Was it intended to say “…will evaluate the software Capability TIP]. | Please confirm if the sentence should read: “The Government will evaluate the software development process the Offeror will use to complete each [SEWTT, CIAT and NULKA Capability TIP]”. | The solicitation has been updated to clarify the meaning of the paragraph. |

| 29 | Attachment L-08 / Cost and Price Proposal Tables | N/A | Attachment L-08 / Sheet L-08B / Current Clearance Column | How should we enter the clearance information if we have more than one individual under the same labor category? | Please provide additional instructions. | The Government has considered the recommendation and determined no change to the solicitation is necessary.

| 30 | Solicitation | 113/114 & 120 | 3.1.2.3 Factor 3: Technical Approach / 2. Key Personnel |
3.2.1. Factor 6: Cost and Price
Section 2.1.1 Direct and Indirect Costs / Paragraph a.iii This section states that salary information shall not be included in the letters of intent. However, Section 2.2.1 on Page 120 states that letters of intent must include “agreed to salary”. We are assuming that two (2) versions of the Letter of Intent are required. One without salary for the Technical Volume and one with salary for the Cost Volume. Please confirm and/or provide clarification regarding this requirement. The Government has considered the recommendation and determined no change to the solicitation is necessary. The assumption is correct. No Cost/Price information shall be inclued in any volume other than Volume V. Letters of Intent are only required for Key Personnel, whether current employees or future employees to be included in Volume IV with no Cost/Price information. A second set of Letters of Intent for non-current future employees, key and non-key, shall be included in Volume V to include agreed to salary information.
