About this file
This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document addressing inquiries regarding a federal contract solicitation for bilingual support services at US Army Garrison Fort Buchanan.
The contract seeks part-time, flexible staffing support (not a full-time single resource) to deliver bilingual services in both English and Spanish, with Spanish language capability being a required qualification. Services will be performed exclusively at US Army Garrison Fort Buchanan with no travel requirements anticipated. The estimated start date is May 3, 2026, with a one-year base period (May 3, 2026 – May 2, 2027) and four one-year option periods extending through May 2, 2031. The contract is a non-personal services agreement with funding commensurate to current market rates; the previous contract with STX Insights LLC held an annual value of $8,412. Subcontracting is not permitted. Work involves a variable schedule requiring availability for Sunday children's church services (9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.), Thursday Bible studies (5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.), and holiday/evening/weekend support for special event preparation. The contractor must provide at least primary and secondary staff to mitigate availability risks. All required background checks and security clearances must be completed before performance begins, with no work permitted prior to full clearance. Specific credentials, experience requirements, scope of work, deliverables, performance standards, unit structure pricing methodology, and evaluation factors are detailed in referenced sections of the Performance Work Statement and Technical Exhibits.

10. Level of Effort: Can you confirm the expected number of hours per week or annually for this requirement? See 7.3 Attachment 3/Technical Exhibit C – Estimated Hourly Workload Data Per Year
11. Unit Structure: Section 5 references work measured in units. Can you clarify how units translate into total workload and whether they are intended to be used for pricing purposes? See Part 5. When a UNIT is discussed, the amount each unit equals in parathesis.
12. Work Schedule: While the PWS indicates a variable schedule, can you provide an estimated breakdown of weekday versus evening/weekend support? The PWS indicates a variable work schedule that is not a typical 9-to-5, Monday-to-Friday role.
Section 1.4.4 explicitly states, "Workdays and hours will vary according to the approved Calendar of Events...Many of the tasks will require holiday, evening, and weekend hours."

13. Staffing Model: Is this requirement intended for a single full-time resource, part-time support, or a flexible staffing approach? The requirement is intended for a part-time, flexible staffing approach rather than a single full-time resource. The low annual workload and the statement that this is not a "traditional fulltime...work environment" (Section 1.4.4) support this. The contract is a non-personal services agreement focused on accomplishing the specified tasks.

7.1. Attachment 1/Technical Exhibit A – Performance Requirements Summary
15. Travel Requirements: Should offerors anticipate any local or off-site travel under this contract? No travel is anticipated under this contract. Section 1.6.5, "Place of Performance," states that all services will be performed at US Army Garrison Fort Buchanan. Furthermore, Section 1.6.16, "Contractor Travel," is marked as "RESERVED," indicating that no provisions for travel have been made.
16. Onboarding Timeline: Given the background check requirements, is there an anticipated timeline for clearance and start of performance? The PWS does not specify an anticipated timeline for the clearance and start of performance. It does state that the required background checks will be initiated by the Government after the contract is awarded and that an employee must "successfully complete the required screening and preliminary investigation BEFORE working under this contract" (Section 1.6.10.4). The duration of this process is not estimated in the document. The RSO will work with relevant organization to ensure that required background checks are done timely.
17. Security & Clearance: Can performance begin prior to full clearance being completed? No. Does this requirement require a facility clearance (FCL) for the contractor? See Section 1.6 in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). If so, what level is required? See Section 1.6 in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

If so, can you provide the current contract number, incumbent contractor, and current contract value? The expired contract information is as follows:
