QUESTION ANSWER

Q1.

The synopsis/solicitation states that the contractor must have, at a minimum, level C1 German Language skills (pg. 3, 8.a) but the PWS states that the contractor must have German language knowledge at the C2 level (PWS 1.10.a). Can the Government please confirm which qualification is correct?

The Contractor must possess German language knowledge at the C2 level.

Q2.

If quoting in Euros, what is the conversation rate the Government will use?

For FY 23, the Government use a fixed rate of 0.9381.

Q3.

Given the recent rapid changes in the Euro/Dollar exchange rate, when and how often will the government adjust the conversion rate?

Please see answer above.

Q4.

Quality Control Plan Q1. Does the Government want a management structure physically located in Europe?

From a customer's stand point, it would be preferred, but not required.

Q5.

Quality Control Plan Q2. Does the Government want a contractor representative that shall be available by telephone or email from 0800 hours to 1700 hours Central European Time?

From a customer's stand point, it would be preferred, but not required. However, not having a contractor representative available during our opening hours will hinder communication when we need a quick answer on coverage. Such as when a contractor is absent and a backfill must be provided for example at 0800. If we have to wait until the afternoon to contact the contractor representive, we will not get a backfill for that day and this could cause serious hardship on us.
