OFFEROR)

Dear (Client):

We are currently responding to the Department of the Air Force (AF), Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, Request for Proposal (RFP) FA8575-21-F-0001 for the procurement of the Repair and Return support services for classified items to support Royal Saudi Air Forces (RSAF) F-15 fleet. These services also include repair and return of unclassified items that require classified testing or have classified technical orders for RSAF F-15 C/D/S and SA components causing them to be treated as classified items.

As you know past performance has become an element of increased emphasis in the AF’s acquisitions. They are requesting that clients of companies who submit proposals in response to their RFP for the F-15 Classified Repair and Return Support Service Program be contacted, and that their participation in the validation process be requested. (Then, either include these sentences) We, therefore, respectfully request and hereby authorize you to complete the attached Questionnaire with regards to work we have performed for you, and submit it electronically.

Exchanges of source selection information between government and questionnaire respondents will be controlled by the Contracting Officer. Email may be used to transmit such information only if the email can be sent and encrypted, and must include “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104” in the subject line of the email. In order to facilitate the sending and receiving of encrypted emails, a questionnaire respondent must use MS Outlook email configured to support encryption, or, a different email product that is S/MIME compatible and configured to support encryption. If you intend to submit your completed questionnaire via an encrypted email, you will need to contact the Buyer/Contracting Officer indicated below, prior to that first submittal, in order to exchange certificates used for encryption. To ensure the process is working correctly, send a test encrypted message first (without including any source selection information). Email to: Contract Specialist, Latonya Jackson at latonya.jackson.1@us.af.mil and Contracting Officer, Angela Lynch at angela.lynch.3@us.af.mil.

Sincerely, [OFFEROR'S POINT OF CONTACT]
