The Government cites PWS Paragraph 6.2, Task 2 as part of Subfactor 2: Technical Approach to Integration Management Planning. However, the Integration Management Planning task is actually Subtask 1 under Task 1. Did the Government accidentally mislabel that subfactor? Also, is Subfactor 2 meant to include 6.3.2, subtask 2, which is part of Task 3?

L.4.2.3.6, M.1.2, M.2.1.2, Subfactor 2

The title of Subfactor 2 has been updated to “Technical Approach to Management and Integration of all Software/Architecture Modernization Updates.” Paragraph references under Subfactor 2 have been updated to PWS Paragraphs 6.2.2., Subtask 2 & 6.3.2 Subtask 2.

Considering the amount of tasks and subtasks we are requested to respond to, in addition to the Evaluation Criteria citing that “all aspects of the PWS must be sufficiently addressed for a proposal to be considered responsive to the solicitation” would the Government consider allowing us more than 10 pages to respond to these requirements in Part F Technical Approach?

L.4.2, L.4.2.3, L.4.2.3.6

The page limitations for the Technical Approach section has been increased to no more than 15 pages.
