SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

SOLICITATION AMENDMENT #0001

THE FOLLOWING ARE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS PROVIDED:

QUESTION: In Section C-3 it is requested that the Offeror "shall digest the PWS in this RFP and offer a QASP associated therewith". In Section L-C it is requested a draft QCP as part of Volume I.

After Section C-7, a draft QASP is included and adapted to the PWS performance requirements, etc.

ANSWER: These are two separate documents. The QASP is a Government authored document and the QCP, or Quality Control Plan, is a Contractor authored document that describes the quality control procedures the Contractor intends to follow, and must be comprehensive, detailed, and logical.

QUESTION: First, please confirm the RFP is referring to the same document with different acronyms (QASP and

QCP).

ANSWER: No. These are two separate documents

QUESTION: Second, please clarify what the Agency expects from the QCP requested in Volume I, with respect to the draft QASP that is part of the RFP (Section C-7).

ANSWER: The Agency expects the Contractor to come up with a Plan that they will follow that will describe the quality procedures they intend to follow in order to align with the Government’s QASP.

QUESTION: Please clarify, besides our references sending the Past Performance Questionnaires directly to the Contract Specialist, Ms. Jennifer Bassett, is it required to include these PPQ in Volume II?

ANSWER: Yes. These are two different requirements. The first, is the PPQ, to be sent to Ms. Jennifer Bassett from former employers of the Contractors. The Second is the Contractor’s report of the same or similar jobs they’ve done that are relevant to the work being requested.

QUESTION: Can the different Volumes be submitted attached to the same email? Or do request one different email for each Volume?

ANSWER: Yes. Please submit all attachments in the same email to Ms. Bassett. Also, please provide within the body of the email, a written list of all attachments included to ensure that all attachments were received.

Confirmation of receipt will be sent to you. Please be sure to keep this email as it is stamped with the date and time.

QUESTION: In Section L-A and L-B it is specified that the quotation is composed of three volumes, while in the Section L-C-Volume_III it is requested a “supplemental pricing sheet.”

ANSWER: The word “Supplemental” has been removed, and is now just listed as “Pricing Sheet”

QUESTION: First, please clarify if you expect a fourth attachment, i.e., supplemental pricing sheet in Excel format, or if you want the supplemental pricing info to be included as static tables in Volume III.

ANSWER: No. No additional attachments are necessary. Please include it in Volume III.

QUESTION: Second, could you provide a template for this supplemental pricing sheet, including any rules required for the construction of the detailed breakdown?

ANSWER: No. Please see answer above.

QUESTION: In Section L-C-Volume_III, "Representations and Certifications" are requested as part of the Volume.

In Section L-D, it is stated that "The Offeror shall complete the annual representations and certifications electronically through the System for Award Management (SAM)". Please clarify what should be included in Volume III.

ANSWER: Please fill out Section K, include it in Volume III, and also provide an electronic printout of your Representations and Certifications from the System for Award Management (SAM) in Volume III.

QUESTION: Should we fill in some of the Section K content?

ANSWER: Yes. Please fill in as much as possible.

QUESTION: In Section L-C-Volume_III, the item "2.Pricing information relating to contractor manpower reporting requirements" is stated separately. However, the Schedule B includes a CLIN for this concept.

ANSWER: This CLIN is NOT SEPARATELY PRICED (NSP). Please do not include pricing. Reporting is mandatory. The sentence in regards to this has been removed.

QUESTION: Please clarify what additional pricing information relating to contractor manpower reporting requirements is requested besides Schedule B CLINs 0002 and 1002.

ANSWER: No additional pricing is necessary. These CLIN’s are NSP. Please do not include pricing.
