- Description
- The purpose of this modification is to incorporate a revised SOW, revised BOM, and provide questions and answers submitted against the RFQ. Closing date remains Thursday 16 August 2007 at 2:00 pm EST. Please contact Alice Jeffres at alice.jeffres@gsa.gov for the revised SOW and BOM. Questions: 1. Section 3.0 Quality Assurance Plan for Attachment 1 (McAfee IntruShield) The Government will assess contractor performance by 100% of contractor response. Compliance with the performance standards is dependent more on the response of the manufacturer, McAfee, who is delivering the support, rather than the contractor. How is acceptable performance standard defined (per incident, average over evaluated period, etc)? How are penalties assessed for not meeting acceptable performance standards? Response: Unacceptable performance will be notated on contractors past performance assessment rating. A consistent pattern of not meeting the standard time line could result in termination of contract. 2. Section 4.0 Deliverables. Besides billing information itself is there any other required information to be provided in the monthly billing report deliverable? Response: Section 4.0 Deliverables is hereby deleted. 3. Section 6.0 Period of Performance. Solicitation states that all maintenance invoices must be billed in arrears. The manufacturer requires the contractor to pay for the full period (1 year) in advance. Please consider permitting the contractor to invoice for the full period of performance in advance, instead of monthly in arrears. Response: The Government cannot pay for services in advance that they have not received. Billing can be monthly or quarterly. 4. Attachment 1. Grant Number specified is inactive in the McAfee system. Please provide current Grant Number. Response: The correct Grant Number is 1453555-NAI
