- Questions - Combined Synopsis/Solicitation GAO-14-N-0793 Aviation Data GAO received questions in response to Combined Synopsis/Solicitation GAO-14-N-0793 Aviation Data. Listed below are the questions and responses. Quote Submissions: All quote submissions in response to this solicitation must be submitted electronically to the Darion A. Phillips, Contract Specialist at phillipsda@gao.gov and received no later than 2PM EDT, Friday, August 22, 2014. Quotes received after the dates specified will not be considered. SAM: Any Offeror that submits a quote in response to this solicitation must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database in accordance with FAR Clause 52.232-33 prior to contract award. Registration information can be found at https://www.bpn.gov/ccr/default.aspx. Question 1: Could vendors offer a demonstration via a GoToMyMeeting session during the week of August 25th? Answer 1: Yes Question 2: For Item C of the Required Tasks list, is the expectation a working description of our processes to take raw airline data and incorporate it into our data bases? Or were you expecting a detailed listing of specific changes we have made to individual records? Answer 2: For data reliability purposes we need a description of the processes that the vendor takes to ensure the reliability of the data, these include data checks and flags. Any steps the vendor takes to alter the data to improve its accuracy or usability are essential to GAO's reliability assessment. Question 3: In Item H of the Required Tasks list, several analytical tools are listed. Could you provide examples of what tools you see would be required. Our software provides tools to select, filter and manipulate the data. Answer 3: There are no mandatory tools, to the extent the vendor can identify the tools they do provide for selection/filtering, analysis, and reporting should be listed. Question 4: You require three (3) references for the past performance evaluation. If we've provided similar work for the GAO in the past, can we include your organization, or does it have to be 3 different organizations? Answer 4: Yes - GAO can be included!! Question 5: Are there any preferences to the type of organization we provide in the past performance references? For example, is it preferred to have a federal government office as opposed to a private company or local government? Answer 5: "The RFP did not state a preference - it only stated that "offeror should submit three (3) references which reflect examples where the offeror has provided similar services within the past five (5) years. Question 6: In the Objectives on page 1, you state: "Additional aviation data, such as fleet (aircraft in service, parked, on-order, and retired) and flight performance data (flight delay and cancellation) is useful but not mandatory. " If vendors would like to offer the GAO some additional datasets that go beyond what is mandatory in the SOW is that OK. There may be additional costs, but we'll let the GAO decide if the added value is worth the cost. To provide pricing options, is it OK if we just copy the CLIN charts for each year, number the new CLINs 2, 3, etc., and include the pricing? Answer 6: This proposed action sounds reasonable and will be considered.
