AMENDMENT 01

1.  Question:  Is there CAD that can be shared besides just the drawings?

      Answer:  No CAD is available

2.  Quesion: The pricing submittal does not have separate Tooling or Engineering lines.  With this, we would assume that you would want us to spread these costs across the total parts builds.  Is this correct?

      Answer:  It is a business decision as to how costs are spread/proposed.  The Government does not provide input on that decision.

AMENDMENT 02

Question: Does the Government posess any of the prior manufacturing documentation for these components?

Answer:  We have no such documentation to offer.
