  the D/TO level as applicable.

74
Questions and Answers

• Question Relative to the 5,000 funding added
  by Mod -01 to the basic contract, since the value
  is not to be exceeded, and to insure the
  appropriate internal Contractor billing is set
  up, will the Government entertain a change in
  contract type to Firm Fixed Price? This
  contractor bases its accounting structure on
  contract type and Cost Reimbursable implies that
  all costs associated with the Post Award
  Conference will be reimbursed.
• Answer This funding was established in Task
  Order 0001, not Mod -01. The Government expects
  that all primes will ensure that their costs
  associated with the Post Award Conference DO NOT
  exceed 5,000, as this is the ceiling for the
  conference and is the maximum the Government will
  pay (travel should be less than 5,000 and the
  balance is to be included as labor). We are not
  able to change the contract type of the order.
  If further information is required, we will
  engage directly with the primes on this issue.

77
Questions and Answers

  a list of SETA contractors to each Prime
  Contractor to insure that the appropriate
  Proprietary Information Agreements are in place
  for the basic IDIQ contract/model contract?
