Amendment 02

1. Inclusion of Options for CLIN 0003 FPE, 0004 Exercise and 0005 Travel.
There has been a decision to incorporate options to CLINs 0003, 0004, and 0005 due to the uncertainty of the construction at Tyndall AFB, FL. This will benefit the Government and the contractor as manpower will not be wasted if the exercise is cancelled by Air Combat Command (ACC). The terms of the option will be 60/90. The Government will make the decision to exercise the option no later than 90 days prior to the performance date of the Final Planning Event (CLIN 0003) and the Exercise (CLIN 0004). The Travel CLIN (0005) will be exercised simultaneously with the Exercise CLIN. If CLINs 0003 - 0005 are to be exercised the  modification will be awarded no later than 60 days prior to performance of each.

3. Change in section 1.6.1 that the AAR is to be virtual and not in person, but the contractor must be available at specific time frames in drafting the AAR and presenting the AAR. "The drafting of the AAR for the Spring exercise shall be 19 May, 22 May, and 23 May 2023.
