1. There is mention of a WAC compound at Long Binh, Vietnam. Does this exist, or is this something that needs to be created?

This model has been dropped, so it will no longer be part of the exhibit.

2. Where are the Macro objects located? Will they be brought to the museum or will they need to be transported from another location?

The 2 macros will be on site. The contractor will not be required to move from another location.

3. The first paragraph on page 24 (52.212-1 (a)) to state: If a prime contractor is utilizing subcontractors to manufacture certain portions of this project, such as exhibit design or audio visual programming, then the size standard for the prime is 500 employees rather than $7,500,000. Please confirm if this interpretation is accurate.

The FAR has already clearly stated, "The small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees."

4. If the prime is utilizing subcontractors for certain portions of this project (such as exhibit interior design), will the prime still need to be certified under the NAICS code in Block 10 of SF 1449?

Yes, the NAICS code applicable to this acquisition is 541410. Offeror must be certified under this NAICS code prior to receiving an award.

5. Would you consider changing the NAICS code for this solicitation?

The Government does not intend to change the NAICS code for this requirement.

6. With regard to the past performance questionnaires required for the subject solicitation, is it possible to refer to the questionnaires that were very recently requested for Center for Military History proposals?

No, past performance questionnaires must be specific to this RFP. Any questionnaire received that was submitted to a different RFP will not be evaluated.

7. Is a site visit possible? Are we able to do a site visit of the galleries that we are proposing to work in?

The Government is trying work a site visit for all interested parties – that might or might not be possible for June 28 or other day.
