| Para 1.5.3.1 | Paragraph indicates N7 SMART scheduled (not to exceed 30 in a 12 month period). Can the Government provide any past or current year history on the location of these inspections (CONUS/OCONUS) and/or basic estimate on "15 expected to be CONUS", "15 expected to be OCONUS" to provide for a more realistic idea on where these inspections are executed across a global operational fleet. There is nothing in the PWS that provides any type of idea as to how extensive travel can/could be in support of these inspections as the wording only indicates "Not to exceed 30 in a 12 month period". | Refer to PWS and Attachments 6A-6E. Refer to PWS and Technical Exhibit (TE) 3. | |
| General/Technical | Are Sub-Contractors acceptable and allowed to perform specific pieces of the PWS? | Yes, as long as they meet the contractual requirements. | |
| FS01 CDRL | FS01 CDRL still lists MRE and FCT language that was supposedly taken out of the PWS. | FS01 has been updated. | |

| The PWS outlines different numbers of assist visits based off of the specialty of the TSAs, what is the projected/desired total number of Assit Visits and how many will require non-local in the area travel? | Please see PWS paragraph 5.4.6, the various attachments addressing assist visits, and Technical Exhibit (TE) 3. | ||

There is no prohibition from hot-seating TSAs in the office with an alternating in office/telework option/agreement. | |
