QUESTIONS ANSWERS 17JAN2025

Questions and Answers Between Occupancy Maintenance (BOM) FY24

17 January 2025

Q1: Attachment I Historical Workload Date is labelled as “AFH” and does not appear to be AFH data because it maps exactly to the “UPH” part of the pricing sheets rather than the AFH pricing sheets.

- Will the Government provide the “AFH” historical work load data as referenced?

- Would the Government consider reconciling both pricing sheet quantities to the historical workload data?

- Where there is no historical workload data but there is a pricing sheet requirement, would the Government consider providing plug numbers for both AFH and UPH?

Government Response to Q1: The Historical Workload data has been updated to reflect both AFH and UPH information. The Historical Workload data has also been removed from the PWS and is now a standalone document.

The PWS has been updated to reflect this change and the Historical Workload data is now available to download as a separate document.

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

Should anything in this paragraph conflict with AE Reg 190-16 or AE Regulation 604-1, the regulation takes precedent.

The Contractor shall be aware of and comply with the requirements associated with Installation Access Control. The Government is not liable for any costs associated with performance delays due solely to a firm’s failure to comply with Installation Access Control System (IACS) processing requirements.
