The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0002

1. The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to vendor questions as follows:

Question 1: Section F Period of Performance indicates the base year (Year 1) PoP is from “March 2016 to March 2017.” Given that a Country Clearance requires a mandatory 30-day period, will the Govt. allow for a “Mobilization Period” of up to 60 days to process individuals (CETS) for the Country Clearance and additional time to apply for or process (renew) VISA’s?

Answer 1: Yes, the government will allow 60 days for "mobilization period".

Question 2: Assuming an affirmative answer to Q1 above, reference. Section B, would this Mobilization Period be included in the Year 1 POP and billings?

Answer 2: Yes.

Question 3: Assuming an affirmative answer to Q1 above, could this Mobilization Period be utilized to provide OEM and/or P-3 Taiwan-specific configuration training? Will the government pay all travel, lodging, and per diem expenses directly associated with such an orientation?

Answer 3: This period can be used for training and familiarization, but any expense for training (travel, lodging, per diem or other related expenses) will NOT be borne by the Government. After contract award and upon request, the Government can provide Taiwan technical publications and a guide book on how the Taiwan Air Force operates which can be used for familiarization with P-3 Taiwan-specific configuration.

Question 4: Reference Section B, CLINs 0001, 0005, 0009, 0013, 0017 (Labor/Services): the RFP indicates these CLINs are to be Firm Fixed Price (FFP). Section G also includes DFARS 252.204-7006 (Billing Instructions). Can the Govt. please clarify how are these CLINs to be billed and paid? Will it be agreeable if the Contractor proposes to bill the FFP CLIN price each month, i.e. at 1/12 of the awarded CLIN price for the Labor (services)?

Answer 4: Yes.

Question 5: How are CLINs 0002/0003 through 0018/0019 (Travel and P/D, Relocation /Housing) to be billed? Note these are Cost –type CLINs; does the Govt. intend for these to be billed (invoiced) monthly?

Answer 5: Monthly billing is acceptable.

Question 6: Section E indicates Inspection & Acceptance of the Services will be at origin, with 5252.246-9512 indicating that Acceptance shall be performed by DCMA. This appears to be in conflict with other sections of the RFP. Can you supply clarification?

Answer 6: Inspection & Acceptance will be performed by DCMA with input from the Contracting Officers Representative.

2. Except as provided herein, all other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
