NGA Response In your subject RFI, the RFI indicates: "White papers shall be in Microsoft Word for Office or compatible format and shall not exceed ten (7) pages (not including a cover page)."

Can you clarify if the limit is ten (10) or seven

(7) pages?

The page limit for the white paper (also known as capability statement) is seven (7) pages of content. A title page or table of contents can be added in addition to the 7 pages of content.

The white paper is to be submitted separate from the required response template. The required response template will not be included in the 7 page content limit set on the white paper. The required response template shall only be used to answer what is being asked and not to extend the white paper.

The limit is seven (7) pages.

According to the RFI, "Questions regarding this RFI should be submitted via the “ODIN_III_RFI_Response_Template” document."

Does that mean you wish us to complete the Response Template questions, and submit it with our questions appended to the bottom of the Template?

At time of question submission, the contractor should submit questions on the response template and can leave the existing template questions blank. At time of white paper submission, Contractor shall submit the white paper and the response template separately, where the white paper does not exceed 7 pages of content.

I assume then that we would then also re-submit the completed Template with the actual RFI Response by the 30th as well.

Yes, the RFI deadline is April 30, 2025, 1600EST.

We just wanted a quick clarification regarding the White Paper required for the response should that be 7 or 10 pages? Or did you mean it should be a maximum of 10 pages? Feel free to reach out should you have any questions.
