Answer 6: Yes Question 7: Could you please clarify the required proposal submission package? Specifically, are offerors expected to submit only a completed SF-1449 and price quotation, or are there additional technical submission requirements or attachments that were omitted from the solicitation? Answer 7: This is an RFQ, not a RFP. Offerors are encouraged to submit documentation that supports their company s technical capability for this requirement. Question 8: If this is a brand-new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. Answer 8: This is a new requirement. Question 9: Is proposal submission by email authorized? Answer 9: Email is the only acceptable transmission for proposal submission. Question 10: Is funding already approved for this project, and if so, how much? Answer 10: Funding is approved.
