QUESTION Received 6 August 2024: The PWS requirement is for three (3) contracted training staff. Experience has shown that a MAAS training sessions of this scope can be quite successfully completed with two (2) trainers. Assuming the equipment and personnel are available and prepared, possibly even one (1) trainer is sufficient. This reduced manpower would of course be attractive to the end user from a cost containment perspective. Is it acceptable to propose a two-man team for both training sessions?

QUESTION Received 5 August 2024: Translator/interpreter – if an individual proficient in Indonesian language is not available from the offeror, it is assumed that a translator or interpreter will be required.
