The offeror is currently required to submit the 5 page PPEQ (Attachment 0009) and a narrative for major subcontractors, with a limit for each reference being 8 pages, would the Government consider removing the PPEQ from page count to allow for a more comprehensive PP Reference response?

Will the Government also confirm that we only need to include the PPEQ one time in the proposal response?

Would the Government consider that the major subcontractor narrative be excluded from the page count as well to allow for a more comprehensive response to why the team was selected?
