- Description
- To enhance our final solicitation request, please provide answers to the following questions: 1. Do you believe the Statement of Objectives is sufficiently clear to allow for a concise proposal response and realistic roadmap/schedule to be developed to achieving these objectives? Are there sections that you feel are weak and need more/better clarifications? If so please identify. 2. We have provided SOO Attachments that contain supporting details we believe will help define our current environment, processes and procedures, and notional ideas of the required data warehouse. Do you feel this information is useful in designing a solution? If no, please explain why? Do you believe additional information is warranted? Please explain what is missing and the value it will add if provided. 3. Please review the draft solicitation, particularly the constraints, which we provide in Attachment 2, the SOO. Please discuss in detail any constraints or conditions that you view as potentially problematic or have the potential to disproportionately increase the price of the services we are requesting. Provide an explanation of why a particular constraint or condition presents a challenge and suggest an alternative recommendation you think presents less of a challenge and still meets our desired outcome. 4. We are contemplating and will consider making a single award (a single provider or a teaming effort). Please comment on our proposed approach and identify any implications and describe the risks and rewards associated with such an approach. 5. We wish to allow vendors flexibility in defining the structure of their offers, while still maintaining comparability among offers. Please review the pricing instructions in the draft solicitation (Section B), and comment on whether our form and structure provides you sufficient flexibility to define the elements of a solution in a meaningful way that will be manageable over the life of the contract. 6. Please provide any additional comments on the draft solicitation that you think we should consider to ensure a healthy competition among prospective offerors and to provide prospective offerors with the necessary information to effectively develop a response to this solicitation. 7. We would like to restrict the size of the proposal packages we receive to ensure an efficient evaluation. Please comment on whether the number of pages allowed in Section L is sufficient to enable a complete response to the solicitation. 8. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). The corresponding Small Business Administration size standard for this NAICS code is $25.0 million in average annual receipts. In these terms, is your company a large or a small business? While it is not mandatory that offerors provide responses to these questions, we are interested in industry comment on this draft solicitation and encourage you to submit comments and question. We will consider your comments and questions when finalizing the solicitation. However, we will not disclose any comments and questions that are submitted, except as required by FAR 15.201(f). Please send your comments and questions on this draft solicitation to HCDW@OPM.gov. via email. We listed the Contracting Office and email addresses above in this synopsis. Your response to this request is due no later than 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, on January 15, 2011. We provided technical data and background information relevant to the RFP in Section J of the draft. Place of Performance: OPM Headquarters, Theodore Roosevelt Building (TRB) at 1900 E Street, NW, Washington, DC 20415 Duration of the Contract Period: A maximum of six years if all option periods are executed Delivery Schedule: To be determined by the offeror We anticipate issuing the final solicitation on or about May 25, 2011. Proposals will be due on or about July 8, 2011. An additional opportunity for questions will be offered. Our award decision will be based on a best-value determination: All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, will be significantly more important than price.
