| 15 | RFP | 55 | Para 1.7 | Reference states: All Team Members shall have a signed Teaming Arrangement (TA). TAs must be provided in Volume I, Contracting. Teaming Arrangement is not a common term used by Defense Contractors. Teaming arrangements are codified in a Teaming Agreement (TA) which can be many (10-15) pages in length. Is it the intent of the Government to have bidders include signed Teaming Agreements in the proposal? | Recommend the Government define the term and intent of Teaming Arrangement as used in the solicitation. If a Letter of Intent is adequate to show teaming and exclusivity, recommend the Government so state. | Section L0004 paragraph 1.4, Teaming Arrangements revised.

| 21 | RFP | 61 | L0004 1.0 (/) | Reference states: (l) Attachments to the Model Contract. There is no guidance of what Contract Documentation is to be inserted under Attachments to Model Contract.

Reference refers to PWS paragraph 2.5 which is the Government's table stating the number of each position to provide for each type of platform at each location. The PWS paragraph is titled "Base Year Team Make-Up & Place of Performance" . What is the Government looking for from the bidder to answer this part of Subfactor 3?
