CLIN XX11, Travel; CLIN XX12, Deployments

Amendment 0003 added PWS Paragraph 3.1.1.6.6.5 stating that "The SP shall support deployments as authorized by the CO to perform aircraft recovery, servicing, inspections, maintenance and launch of dispersed aircraft in accordance with Clause B-4." Clause B-4, Cost Reimbursable CLINs (XX11, XX12), states that "Effort required and perfomed under the cost reimbursable contract line items in support of this contract will be requested and executed by the Administrative Contracting officer (ACO). After performance, purchase and/or payment by the service provider, the Government shall reimburse the actual costs incurred."

This seems to conflict with PWS Paragraph 3.1.11.14. Off-Station Recovery, which states that "Travel and per diem costs associated with aircraft maintenance off-station support shall be included with the cost of this effort and will not be paid under the Travel CLIN(s) in Section B."

1. Will the Government reimburse the service provider for travel and per diem costs authorized by the the Contracting Officer to perform off-station aircraft recovery? 2. If so, which CLIN will the service provider use to receive reimbursement?

Cost associated with off-station aircraft recovery shall be included in CLINs X002, X003, X004, and X005. Cost associated with deployments shall be negotiated prior to performance and shall be paid on using CLIN X012. The Travel CLIN X011 is reserved for employee training as authorized in PWS. Government will give prior approval for all training.
