Sheet1 Responses to Contractor Questions for Solicitation FA8601-14-R-0038
| Question | Reference | Response | ||

| If so, how much vacation and/or sick time have you budgeted for? | Attachment 2. | |
| SOW | SICK TIME AND VACATION DAYS ARE NOT WRITTEN INTO |
THE CONTRACT. AS A PERFORMANCE BASED-CONTRACT, THE CONTRACTOR IS REQUIRED TO IN ACCORDANCE WITH PERFORMANCE METRICS.

AN UPDATE WILL BE ISSUED TO THE SOW TO ADD PERFORMANCE METRICS
