THIS IS A FINAL SOLICITATION NOTICE

This notice, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Section 5.102, is posted by the General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) to announce the issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS).  HCaTS is a Government-Wide, Multiple Award, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (MA-IDIQ) solicitation using full and open competition procedures in accordance with FAR Subpart 6.1.

Any questions regarding this notification should be directed via email to hcats@gsa.gov.

Added: May 19, 2015 3:01 pm

Attached are the responses to the questions received in response to the Draft RFP.

Added: May 19, 2015 2:53 pm

The Government anticipates posting the Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) Request for Proposal (RFP) in its entirety in late June 2015; however, the Government is posting five documents, the current draft versions of Sections C, L, and M and the current versions of Attachments J.6 (Past Performance Substitute Form) and J.9 (Collection of Task Orders Confirmation Form), to allow potential Offerors the opportunity to contact their duly warranted Contracting Officer(s) and/or Assessing Official(s) in order to have them complete Attachments J.6 (Past Performance Substitute Form) and J.9 (Collection of Task Orders Confirmation Form) as necessary.

The HCaTS RFP will permit Offerors to submit Attachment J.6 (Past Performance Substitute Form) for any Relevant Experience Project if no Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) Report exists for a Federal government contract, task order or purchase order, or if the Relevant Experience Project is a Non-Federal government contract, task order or purchase order (see Section L.5.3.2).

Additionally, the HCaTS RFP will permit Offerors to submit one "collection of task orders" to count as a Relevant Experience Project.  A "collection of task orders" shall be certified by a duly warranted Contracting Officer in Attachment J.9 (Collection of Task Orders Confirmation Form)  (see Section L.5.2).

The Government is not soliciting or accepting proposals at this time.  The Government is posting Attachments J.6 (Past Performance Substitute Form) and J.9 (Collection of Task Orders Confirmation Form) to provide potential Offerors with increased flexibility in obtaining the necessary past performance ratings and/or certification.   

These attachments reference hcats@gsa.gov for Offerors, Contracting Officers and Assessing Officials to use in completing the documents.  This email address shall not be used at this time.  Potential Offerors shall continue to submit all questions to hcatsquestions@gsa.gov; however, responses to questions is at the discretion of the Government and is not mandatory.   

The Government reserves the right to change the attached documents before the final RFP is released.
