Question 1 (SMEP Revision 2 Section 5) - Is it the Governments intent to encourage offerors to designate all personnel as "KEY" to shift the burden of providing office space onto the Government?
ANSWER: No, that is not the intent. The intent is for the Task Lead to be considered Key Personnel. The personnel who will be provided with government space are: 1) the overall task lead; 2) one regional task lead at each GCC; and 3) one analytics position to support Section 2.9 of the PWS at PACOM and CENTCOM. Amendment 0003 will revise Section 5 accordingly.

Question 2 (SMEP Resumes) - Should offerors provide resumes for all positions performing Key Leader Engagement support and all positions offeror designates to use Government space at supported combatant commands? Or should offerors follow the Instructions and only submit a resume for the Task Lead?
ANSWER: Amendment 0003 will revise Attachment 7 ITO Paragraph 1.a. to reflect the following:
The Task Lead and Regional Task Leads who will work out in the GCCs are
considered Key Personnel that require a resume IAW L2.3.1.
