QUESTION 1: There appears to be a discrepancy between the answer to Q&A #24 and #48. If the current contract requires the 9mm, and the new contract requires the 9mm, then per Exhibit 4C, 3 hours of firearms transition training seems to be the correct answer to #48.

The following questions and answers (#24 and #48) were originally provided on Amendment three (3).

"24. Are current contractor employees considered qualified in terms of training completion?

Answer: With regard to questions concerning the training of incumbent PSOs, while the incumbent PSOs meet the training requirements of the current contract, there are some additional and/or changed requirements under the instant solicitation. Some of these differences include, but are not limited to, the following:

-Current contracts do not require body armor or OC Spray

In addition, PSOs will have to qualify with their individually assigned weapon semi-annually. The current Contracts require annual qualification.

All contract PSO personnel must meet the requirements of the solicitation before they can work under the new awarded contract. The current Contracts require the 9mm handgun.

48. Which level of training is required for the RFP-required firearm?

Answer: 8 hours platform change"

-ANSWER to QUESTION 1: QUESTION #48 (from the Q&A under Amendment 3) is three (3) hours of weapons training per exhibit 4C of the Statement of Work.

Contractors are reminded that they still need to provide semi-annual weapons qualifications.

QUESTION 2: In regards to the Solicitation's (HSHQEC-12-R-00015) CBA-2011-4675, on page 21, the number of sick and personal days officers receive is omitted. In order for Offerors to competitively price their proposals, will the Government please provide the current information for these items?
