1) When is the Commercial Manual to be submitted?

a) On page 3 of the RFP under the LPTA process, para 1. – it says to include a commercial manual or specification sheet with your proposal.

b) Per page 46 of RFP – Para C. Volume III, Commercial Manual – says it should be provided at the time of proposal.

c) On page 45 of the RFP, in bold text, between paragraphs A and B, it says, “Volumes I & II of the RFP are due no later than 19 June 2017”. Vol I is the completed RFP and Vol II is the Technical Information Package. The Commercial Manual is Vol III, so it would appear that is is not required with the proposal.

d) CDRL A001 says draft of the Commercial Manual is due to Engineering with the Pre‐ production Unit.

3) In the Product Description (PD), page 13, para 6.1 – Does commercial operation and maintenance instructions equal the Commercial Manual referenced in CDRL A001?

4) In the Product Description (PD), page 13, para 6.1 – Does the CR System’s Operation and Technical Manual equal the Technical Manual referenced in CDRL A007?
