| Solicitation page 110, Instructions to Offerors, Factor 1: Sub-Factor 2. |
| This Solicitation was not released as a GSA MOBIS procurement; therefore wouldn’t the use of MOBIS Labor Categories be inappropriate for Offerors to use in their proposal? Will the Government consider removing references to MOBIS Labor Categories and use Position Titles only, such as those in the attachment 3 notes (Survivability Engineer, Survivability Analyst, Level A Logistician, Level B Logistician, and Level C Logistician)? If so, will the Government provide an updated Attachment 3? |
| The Government will remove the term “MOBIS” from the labor categories listed in Attachment 3. The Government will not provide additional postion categories, except for those already listed in Attachment 3 (Survivability Engineer, Survivability Analyst, Level C Logistician, Level B Logistician, and Level A Logistician). It will be left to the offeror to propose their own labor postions or equivalent postions, in Attachment 3, that support each task area described in the General Scope SOW and Task Order One SOW. See Amendment 1. |

| 67. |
| Solicitation page 120, Proposal Evaluation, Paragraph 3, Adjectival Ratings. |
| Will the Government please define the adjectival ratings for Factors 1, 2, 3, and their associated sub-factors, similar to what was provided in the draft RFP? |

| Will the government please confirm the Period of Performance stated in Attachment 1 (12 September 2012 through 11 September 2013)? With the due date of 7 September 2012 provided for proposals, it seems unlikely that this would be an accurate start date, and for pricing purposes, we would prefer to have a more accurate start date. |

| Solicitation page 106, table which identifies the volumes and page limits. |
| Please clarify if the page limits, which is identified as xx Slides is really meant for the Oral Presentations or should it reflect xx Pages. |
| The page limits are meant for both the Oral Presentations and the written proposa to be submitted. |

| The table identifies Volume IV as the Price Volume. However, on page 107, item H reflects that no price information shall be included in Volumes I – IV. Please provide clarification. It is believed that as a result of the volumes being consolidated that this statement was missed and should actually reflect Volumes I – III. |

| Solicitation page 114, Instructions of Offerors, Proposal Submission Requirements, Factor 4, Sub-Factor 1, Item 2. |
| In the last sentence of this section, the Government states “Offerors are instructed to inform their subcontractors are to submit their total compensation plan(s) in a separately sealed envelope directly to the Government.” However, one of our subcontractors was notified that this was not the preferred method of submission. Please advise if the guidance in the Solicitation is valid, or if the Government prefers that the subcontractors submit to the Offeror and then the Offeror submits all subcontractor sealed packages with its own proposal submission. |
