9 The Government’s response to previously asked question #58 “DRFP CLINS 0X03 AA/AB/AC define flight hour (FH) bands for each site. Please define how contractors will be notified when the Government will changes to a different FH band. For example, will a band be in place for an entire year and then be subject to change? Will the Government provide a lead notification prior to changing bands (e.g. 60 days notification prior to change)?” stated that No lead notifications will be provided.

a. Please clarify that the contractor could potentially have to adjust on a day-to-day basis without the ability to plan or forecast staffing adjustments for FH band changes.

b. This approach could potentially set up the contractor for poor performance trying to adjust to unpredictable Government changes.

c. Recommend the Government provide a notification period that allows the contractor to maximize effective contract support.

17 Reference Section B, O&A Tables B-2 (table for CLIN X006 – X008).

a. The instruction stated “The government is providing the estimate of direct labor and fringe as a total dollar amount for each labor category.” However, the table shows total dollars for all 3 labor positions. Will the government provide a revised table to show cost for each labor category?

b. Additionally, per instructions for Attachment L-7, bidders are required to provide cost build-up details for CLINX006-X008, but given that base cost (cost + fringe) is already provided in Section B, O&A Tables B-2, will the Government provide an updated L-7 with the cost calculation that equals to the cost for all 3 labor positions in B-2? If the Government does not intends to provide an updated table, please advise as to how bidders should complete L-7 in relation to the base cost (cost up to fringe) as the final calculated price for each labor category and effectively the L-7, O&A table B-2, Pricing Matrix, and Section B would not match.

If so, when will this interface capability be provided in order to assure development and validation prior to full performance - contract start? iv.) Please clarify what is meant by “real-time”.

i/ii.) No.The WIS system is required for at a minimun CDRL reporting requirements. It is not meant to be a dupicate for NALCOMIS or DECKPLATE, so no interaface is necessary. It is to replace the mail or e-mail method of suibmission for the CDRL reports to an active database, hence the "real-time" description.

iii.) No interface is available.

iv.) In this context, real-time is meant to be the most current up to date information made available with in an hour of entry into the WIS system.
