RFI-USDA-APFO-0008 Amendment 1, Q&A October 27, 2017 Question: Questions in the RFI are similar to other contracts currently held and not sure how to proceed with response.
Answer: The questions relate to the draft RFP. Please feel free to respond only to those you would have input for. At this point in time we are only seeking information regarding our planned requirement, not responses that could be considered for any type of award. It might not be clear from the draft RFP and RFI the scope of work for this potential contract would be about 1,055,858 square miles of collection within a 4-5 month widow.
Question: Can you provide updated 2018 NAIP data acquisition windows for each state or are the “example” date ranges contained within “Attachment 2” of the draft RFP current?
Answer: Attachment 2 of the draft RFP contains the current acquisition windows for the 17 2018 priority states. There is a correction to Maine in the table below (all of the potential states). There are typically only one or two states each year with changes to the acquisition windows.
