8	RFP HC1019-22-R-0002				Will the government please outline positions by location and expected number of FTE required?	No. This requirement is supported with a Performance Work Statement (PWS) requiring the Offeror to propose a customized solution.
9	RFP	190, 194	2	Addendum to 52.212-1 part (iii)	In the instructions to offerors at page 190, there is instruction "If the offeror believes that no OCCI exists, the OCCI response shall set forth sufficient details to support such a position." Later, at page 194, part (5) there is a requirement for an OCCI Mitigation Plan to be provided or the inclusion of a statement that OCCI does not exist. Would the Government accept a simple statement that the contractor has considered OCCI and believes that no OCCI exists to meet this requirement? If not, please provide an example of the type of detail that would meet the requirement.	The Offeror should provide a statement and additional details to support the statement of known OCCI or no OCCI situations.

The total size of each email (including all attachments) shall not exceed 20MB.
	13	RFP	190	3	Addendum to 52.212-1 part (iv)	"The following items will not be considered when calculating page limits: cover page, table of contents, glossary, generic resumes …" It is unclear what is meant by "generic resumes" in this section.
