70. Sections L and M identify that we are to address the SEMP, FAA Certification Plan, and

Airworthiness Plan in the 50 page technical volume to demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirements and to “evidence sound methodologies” for developing and delivery of the documents and products after contract award. Additionally, the CDRLs clearly identify that the first drafts of these documents (SEMP, IMS, Certification Plan and

Airworthiness Plan) are delivered after contract award which implies that full plans are not required in the proposal. However, Section L also identifies an appendix to Volume

II with unlimited pages that is “Limited to Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), Systems

Engineering Management Plan (SEMP), FAA certification plan, and an airworthiness plan” If we are to address our understanding of the requirements and the methodologies for development and delivery of the documents/products in the 50 page technical, what is the intent of the deliveries expected in the Appendix to the Technical Volume?

Response: The documents/products in the technical volume will reflect the methodologies used to develop the appendix documents. The documents in the appendix are “essential elements” of the methodologies as stated in Section L subfactor instructions.
