*** End of Narrative A0000 ***

The purpose of Amendment 0003 to solicitation W15QKN-17-R-0006 is to answer the following question(s) from industry:

Q1. Should we add in additional lines in order to propose two rates for each theater labor category, including one fully loaded with

H&H applied to the first 40 hours of each work week, and one fully loaded without H&H applied to hours in excess of 40 hours per work week"?

A1. No, only one labor rate for each Theater labor category should be provided. Contractor employees stationed in Afghanistan are required to work 84 hours per week. The fully loaded labor rate (with any differentials) shall be utilized for the full 84 hours.

To clarify additional questions regarding differentials (hazard/danger pay, post-hardship differential, etc.) the following information is provided.

Although 5 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 5928 applies to Government personnel, it serves as a guide for contracting personnel as well. This statute states that the total of all differntials cannot exceed 35 percent.

In reference to the above, Offerors are reminded that this is a competitive acquisition and application of any differentials is a business decision.

****AS A RESULT OF THIS AMENDMENT, THE SOLICITATION CLOSING DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM 24 MARCH 2017 TO 28 MARCH 2017 AT 2:00 PM

EST)****

Section L, paragraph 5.2.2(5) has also been changed to reflect the extension.
