Questions and Answers from 03 February 2025

1. In the PWS, the POP is listed as 9-20 March 2025. Para 2.1 states there will be 3 phases: Coordination, Scenario Rehearsal, and Scenario Execution. But para 2.1.1 states that the coordination date will be on 19 March 2025.

-Can the government confirm that exact days of each of these 3 phases?

-And also, are all role players required to be present for the Coordination/Synch days/phase?

-And also the total days each role player will be required to be on site?

Answer: The Role Players just need to be available starting for training on the 9th. The coordination and scenario rehearsal will take place during the POP.

2. Regarding para 2.3 Tasks, can the government confirm if the role players will be performing as the interrogators conducting interrogations? Or will they be the subjects of the interrogations?

Answer: They will be the subjects. That is a typo, it should be performing as interrogatees being interrogated.

3. Are the role players required to have an active DoD security clearance? If so, at what level?

Answer: This is in the PWS and the DD254. All must have a secret clearance.

4. If the role players are required to have a clearance, can the government confirm that the awardee will be required to have the commensurate Dod corporate facility clearance?

Answer: Yes, this is a FAR requirement and a security requirement.

5. Will the government require a separate role player coordinator/site lead to be present? Or can this role be performed by one of the 14 role players?

Answer: It can be performed by one of the Role Players.

6. Will the role players all require a separate means of transportation to get to exercise venues? Or will they all be working at one location of general area?

Answer: It will be the responsibility of the Role Player to get to the training area. There is only one training area.

7. Will the role players be required to have special clothing? ie. U.S. or foreign military uniforms, or foreign national clothing?

Answer: No

8. Will the government consider adding/providing a travel plug that all bidders would use for covering travel, lodging, per diem, etc for role players and coordinator? This would create a level playing field for all bidders and would better ensure the highest quality intelligence role players from around the country for the government, by taking the travel costs out of the award competition.

Answer: The contractor shall provide the costs estimated to meet the PWS in the way they view best meets the technical requirement. If that means a contractor needs to submit for travel then they should submit for travel.

9. Is the Government sponsoring the initial Secret FCL per the DD254 in the attachments or is it assumed that the Contractor will have a pre established Secret FCL prior to submission of their proposal?

Answer: No, the contract shall have pre established Secret FCL prior to submission of proposals.
