2.  Provide name of the firm, point of contact, phone number, email address, Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, identify business size (large business or a small business) and if applicable, a statement regarding small business status including small business type(s)/certifications(s) (e.g., SDB, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, etc.), and the corresponding NAICS code.

3.  What percentage of work will be performed by the small business prime contractor and all similarly situated entity subcontractors?  Note: See FAR 52.219-14(e)(1) Limitations on Subcontracting (Oct 2022) (DEVIATION 2021-O0008). If your firm is interested in competing for this requirement as a prime contractor and you plan to subcontracting any of the services out, contemplating a Joint Venture, and/or creating a teaming arrangement, please provide the name of these companies and what work and what percentage of work they will be performing, if available.

"Similarly situated entity" means a first-tier subcontractor, including an independent contractor, that has the same small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award and that is considered small for the NAICS code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract the subcontractor will perform.  An example of a similarly situated entity is a first-tier subcontractor that is a HUBZone small business concern for a HUBZone set-aside.

In addition, the Contractor agrees in performance of a contract for services, it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities.

4.  Please provide information in sufficient detail regarding any relevant previous experience (indicate whether as a prime contractor or subcontractor) on similar requirements (include size, scope, complexity, timeframe, government or commercial), pertinent certifications, etc., that will facilitate making a capability determination. 

5.  Describe your experience in regard to data management systems for managing, tracking, coordinating and timely invoicing of 200+ events on a monthly basis.

6.  Identify experience with event planning OCONUS.

9.  How would industry recommend the Government establish its CLIN structure / pricing arrangement, considering the hundreds of event locations anticipated, factoring in the various event requirements (lodging, meals, transportation, and Audio Visual support)?

10. Based on the volume of rooms and meals required on an annual basis, please discuss if the Government could expect cost savings over the Government’s per diem rates. If so, how does industry suggest we seek to capture those savings during competition and then incorporate into the resultant contract?

11. How would you ensure employees are certified to meet all child care requirements? What standards other than those identified in the draft PWS have you seen regarding child care?

12. Provide information to help determine if the service is commercially available, including pricing information, basis for the pricing information (e.g., market pricing and catalog pricing), delivery schedules, customary terms and conditions, warranties, etc.

13. Identify how the Army can best structure these contract requirements to facilitate competition, including competition among small business concerns.

14. Recommendations to improve the Army's approach/specifications/draft PWS/PRS to acquire the identified services.

15. The Government may host an Industry Day in early 2025 to facilitate feedback on the initial requirement. What information would you like to see presented should this happen?
