21. If the BOM is being regularly monitored for obsolescence issues, are the issues identified mitigated?

22. Notwithstanding the previous two questions, what is the offerors overall assessment of the current obsolescence health of the design. Specifically, are there any known obsolete parts or predicted DMSMS Issues whose resolution should be included in the contract at award?

23. Does a list of items which are or should be proactively monitored exist and does the offeror recommend that it be used on this contract?

24. Does the system contain any subcontractor managed privately developed Non-Development Items (NDI) which do not meet the FAR definition of a commercial item and how will these Non-Development Items (NDI) and their parts be proactively monitored for DMSMS Issues?

25. Does the offeror anticipate any intellectual property rights issues with the periodic delivery of a DMSMS BOM which shows the actual manufacturer and p/n)?
