Questions:

1) Is the contractor required to perform four (4) times per year at each location, equating to sixteen (16) times for the fiscal year, four (4) times during the indicated month? Or is the contractor required to perform a minimum of four (4) times per year, once at each specified location during the indicated months?

Answer: As stated in the Government's request for quote, the proposed combined solicitation synopsis will result in a five year, firm-fixed price, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity type contract (IDIQ).

The anticipated or estimated courses are solely estimates, are non-binding, and solely reflect the Governments current anticipation of number of seminars by year.
