| PWS-00-001 | 2-Oct-08 | Quality Control Plan | Is a full Quality Control Plan required to be a part of the offeror's proposal? | The RFP will be amended to coincide with the instructions in the PWS. |

| PWS-00-003 | 3-Oct-08 | Mission Capability rate | Is the direction to use 81% MC for calculating the Aircraft Availability threshold a change from the standard currently applied at Luke AFB? | The AETC Standard is not 79% and there has been no change. The AETC standard for the MC Rate for Luke FMS F-16 aircraft maintenance is 81%. |

Additionally, does the Government require full implementation within 3 months of contract start(as specified in PWS paragraph 3.1.23.5.1) or within one year of contract start (as specified in the RFP, Section L, paragraph 5.4.3)? | The PWS will be amended. Currently the TAS is not supported through the Web based system. |
| PWS-00-005 | 3-Oct-08 | Remove paragraph 3.1.6.1.1, Host Database Manager | Since the Service Provider will not be the Host activity, suggest this paragraph be stricken from the PWS. | This paragraph and Table 3.12. will be restated. Contractor will require a database representative for internal requirements. |
| PWS-00-006 | 3-Oct-08 | Award Fee Clause paragraphs | Since this solicitation does not contain an Award Fee Clause, and neither NMCM or NMCS are listed as Performance Thresholds, suggest paragraphs 3.1.12.2 & 3.1.12.3 be deleted in their entirety. | These paragraphs will be modified to remove the Award Fee references. The NMCM and NMCS is a direct result in determining if the contractor or the Government is responsible when AA is not met. |
| PWS-00-007 | 3-Oct-08 | PWS Appendix 2A and applicable AFI 21-101 paragraphs | Suggest the far right column (Mandatory applicable Paragraphs) of Table 2A-1 be changed to read "See PWS paragraph 3.1.14.4." | This paragraph will be amended as suggested. |

However, the CO has the authority to allow a successor contractor to puchase vehicles from the incumbent contractor, with credits of the proceeds back to the current contract. |
| PWS-00-012 | 3-Oct-08 | Correct title for Service Provider's quality function | Which title for the Service Provider's quality function does the Government intend to be used for this solicitation: Quality Control, or Quality Assurance? Whichever title is determined, suggest a global search to ensure uniformity acoss both the RFP & PWS. | The term QA and QC are synonymous. Most contractors prefer to use the term QC so as not to confuse their Quality Assurance with that of the Government Quality Assurance. Will consider changing QC to QA even though nothing changes in lieu of this pending modification. |

Is the Service Provider's MDSA function responsible for all MDSA responsibilities in AFI 21-101 and AETCI 21-105, or that of a subordinate squadron?

Recommend the weekly logistics report be removed from paragraph 3.1.26.2, unless there is a HQ AETC memorandum for continuing the report for F-16 aircraft. | After review, paragraph 3.1.26.1. will be amended to read "as applicable." Paragraph 3.1.26.1.2. will be deleted. |
