About this file
This document contains questions and responses regarding solicitation number W564KV-22-R-0005 for European Theater Telecommunications Services. The solicitation seeks commercial circuit and telecommunications services for voice, data, and internet connections at U.S. Army sites throughout Europe. Services include E1 VOIP and E1 PRI circuits, IP internet access, legacy analog services, and a web-based account management portal. The account management portal must allow for change management requests and reviews, invoice reviews, and usage and invoicing reports. Customer service support for U.S. Government agencies is also required. The document addresses questions from offerors seeking clarification on location details, a request for a pricing extension which was denied, and the ability to submit pricing for Italy only which is not allowed as proposals must include pricing for all areas. An open version of the circuit listing Excel file without pricing was provided for reference.

Solicitation Questions and Responses
Q1: In the published Excel table with the individual lines and connections, in some cases a location A with exact address is given but no exact location B. However, in order to provide accurate prices we need an exact location B. Is it possible to get this location for the circuits?
A1: For identified circuits where no Site B location is provided, the connection is a regular business internet connection. Where the spreadsheet identifies a Site B location, that is a point-to-point circuit connection where each end of the circuit is identified.
Q2: Furthermore, we would like to ask for an extension of the processing time. Since this is a large tender with many sub-aspects, and we would like to provide the best possible offer for the end customer, an extension would be very helpful to us.
A2: At this time (10 May) the Government does not intend to extend the solicitation closing date due to the timelines required to replace the current contracts.
Q3: We wish to ask if we can submit pricing only for Italy.
A3: The Government will make a single award for telecommunication services – commercial circuits. To be considered for award, proposals must include pricing for all areas. It is not possible to submit pricing for a single area only.
Q4: In the Excel document of the RFP, in some cases we are not able to identify the information in different fields due to the defined formatting of the document. We are not allowed to change this format or to scroll up and down in certain fields. So these information is missing. Is it possible to provide the open Excel document just for the working process to see and get all needed information?
A4: An open version of the Excel document listing the circuits will be uploaded to the RFP posting at SAM.gov. The pricing sections have been removed, but it is now possible for offerors to see all of the information that might have been previously obscured in some of the cells. The document is titled: “List of Circuits - Open Version_No Price Inputs.” This document is for reference purposes only. This document is not to be used to submit pricing. Each offeror’s price proposal must be submitted using the document “Exhibit C Price List.”
Q5: The customer location “AA013: 92655 Grafenwöhr, Bldg 2505” in Table “NETCOM Funded” cannot be clearly identified. Contractor asks the customer to mark the locations on a site plan.
A5: The building is in the same area as the Grafenwöhr Thrift Store. That is as detailed a response as can be provided.
