# Industry Questions Government Response

Does this sources sought represent a re-compete or is this a new requirement? Is there an incumbent? If so, who is the incumbent?

The sources sought continues work started under a cooperative agreement;

RTI is the incumbent

The first paragraph of the sources sought notice states, "AFDW/PKA is issuing a sources sought as a means of conducting market research seeking sources for randomized controlled trials to access the effectiveness of tailored tablet-based Sexual Assault Prevention Interventions contract in support of Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office." Is the intent to test the effectiveness of already existing tablet-based SAPR applications using methods outlined in the RTC sample task section and to make recommendations and improvements upon the tablet-based SAPR application? Does the scope of work contemplate new or further development of tablet-based SAPR applications?

The scope includes completion of the interventions currently in development, testing of those interventions, and development of an additional intervention (female perpetration prevention)

Paragraph 6 of the sample tasks document states, "The contractor shall provide USAF with a summary of baseline results. For example, the summary should include the number of individuals who consented to participate, the number receiving each intervention, and demographic characteristics of the sample." Can the government clarify what demographic characteristics they wish to be included in data collection?

Sex, gender identity, race/ethnicity, and age.

Paragraph 4 states, For 6 and 12 month follow-up assessments, the contractor shall offer an incentive to participants to complete the survey after their duty hours." Does the government have guidance on what sort of incentive will be offered?

No, not at this time. The government is still reviewing incentive options as it relates to the requirement.

Do you have an anticipated level of effort for this requirement? For example, how many FTEs are required to perform the requirements?

Yes, but it is up to the prospective contractor to develop their projected amount of FTEs for the solicitation.
