Questions & Answers Q1. Can the Government provide further confirmation that the subsequent Statement of Work (SOW) paragraphs are not applicable to the Reference (a) solicitation?

SOW Paragraphs:

A1. The Statement of Work (SOW) represented in the solicitation dated 31 July 2018 reflects the full requirement for this effort. SOW paragraphs 3.2.7 - Aircrew Software, 3.3 - Mission Planning, and 3.3.1 - Software (JMPS) were removed from the final SOW and are no longer referenced as they are no longer part of this requirement. However, paragraph 7.1 - Aircrew Training is still a requirement and is reflected in the SOW.

Q2. Could the Government provide clarification on the below proposal submittal instructions.

Section "L" (Att. 8)

- Paragraph 3.9.4 (Page 5) states, "Offers shall submit Volumes with the following names ".doc" file", which would imply a "WORD" file.

- Paragraph 3.12 (Page 7) states, "The electronic copies of the proposal shall be submitted in a format readable by Microsoft (MS) Word 2007, 2010, or 2013, MS Excel 2007, 2010, or 2013, and MS-Power Point 2007, 2010, or 2013."

Does this mean the hardcopy is required to be submitted in word but the electronic version can be submitted in either format, all formats, or should it be the same format as the Hardcopy?

A2. In accordance with Section L, para 3.12, the electronic version shall be submitted in a format readable by Microsoft (MS) Word 2007, 2010, or 2013, MS Excel 2007, 2010, or 2013, and MS-Power Point 2007, 2010, or 2013. The hardcopy may by printed from any of those formats listed. The hard copy and the electronic copy should match. Please note para 6.3.10 indicates the format for price models.
