Ref. Questions #362 and #376 - The entire worksheet tab is now editable by the Offeror so that the Offeror can present the required information in an easy to read format. The Government provided information may be removed at Part III when completing the tab.

1.c. The Government’s answer to question 326 confirms that the entire Volume IX is only the Attachment J-4 pricing template, 3 parts, and that there is no additional content to submit.

Volume IX is an exception to section L.10.3 Indexing, that requires volumes to contain a detailed table of contents to delineate the sections and subparagraphs within that volume.

1.d. For clarification tab entitled “Part I, B4 CLIN Rate Table” does not pull over any of the year values from the FC1 and FC2 tabs for rows 3 or 4. This is the Government’s intent and is not changed.
