1.6.4, Hours of

Operation

The Government does not require contractor services on "Federal holidays or when the

Government facility is closed due to national emergencies, administrative closings … or similar Government-directed facility closings." Many posts observe 10 Training Holidays in conjunction with 10 Federal Holidays. Does the Soldier Support Institute observe 10

Training Holidays each year? Are these 10 Training Holidays included as times when i i d?

The 10 Federdal Holidays listed in the PWS are the only holiday's observed.

The civialian workforce does not observe Military Training Holidays. Fort

Jackson is a TRADOC Installation.

5.1.1, 5.2.1, 5.3.1 Each of these paragraphs describe an "orientation period" for Instructors, Writer-Developers, and Multi-Media Specialists respectively. Among other things, this includes "staff and faculty training." This could include the Army Basic Instructor Course (ABIC) and other

TRADOC mandatory training that may or may not be required depending on each employees background and experience. Will the Government confirm this orientation period includes accomplishment of TRADOC mandatory training on an as-needed basis that is required for

Confirmed. Individuals assigned to instructor positions will be required to successfully complete the Common Faculty Development Program-

Instructor Course which replaced ABIC and FIFC. Individuals assigned as training developers must complete the Developers Course. Both courses are offered by the SSI Staff and Faculty Development Branch. Contractors are responsible to fund their training.

Technical Exhibit

3, HR and FM

Workload data

The exhibit does not provide a schedule of courses. Without a detailed schedule derived from the Army Training Requirements Resource System (ATRRS), Offerors cannot see where courses overlap or where they must provide coverage for multiple sessions of the same course simultaneously. Further, there is no data on the number of Government or Active Duty instructors available to teach. Will the Government provide this additional data to support an accurate estimate of the required contractor level of effort to support Instruction?

The schedule of courses is not needed as the requested staffing levels in the first table is the minimum number of additional instructors (beyond government, both military and civilian, instructors) needed to conduct the scheduled amount of courses this year. The instructor requirement is for

MOS 42A AIT - HR Specialist and 1 instructor requriement for Postal

Operations courses. The leadership of the respective schools will schedule instructors to cover the gaps in scheduling of government instructors.

Technical Exhibit

3, HR and FM

Workload data

The estimated instructor staffing levels provided in the first Table is significantly different from what one would calculate from the workload data. For example, the HR Speciialist

Course, 500-42A10 has 134 classes which each require an instructor. With no other data related to the course dates or Government Instructor levels supporting this, the Offeror would need far more instructors than the nine estimated to support all Instructor requirements for both HR and FM. Will the Government clarify this disparity?

The requested staffing levels in the first table is the minimum number of additional instructors (beyond government, both military and civilian, instructors) needed to conduct the scheduled amount of courses this year.

The request includes MOS 42A AIT and 1 in Postal courses. The leadership of the respective schools will schedule instructors to cover the gaps in scheduling of government instructors.

PWS 5.2, Writer-

Developer Tasks

This paragraph includes the statement, "The Instructor/Writer-Developer roles are broken out to delineate the tasks associated with instruction and writing-developing." None of the exhibits provide workload data related to Training Development. There is no description of curricula, courses, or lesson plans to be developed. Will the Government provide workload data to support an accurate estimate of the level of effort required to accomplish Writer-

Developer tasks?

The estimated staffing levels of Training Developers spans across the

Human Resources (15 courses/app. 2500 academic hours), Financial

Management (12 courses/app. 1500 academic hours), and Staff & Faculty courses of SSI and represents the additional CME manpower required given current government shortages. Specific deliverables, such as curricula, courses, and lessons assigned will be provided based upon priorities and requirements during the period of the contract.
