2, and the requirements set forth below. There are no page limitations for this volume.

Section 1 Phase-In (FFP)

1. The estimated Period of Performance for Task Order 0001 is 07 December 2017 to 06 December 2018.

2. Offerors shall provide a Firm-Fixed-Price for the Phase-In Plan, CLIN 0015. The Phase-In period of performance shall be for a period of 60 days.
