SOFGSD Draft RFP Compiled Q&A 20250613

It is noted that the Government did not include a full list of the questions asked.  There were a large number of repeat questions, for which the Government provided only one version, and some questions could not be answered by the Government due to the nature of the question.  The Government attempted to provide clear and complete answers to the remaining questions.

Note that the list of SLIDO questions asked during the SOF Week SOFGSD Sidebar have been included at the end of the Compiled Q&A file.  Not all questions asked during the Sidebar were answered at that time, and the Government has not provided answers to any of these questions here.  There were no slides shown during the Sidebar, and therefore, none are attached to this notice.

Update as of 11 Jun 2025, 2:30pm

Please note: you will not receive a confirmation notice or email from registering for either in-person or virtual attendance at Industry Day.  When completing your registration, you would have been given notice on the site that you had been registered and have been shown the responses you provided to the registration questions.  If you saw this, then you can be assured that you have been registered.

<<BREAK>>

Update as of 11 Jun 2025

Currently, we have reached in person capacity for Industry Day.  No further requests for in person attendance can be accepted.  However, virtual attendance registration will remain open until June 13th.

To remove the appearance of unequal access, the Government has determined that 1-on-1 sessions will no longer be held for this solicitation.  The Government will not be providing any additional information during 1-on-1s that has/will not have been made available through means such as the SOFGSD Side Bar, Industry Day, and multiple rounds of draft RFP Q&A.  Additionally, the Government requests questions continue to be submitted through the current Q&A process to ensure all potential offerors receive the same information.  Again, all previously scheduled 1-on-1s have been cancelled.

To increase transparency, the Government will be conducting a second day of briefings that will focus on a deep dive into a sampling of core requirements and talk through some emerging requirements that may be competed under the SOFGSD IDIQ once awarded.  Since Day 2 is specifically focused on a sampling of the types of work expected; the government will not address questions on the solicitation process, scoring, or other information on the IDIQ.  Three sessions will be held on Tuesday, 17 Jun 2025 discussing different aspects of requirements that fall within the SOFGSD SOW.  No separate registration is required, and all sessions will be made available virtual. 

<<BREAK>>

Update as of 6 Jun 2026 - 2PM

The Government has received an overwhelming number of requests for 1-on-1 meetings that far exceed the available timeslots.  We are discussing options that are available to us in this situation, requesting input from leadership and our Legal Advisors.   We will provide additional information regarding 1-on-1 meetings early next week.

<<BREAK>>

Update as of 6 Jun 2025

All available 1-on-1 meetings have now been filled.  No additional times are available.
