The solicitation states that "Information outlined in (a) through (b) is also to be provided for each sub-contractor ."

The Government is requested to re-assess and delete its requirements relative to subcontractors for (a)(5), (a)(6), (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5) and (b)(6). If the Government will not eliminate these requirements, then it is recommended that the delivery schedule for the Pre-Award Information package be changed to some number of days after award (which is really the only time that subcontractors will be 100% known and motivated to provide such information).
