Questions and Answers for W912P9-19-R-0035

1. “D – Past Performance” indicates “a blank Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) can be found attached to this synopsis/solicitation”, however, it appears the PPQ has not been included. Please provide the PPQ form and consider extending the due date of the proposal by seven days to allow us time to compensate for what is an inherent time consuming request/process. Alternatively, to save time and the need for a time extension, waive the PPQ requirement and require the Point of Contact information for the client.
