Question: CLIN 5008 and SLIN 5008FA were changed from “RESERVED” to “Option Year Six – Post Delivery Support” in Amendment 0001. When the hours provided in Section B are compared against Attachment J-25 and the CLIN/SLIN numbering scheme, this Item appears to align with Option Year Five.

SLIN 8006JA was changed from “Option Year Eight – New Construction” to “RESERVED” in Amendment 0001. The title for this SLIN in the conformed Section B still reads “Option Year Eight – New Construction”.

Should the title of CLIN 5008 and SLIN 5008FA read “Option Year Five – Post Delivery Support”? If so, will the government provide a revised Section B to correct the title?

Will the Government provide a revised Section B to correct the title to “RESERVED” for SLIN

8006JA?

Answer: The Government will revise the descriptions of CLIN 5008 and SLIN 5008FA in Section B to read “Option Year Six – Post Delivery Support” and SLIN 8006JA to read “RESERVED”. This change will be incorporated in a forthcoming amendment.
