Question 9: PWS 6.2; DID 860, but the current account has 660. Do you want an additional DID priced out?

Answer 9: We currently have 660 and want to maintain those. We want to add an additional 200 for a total of 860.

Question 10: PWS, 6.13 LD & Intl; recommends a separate CLIN for overages and INTL. Do you have any idea at this point current usage?

Answer 10: We currently use on average 6500 LD minutes per month. This includes international;

however, international makes up for around 45-60 minutes a month. International charges will vary depending on world events and mission requirements. Furthermore, we project a slight increase in LD going forward due to DSN service changes. The NTE amount for that CLIN should support any overages and international charges that would be incurred.
