a. Provides responses to questions submitted via incorporation of Attachment 7 “Questions & Government Responses”.

b. Incorporates the revised Performance Work Statement (PWS) via Attachment 2. The PWS was revised in Section 4, incorporating the following statement at the final sentence: “The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with any specific commercial or other licensing requirements necessary to conduct business in countries within the AOR.” CENTRALLY MANAGED AFRICAN CELLULAR SERVICES (CMACS) COMBINED JOINT TASK FORCE – HORN OF AFRICA (CJTF-HOA) This Solicitation is to support CJTF-HOA’s requirement for cellular services within the CJTF-HOA Area of Responsibility (AOR).

These cellular services are enabled through the provisioning of various tools, such as Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Cards, expendable and reloadable prepaid phone cards (e.g., Minute Cards), and cellular service plans. This requirement also provides the incidental administrative, technical, and logistical support to manage the multiple local service providers within the AOR. CJTFHOA’s AOR spans multiple countries throughout the Eastern Africa region, each with diverse commercial capabilities and constraints.

This requirement provides for central management of this diverse network of commercial cellular service providers, enhancing CJTF-HOA’s ability to rapidly enable cellular services at the speed of the mission. Given the unpredictable tempo, quantity, and nature of these requirements, it is anticipated that this requirement will be fulfilled via multiple award Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs).

The Government intends to make award to each and all qualifying Offerors, as this will provide efficient competition for future Orders and optimum coverage for the various products/services and locations required under the Solicitation. The maximum cumulative value of BPAs issued under this Solicitation shall not exceed $1,000,000. See attachements for full details.
