Amendment 3 Answer Q & A  from Amendment 2

Q 

• Can you please confirm whether candidates must meet every minimum requirement in section 6 in order to be eligible? In other words, if a candidate fails to meet one or more minimum requirements, would that disqualify them from further consideration
• A  If a candidate is short a qualification, the source selection board may choose to rate that subfactor as ‘marginal’ and still award
• Q 

  Section 1.7.5 states "Dueto COVID-19, telework is permissible in accordance with local command and Mission and Installation Contracting Command policies." But section 1.7.4 states the contractor must be available onsite M-F during working hours. Can you please clarify the current policies related to work on this contract? Are any changes anticipated due to uncertainty around the Delta variant? As you can imagine, many candidates are very concerned with the resurging COVID infection rates and are seeking flexible working arrangements to ensure health and safety

  A  

• There is a difference between scheduled telework and teleworking due to an emergency (i.e. COVID). If the post leadership deems it necessary, 100% telework will be authorized. 

Q  Can you please share a budget range or ceiling available for these requirements to ensure offerors are proposing cost effective candidates

A  

1. We cannot release any budgetary information

Q 

• Would you please consider extending the proposal submission deadline by one week?
• A  
• We cannot extend this RFQ any further, as we risk losing funding.

• This requirement will not be extended
