W15QKN-21-R-0ER7 Questions and Answers
1.) The Technical Description section in the White Paper Content requires a brief technical overview of the effort’s objective, approach, and level of effort. To ensure we provide the appropriate level of detail, could you confirm whether the Source Selection committee includes Technical Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who will be reviewing the White Paper? This will help us tailor the technical content to the committee’s expertise, balancing depth with clarity.
USG ANSWER: SMEs will evaluate White Paper
2.) It is understood that only one White Paper can be submitted in response to a Topic Area. However, can separate but similar White Papers be submitted in response to multiple Topic Areas within the same BAA?
USG ANSWER: Yes, preferable one White Paper per each topic.
3.) Can detail be provided as to the lifecycle timeline of award? Once a White Paper is submitted and if deemed Very Relevant or Relevant resulting in a request for a Research Proposal, how long, typically, from White Paper submission to Award?
USG ANSWER: White papers will be evaluated in accordance with Solicitation W15QKN-21-R- 0ER7. The Government cannot provide a timeline for award at this time.
4.) The page count instructions are clear but just want to confirm: The 5-page limit consists of the
Technical Discussion, Identifying Support needed, and Cost portion. The Cover Page and one page Addendum are not counted as part of the 5-pages. Is that correct?
USG ANSWER: Correct
5.) Can graphics be included as part of a White Paper and if so, do they count towards the 5-page limit?
USG ANSWER: Correct …. they count.
6.) Our company is considering a submission to the Emerging Technologies BAA (W15QKN-21-R- 0ER7), but we wanted to confirm that there is still funding available before we submit a white paper.
USG ANSWER: Funding information is not available for release; however, we can confirm the solicitation is still open and submissions are being accepted and reviewed. As stated in the solicitation, prospective offerors are encouraged to contact the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) listed in the solicitation for determining whether a proposed effort meets the solicitation guidelines.
