Questions & Answers for Solicitation W91CRB-26-Q-5006, NVD Accessories IDIQ

1. Is training annual or a 1-time commitment?

Answer: Each training would be a 1-time commitment. Any time a vendor is awarded a delivery order that requests training, they complete the training.

2. Do you allow teaming agreements with our preferred training vendor (also a small business) ?

Answer: Yes, that is allowed.

3. I didn’t see a SOW in the documents. Is the description in the body of the webpage the SOW?

Answer: The PWS is attached to this solicitation. There is no SOW for this requirement.

4. Is CMMC level 2 required for all partners (sub-prime) on the bid or just the prime?

Answer: Under the 32 CFR Part 170 final rule, prime contractors are responsible for flowing down CMMC requirements to subcontractors based on data exposure. See DFARS 252.204-7021 Contractor Compliance With the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level Requirements.

5. We noticed the solicitation requirement stating that offerors must provide the CMMC Unique Identifier (CMMC UID) issued through SPRS for each contractor information system that will process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI, and that failure to provide the UID and confirmation of CMMC Level 2 (Self) with the quotation will result in ineligibility for award.

Given these circumstances, would the Government still consider an offer from our company if we submit a quotation prior to obtaining the CMMC UID, with the understanding that the requirement is expected to be fulfilled before contract performance? Or is possession of the CMMC UID and Level 2 (Self) status at the time of quote submission an absolute prerequisite for consideration and award?

Answer: All vendors must provide provide the CMMC UID and confirmation of CMMC Level 2 (Self) in their proposal to be eligible for award. This is required IAW DFARS 252.204-7021 Contractor Compliance With the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level Requirements.

My Questions:

Are they saying that these are the helmets they have currently and need the Head/Helmet mount to work with their existing helmets? Is it possible to get a desired product SKU for each of the Head/Helmet mounts?

OR

Are the helmets already retrofitted with QD visor shields? If so is the that information available.

Answer: The PWS is written such that the requirement is for NVG helmet mounts that are compatible with the listed helmet types that already have the Quick Disconnect (QD) visor attached. The SKU information is not able to be provided.
