8. In Exhibit H, Security Management, in basic year at Luke AFB the Area Security Monitor CLIN 008AB monthly qty matched the Security Management/Support CLIN. However in the out years they do not match. Option year 1 is 6 months, year 2 through 4 is one month quantity. Is this a typo or are they asking for a security monitor for only one month? The same is true for Holloman AFB.

Response: The Area Security Monitor will be phasing out of Luke AFB (Exhibit H) to Holloman AFB (Exhibit M). The base year will be 11 months at Luke AFB.

Change will be in forthcoming amendment.

Response: Section L.4.3 is titled “Teaming Arrangements and/or Letters of Intent,” and is applicable to teaming arrangements only. Past Performance Information pertaining to subcontractors is addressed in Section L.3.2.3.
