The PPA and CDRL will both state 90 days after award with 7 business days for read-ahead.
• Ammunition Mix: The desired ammunition mix for Increments 1-3 is correlated with option exercises, allowing procurement of projectiles, propellants, and primers together based on need.
• Proposal Submission - Safety Assessment Report (SAR): Due to page count limitations, the SAR can be included in Volume 3, Substantiating Documentation.
• Proposal Submission - Text within Graphics: Text within graphics is considered "hidden" only if it's not visible to the unassisted eye. Text in tables, maps, or pictures is acceptable.
• Cost and Pricing Data: Numerous questions regarding detailed cost and pricing data requirements (Appendix E, Attachment 019) will be addressed by removing these references in Amendment 01. The Government will rely on price analysis techniques.
• Technical Data Package (TDP) Format: Offerors can propose red-line amendments to CDRLs and PPA regarding TDP format. Contractor CAGE codes and document numbers are acceptable for TDPs as the USG is not the design authority.
• Milestone Payment Schedules: The Government is not considering progress payments but will entertain proposals with additional sub-milestones.

Several sections and attachments will be corrected or updated via Amendment 01 to address discrepancies and clarify requirements. The removal of detailed cost data requirements significantly impacts proposal preparation for bidders, particularly non-traditional defense contractors.
