identified in the Draft SOW (Attachment 1). Please note the SOW has been
revised since the Sources Sought was posted 21 October 2019. Attendance
at the COMET Industry Day is not a requirement and in no way affects any

and/or a proposal in response to any forthcoming solicitation.

maximum amount of time for scheduling and making travel arrangements. The
COMET Industry Day, scheduled exclusively for the COMET acquisition on 11 March
