| Per Section L.3 and L.5, RTOs shall be submitted in accordance with the techncial and cost/price quotation instructions.

| 4 | Are the formatting instructions on page 14 with page limits per proposal set (1 of 4) or are the page limits for a combined proposal with 4 sections to each volume? | Section L.1, Quotation Preparation - General Instructions | Per table, there will be three volumes that shall reflect three separate quotation submissions (Technical Quotation, Cost/Price Quotatoin, and Past Performance Quotation).

| 5 | If a Price Proposal needs to be developed for each of the 3 Representative Task Orders, is there an estimated LOE for each one or guidance on expected quantities for each year by Task Order? | Section L.5, Factor 3 - Cost/Price Quotation Instruction | Per Section L.5, "Vendors shall provide their cost/price scenario for each Representative Task Order per contract period. For example, each Representative Task Order will have five (5) cost /prices to reflect the base period and four (4) option periods. The Government will use the Vendor’s cost/price scenario for each Representative Task Order per contract period to establish the IDIQ cost/price schedule (i.e., rates). The IDIQ price ceiling will assume one Ongoing Administrative (Oversight Support) Representative Task Orders for each contract period, up to four Planning and Convening TIAC Meeting Representative Task Orders for each contract period, and three Technical Assistance Support Representative Task Orders for each contract period, and therefore, the total cost/price proposed for this assumption will set forth the ceiling amount for the awarded IDIQ contract and total cost/price proposed for this effort. Accordingly, the Vendor shall complete the Cost/Price Template (RFQ Exhibit 3 – Cost/Price Template). |
| It must be noted that the contract type is a cost reimbursement (no fee). Vendor's cost/price proposal shall be based on the vendor cost experience in performing the task order requirements. | Procurement | No Change | ||||
