A1: No. This requirement is for clean-up, not food preparation. Please see the Performance Work

Statement (PWS) for establishment of contractor responsibilities.

Q2: What is the sq. ft. for kitchen and dining room?

A2: Middletown location: approximately 6,400 sq ft.; Ft. Indiantown Gap location: approximately

Per the PWS, “the contractor shall at all times maintain an adequate work force for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within

[the] PWS”. Failure to provide an adequate workforce to accomplish all required tasks, may result in termination for cause and negatively impact the contractors’ ability to secure future Government contracts due to the record of negative past performance that would follow a termination for cause.

Q5: Can you please provide the drill schedule?

A5: Due to Operational Security (OPSEC) concerns, the drill schedule will only be provided to the awardee after the contract is finalized and acceptance has occurred.

Q6: Are there any government employees that will be assisting in the kitchen during drill weekends, ie;

helping cook, clean or operate the clipper?

Q7: Does the contractor need to operate a "cash box," for paying customers? If so, does the contractor need to provide change funds for the box?

A8: Please see technical Exhibit 3 on page 8 of the PWS.

A9: No. Please see the PWS for establishment of contractor responsibilities.

Q10: Approximately, how long does payment take to process after submission through WAWF?

A10: Please see the policies federally established by the Prompt Payment Act at https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/prompt-payment/index.html. Bear in mind that the established timeline is dependent upon receipt of a proper* invoice. Rejected invoices do not constitute proper invoices and do not initiate the timeline. Only fully acceptable/accepted invoices (including DFAS acceptance) are considered proper. Rejection at any level is indicative of an improper invoice.
