Any additional questions or comments should be sent in writing to the TLPS Contracting Officer, Andrew Hatch at andrew.hatch@hill.af.mil.

1. Industry Comment: Regarding past performance questionnaires: Section L paragraph 5.8 requires that offerors send out the questionnaires for each PPIS. Paragraph 5.5 requires a 3-page list of contracts for possible past performance evaluation. Do we need to provide questionnaires for the contracts on the 3-page list?

Air Force Response: No, Questionnaires only need to be provided for each PPIS

2. Industry Comment: RFP Solicitation No.FA8202-08-R-1000, Form 1447 states the proposal due date is 5 Feb 2009 by 4:00 p.m. Under Section L (page 81 of 91) Table “Solicitation Due Date Information Proposal Submittal Schedule” states Volumes I, II, and IV are due “30 Days Post RFP”, which is 4 Feb 2009.

Please confirm if the proposal due date and Volumes I, II and IV are “31 Days Post RFP”, which is 5 Feb 2009.

Air Force Response: Proposals are due 30 days after the RFP was posted in accordance with section L of the RFP. An RFP amendment is posted correcting the error by changing the RFP due date from 5 Feb 09 to 4 Feb 09.
