About this file
This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document providing Government responses to clarifications requested by potential offerors regarding the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for support services to the Product Manager Fire Support Systems (PdM FSS) and Product Manager Organic Precision Fires (OPF) portfolios under solicitation M6785426I1018.
The Q&A addresses five substantive inquiries concerning staffing, facility requirements, and operational scope. Key clarifications include: (1) onsite support at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and Aberdeen Proving Ground requires one full-time equivalent (FTE) per location for acquisition and future requirements development, with duplicative language removed from PWS Section 4.6; (2) software development occurs at a contractor facility rather than a Government DevSecOps environment; (3) the Government will provide its own transportation for tactical vehicles, with contractor shipping costs treated as other direct costs if required; (4) detailed facility specifications should reference PWS Section 8.0 regarding contractor facilities; and (5) only COMSEC storage is required, not secret-level or higher security clearance for the secure laboratory. The document is dated April 8, 2026, and indicates this information is distributed to the Department of Work community only.
