1. Can you tell me if these services are currently being performed by a contractor? If so, could you please provide the incumbent name as well as the contract number?

Response: The current incumbent contract number is W91QUZ-06-D-0012, Task Order F704.

2. Now that the Army has awarded the Program Management Support Services 3 (PMSS3) IDIQ contracts, will the government consider using this contract to avoid additional contracting fees.

Response: In conducting market research for this effort, the program management team, will review the PMSS3 IDIQ contracts to determine suitability to meet the Government’s requirement.

3. ECS Federal, LLC (ECS) appreciates the opportunity to submit an RFI response to the PD AHRS PMSS requirement. Understanding that the RFI was released using multiple methods including FBO, NIH CIOSP3, and GSA Alliant SB, we recommend that PD AHRS examine the use of the recently awarded PMSS3 as a contract vehicle of choice for the RFP release. The PMSS3 contract vehicle was put in place by Army’s PEO EIS for this exact scope of work. Using the PMSS3 contract vehicle for this acquisition will ensure effective and faster competition, with pre-qualified companies specializing in Project Management skills and quality processes.

Response: In conducting market research for this effort, the program management team, will review the PMSS3 IDIQ contracts to determine suitability to meet the Government’s requirement.

4. The file for Request for Information (instruction) is same as Draft PWS. Can you upload the correct file for Request for Information?

Response: Correct RFI documents uploaded to FBO.

5. I am with the GSA’s Office of Strategic Programs Team. We learned of your organization’s interest in a requirement for Program Management Support Services, solicitation number W15QKN-16-R-0094. It appears that this requirement is within the scope of GSA’s Alliant GWAC. Since you are currently conducting market research and assessing industry capability, we would request that you consider the Alliant GWAC program as your contract vehicle of choice. Alliant has a world class contractor pool and as a GWAC also provides a streamlined acquisition process (FAR 16.505) designed to save your agency time and money.

Response: In conducting market research for this effort, the program management team, will review the GSA Alliant GWAC contracts to determine suitability to meet the Government’s requirement.
