- Description
- Sixth set of questions and answers: 1. In the Timeline and Deadlines section, page 29, the BAA states that awards are anticipated by the fourth quarter 15 Oct of FY09. Since October does not fall within Q4 of the governments fiscal year, please clarify the anticipated award date is it FY09Q4 Jul-Sep 2009, 15 October 2009 2010Q4, or a different timeframe? Response: You are correct, in juggling the schedule; we slipped some and did not account for the fiscal quarter update. Hence when we speak of 15 Oct 2009, In Government terms it is referred to the 1st Qtr of FY09. Hence award date is anticipated for the 1st Qtr of FY09. The following FY clarifications are provided for the benefit of those not familiar with the Government fiscal years. Such fiscal years are typically numbered using a calendar year and quarter thereof. A fiscal quarter is 3 months 1/4 of a year. For example, the United States government http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States fiscal year for 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008 FY08, sometimes written FY0708 is as follows: *1st Quarter: October 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007 December 31 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_31, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007 *2nd Quarter: January 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_1, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008 March 31 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_31, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008 *3rd Quarter: April 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_1, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008 June 30 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_30, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008 *4th Quarter: July 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_1, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008 September 30 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_30, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008 2. Are there any restrictions for foreign nationals or ITAR to work on the BAA-related tasks? Response: Even though the BAA did not state restrictions, on either foreign nationals or for that matter International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the guidance here is to refrain from either case.
