3. In March 2025, the prior ACASS contract was amended adding 14 hours to the Administrative Services labor category and 40 hours to the Professional Services labor category for NAVAIR.

Two long-term key personnel at ASD have been working the prior ACASS contracts developing & maintaining the survey software and writing multiple issue papers on ACASS survey results ... both are retired military aviators with Masters Degrees from the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA. Can section 7.2.2.1.1 of the solicitation have one word modified to read:
