1) The POP is only good for 6 month period?

Answer: Yes only a 6 month PoP.

2) Is Hardpoints required. Chart in PWS shows yes required however specifics in the PWS does not call out Hardpoints. Request clarification:

4.4.1.1 Base Contract PoP 1 April 2018 to 29 September 2018 with delivery of aircraft as follows:

4.4.1.2 One (1) C-208B EX Caravan aircraft configured with requirements 1.4.1 through 1.4.5 delivered No Later Than (NLT) 1 April 2018.

Answer: No hardpoints required for this aircraft during this PoP.

3) We have a C-208B with G1000 avionics available for lease. Would this be an acceptable substitute airframe?

Answer: Yes, a C-208B with G1000 could be an acceptable substitute as long as the sensor, mission system and software were correct.

4) Would the customer would accept other types of aircraft to answer the RFP. For example, a King Air 90’s and King Air 200’s that we believe could provide the same type of support, just dual engine.

Answer: No, other types of aircraft would not be acceptable to the customer for this PoP.

5) Has a contractor performed similar work to this for the government in the past? If available, please provide the incumbent contract number. If you are unable to provide a contract number, is it safe to assume this is a new requirement for the government?
