First and foremost, thank you for providing your valuable feedback. Through this RFI process, the public provided a substantial volume of comments, questions, recommendations, and the identification of administrative errors. Subsequently, there were many duplicate questions provided in this process, and for the sake of efficiency, GSA has consolidated the duplicate questions to provide a concise response to the public (please see attachment, RFI response 7.2023). Regarding the comments that involve recommendations, administrative corrections, and the inclusion of corresponding documents and forms, GSA plans to issue a comprehensive Draft RFP in Q1, FY24. Due to the variety and differing levels of complexity of questions received, GSA will be releasing responses in phases. The questions and responses associated with this response have been reviewed and verified. Other questions requiring additional time in order to provide a complete response will be answered in a future publication. We thank you, once again, for your participation in the RFI process. We look forward to continuing our engagement with the public on the development and solicitation of the Alliant 3 GWAC.
