The size standard certified to by the Prime for their contract is valid for the ordering period and duration of any resultant Contract and Delivery Order issued against this solicitation."

For reference, previous RFP (N6449817R4004) had same SOW and NAICS Code of 336611 and current RFP has a preponderance (61%) of work, measured by hours, in blue collar labor categories, leading this offeror to believe that Section K (pg 180) is incorrect.
