| Section L-1.1 |
| Each Volume shall be submitted as separate documents.” However, in the table defining the contents of each section of Volume 1, it includes a column “File Name”, suggesting that each section should be saved as a separate document with a distinct file name. Can the government please clarify if Volume I should be a single electronic file, or if it should be an electronic folder with individual files for each section listed in the table? |

| Section L - Instructions to Offerors (Transition Plan); Amendment 001 Q&A (incumbent headcount); Attachment 1 / LCAT chart |
| The Government has provided an estimated incumbent headcount (84 employees) and a chart identifying the most-used labor categories with estimated hours/FTEs. Can the Government confirm whether this information reflects the current incumbent workforce supporting the effort, and will the LOE be the same on this contract?
