A-Yes, however it is wise to keep in mind that the solicitation references DFARS: 13.106-2 Evaluation of quotations or offers. (b)(i) See 204.7603 for procedures on the requirement for contracting officers to consider Supplier Performance Risk System risk assessments as a basis of award.
Q- Could you confirm whether DoD is requesting resumes for key personnel as part of the proposal submission?
