Attachment 0003 - Solicitation Questions.xlsx

This is a Solicitation Questions and Answers document for Information Resource Center (IRC) Support Services at Rock Island Arsenal under solicitation number W519TC-26-Q-A166, issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal. The document addresses two key questions from prospective offerors regarding security clearance requirements and contract continuity.

The primary requirement clarifies that offerors must possess an active SECRET Facility Security Clearance at the time of proposal submission and prior to commencing any work on the contract, in accordance with Performance Work Statement Section 1.6.7. The Government will not sponsor successful offerors for security clearances post-award. The second question-and-answer entry indicates this is a follow-on opportunity to the current contract W52P1J-21-C-5012, suggesting contract continuity and an established baseline of services. An amendment to the solicitation extended the deadline to August 12, 2026, and included responses to these offeror inquiries.
