Each company that will have access to the documents must complete and sign the attached "Harness_PIA_Template_r.docx" file in order to obtain access to the documents. The Points of Contact for providing the completed PIA(s) to are Mr. Corey Muir (corey.muir@us.af.mil) and Ms. Laurie Auernig (laurie.auernig@us.af.mil). Prospective offerors will need to submit an explicit access request in Beta SAM to obtain access to these documents. However, the Government will not approve access until the PIA(s) are fully executed. Companies that have already received these documents during the "draft RFP" phase and already have a PIA on file, do not need to submit another PIA. The PIA still remains in full force and effect.
3. The PIA referenced in Paragraph 2 will cover only pre-award. Successful offerors will need to sign a separate Technical Data License (TDL) with LM at award. A draft of the TDL titled "Draft Technical Data License for F16 Wiring Harness Awardee" is attached for the information and reference of prospective offerors.
4. The “Reference_Documents.zip” file attachment is a compilation of the reference documents requested and provided during the draft RFP phase.
5. The rest of the attachments are part of the RFP and/or applicable attachments.
