RFP Table L.3, page 37 of 43

Navy EOD routinely deploy as an organic component within NSW Squadrons and have similar training and operational support requirements that demand contracted expertise at a high level very similar to that required by NSW forces.

Request modify language within Table L.3 in the "Scope Required in PWS" row under the 'Relevant' column to read "SOF or EOD support in most of the PWS services: Logistics, Intel, PM, Administrative, and Technical Support".

Although EOD routinely deploy within NSW, the training and operational support requirements are different. The Government believes there is a benefit to having a company with SOF and more so with NSWC past performance and plans to give credit for such experience.
