The Dd254 Block 1.b Indicates Safeguarding At The Secret Level? Is This Correct? answer. Yes, Because Some Of The Training Material May Be Classified Up To Secret Levels. clarification Required: Dd254 Block 1.b Is Understood By Our Industry Facility Security Officer (fso) That If Safeguarding Is Required Then The Government Is Asking The Contractor To Maintain Classified Documents At The Contractor's Facility. As I Understand The Requirement The Work Is Being Performed At Camp Atterbury. There Is Not A Contractor Owned And Maintained Facility In This Requirement At Camp Atterbury. How Is The Contractor Required To Secure, And Safeguard Classified Information In Commercial Lodging? Or, Will The Potentially Classified Documents Be Secured On Camp Atterbury By The Government And Then Accessed By The Contractor On A Daily Basis? If The Government Is Maintaining The Classified Material, Then The Safeguarding Requirement At The Contractor's Facilityshould Be "none". answer: The Fcl Is Required For The Company To Ensure That They Can Hold Or Manage The Employee Clearance. Fcl Isn’t Just For The Actual Facility. It Is Required. 10. We Are Bidding The Above Contract And Have Run Into A Dilemma. The Nte Travel Is $40,377.00. Just Gsa Lodging And M&i For The Area For 14 People For 14 Days Is: $38,059. This Does Not Include Airfare Or Any Other Things The Jtr Identifies As Reimbursable. No Rental Cars Are Currently In My Estimate. An Nte This Low Would Either: Require All Role Players To Come From The Camp Atterbury Area Which I Believe Would Be Not Possible, Or You Guys Are Providing Government Lodging Which I Did Not See In The Pws. answer: The Government Evaluated The Travel Cost And Has Increased The Nte Amount To $43,349.90. Lodging From March 8-21 Is For 13 Nights Only. Gsa States That M&ie For The First And Last Day Of Travel Will Be At A Lower Rate (2 Days). The Current Loging Rate For That Area Is $110 And M&ie Is $68, The First And Last Day Of Travel For M&ie Is $51. 11. Setting Clin 0002 (travel) To $0.00 Is Acceptable, Or If The Government Requires A Proposed Cost Under The Nte Threshold? answer: An Amendment Was Issued 2/7/2025, To Include Instructions To Offerors Regarding The Nte Amount. 12.
