Previous edition unusable

Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the document referenced in Item 9 A or 10A, as heretofore changed, remains unchanged and in full force and effect .

Question: Is there an incumbent contractor? If yes, please name the contractor, contract #, current value of the contract and current hours billed for each labor category.

Government Response: There is not an incumbent contractor.

Question: Do you propose that the positions staffed will be 1088 hours per contract year? If only 1088 per year, do you not require a 40 hour work week?

Government Response: No, 1008 hours is the estimated level of effort for each labor category.

It is only an estimate. 40 hour work weeks are anticipated.

Question: How are you staffing these needs currently?

Government Response: The requirement is new and is not currently being met.

Question: Are the positions currently staffed and if so, do you desire the current personnel to be transitioned to the new contract?

Government Response: The positions are not currently staffed. Personnel will not need to be transitioned.

Question: Although this is a new contracting opportunity, is there incumbent staff for consideration?

Government Response: No, incumbent staff are not available for consideration.

Question: If this is not a new contract, would you provide interested vendors with the name of the incumbent contractor(s), the contract upon which services are being provided, the value of that contract, and anticipated award date and contract start date.

Government Response: This is a new contract. The anticipated award date is the end of April with a similar start date.

Question: Also, are the hours per provider the same as on this solicitation and how is the government scheduling in providers given the 1008 hours per individual provider.

Government Response: This will be a single award contract.

Question: Finally, since we cannot contract incumbents per the solicitation, may we alternatively provide you our contract information and have you share same with the incumbents so that they could contact us after normal work hours?

Government Response: There are no incumbent contractors to contract.
