Also, PWS 1.2 Scope of work, specifically PWS 1.3.1, Performance Locations, "Performance locations include all DHA, (Air Force, Army, Navy MTFs/organizations, TRADOC, AFC, and AMC facilities." In reference to the above (PWS 1.1 and 1.3.1), the DHA website (health.mil) identifies "Military Treatment Facilities" as "55 full-service hospitals and more than 370 clinics, located on military installations around the world;" the total MTFs, according to DHA, is then 425 MTFs. The quantities in the CLINs do not appear to support training of personnel for 425 MTFs, could the Government please clarify the total number of MTFs supported by the resultant contract?	The total number of MTFs and other non-MTF organizations is as specified in para 1.1, and 1.3.1.

	On page 68-69, the paragraph numbering goes from 5.2.3 to 5.2.5. There is no 5.2.4. Is this intentionally omitted? Could the Govt please provide clarification?	The original para 5.2.4 was incorporated into para 5.2.3. This is a mis-numbering issue.
	On page 81, paragraph m.(3), it states that “sanitized” means to exclude information that pertains to the Offeror. An example is used that includes an “etc.” which could be unclear. Does this include brand names, approaches, or models that use terms such as “self-awareness,” “beyond-behavior,” or other identifiable terms? Or, does “sanitized” only refer to company-specific information?	Please refer to Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 paragraph, m(3).
