Q1: Can you please clarify the deliverable date for the final report for Romania - ICT Sector Projects DM RFQ-CO201421137? The SOW states "The Contractor shall submit all deliverables under this Contract to the COR on or about May 31,2014. The Period of Performance for this Contract shall be one year from the date of the Contracting Officer's signature on the Contract." With a PoP of a year, should the deliverables be due 31 May 2015?

Answer:

A1. The Contractor shall submit all deliverables under this Contract to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) on or about May 31, 2014. Although the period of performance is one year from the date of the contractor's execution, the Contractor shall submit deliverables in accordance with the requirements of the SOW.

Question:

Q2. Also, I don't see anything in the SOW that indicates that a company that does the DM is excluded from competing for any follow on work related to the output and recommendations of the DM. Is there such an exclusion?

Answer:

A2. Please read Line Item 11 posted in the combined/synopsis solicitation on FBO states: " Contractor Follow-On (Ineligibility), The Contractor and its subcontractors shall be ineligible to compete for, as prime or subcontractor or otherwise, USTDA funded activities that result from this contract..."
