference point for when business on this contract is expected to be conducted by the contractor. As of now, there is no formal contract type established since this is a Sources Sought notice. Additional information/clarification on this topic will be established once a formal RFP has issued. |
| 9 | PWS | 12.0 | 11 | Refers to a “task order”. Please confirm anticipated contract type. | We have not determined this yet. |
| 10 | PWS | 14.0 | 12 | Imposes the requirement for a non-disclosure agreement. We expect the resulting contract to include service contract reporting in SAM. Will the Government consider releasing a non-disclosure agreement for review to ensure contractors are able to report required data under the applicable FAR clauses? | This is under review and will be addressed in the potential RFP. |

| 17 | PWS | 5.0 | 9 | Ref: "Occasionally Contractors may need to travel on site at the Department of Commerce, Herbert C. Hoover Building".
