SF30 CONTINUATION SHEET

The purpose of this modification is as follows:

The response to vendor question 166 has been changed to “As described in the RFP, compliance with CMMI® -SW or CMMI®-DEV Level 2 is a GO/NO-GO criteria, and as discussed in our last response to Q166, in accordance with Software Engineering Institute (SEISM) policy, acceptance can be valid ONLY if the URL is posted to SEI’s Published Appraisal Results Website (PARS), indicating that the appraisal process is finalized. If the appraisal was accepted by the SEI, but does not have a URL (appraisal sponsor chooses not to publish), evidence must be provided that the appraisal was accepted (e.g. the email confirmation to the appraisal sponsor that the appraisal was accepted). If an Appraisal Disclosure Statement (ADS) has been submitted to SEISM for review, a vendor may so notify the Government by affirmatively stating that they have submitted their ADS to the SEISM for review and consideration; in addition the vendor shall submit evidence of receipt of the ADS by SEISM, (e.g., e-mail from SEISM indicating that their artifacts have been received), and provide the requested under Volume I – Tab C of their proposal submission. Making the affirmative statement and providing the documentation will be cause for the IRS to delay making its GO/NO-GO decision for a period of 30 days, to allow SEISM the opportunity to complete their review of the appraisal documentation. Evidence of SEI®’s acceptance, as denoted by the published URL, must be received within 30 calendar days of proposal submission, or the proposal will be determined non-compliant and removed from further consideration.”
