COMBS IV Draft RFP Q&A

Section B, Pgs 88-93, 7000-series Transition CLINs Reference:

1. Section B, pg 3, Basic Period dates, lists the inclusive dates for Basic Pricing Period 1 as 1 May 2024 - 30 April 2025

2. Section B, pgs 88-93, 7000-series CLINs Identify a 180-day transition in period extending from 1 May 2024 to 1 November 2024.

Discussion: The first six months of Basic Pricing Period #1 coincide with the Transition In period.

Discussion: The ITO paragraph references and section titles do not appear to coincide with the remainder of the Section L instructions (all volumes). For Example: Vol I

3.0 Technical

3.2.2 2.3.1 Title Page

3.2.2 2.3.2 Team List (see Attach 2.0)

3.2.2 2.3.8 Table of Contents

3.2.2 2.3.9 List of Tables and Figures

3.2.2 2.3.10 Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms

3.2.3 Subfactor 1 Program Management

3.2.4 Subfactor 2 Supply Chain Management

3.2.5 Subfactor 3 Inventory Data Management and Reporting

3.2.6 In addition, the table does not correctly identify the Table of Contents, List of Tables and Figures, and Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms for each volume as required per ITO paragraphs 2.3.8 thru 2.3.10 respectively.

Question: Will the Government consider updating Section L, Table 2.3 (all volumes) to accurately identify the desired contents of each volume?

Table 2.3, Proposal Organization, pg 4

Section L, ITO Attachment 1.1 Reference: Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 2.3.3, Table 2.3, Proposal Organization, page 4, Volume II Past Performance.

Discussion: Based on a comparison of Table 2.3, Section L.4.0 Factor 2 - Past Performance, and ITO Attachment 1.1 Past Performance Information (PPI) Form/Tool, we are confused as to the intended volume structure and contents.

Table 2.3 has a separate Volume II entry for Past Performance Information Forms (Atch 1.1 PPI Tool), and Relevant Contract Narrative. The PPI Tool identified in Atch 1.1 consists of multiple tabs: Business Relationships; Contact Information; Program Details (which includes a discussion of contract relevance, per Section L instructions); and POC and Key Individuals. Then... 5 rows down in Table 2.3, it identifies a separate requirement for a "Relevant Contract Narrative", which is already addressed within the "Program Details" Tab of the Attach 1.1 PPI Tool.

Furthermore, Table 2.3 identifies the page limit for the PPI Tool as "N/A", and the page limit for the Relevant Contract Narrative as a maximum of 5 pages per contract. The last sentence of Section L.4.3.1 requests that the PPIF not exceed a target of 8 pages, although more or less may be submitted if necessary. Then... the last two sentences of Section L.4.3.2 request offerors to limit their contract relevancy narrative to a maximum of 5 pages, however this limit may be exceeded if necessary.

Questions:

A. Will the Government please update Table 2.3 and relevant Section L.4.0 subparagraphs to clarify their intent for the specific structure and contents of Volume II, Past Performance?

B. Is it the Government's intent that the Past Performance Information (PPI) Form/Tool and Relevant Contract Narrative are two separate Volume II requirements, or should the Relevant Contract Narrative be incorporated within the PPI Form/Tool per the Atch 1.1 instructions?

C. Is it the Government's intent that the Past Performance Information (PPI) Form/Tool be submitted as a separate electronic document, labeled per ITO Attachment 1.1, Downloading the PPI Tool (pg 2), paragraph 4, and/or the printed outputs from the PPI Tool, Printing Reports and Submitting PPI Tool (pg 10), paragraph 4, incorporated into the Volume II electronic file, labeled per Section L paragraph 2.3.4? Question A: Will the Government please update Table 2.3 and relevant Section L.4.0 subparagraphs to clarify their intent for the specific structure and contents of Volume II, Past Performance?

Question B: Is it the Government's intent that the Past Performance Information (PPI) Form/Tool and Relevant Contract Narrative are two separate Volume II requirements, or should the Relevant Contract Narrative be incorporated within the PPI Form/Tool per the Atch 1.1 instructions?

Question C: Is it the Government's intent that the Past Performance Information (PPI) Form/Tool be submitted as a separate electronic document, labeled per ITO Attachment 1.1, Downloading the PPI Tool (pg 2), paragraph 4, and/or the printed outputs from the PPI Tool, Printing Reports and Submitting PPI Tool (pg 10), paragraph 4, incorporated into the Volume II electronic file, labeled per Section L paragraph 2.3.4? QA. The Government does not intend to update Table 2.3 for Volume II- Past Performance or Section L 4.0 subparagraphs.

QB. Yes, the PPI Relevant Contract Narrative (IAW Section L 4.3.2) is a separate portion of the Past Performance Volume Submission from the PPI Tool (IAW Section L 4.3.1. and ITO Attachment 1.1.).Per Section L, 4.3.1, offerors shall provide Past Performance Information (PPI) on current or previous contracts (or efforts). The PPI shall be completed in accordance with Attachment 1.1, Past Performance Information Form (identified as “PPIF”) which is accomplished within the PPI Tool itself. ITO Attachment 1.1 states “Offerors must use the PPI Tool (Use latest version at https://www.sam.gov) in order to electronically submit the PPI portion of the Past Performance Volume in accordance with the RFP (FA8106-23-R-1000) for (T-6 Contractor Operated and Maintained Base Supply (COMBS) IV Program). Section L– Instructions to Offerors, Attachment 1.1.” ITO Attachment 1.1 (pages 20-29) show examples of the type of information to enter for PPI within the PPI Tool.

Per Section L, 4.3.2, offerors shall provide a narrative explaining what aspects of the contract is deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to that aspects of the proposed effort they relate. Specifically, the narrative should focus on similarities to the Factor 1 Technical subfactors, Factor 3 Price, and Scope, Magnitude, Performance Quality, and Complexity, as defined in Section M, paragraph 2.3.2.2 Relevancy Assessment, and should be tailored to the proposed portion of effort. Offerors are requested to limit the narratives to a maximum of 5 pages. However, the offeror may exceed the requested page limit, if determined necessary to fully describe relevancy.

QC. Specific to Section L 2.3.4, offerors shall submit volumes with the file names provided (i.e. Volume II-Past Performce.doc or docx). Specific to the electronic PPI Tool submission, offerors shall provide the PPI Tool with the naming convention described in ITO Attachment 1.1, Downloading the PPI Tool (pg 2), paragraph 4, and Printing Reports and Submitting PPI Tool (pg 10), paragraph 4, (i.e. "XYZCompanyFAXXXX21RXXXX.accdb" for primes and subcontractors).

4 Attach 5 Section L, Paragraphs 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 Reference: 1. Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 2.4.1 identifies the standard line spacing and font size for proposal volumes

2. Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 2.4.2 identifies allowable page and font size for tables, charts, graphs, and figures Discussion: Paragraph L.2.4.1 identifies that page line spacing shall be 1.5 lines, and except for reproduced sections of the solicitation document, the text size shall be no less than Arial 12 Point.

Paragraph L.2.4.2 identifies that within the Technical Volume (only), Text within figures, charts, tables, and graphs shall be no less than Ariel 8-pt. This paragraph, however, does not mention line spacing within these figures, charts, tables and graphs. As written, the specific allowance for font sizes within figures, charts, tables, and graphs only applies to the Technical Volume, and not the Past Performance, Price, and Contract Documentation Volumes. These font size allowances for figures, charts, tables, and graphs would aid the readability for these items included in the other volumes as well.

Question: A. Will the Government consider amending paragraph L.2.4.2 to allow single spacing for figures, charts, tables, and graphs?

QB: No the current direction in 2.4.2 will remain the same.

5 Attach 5 Section L, Paragraph 3.2.3, Subpara g

Section L, Paragraph 2.3.3, Table 2.3 Reference: Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 3.2.3.g, identifies inclusion of the offeror's approach to Small Business Participation.

Discussion: Paragraph L.3.2.3.g.1 requires offerors to submit a completed Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) per the ITO Attachment 3.0 template. Large Business Primes are also required to submit a subcontracting plan tailored to this contracting effort. However, Table 2.3, Proposal Organization, does not identify where within Volume I to include these documents, whether they are included within the volume maximum page limit., or if they are to be submitted as separate electronic documents.

Question: A. Will the Government consider amending both Table 2.3 and ITO paragraph 3.2.3.g to identify the desired location and submittal method/medium for both the required Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) and Subcontracting Plan?

Question B: Does the Government intend for the SBPCD and Subcontracting Plan to be submitted within the Volume I, Subfactor One, Program Management narrative, or as separate electronic documents?

Question C: Does the Government intend for the SBPCD and Subcontracting Plan to be included within the Volume I maximum page limit, or excluded from the volume page count? QA: The Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) and Subcontracting Plan will be submitted with Technical Volume I, Subfactor 1, Program Management and will be excluded from the 65 page limit, Table 2.3 has been updated.

QB: Yes, see above.

QC: The SBPCD and Subcontracting Plan will be excluded from the Technical Volume I page limit, Table 2.3 has been updated.

6 Attach 5 Section L, Paragraph 4.1.4 Reference: Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 4.1.4 identifies the requirement for offerors to submit "Commitment to Perform as Proposed" letters signed by the Prime contractor and each Subcontractor.

Discussion: Prime offerors are required to provide past performance citations within Volume II Past Performance, for themselves and "Significant Subcontractors" (those performing over 5% of the total effort or a critical function). Paragraph 4.1.4 identifies "each subcontractor" for submission of "Commitment to Perform as Proposed" letters, but does not specify if submittal of those letters is limited to only those "Significant Subcontractors" for which Past Performance citations are submitted. Since paragraph 4.1.4 states that if the signed commitment is not fully executed by both parties, the subcontractor past performance references will not be evaluated; we assume this requirement only applies to Significant Subcontractors. And conversely, these letters would not be required for subcontractors who do not meet the criteria for identification as "Significant" subcontractors, or vendors/suppliers.

Question: Do we understand correctly, that the "Commitment to Perform as Proposed" letters are only required for entities meeting the criteria as "Significant Subcontractors", for which Past Performance citations are incorporated within Volume II? The Government advises the Offeror to review Section L 4.1.4 in its entirety. Specifically, Paragraph 4.1.4 states "This letter shall be executed and signed by the Prime contractor and each Subcontractor. The letter states that, in the event a contract is awarded to the Prime Contractor, the Prime Contractor and Subcontractor (to include teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners) commit to joint contract performance as described in the proposal. A separate letter shall be completed for each subcontractor separately. If the signed commitment is not fully executed by both parties and provided with the Past Performance Proposal, the subcontractor references will not be evaluated or considered."

Therefore, it is the Government's intent that Offerors will comply with Section L 4.1.4 by providing a Commitment to Peform as Proposed Letter with each subcontractor, not just subcontractors that the offeror determines is as significant subcontractors per Section L 4.3.1.

IAW Section L 4.3.1, only significant subcontractors will be further evaluated for past peformance based on their proposed portion of effort. "Significant subcontractor is defined as a contractor who is proposed to perform over 5% of the total effort, or a contractor who is proposed to perform less than 5% of the total effort but is determined to be performing a critical function."

7 Attach 5 Section L, Paragraph 2.3.6

Section L, 3.2.3.g;

Section L, Paragraph 5.1;

Section, Attachment 3.0 Reference

1. Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 2.3.6, Pricing Information, states: "All pricing information shall be addressed ONLY in the Price Proposal and Contract Documentation volumes."

2. Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 5.1, General Instructions, in relation to pricing information, states: "Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal."

3. Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 3.2.3.g requires submittal of a completed Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) and a Subcontracting Plan, both of which require inclusion of the proposed Total Contract Value and dollars and percentages attributed to Small Business, broken-down by socio-economic categories.

4. Attach 5, Section L, Attachment 3.0, Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD), requires input of pricing information in the form of Total Contract Value, and the apportionment of the proposed price attributed to each Small Business socio-economic classification.

Discussion: The submittal requirements for the SBPCD and Subcontracting Plan appear to conflict with the prohibition of inclusion of pricing information in any proposal documents with the exception of Volume III Price, and Volume IV Contract Documentation.

Question: Will the Government consider revising paragraphs L.2.3.6 and L.5.1 to allow pricing information to be included in only Volumes III, Price, IV, Contract Documentation, and the Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD), and Subcontracting Plan? Updated Section L, Paragraph 2.3.6 and 5.1 to include pricing information also in ITO Attachment 3.0 for SBPCD Template and Contract Documentation Volume IV.

8 Attach 5 Section L, Paragraph 6.3.5 Reference: Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 6.3.5, Attachments to the Model Contract, instructs offerors to "provide the following as attachments to the model contract."

Discussion: Paragraph L.6.3.5 does not list any requirements to be attached to the model contract.

Discussion: PWS paragraph 1.1.6.a) specifies that the offeror is required to support the "Prime DMSMS Contractor".

Discussion: PWS paragraph 1.1.8 identifies that contractors shall Implement and maintain a third-party certified AS9100C QMS. The current version of this Quality standard is AS9100D. There are also varying organizational levels of certification that can be applied to the third-party certification requirement: Corporate-level, Program/Contract-level, and site-level. In most cases, offerors are third-party certified at the Corporate or Program/Contract level, but flow-down the QMS requirements to the sites to ensure compliance at the site-level.

Question: A. Does the Government consider Offeror's Third-party certification to AS9100 at the corporate level, with compliance flow-down at the Program/Contract and site-levels, as meeting the QMS certification requirements of PWS paragraph 1.1.8?

Question B: If not, please specify the required organizational level for certification. QA: The Government has updated Section 1.1.8. to reflect AS9100D. Yes, the Government does consider Offeror's Third-party certification to AS9100 at the corporate level with compliance flow down to the Program/Contract and site levels as meeting the QMS certification requirements.

QB: N/A

11 Attach 2 Draft PWS, Paragraph 1.1.2.1.B).4;

Draft PWS, Paragraph 3.2.3.3;

Draft PWS, Paragraph 3.2.4.3 Reference:

1. Attach 2, Draft PWS, paragraph 1.1.2.1.b).4 instructs offerors to provide on-site COMBS services during normal Flying and Maintenance operations for the US Army (USA) aircraft at AFTD Redstone Arsenal, Al, Monday - Friday from 0700-1900.

2. Attach 2, Draft PWS, paragraph 3.2.3.3, USA Facilities, only identifies that "The USA will provide secure, restricted access, warehouse facility at Redstone Test Center (RTC)."

3. Attach 2, Draft PWS, paragraph 3.2.4.3, USA Support Services, only specifies that "The USA will provide the following base support all Packaging, Handling & Storage required at AFTD Redstone Arsenal.

Discussion: The guidance for the offeror's role at the COMBS location at Redstone Test Center in support of Army T-6D aircraft appears rather vague. On one hand, the contractor appears to be required to provide COMBS services at Redstone arsenal, but there is almost no additional guidance for site-level support, with the Army responsible for Packaging, Handling & Storage of COMBS assets, which may encapsulate the tasks of receiving, warehousing, issuing, and shipping of parts and materials. It could actually be interpreted that the COMBS provider provides the parts and material and the USA is responsible for the on-site operation.

Question: Will the Government please clarify the role of the COMBS provider in support of the Army at Redstone Arsenal location? Section 1.1.2.1. has been updated to clarify the role of the COMBS provider in support of the Army at Redstone Arsenal location.

USG has updated paragraph 3.2.3.3 to remove this requirement.

Requirements in paragraph 3.2.4.3 remain the same.

Discussion: The referenced PWS paragraph specifies the required COMBS support hours as Monday - Friday 0600 - 2400. It is our understanding that the airfields at USAF AETC sites are normally open on Sunday afternoons for approximately 6 hours to accomodate Cross-country returns, and the maintenance organizations are required to staff these times to recover aircraft and re-generate them for Monday morning flight schedules. If established COMBS operating hours are not identified for Sunday cross-country returns, either on-call COMBS support will have to be provided per paragraph 1.1.2.1.f for NMCS/PMCS requirements (90 minute response time), or wait until normal operating time on Monday morning.

Question: Does the Government intend the COMBS to support weekend maintenance at USAF sites solely through on-call support, or did the Government intend to specifiy weekend support hours (similar to the USN sites) to accomodate weekly cross-country returns? No, the Government did not intend to specify USAF weekend support hours. Operations and on-call services outside of normal flying and maintenance operations are covered in Section 1.1.2.1.

Additional weekend support for all services are covered in Section 1.1.3.2.

Discussion: It is our experience that Government-provided USAF COMBS facilities do not have the capability/certification for performance of corrosion prevention/control, cleaning, painting, and marking of contractor-provided Support Equipment (SE) at USAF COMBS sites per TO 35-1-3. We were unable to identify in the PWS where co-use of base-level facilities were provided to accomplish these tasks.

Discussion: It would appear to be more effective to have a dedicated maintenance Liaison located within the COMBS to accomplish the tasks specified within subparagraphs a thru h, vice an employee assigned within the customer's maintenance control function--physically removed from the ongoing COMBS operation.

Discussion: PWS paragraph 1.1.3.3.g requires the Maintenance Liaisons at Whiting Field, Corpus Christi, and NAS Pensacola to attend the T-6 Readiness Cell as well.

Question: Will the Government consider ammending the table within PWS paragraph 1.1.11.b to include the Maintenance Liaisons at Whiting Field, Corpus Christi, and NAS Pensacola as required attendees of the weekly T-6 Readiness Cell telecon? USG has updated PWS paragraph 1.1.11.b table to include Maintenance Liaisons.

Discussion: First-Tier subcontractors are often reluctant to identify their SB subcontractors (Second-Tier) by name, however we have had success in the past with subcontractors providing the dollar values and percentages of spend to SB concerns.

Question 1: If second-tier subcontractors will be applied to meeting SB goals, are offerors required to specify this on the Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) (ITO Atch 3.0), submitted with the proposal?

Question 2: If second-tier subcontractors are used to meet the required 15% SB spend, are offerors required to individually list the second tier subcontractors in section 3 of the submitted SBPCD?

Draft Pricing Matrix Reference:

A. Attach 2, Draft PWS, paragraph 1.5.1.k specifies that the contractor "Shall utilize Mobile Repair Teams (MRT) when requested by the USG at operating locations in the event of the following repairs, but not limited to: blending of compressor blade damage, blade crack verification, removal, and replacement of broken fuel nozzle stud, removal, and replacement of broken oil filter cover stud, PT2 blade replacements, over torques, etc.

B. Attach 4, Draft Pricing Matrix, identifies 4000-series CLINs for engine overhaul (1st, 2nd and 3rd run engines), but does not identify a specific CLIN for Mobile Repair Teams to support the level of effort for engine repairs identified in PWS 1.5.1.k Question: Will the Government please clarify if the MRT support identified in PWS 1.5.1.k is considered an "Over-and-Above" requirement, or charged to the applicable Engine Repair CLIN (4010 or 4060)? PWS has been updated in paragraph 1.5.1.k. to state that if "If Government requested, the USG will provide funding through Over & Above FFP CLIN".

If Contractor elects to utilize MRT Support, this would fall under the Repair CLIN(s).

27 Attach 2 Draft PWS, Paragraph 1.5 Reference: Attach 2, Draft PWS, Paragraph 1.5, Repair of Engines, Propellers, and Landing Gear, sub-paragraph 1.5.1 identifies the engine repair requirements.

Discussion: it is our experience that Hot Section Inspections (HSI) are required on the PT6A-68 engine mid-point between overhauls, but we did not see mention of HSI accomplishment within the scope of engine requirements for this contract.

Question 1: Will the Government please clarify if accomplishment of HSIs on the assigned PT6A-68 engines fall within the scope of this contract, or if they are accomplished by the applicable maintenance providers?

Question 2: If within the scope of this contract, which CLIN should the HSIs be charged against? Q1: This will not fall within scope of the T-6 COMBS IV Contract and is accomplished the applicable maintenenance providers.

Q2: N/A 28 Attach 5

1. Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 1.0 identifies a total of 742 aircraft supported by this contract

2. RFP Section B, pg 3, identifies a total of 739 aircraft supported.

Discussion: The total numbers of aircraft supported by this contract identified in Attach 5, Section L, paragraph 1.0 and RFP Section B are not consistant. It would also be helpful to have a listing of the number of aircraft assigned to each operating location

Question A: Will the Government please verify the total number of aircraft supported by this contract?

Question B: Will the Government consider providing a table that shows the number of aircraft currently supported at each operating location? Q/A: Section L has been updated to reflect 739 aircraft.

Q/B:

Air Force: 442 -Columbus: 99 -Laughlin: 103 -Pensacola: 24 -Randolph: 41 -Sheppard: 76 -Vance: 99 Navy: 293 -Corpus Christi: 97 -Whiting Field:147 -Pensacola: 43 -Patuxent River: 6 Army: 4 -Redstone: 4

1. Attach 2, Draft PWS, Appendix D, Estimated Workload Data, identifies the projected flying hours for each operating location, by Fiscal Year.

2. Attach 4, Draft Pricing Matrix, identifies the projected flying hours to be attributed to the Price Per Flying Hour CLINs Discussion: The projected flying hours identified in PWS Appendix D do not match all of the hours identified in the Pricing matrix calculation of the Price Per Flying Hour CLINs.

31 Attach 2 Draft PWS, paragraph 1.3.9.c Reference: Attach 2, Draft PWS, paragraph 1.3.9.c requires the contractor to "Make available, TCI material prior to scheduled replacement date forecasted by the maintenance acivity IAW TO 1T-6A/B/D-6".

Discussion: We could not locate a listing of TCI components with their last change dates within the data provided with the Draft RFP. This is needed to accuarately calculate projected cost per flying hour.

Question: Will the Government please consider providing a current Time Change Item (TCI) component listing with last changed dates? No, reference TO 1T-6A/B/D-6 and this will provide the Time Change Items and the removal intervals.

32 Attach 8 Attachment 8_Bidder's Library_Controlled 8G-8H.xlsx Reference: File Attachment 8_ Bidder's Library_Controlled 8G-8H.xlsx, Tab June 2021 Discussion: The June 2021 tab for this file appears to include parts usage for the entire year, vice only the June 2021 data.

Question: Will the Government consider revising the June 2021 tab of file "Attachment 8_ Bidder's Library_Controlled 8G-8H.xlsx" to only include the data relevant to June 2021? USG revised June 2021 tab, update included in the Bidder's Library.

Question 2: If not, does the 1.5 line spacing also pertain to the TEAM LIST, Table of Contents, List of Tables and Figures, and Glossary of Abbreviations as well? Q/1: No the USG will not consider changing line spacing to 1.5 lines. The requirement will remain the same in 2.4.1.

Q/2: IAW Section L 2.3.2, offerors shall provide the Team List in each volume using the format shown in Attachment 2 of the ITO. The Table of Contents, List of Tables and Figures and Glossary of Abbreviations must adhere to the 1.5 line spacing requirement as described in Section L 2.4.1. Offerors are advised that the Table of Contents, List of Tables and Figures and Glossary of Abbreviations are all provided "unlimited" number of pages as described in Table 2.3, Proposal Organization.

41 ITO L.2.3.3, Table 2.3, Volume IV and L.6.1.1 Table 2.3 shows a structure for Volume IV to provide a Title Page (SF1449) prior to the Table of Contents and L.6.1.1 requires the SF1449 as well. L.6.1.1 states: Completion of blocks 12, 17 and signature and date for blocks 30a, 30b and 30c of the SF1449. Signature by the offeror on the SF1449 constitutes an offer, which the Government may accept. Question: Is it the Government’s intent to require the SF1449 to be submitted in two different areas of Volume IV Contract? Section L has been updated to reflect SF1447. The Government only requires 1 SF1447 (Title Page) for Volume IV - Contract Documentation.

Section L 6.1.1 lists the required information to be provided in the SF1447 Title Page.

49 PWS 1.3.3 a) 20. Interface/Integrate Enterprise Resource Planning: Provides the ability to interface and integrate with an ERP system. The integrated management of core business processes, often in real-time and mediated by software and technology Question 1: Is the PWS reference asking for the system to integrate with any ERP system or are there specific ERP system requirements to integrate with a Government system(s)?

Question 2: If so, which Government systems?

Q1: PWS 1.3.3.a.20 Interface requirments removed.

50 PWS 1.1. i) Acquire and maintain technical documentation Question 1: What is the Government’s definition of acquire and does the Government interpret this requirement to mean all applicable regs mentioned in the contract/PWS?

Question 2: If OEM or USG owned, will USG provide initial and updates? Q1/Q2: USG owned technical documentation will be provided upon request. Changes, supplements, and amendments to regulations will be the responsibility of the contractor.

The USG intends for the COMBS provider to have in place agreements for OEM technical documentation IAW PWS 1.1.1.
