Contractor Attendance at TSA Sponsored Training (January 2003) 2. B.3, page 4 In regards to the mention of TSA being tax exempt, will the government name us as a buyer for the government? Otherwise, the contractor will be required to pay sales tax. TSA answer - Yes, the Government will designate the prime contractor as a buyer. 3. Top paragraph, page 5 What is the ceiling cap referenced on page 5? There is no ceiling cap listed as referenced in the paragraph. TSA answer - No ceiling has yet been established.

C.2, page 6 Under the example list of potential hazardous materials voluntarily abandoned, ammunition, blasting caps, dynamite, fireworks and flares are listed. These are classified as High Hazardous and the requirements to handle such items differ from the others listed in the example given. Will you be adding a CLIN to cover the pickup and disposal of high hazardous material? Taking into consideration this may only happen 10 times annually, the services required for high haz and resources needed significantly impact the costs incurred. Are these types of costs to be provided as an ODC for these exceptional occurrences? TSA answer - All disposal is to be covered under CLIN 00003 and its associated option year CLINs. Information as to the frequency has been provided to assist the offeror in constructing a single pickup and per container disposal price. 5.
