Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to questions received during the Question Period for Solicitation W912CM-26-Q-A013.

• 613A Applicability: The 613A letter does not apply to this solicitation as it is a new contract requiring the contractor to provide their own personnel. Consequently, sharing current employee compensation packages is not applicable.
• PM and APM Availability: The Project Manager (PM) and Assistant Project Manager (APM) are required to be available by phone and email. On-site support is not required.
• Contractor-Supplied Vehicles: Contractor vehicles are not mandatory but must be supplied by the contractor if needed to complete any work specified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).
• Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs): Only 2 FTEs are required, as stated in the PWS, despite Attachment 1 indicating 3,471 estimated hours.
• Facility Clearance: While the company awarded the contract is not explicitly stated as requiring a facility clearance, contractor personnel performing work must possess an active personnel security clearance at the Tier 1 certification level in the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) at the time of proposal submission and maintain it for the life of the contract.

These clarifications provide specific details regarding personnel requirements, vehicle usage, and security clearances, which may impact bidder proposal preparation and understanding of the PWS.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides the only question asked during the Pre-Solicitation Notice of PAN409-26-P-0000-027298 and its response.
