Solicitation: M0068127Q0003
Title of Requirement: MCMWTC Ski Training
Q&A #1-39 as of 16 October 2026
Questions
CLIN 0002 lists 500 nights, but the room counts in
PWS Section 4.2 add up to 518 room-nights. Which
quantity should be priced?

Answers
518 nights total, Solicitation will be amended to
reflect the proper quantity.

Do the option years use the same quantities (80 passes, 500 nights) and similar training dates as the base year?

Anticipate similar training dates and quantity of
room nights for option years.

Does FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting,
apply to this requirement? If so, will lodging and season passes purchased from resorts or hotels be treated as
other direct costs?

FAR 52.219-14 does not currently apply to this
requirement, based on the Government’s current
cost estimate.

4.1 Is it acceptable for the resort to issue passes that can be reassigned among a roster of authorized MCMWTC
personnel?
4.2 Are there limits on administrative transfer
procedures?
4.3 Also, where a resort's published seasonal opening is later than November 15, is that acceptable only if
attributable to the PWS's weather/safety exceptions, or is a later scheduled opening permissible?
4.4 Would the Government accept individually issued
passes that can be reassigned among authorized
personnel through the resort, or must each pass itself be transferable?
4.5 If the resort does not offer a qualifying season pass, would scheduled-day lift tickets be acceptable?

About how many personnel and training days per block
need cross-country ski access?

May the contractor invoice for the 80 season passes once they are delivered and activated?

4.1 MCMWTC requires transferable passes, no

blackout dates, valid 15 Nov 2026-30 Apr 2027;
4.2 Yes, transferable passes must be a block of
passes for MCMWTC to (once activated and
delivered) manage and issue to learners and staff
to provide efficient training.
4.3 Maybe, as long as the resort is open in some
capacity (cross country and downhill access to
support desired training) no later 30 Nov 2026
IAW ST1.
4.4 No, at the time of contract award MCMWTC
will only know half of the personnel using the
passes (staff) and the other half (students) will
continue to enroll in the courses (STs 4 & 6
blocks) through early 2027. We are seeking
flexibility to support staff progressions and
fluctuating class rosters through March.
