Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document consolidates questions and answers from Request for Information (RFI) submissions related to the CFM A/E IDIQ opportunity. It clarifies aspects of the SF 330 submission and other solicitation requirements.

• SF 330 Resumes: Only the 13 key positions listed under Criterion 2 require SF 330 resume submissions. Resumes for Attachment A positions are for fee proposals and not for SF 330 evaluation. Additional positions may be requested at the Task Order level.
• Dual-Hatting: While not prohibited, dual-hatting (one person fulfilling multiple key positions) may not be evaluated as favorably as dedicated personnel.
• Attachment A Personnel: Resumes for the 13 positions under Criterion 2 are required; providing resumes for all Attachment A personnel is not necessary for the SF 330 evaluation.
• Submission Formatting: Use of the GSA.gov fillable SF 330 form is recommended but not mandatory. Offerors may use their own format if it mirrors the standard form and meets all requirements.
• Proposal Due Date: The due date has been extended to 3:00 PM EST on February 26, 2026.
• Recent Experience: "Ended" refers to the completion of A-E contract or task order services, not construction completion. Substantial completion of A/E services is not acceptable.
• MATOC Value & Period: Each basic IDIQ contract within the MATOC has a 5-year ordering period and shares a $790 Million capacity.
• Joint Ventures: JV managing partners must be SBA-certified as SDVOSB. A firm participating as a JV prime cannot also be a subcontractor to another prime.

Several clarifications will result in forthcoming amendments, including revisions to evaluation criterion 2 regarding experience and certifications, and adjustments to font size allowances for tables and graphics. The due date has been extended. The definition of "recent experience" has been clarified. The structure for the AE Program Manager role is also being revised.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) intended for clients to evaluate an Offeror's past performance. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Construction & Facilities Management (CFM) uses this form as part of the evaluation process for an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under the national healthcare Architect and Engineer (A-E) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC).

Section 1 (Contractor Information): Requires the contractor to provide details about the offeror being evaluated, including name, address, point of contact, work performed, and prime contractor (if a subcontractor).

Section 2 (Evaluator Information): Requires the client/evaluator to provide their information and describe their role. It then prompts for detailed feedback on the contractor's performance across seven categories:

1. Quality
2. Schedule/Timeliness of Performance
3. Communication
4. Management/Personnel/Labor
5. Cost/Financial Management
6. Subcontract Management
7. Summary (Would you hire again? Overall rating)

Adjectival ratings (Outstanding, Above Average, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, Not Applicable) with definitions are provided for the evaluator's use.

This questionnaire is crucial for bidders as it outlines the specific performance areas the VA CFM will assess. Bidders should understand that their past performance, as evaluated through this PPQ by their clients, will be a significant factor in the award decision for the A-E MATOC IDIQ contract. The completed PPQ is to be returned to the Offeror for incorporation into their SF330 submission. Bidders should ensure their clients are aware of the submission due date for the SF330, as referenced in the solicitation.
