This amendment to RFQ 36C10B19Q0282 is to extend the due date and time.
Question/Comment
Government Response
Would the Government consider issuing a 10-day extension due to the level of effort required for submission?
The Government will extend the due date and time to April 5, 2019 at 2PM EST.
The FBO page states NAICS 541519 which is a $27.5M NAICS and also identifies this as a SDVOSB requirement, however, the SF1449 in the RFQ document Item #10 has only the SB option checked, it does not reflect a NAICS and identifies this as a $15.5M acquisition. Which is the correct set aside and size standard?
This is a SDVOSB set aisde. The NAICS is 541519 and the size standard is $27.5M. See revised 1449.
If this indeed is a SDVOSB and not only a SB, is the SDVOSB required to have a CVE certification?
Yes, SDVOSBs are required to have a CVE certification.
Is this the same opportunity as 36U10119Q0021 RFI (Event Management System Software as a Service) released with NAICS 541511 by Ray Dockery (OSDBU) through COMPASS on January 18, 2019?
Yes, this is for the same opportunity that was previously publicized.
As we see the due date is 4/4/2019 (RFP released on 4/1/2019), Did the agency already identify any specific vendor for the requirement?   It is impossible for any company to submit a quote within 3 days.
Due to this being previously publicized and the minimal documentation that is required for Phase I, the Government is confident that quotes can be submitted within 3 days.
Whether companies from Outside USA can apply for this?Â
     (like,from India or Canada)
This is a SDVOSB set aside. Companies must be a registered SDVOSB.
Whether we need to come over there for meetings?
Yes, travel is required to attend program-related meetings or conferences throughout the PoP
Can we perform the tasks (related to RFP) outside USA?
    (like, from India or Canada)
The EMSS solution must meet all VA security requirements
Can we submit the proposals via email?
No, must be submitted in VOA..

This amendment to RFQ 36C10B19Q0282 is to post additional Q & A.

No extension will be granted at this time due to program needs. The Government needs to make an award NLT April 12. Only Phase I - written quote is required by April 4. The Government will then issue a notification to advise an Offeror of the Government s advisory recommendation to proceed or not to proceed with Phase II submission.
