Question/Comment & Requested Action

CLINs 0001 and 0011 are completion tasks identified in Section B to be CPIF, and the hours for these two CLINs are not included in the total level of effort of 1,408,300 man-hours. Will the government offer guidance on how to estimate and price these two CLINs, 0001 and 0011, after the entire LOE has already been allocated across the other CLINs in Section B?

The 1,408,300 man-hours are for LOE CLINs only. The 1,408,300 man-hours do not include completion CLINs 0001 and 0011. The Government will not provide hours for the completion CLINs 0001 and 0011. The Contractor shall price completion CLINs 0001 and 0011 based on their experience and knowledge and provide BOEs.
