Question 37: The most recent USAF IFT FBO posting states the RFP is anticipated to be released in Oct 2015 with a synopsis released approximately 15 days prior. Please confirm this timing is remains valid.

Answer 37: The RFP is anticipated to be released approximately late Oct/ Fall of 2015. This date is approximate and subject to change.

Question 38: The synopsis planned to be released 15 days prior to the RFP, provides little time to analyze the document(s), provide questions/inputs and permit the Government time to update the RFP document(s).
