The file's text, extracted by GovTribe without its formatting.

1) Section: SF 1449 continuation sheet.

Comment:

‐CLIN 0001 is for mobilization and CLIN 0002 is for Positioning of Aircraft Quantity 6.

‐In CLIN 0005, demobilization, it has a quantity of 001 with no CLIN for de‐positioning.

Question:

-Is CLIN 0002 quantity 6 for the positioning of 6 aircraft, 2 at each site?

Positioning 2 aircraft at each site is what the Government estimated as necessary to perform the mission. Because this is performance based, it is up to the Offeror to determine what resources (number of aircraft) they would need to carry out the mission and the Offeror should clearly identify their capabilities in their proposal. The Government is not mandating the number of aircraft being positioned.

-Is CLIN 0005 to include all demobilization costs and de-positioning costs for all aircraft? Or does the Government anticipate adding a de-positioning CLIN as well?

CLIN 0005 would include the costs for all demobilization costs, including de-positioning aircraft. The Government does not intend to add a CLIN.

2) Section: 1.2.4 Comment: Section 1.2.4 states “The USG anticipates between 200 and 350 hours per month (includes all locations)” Question: Please confirm there are no guaranteed hours.

There are no guarantee hours for Flight hours.

3) IAW PWS section 5.2.12, Facility Security Clearance along with Personnel security clearances in PWS 5.2.13 are required. Please verify if the prime contractor must hold a security clearance.

The PWS clearly indicates Secret Security Clearances are required.
