CLIN # 0003 in Solicitation # FA4861-09-R-B009 CATV and Internet Access for Nellis and Creech AFBs indicates an estimated total of 100 Billeting Basic Drops per month. However on PWS Appendix A, Lodging 1139 drops are indicated. Also 0n section 1.5.4 specifies that the Billeting Basic is only required for the 99 SVS Billeting Office on Nellis AFB. Which of these numbers is correct? CLIN 0003 estimates 1200 drops. This is consistent with the 1139 drops on appendix A. The 99 SVS Billeting Office is composed of the base lodging facilities, and is not one drop in itself.
