This is to confirm that the subject solicitation that was posted on FBO on 09/29/09 is considered to be the final solicitation. Also discussed the SF33 needs to be Amended to add the Issued date (Block# 5) and the Due date (Block# 9); and, since there is no Rating in Block# 1 that DPAS does not apply to this solicitation. Could you please provide me with the due date for our proposal?

The solicitation package for this acquisition was posted on FBO as a solicitation (request for proposal) on 29 September 2009 under posting number FA7000‐09‐R‐0059. This solicitation is not rated (reference block 5). Please refer to the details provided in the solicitation package in response to your question (reference RFP, Section L, Subsection

2.11 and 2.12). A subsequent RFP amendment will follow to incorporate the content of the answer discussed herein.

2 I see a discrepancy in Section L pertaining to the Past Performance volume. Table 2.2 does not provide a maximum page count or maximum number of citations, but refers to paragraph 2.10.

Paragraph 2.10 also does not provide either page count or number of citations, but refers back to Table 2.2. Can you please clarify the maximum page count for the past performance volume, and/or the maximum number of past performance citations?

Table 2.2 does provide a maximum page count as follows: Table 2.2, Row 9, Column 5 states, "Page count limited to the hard copy print outs generated from the PPI tool described in Section L, Sub‐section 2.10". Section L, Sub‐section 2.10(d) states "d) Past Performance Information (PPI): Offeror’s must use the past performance information tool located at...Hard copies of the pages generated from this tool shall be used in the hard copy of the past performance volume subject to the limitations outlined in this RFP and should be Tab 1 of the past performance volume. The page count is limited to that described in Section 2.2 of this document for the printout generated by this tool..." Section L, Subsection 6.2 states, "Submit information in accordance with Attachment 10, Past Performance Information (PPI) on six (6) recent contracts that the Offeror considers most relevant in demonstrating its ability to perform the proposed effort; at least two

(2) must be from the Prime Contractor. Include rationale supporting..." Attachment 10 was provided for informational purposes and will be deleted from the RFP in a subsequent amendment to the RFP.

Section L, Subsection 6.2 will be modified to state, "Submit information, in the PPI tool described in 2.10(d) of Section L, on six (6) recent contracts that the Offeror considers most relevant in demonstrating its ability to perform the proposed effort; at least two

(2) must be from the Prime Contractor. Include rationale supporting..." A subsequent RFP amendment will follow to incorporate the content of the answer discussed herein.
