The document addresses questions regarding the RAFM/RAFL Sports Officials requirement, clarifying various aspects for potential contractors. Key points include the government's decision not to set aside the requirement for SDVOSBs due to being OCONUS, and that past performance under FAR Part 15 will not be considered, with evaluation based on price and technical capability per Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR Part 13). Game quantities are estimates with no minimum guarantee, and option-year price escalation for inflation must be accounted for in the firm-fixed price contract. US officiating certifications are accepted with a waiver for overseas locations, and no minimum experience thresholds are required as long as officials are trained. Lead time for base access and background checks is approximately six months, with existing DoD clearances potentially expediting the process. Invoicing currency should be quoted by the contractor, with UK VAT excluded from pricing. Compensation for late cancellations or weather delays involves payment for the first game, and subsequent decisions by officials for safety. Pre-season rules clinics are non-billable but facilities will be provided. The incumbent is Contract FA558723C0002. Specific questions regarding one umpire for softball and two referees for flag football refer to the contract requirements, and it is confirmed that there are no electronic scoreboards at the fields for either sport.
