See responses to recently asked questions below:

1. Is the MADe Software Suite being procured as a sole-source/brand-name-only requirement, or will equivalent products with comparable modules be considered for award? See solicitation description.

2. Are the 3 base user licenses assigned to specific named individuals, or can they be reassigned/shared among government personnel during the license period? Ideally these should be floating licenses that can be used by any approved user up to three simultaneously.

3. Is the MADe software cloud-hosted (SaaS) or does it require local installation, and if so, are there specific OS, hardware, or network requirements the licenses must support? MADe software is a client application that is installed locally.

4. What is the anticipated period of performance start date for the base year, and is there a required delivery timeframe after award? ASAP (preferably within the next 30 days or sooner).

5. Could the Contracting Officer provide the proposal submission instructions, response deadline, and evaluation criteria that will be used for award? See solicitation description.

6. Is there an incumbent contractor or existing license holder for this software, and if so, is this procurement intended as a renewal or a new competitive award? Intended to be a renewal of a previous multi-year contract for this capability.
