No
2 What was the award amount? Same response to the question 1. No 3 How many FTE's does the incumbent utilize for the current contract?
That is the incumbent contractor’s proprietary information.
No
4 How many entry/exit control points are there? There are 49 Installation Access Control Point (IACP)’s throughout Korea that will need to be manned as per a Master Post Schedule that will be submitted by the COR.
No
5 What is the average volume of daily traffic? See attachment (TE#3 Traffic Flow for Installation) for average volume of traffic for a 2 week period.
No
6 Will this be a 24 hour perimeter check for security guards?
Perimeter security checks are not a requirement of this contract. The requirements are for work at an IACP.
No
7 Are the weapons supplied by the government checked in and out on a daily basis?
Weapons will be part of government furnished equipment and will be required to be signed in and out of the respective arms rooms daily.
No
8 How many vehicles are needed or is currently being used for daily patrol?
The government does not tell the contractor how many vehicle that they need to perform their duties related to the contract. The Contractor shall provide sufficient resources including vehicles to ensure this contract requirement is in accordance with the PWS.
No
9 Is there availability for security guards to live on base? There is no ability for security guards to live on the installation.
No
10 For the site visit, will my US passport and Driver’s License be sufficient or do I need to come a few days early and see about a Korean identification card?
Site visit was conducted. No additional site visits will be scheduled.
No
11 We are a small American based company. Our company has not been in Korea as of yet. Page 74 subfactor 2 states minimum 2 consecutive years of security guard services in Korea. My question is with us not having the 2 years in Korea are we eligible to compete for this solicitation
Reference Factor A Technical Capability, Subfactor 2 Prime Contractor’s Corporate Experience- “offeror shall provide verifiable information which demonstrates the Prime Contractor has a minimum of two (2) consecutive years of experience in security guard services in Korea…”
No
12 Reference 2.6.8.1 Contract Manager (CM) worked as ACM from April 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, and I have been working as CM since January 1, 2017 up to now. I have been worked for total 33 months. We also appointed New TC on Nov 1 2018 so he has been working for three months now. Would like to know
Para 2.6.8.1 has been revised to match paragraphs Subfactor 3: Key Personnel Qualification, Element a.
Contract Manager (CM), which state a minimum of three (3) consecutive years (full thirty-six (36) months).
Yes whether we meet the qualification of criteria as key personnel in the new solicitation.
13 The MPS provided for the solicitation is including the "Waegan Pump Station" yet. My understanding is that this station will be closed as of February 8th, 2019.
There is no Post Hours Operation indication for “Waegan Pump Station” in the published MPS. The Master Post schedule is a document that changes based upon the needs of the government.
No
14 5.1.13 Contingencies. Would the Government consider implementing additional technology to enhance Access Control and Screening Capabilities at existing IACPs?
MSA Security offers SmartTech, a technology that can be retrofitted to any X-Ray machine and connects X-ray screeners to our Certified Bomb Technicians—or your command center personnel—in real-time, to provide expert threat analysis on any suspicious items encountered during the screening process to identify both explosive threats and/or prohibited items. The technology operates via a 256-bit encrypted connection and has real-time translation capabilities. The technology can be procured via GSA Schedule 84 or a FAR Subpart 51 deviation. SmartTech greatly increases the capabilities to identify legitimate threats and also reduces the possibility of an unnecessary evacuation due to a misinterpreted item.
There is no interest at this time by the government to install any type of new additional technology. If there is a need in the future, the government will conduct proper analysis to purchase equipment that would be deemed necessary to perform the mission.
No
15 How would the Government assess a JV? Would all the JV partners need this experience?
Reference Subfactor 2: Prime Contractor’s Corporate Experience- Proposals will not be considered technically acceptable if the proposal attempts to meet this requirement through the experience of Subcontractors, Joint Ventures or other types of partnerships.
No
16 Is this solicitation still active?
As we would like to respond, only a PWS was provided but not instruction for submitting a quote.
See Solicitation# W91QVN-19-R-0062 posted in FedBizOpps.
No
17 The attachment is a copy of price breakdown for the base year period.
As you know base year period will last for only 10 months as shown page 3.
But the estimated quantities for ER guard supervisor, ER SG and NER SG are showing the amount for 12months excluding CM and AGC.
My understanding is that these estimated quantities for the base year should be amended to the quantity for 10 months.
This ER guard supervisor, ER SG and NER SG under the Requirements CLINs information is given as an Estimate only and is developed to assist you with determining the amount of contractor man-hours necessary for this effort.
No
18 Para 2.6.1.1 Quality Control Plan (QCP). Is the intent of the government to have the all contractors submit a QCP with their proposal although they have not been awarded the contract? Will this QCP count towards the proposal page count?
Yes. Factor B. Management Approach, Subfactor 2.
QCP
- the Offeror shall provide QCP (See Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 Instruction to Offeror, Page Limitations)
No
19 Para 2.6.6. Post Award Conference / Periodic Progress Meetings: The paragraph does not specifically mention discussion of the QCP. When is this to happen?

No
22 Para 2.6.10. Phase-In Period. The paragraph does not specifically mention turn in/discussion of the QCP. When and whom is this to be presented to for discussion?
Para 2.6.10. does not state QCP discussion. No

No
25 Para 5.1.4. Carrying of Weapons and Ammunition. Will the government allow weapons to be carried between bases i.e. moving across civilian community with weapon while going to another base or facility?

CSG will perform their duties at the respective gate and will detain personnel as per the SOP, Use of Force, and detainment manners as prescribed within the PWS. CSG are not required to leave their post and will contact the Military Police for assistance and turnover of all personnel.
No
27 Para. 5.1.13/14/15. Contingencies and Emergencies. An emergency or in many cases contingency will not normally allow time for warning to issue modification or even determine the requirements for additional personnel.
How will the government reimburse for the call-up of additional personnel e.g. negotiate thru email/phonecon with follow-up be email/authorization to proceed?
The requirements under “Contingencies and Emergencies” are extremely rare, and have not occurred during the current period of performance for the contract in place. In the case of the need for Contingency and Emergencies services all efforts for proper task order or modification will be made to ensure accurate accountability of all services rendered by the contractor.
No

The government does provide facilities for all training outside of the Recruit Training. This training is to be conducted by the contractor prior to any new employee being allowed to work on the installation.
All other training can be coordinated to use the Education Centers or other facilities as appropriate.
Guard Mount training is usually conducted at the Installation CSG office area.
No
32 Para. 5.12. Active Vehicle Barrier (AVB) Operations.
Does always the government intend to have the AVB activated? Our experience is that these break often, the more they are used so if they are broken, what is the process to report the maintenance issue and will a different temporary barrier be available for use?
The government intends for the usage of AVB at all times. In the event that the AVB is not operational, the Area COR needs to be contacted and appropriate work orders will be submitted.
