| If vendors chose to use this form (including the Total Price Chart), should we include this chart into our Technical Volume or a separate, stand along Costing Volume? |
| You do not need to include the Total price chart only but you do need to include the Combo form with your signature on page 6 |

| Training for 250 military personnel over the course of 5 days, 15-19 July 2024. |
| Since Tier 1 – ASM is a one day course, can the Government confirm this assumption is accurate? We assume that the selected vendor will deliver an ASM course each day between 15-19 JUL for a total of 5 courses, with each course having on average of 50 students (50 x 5 = 250)? |
| Yes, the contractor shall train 50 people at a 1:10 instructor to student ratio for the 5 days |
| If this assumption is accurate, will the Government have flexibility in the 1:10 Instructor/Student ratio, meaning it’s possible one class may have 45 students and another have 55 students, thus requiring 5 or 6 instructors respectively? |
| Yes we will have flexibility with the class size |
| Alternatively, would the Government please confirm that 50 students is the maximum, per course delivery. |
| We are flexible with the maximum amount of people in class per day as along as it’s a 1:10 ratio not to exceed 1:15 of instructor to student ratio |

Certification
1) Please confirm that the government does want each student to get a certification.
Yes every student will need a certification as the UDM requires it before deployment
ASM Cert
2) Please confirm that all personnel will get the ASM cert and that there are no Medics in this group.
There is no medics in the class. The customer needs 250 airman to have a Tier 1 certification and nothing more.
1:10 ratio question
3) Would the government accept a lower ratio of 1:6 instructor to student ratio? In order to be in compliance with and issue a cert from NAMET they require a 1:6 ratio. Additionally at 1:10 we do not believe that the students get enough personal attention and they are left with a lot of down time waiting for practical application training.
The Government will conform to any ratio lower than 1:15 as long as the contractor can have all 250 personnel trained withing the 5 day time frame

Evaluations
| According to the SBA and the DoD Small Business Office, CPARS and Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) are to be evaluated at the same level. Therefore, we will be submitting PPQs as attachments to our bid in lieu of CPARS for past performance data in which CPARS do not exist. |
| PPQ’s are acceptable |
| Are we providing class VIII consumables? |
| No, we don't plan to provide any consumables |
| Do you know if any of the 250 students for the TCCC are medics? |
| None of the students are medics and only require Tier 1 training. |
| Is it the intent of the government to have 50 students attend the training each day for a total of 250 students after the 5 days? |
| That is the intent but we are flexible with the number of students per day. |
Does the government want each student to be provided with a student handbook?
No, the students don't need a student handbook but study materials that can be reviewed post-training would be useful
| What facilities will we be using to teach in? In particular, how many students can comfortably receive instruction? And will it have Audio Video equipment available for use in those classrooms? |
| For the location, we are looking at either OSS auditorium, theater, or using one of our tents for the academic’s portion with the hands on training outside and Yes, we will have audio and video equipment available |
| What are the planned workday hours for 15-19 Jul for scheduling? Should we plan on a standard 0800-to-1600 time block for us to work within the dates? |
