1n fulfilling the Air Force's requirements. It has been proven through execution of this contract that establishment of a fully operationa l staff requi res at least 5-months of operational and practical implementation. During this period. the l

, Government anticipates a loss of productivity, quality and continuity of seNice.

1 source selection. causing contract award mtlestones to shift to the right.
