*** End of Narrative A0000 ***

The purpose of Amendment 0001 to Solicitation # W15QKN-20-R-0104 as follows:

1. Remove Labor Category Description "L. Clerical/Administrative" from Section B0001 Narrative. This labor category is not required and was included in the original solicitation in error.

2. Revise Section L0002 Narrative (Volume III, Paragraph 3.3, Section 3 - Subcontracts) to clarify the Government's requirement.

3. Revise an error found in the first paragraph of Attachment 0003 - Non-Disclosure and Non-Use Agreement NRE.

4. Document the following questions received from potential offerors and provide USG responses:

Question 1: There is only one tab for FFP pricing which is a summary of the five years (FFP OP1-5). Does the USG want only a summary page with all five years or do they also require separate tabs for each year of FFP pricing?

USG Response 1: The FFP price proposal does not require all of the subcontracting data that CPFF does, therefore only one FFP pricing tab is needed.

Question 2: There are five tabs for CPFF, but not summary tab similar to the FFP one referenced above. Does the USG require a summary tab of all five years of CPFF pricing?

USG Response 2: The overall summary tab shows the summary for FFP and CPFF. No further summary for CCFF is needed.

Question 3: The labor hours and material and travel dollar amounts in the FFP summary tab are 1/3 of the amount shown in the CPFF individual yearly tabs. Are these correct or would you like us to have the same amounts in FFP summary as the CPFF tabs?

USG Response 3: The labor hours and material and travel dollar amounts should not be adjusted and should not be the same for FFP and

CPFF. These amounts are for evaluation purposes only. Specific FFP/CPFF Labor Hours/Material/Subcontracts/Travel/ODCs will be proposed, evaluated and negotiated under each order.

Question 4: Will the Government clarify what information is required in Section 3 of the Past Performance volume?

USG Response 4: Section L0002 Narrative, Volume III, Paragraph 3.3, Section 3 - Subcontracts, language has been updated to clarify required information.

5. All other terms and conditions of this solicitation remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
