1 Performance Requirements Solicitation Is the in-person facilitation of classes firm in the contract or is there a possibility of virtual sessions?

The Wyoming National Guard's preferred method on training is 'in-person'; however, the contractor shall accommodate a virtual medium (as described in the BPA agreement) to perform training if needed.

2 Performance Requirements General Is this a recompete for an existing contract and/or is there an incumbent who is currently providing these services? This is not a recompete nor any current incumbent.

3 Performance Objective Solicitation We did not see any mention of travel costs and how those will be handled. Are travel costs to be reimbursed as pass through as an ODC per the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) or should we include these costs in the firm fixed price?

Travel will be included in the contractors quotation, and the contractor will abide by all Regulations.

4 Personnel In attendance Solicitation

We did not see any mention of a separate line item for sourcing a facility local to Cheyenne, WY. Should we include these costs in the firm fixed price

Page 1. of the solicitation will tell you where the courses will take place.

No need to "source" a building. The Wyoming National Guard will use its own facility.

5 Performance Objective Solicitation Could you provide any more detail or preference on the duration of the courses (1/2-day, full day, multiple day, etc.)

Most are 1/2-to full day expectations dependent upon instructor's material.

6 Performance Requirements Solicitation Will separate BPAs be issued for each of the different categories listed in the HRO BPA Contractor Training Courses Worksheet (Leadership, Interpersonal Skills, Microsoft Applications, Federal Technician Retirement)? Or will there potentially be up to 6 different BPAs awarded with each of them addressing all disciplines/courses?

It is anticipated that no more than 6 BPAs will be awarded with each of them addressing all or some of disciplines/courses.

7 Performance Objective Solicitation Are contractors required to bid all courses or is bidding a subset of courses allowed?

Page 2. of the solicitation allows for the "subset" or partial courses to be quoted on.

8 Performance Objective Solicitation Do you anticipate any of the course deliveries being done as instructor-led, synchronous, virtual offerings? Or will all deliveries be done in person?

The Wyoming National Guard's preferred method on training is 'in-person'; however, the contractor shall accommodate a virtual medium (as described in the BPA agreement) to perform training if needed.

9 Performance Objective Training Courses Worksheet

On the Excel Course Listing, course #1 and course #6 are both titled “Leading Teams: Achieving More Together”. Are they duplicates or is there another course title that should be in one of those rows?

Course #6 "Leading Teams: Achieving More Together" was a duplicate and has been deleted.

10 Performance Objective Solicitation What is the expected course length, (e.g.,) 4 hours, 8 hours? Most are 1/2 day but a few could be longer. Expectations dependent upon instructor's material.

11 Performance Objective General Is there a possibility that courses will be clustered so that two topics could be facilitated within a reasonable time frame, (e.g.. courses 1-3 days in a row, or is the schedule based totally at WYNG's needs?

WYNG needs are paramount to allow for additional time to accomplish their tasks. However, if it is more beneficial, multiple classes could be combined into one presentation. I can see 2 half day classes being combined into one day for convenience of the instructor.
