Five additional questions: 22 October, 2012

1) QUESTION: Reference Page 56, Section L.9 – “Part E – Security Clearance Requirement page limit is 2 pages”. Page 53, Section L.7.2 of the RFP states, “ there is a six (6) page . . . limit on Volume II, Part E, Evidence of Having or Obtaining the Required Facility Clearance”.

Question: Please clarify whether Volume II, Part E, Security Clearance Requirement is limited to 2 or 6 pages.

ANSWER: Section L.9 should read, “2 pages per company”. Section L,.7.2 was based on an assumption that there would be as many as 3 companies proposed.

2) QUESTION: Amd. 1 and Amd. 2 changed the page count for the Facility Clearance in RFP pg. 51, Section L.7.2 to 6 pages for Vol. II, Part E to 6 pages. However page 55, Section L.9, Part E states 2 pages. We assume 6 pages are allotted and may be used for this section.
