| 2 | RFQ section N.3 | Is it the government's intention for offerors to submit an hourly FFP rate with in Attachment II ELIN Schedule? Or is the intention for offerors to provide a total FFP cost per ELIN? | Quoter shall submit unit price total for quantity (per day) |
| 3 | RFQ section N.3 | In response to the PWS, will the government allow for offerors adjust the LOE within Attachment II ELIN Schedule? | These are anticipated ceiling quantities and not Level of Effort. Quoters are requested to only include Unit Cost and not make any other revisions to the Attachment. |
| 4 | PWS 7.2 | PWS cites "Contractor costs for Government authorized travel are included in this contract." Does this include the application of offeror G&A being applied as an allowable, reasonable and allocable to this contract.

| 5 | PWS 3.3 | Will the government provide the LOE referenced as para "4.1.8" as to better define/map to Attachment II ELIN Schedule per LCAT? | References to Level of Effort have been removed from the PWS. Please see revised PWS. |
| 6 | PWS 3.3 | Will the government provide historic annual number of training days requirred for both JTAC Operator and Pilot SME support? XX Days x 10 hours per day of required support. | Due to the nature of the requirement as an IDIQ, historical quantities may not be an accurate reflection of potential needs. |

| 24 | DD254 | Blocks 10a and 10h are not congruent with the requirement in PWS 10 for access to Type 1 encrypted radios or PWS 11.1.6 to provide tactical radios. We realize this is a draft DD254 but it should reflect the requirements in the RFQ. | DD254 has been removed as an attachment. |
