Section L, Part B, Paragraph 1.1

In the original solicitation, Section L, Part B, paragraph 1.1 requested offerors to provide their understanding and approach to SOW sections 3.1.4

(Software Duplication, Product Distribution, and

Materiel Coordination), 3.1.6 (Site Survey and

Preparation), and 3.1.8 (Customer Support). Per

Amendment 0001, these subparagraphs are now renumbered as 3.1.5, 3.1.7, and 3.1.9 in Section C, yet the instructions in Section L still refer to 3.1.4, 3.1.6, and 3.1.8. Are we to address different SOW elements in our response, or should the cross references in

Section L be updated to correspond with the revised numbering in Section C?

The correct numbering for Section L , Part B, Paragraph 1.1 is

3.1.5 - Software Duplication, Product

Distribution, and Materiel Coordination

3.1.7 - Site Survey and Preparation

3.1.9 - Customer Support

Amendment 0002 will be issued to correct the numbering in Section L to align with the revisions made to Section C in Amendment

0001.

4 It appears while the government renumbered the SOW section headings within 3.1, the changes did not track through to the original SOW paragraphs requested to be addressed within Section L. Did the government intend to change the section L SOW requirements also, or do they desire to keep the original paragraphs to be addressed consistent?
