RFP W15QKN-25-R-0004

Industry Question Set 1

Question 1

I have been unsuccessfully trying to get into Attachment #0002 of the subject solicitation. I have no trouble opening any of the other attachments.

USG Response: The inability in opening the attachment is due to the sensitivity markings in the document info. The sensitivity markings in Attachment 0002, titled “Contract Quality Requirements” has been updated. Attachment 0002 should open without any issues and will be included in a forthcoming RFP amendment.

Question 2

On page #141 of the solicitation (para L.2.3.1a) it requires a signed and completed paper copy of the proposal. However, in para L.2.3.1b it specifies the proposal “shall be submitted through the “Solicitation Module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) suite at https://piee.eb.mil/.

Proposals submitted by mail or hand carried will not be evaluated”.

Please clarify If a paper copy is required, who and what address does it go to?

USG Response: We are no longer accepting paper copies; references to paper copies is an oversight on our part. Section L will be updated in a forthcoming RFP amendment.

Question 3

When the amendment is updated, will the required proposal return date be included on page #1? Our understanding is that the announcement in SAM isn’t the official date, only the solicitation can dictate the different elements of the solicitation.

USG Response: Unless the RFP is formally amended to extend the response date, the response date in Solicitation Module in PIEE and SAM.gov has not changed. All proposal submissions are due Monday, 28 April 2025 at 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time.
