- Description
- This notice and the due date for prequalification information are hereby extended to 03 FEB 2011. All additional Questions MUST be submitted, in writing, no later than 27 JAN 2011 or the Government may not be able to provide an answer prior to the closing due date and time. Questions and Answers (cont.) submitted from 20 DEC 2010 through 20 JAN 2010 (Offeror questions are posted EXACTLY as written unless the brackets: [] are used to clarify or protect identifiable information): Question 5) How will the USACE verify the Top Secret Clearances for the contractor employees that are submitted in the pre-qualification response? Answer 5) The prequalification information will be reviewed by a Federal Government security agency, external to USACE, and it does not intend to "clear" anyone during that phase. Question 6) How will the USACE verify active clearances without requiring the contractor to have an active Top Secret Facilities Clearance? Without the active TS FCL, a company cannot hold clearances for any of their personnel despite individual eligibility meaning the status of all employee clearances would be inactive or dormant if they are currently active employees of a company without a TS FCL. Answer 6) The Government will verify clearances through Government databases. The requirement has changed to a Secret level Facilities Clearance (FCL) is required for the company. This corrects Answers 1 and 3 as previously posted on 22 DEC 2010. The requirement for Key Personnel has likewise been changed from Top Secret to Secret level. This corrects Answers 1, 2, 3, and 4 as previously posted on 22 DEC 2010. See "REVISION 1 of the Pre-Solicitation Notice" at the end of these questions and answers. Question 7) In lieu of the SF328, is it acceptable to provide the documentation as directed by DSS certifying that we hold the necessary facility security clearance for this work? Answer 7) No, any existing FCL is for a different project/contract and location and, changes may have occurred since (and if) the last SF328 was submitted. A SF328 must be submitted for a submission to be considered complete. Question 8) We hereby confirm that [Company Name] has the capacity and the capability to perform the required services on the Pre solicitation W912GB-11-R-0022. Please note that [Company Name] has also confirmed its interest on the www.fbo.gov. Could you please confirm if USACE will consider [Company Name] for this business opportunity? Answer 8) There are specific instructions with submission requirements posted on the FBO announcement. I cannot confirm that the Government will consider [Company Name] if you do not follow the instructions posted. Please ensure you read the entire announcement and all amendments to the announcement.
