Also confirm whether schedule relief will be considered for Government-approved long-lead replacement components that cannot reasonably be obtained within the stated performance period. Since this is a FAR Part 15 proposal, period of performance

is. 90-calendar-day performance period will begin on the effective date stated in the written Notice to Proceed (NTP) issued by the Contracting Officer.
