The document addresses questions regarding a recompete contract for group exercise classes in Germany, clarifying that services must be delivered 100% physically on-site with physically present instructors. The contract is a recompete of FA560621P0012, which expired November 30, 2025, and is a near contract. Contractors are responsible for meeting all PWS requirements, and while local instructors can be subcontracted, the contract must be fulfilled. A full-time, on-site Contract Manager, who is a military member (COR), is required for day-to-day operations and should be priced as part of the overall CLIN for LPTA evaluation. Off-site management is insufficient as all instructors must teach on-site.
