ATTACHMENT 9: Vendor Questions and Government Response

1. Are you seeking a price or quote?

Government Response: This is a Request for Proposal (Price).

2. Will the RFP date be extended?

Government Response: The RFP date will not be extended.

3. Since the CVE verification is part of this section, should this document be sanitized/redacted in the sanitized copy of the technical?

Government Response: Yes – the sanitized copy should not contain any identifying data.

4. Is it correct that the Government would like us to submit 2 separate emails? One containing Volumes I, II, and II unsanitized; and the 2nd email to contain Volume I - Technical sanitized?

Government Response: Yes to both questions. Both proposals must be received prior to the proposal submission time as stated in the RFP (see block 8 of the cover page and Addendum 52.212-1).

5. Volume II Past Performance states that there is a 10 page limit. However, the Volume II instructions request that all our Past Performances be submitted on a single page. Please clarify?

Government Response: This Amendment corrects the inconsistency. The Past Performance information should be submitted on a single page.

6. The requested Compensation Plan is part of the Volume I Technical. Does it count towards the 15 page limit?

Government Response: Yes, the compensation plan counts towards the 15 page limit.

7. Is it acceptable to have compensation plan be part of Volume I technical, or is the Government wanting it as a separate file?

Government Response: Yes, the Compensation Plan as stated in the RFP, Addendum 52.212-1 shall be submitted as part of the Technical Proposal.

8. Will the Government provide a sample compensation plan?

Government Response: A sample Compensation Plan was added as an attachment in Amendment 2 to the Solicitation.
