267 Amendment 1 Q&A N/A

These responses appear to conflict with each other. The response to #60 states “The rates proposed is intended to be utilized for the life of the IDIQ contract and task order 0001 and evaluated accordingly.” The response to #108 states “As stated in section L.5.4, "Please note that the labor category rates proposed for Task Order

0001 will be the rates utilized for the life of the IDIQ contract and on any subsequent task orders.” Contractors should propose their best and final pricing for both the

Sample Task 0001 and IDIQ.” Please clarify if the rates proposed for TO 0001, which may include discounts to the IDIQ rates, will be valid and used only for Task

Order 0001

Task Order 0001 should only be applied if the intention is to utilize those rates for the life of the IDIQ.
