| 1 | RFP Letter, dated 3 October 2019 | Article 5 of the RFP Letter states that the due date for this RFP is NLT 1500 hours local time, 6 November 2019; However, Section L - Clause 2.1.6 - states: "...[P]proposal deadline, thirty (30) calendar days after RFP release" which indicates due date of 3 November 2019. Please advise what is the correct RFP due date. | The proposal due date is 6 November 2019 NLT 1500 Local Time | |
| 2 | RFP Letter, dated 3 October 2019 | Article 12 of the RFP Letter states: "Installation of these kits is scheduled to begin in December 2019.” The PWS Attachment 1: Aircraft Schedule, indicates that the planned installations are to start in FY21 (Oct 2020).

However, Section L - Pricing Data - under clause 5.2 indicates that the pricing should not be included anywhere else in the proposal, but in Volume III - Price. Since the Pricing Matrix provided via Bidder's Library contains no fields where we may input data on associated fully burdened labor rates (to support contract period of performance) required to perform the case-by-case repairs and corrective actions that may arise as part of the Non-BU 7.0/8.1 Aircraft Maintenance Discrepancies Over & Above process per PWS 4.6.2, 4.6.2.1, 4.6.2.2, and 4.6.2.3,.

Please advise if there are specific percentages applied to each category. | Total SBA goal is 8% | |
