Change Reference Paragraph

1 Will NGB accept SF 330 submissions developed using the current SF 330 form edition in Microsoft Word and saved to a final Adobe PDF, instead of starting with the Adobe PDF template provided on the GSA webpage?

This provides the same information, but allows space to satisfactorily respond to the solicitation requirements.

Using a Microsoft Word template allows for:

1. Multi-page Section E resumes (in the GSA Adobe form, resumes are one page and only allow for 1-2 sentences on each project under Block 19. Projects described under Block 19 typically require 3-4 sentences each to adequately explain scope of work detail.)

2. Multi-page Section F project sheets (in the GSA Adobe form, Block 25 takes up 1/3 of the page and often not all lines are utilized – leaving less space for the project scope of work to be described in detail.)

3. Complete contract numbers to be provided in Section F Block 21 (in the GSA Adobe form, the character limit is capped. This does not allow for entering of complete contract/task order numbers which can be up to 26 characters.)

4. Multi-page Section H (in GSA Adobe form, there is only one page provided to respond to all Section H requirements noted in the solicitation.)

5. Addition of sequential page numbers, as required by solicitation (in the GSA form, there are page numbers already listed – adding a second page number to meet solicitation requirements could confuse reviewers.)

Example templates following the GSA format and meeting the most current requirements have been attached for reference. Complete SF 330 submissions our firm has supplied to Department of Defense clients can be submitted as examples of end products, if desired.

Firms may attach additional sheets as needed. The Synopsis/Solicitation posting remains unchanged. C

2 The solicitation states, “SF 330, in Adobe format and the most current edition (https://www.gsa.gov/forms-library/architect-engineer-qualifications), must be used..” Does this mean firms may only use the fillable form to be compliant with the solicitation? Or, may we use a different software to produce the SF 330 in an Adobe

PDF?

Firms may attach additional sheets as needed. The Synopsis/Solicitation posting remains unchanged. C
