a. Section 6 – DELIVERABLES SCHEDULE AND MILESTONE DATES – The

Execute Schedule deliverable is defined as 60 days.

GSA Answer 1a: "Section 6 should read the same as Section 14.2 - PERIOD OF

Quality Level (AQL) is defined as 60 working days.

2. Question 2: Under Section 17, FACTOR 2 – Can we use two projects performed for GSA on

GECO2? Or, should we look for examples outside of the GECO2 project?

GSA Answer 2: Yes, you may use GECO2-related projects from in or outside of GSA.

GSA Answer 3: The due date for quotes has been changed (move up the date) from: June

20, 2019 to: Tuesday, Jun 18, 2019, not later than 3pm Eastern Time due to the urgency of the project milestone dates.
