1 L-4/M-1 2, h, ii

Offerors without an approved plan will only be required to submit attachment 5a, correct? This worksheet is required on an individual company basis based on the DO’s being awarded to each individual carrier, correct?

Yes, Small Business worksheet is required for Large or Small Businesses without an approved Commercial plan signed and approved by the Government. If the offeror has an approved Commercial plan, the worksheet is not required. This requirement is for each individual carrier regardless of any teaming arrangement.

2 Attachment 4 Atch 8a-c

For the 81/82/3 data sheets, there is not a tab for the specific aircraft being offered. How should the preformance data be entered?

Can just do the revalidation sheets since there are no changes to performance figures?

There are no hard and fast rules for aircraft not specifically listed. Select the tab with the payload and range that provides the best presentation of the aircrafts capabilities.

If there are no changes then 82 or 83 data sheets are not required. Complete the 81 as well as the 3A and 3A-1.

3 L-4/M-1 m

I believe this section should say (attachment 5) instead of (attachment 4), please confirm.

Offerors who certify as a large business concern shall submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Attachment 4) at time of proposal submission.

We will be changing some of the aircraft offered for the new CRAF contract, and we don’t know how many of the offered tails you will be accepting, do we need to secure the FAA insurance prior to our offer or can we wait until we know which of the tails will be accepted?

All offerors should obtain commercial insurance for the aircraft owned, used, maintained and/or operated by the carrier in accordance with H. In regards to war risk insurance, the Government will work with OSD to secure applicable insurance after contract award.
