1) In the Attachment 1 - COMBO Fire Suppression package it states, “*NOTE*: The PWS requires a level of service. It is the determination of the vendor on the amount of personnel proposed to satisfy the PWS requirements however, the required experience on the chart below must be apparent within the resumes for proposed personnel.”, however, there is no chart with the info. Can you provide chart please? It states in the PWS package, certificates of Service Contracts Mangers should be provided 5 business days after the contract is awarded so I just wanted to make sure this is not something we have to provide within Bid Offer.

This was included in error. Please reference the updated COMBO, which reflects the following:

15. The provision at 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items applies to this acquisition.
