100After reviewing the Q&A from Amendment 1 on 4/25, we have a question that impacts the success of the Past Performance volume for all offerors. The length of each PPQ and CPAR(s) per contract can greatly impact the amount of narrative allowed within page count to provide adequate relevancy in the Past Performance Information Sheets (Attachment 5). In addition, contracts can have multiple CPARs over the length of the contract, which results in a differing amount of narrative within Attachment 5 for each offeror. Therefore, is our assumption that CPARS and PPQs are outside of the 20 page limit for the Past Performance volume, correct? We very much thank you for your time and consideration!FAR 52.212-1(b)Yes, CPARS and PPQs are excluded from page limitations. FAR 52.212-1(b) was updated to clarify this section.
101Do you foresee the submission date being extended.N/aNo.
