Contractors will not be reimbursed for the cost of transient housing not previously approved by the COR.” – What does “other” overseas locations mean? Also, where are the CHU’s located? | The "other" is a provision that may not be exercised, but leaves open the possibility to deploy to other locations (maybe Middle East or Malaysia) for mission requirements. While this would be rare or even none at all, we need the ability to deploy world wide. The CHUs are located at NSGB near the main complex. | |
| 37 | PWS section 1.6.13, page 6, paragraph 4 | Technical | The PWS states “The Government will provide contractors transportation while in NSGB; contractors shall possess the required licenses to operate all vehicles or equipment necessary to perform under this contract.
