    Industry Day Q and A_28-30-32.pdf
    The document addresses key questions related to a government contract, likely an RFP or similar solicitation, focusing on engineering support, prime contractors, and fee structures. The government confirms that Field Engineering (FE) install support for both new and existing platforms will be part of this contract, including provisions for addressing design discrepancies during installation. While encouraging all interested contractors to propose, the government currently does not plan to separate requirement elements for small business set-asides but encourages small businesses to participate as subcontractors or primes. The government is open to considering an incentive fee structure based on delivery schedule, departing from the cost-based structure used in a previous solicitation (TI-26), and invites suggestions for such a model. Leonardo DRS is identified as the current prime contractor for this contract.
