• Site Visit before SOW?

  Is it possible to have a site visit before putting the requirements for a SOW together? Basically, the vendors would need to see the doors or hinges necessary to do the work, which would allow the gov

  @joel hoffman Thanks for the response, as well as all others. My response wasn't regarding any clause, but the fact that I could state in the solicitation that "subcontracting will not be accepted" an

• Subcontracting

  Thanks [@Retreadfed](/u/retreadfed) for the information. You're basically saying that it's the CO's decision to mark those clauses regarding small business and subcontracting and if I don't then it's

  Thanks for the information [@here\_2\_help](/u/here_2_help) @C Culham @joel hoffman. Yes, it will be entirely awarded outside the US. Those clauses, as mentioned in your statement @joel hoffman, if it

• Subcontracting

  I'm up very late, but I have a question. Is it possible to remove subcontracting requirements from the solicitation, if the requirement is for overseas work? As I'm aware, FAR Part 19 is not mandatory

• Contract signed in one fiscal year but won't begin in another

  My question is, if you sign a contract on September 30th, but the work doesn't begin until December of 2024 or January of 2025, is that violating the bonafide needs rule? I know we always approve cont

• Contract Period of Performance Dates

  Is it possible on an FFP contract to have the base year as May 1st, 2024- April 29, 2025 and have the Option Year 1 start on May 1st, 2025? This would be skipping 1 day in April of 2025? Any rules aga

• When to draw the line on questions from vendors?

  My point is, do you need to provide the information or simply state that it's public information. This doesn't necessarily pertain to the solicitation at hand. [@Retreadfed](/u/retreadfed)

• When to draw the line on questions from vendors?

  There's one vendor who is asking for the incumbents award information. This vendor is asking for the Contract number, the vendor who was awarded, along with the award amount. Even though this is publi

  Is it possible for a vendor to request an abstract of offerors, even if the award wasn't made under FAR Part 14.403(b)? The vendor is requesting information regarding previous contracts and SOW. Can t

  Thank you @Jamaal Valentine for the detailed information. I guess doing a J&A would satisfy CICA.

  I have a requirements contract that has a min and max stipulated in the contract, but we're getting close to the maximum listed and we need to increase the max. Given that this is a requirements contr
