• We would like to know if travel is a requirement for this position. We would like to know if it is expected to be priced and following what parameters.

• We would like to know if a cell phone and its associated service should be part of our pricing proposal. Position is expected to have access to a phone and a computer.

• What specific equipment will be required for the SME? (i.e., vehicle, communications equipment, etc.)

Computer and phone.

• Page 20, paragraph (f) (1) states that contractor personnel will be processed through the deployment center designated in the contract, or as otherwise directed by the CO, prior to deploying to ensure that all deployment requirements are met. However, there is no mention of the location of the deployment center. For pricing purposes, what location should be used for the deployment center? In processing will be done in Colombia.

• Will the SME live at a US Government facility or will the contractor need to provide living accommodations? Should daily per diem also be included in the pricing or is this up to the contractor when living on the economy? SME will need to provide their own lodging. No government lodging afforded, nor per diem.

• On page 31, there appears to be two SME positions listed as “key” - Contract Manager and on-site contract employee. Are these rotational positions or will both SMEs be required in country at the same time? In addition, there are only 2080 hours identified for the first year, is that split between the 2 SMEs?

The requirement is for one person. The SME position, shall work 40 hours/week.

• What is the acceptance criteria for the deliverables (attachment 1 – page 45)? Please pay close attention to the Special Qualifications or Certifications listed in FAR 52.212-2.

• On page 28 – it says that Domestic and International Travel is anticipated – for pricing purposes can you tell us if this will just be a cost reimbursable item or will we need to price the anticipated travel? Can the government please clarify what travel is anticipated in order to price appropriately? Travel CLIN shall be added.

• Our company currently does work for the Department of State (under a domestic program), does that qualify our company as being vetted by the US Embassy in Colombia? The individual presented by the prime contractor will need to be vetted by US Embassy in Colombia.

• Page 41, section 4.6 talks about the contractor’s vehicle needing to be registered with the Government of Colombia and section 4.6.1 states that all vehicles are the property of the Government of Colombia – is the vehicle GFE or CFE? Vehicles are separate to the SOF SME contract and are not GFE or CFE.

• On page 43 (and page 46), the Contract Manpower Reporting requirements state that all contract labor hours required for performance of services under this contract will be submitted under this secure data collection site and that the contractor is required to completely fill in all required data fields, but on page 28 under the Type of Contract, it states this a is Fixed price type contract. Usually fixed price contracts don’t require reporting of all labor hours. Can you please clarify? Requirements of DFARS 252.225-7040 will need to be met.
