The security clearance level for JTC TRS is U.S. Secret.

4. The Government is requesting feedback in some specific areas; but feedback on the entire package is encouraged.

b. Is the System Evaluation Test plan clear and easy to understand?

c. Has the Government overlooked anything you would expect to be evaluated on from a similar program?

d. Is the pricing strategy proposed in Attachment 4 easy to understand? Can it be improved? (e.g. Would other groupings of hours etc. be more cost efficient?)

e. Has the Government asked for anything that could be identified as unnecessarily inflating program or proposal costs?

f. Are the delivery and installation requirements realistic and attainable?
