Below is a list of questions/comments the Air Force has received from industry regarding the FA8224-15- R-0010 RFP posting on FedBizOpps and the Air Force responses to the questions/comments. Air Force responses are based on the best information available at this time and are subject to change in the event the requirement is amended. Only the RFP and RFP Amendments, if issued, should be relied upon while preparing proposals.

1. Reference: Standard Form 33, Section 9

Industry Question: Proposal due date indicates 4:00 pm local time on 15 Jan 2014. Should this be 15 Jan 2015?

Air Force Response: An updated Page 1 of solicitation FA8224-15-R-0010 has been uploaded to reflect the correct date of 15 January 2015.

2. Reference: Section L, 5.4.1.1.

Question: Section L, 5.4.1.1. states the proposal shall reflect the applicable PWS section; thus, Section 1.1 of the offeror’s proposal shall address requirements set forth in Section 1.1 of the PWS, etc. This seems to contradict the mandatory layout in L.5.3., L.5.4.1.2. and L.5.4.2. with required PWS elements. Should the proposal paragraphs reference the applicable PWS paragraph (PWS x.x), rather than be numbered identically to the PWS?

Air Force Response: Section L, paragraph 5.4.1.1 has been amended.

3. Reference: PWS 2.6.3, Equipment Abuse

4. Reference: PWS 4.1, Tool Requirements and Appendix B, Listing of Publications

Question: AFMCI 21-107 and AFMCI 21-122 both have been superseded and are not in Appendix B. Have these requirements been rolled-up into AFI 21-101 or is there another publication?

Air Force Response: PWS paragraph 4.1 has been amended to reference AFI 21-101.

5. Reference: Section L, 4.2.1.1.
