# Summary of Q&A Changes **No substantive changes detected.** The PREVIOUS and UPDATED Q&A sections are identical across all 12 questions and answers. Q2 remains marked "TBD" and Q12 appears truncated in both versions with no updates or new clarifications provided.

# Q&A Changes Summary **Updated Answer:** - **Q1**: Modified to reflect Phase II award details: increased maximum value from $250,000 to $1,500,000 and extended period of performance from 6 months to 12 months. Technical volume page limit remains 15 pages. **New Questions Added:** - **Q11**: Confirms that independently generated feasibility evidence linked to DAF/USSF use cases is acceptable, even without Government participation. - **Q12**: Addresses acceptability of commercially validated demonstrations for satisfying Phase I-type feasibility requirements without prior Government contracts (answer appears truncated).

# Summary of Q&A Changes **New Q&A Added:** Q1 now addresses a critical conflict between governing documents regarding Phase I Technical Volume page limits—clarifying the 15-page limit is controlling (with 10 pages for technical content plus 5 for cover/TOC/glossary), and that the 10-slide deck is a Phase II deliverable, not Phase I. **Renumbered:** Original Q1-Q15 shifted to Q2-Q16 due to the new clarification question. **Key Change:** The new Q1 removes ambiguity on a submission requirement that could have caused proposal rejections, while noting the slide-deck requirement moves to Phase II with details to follow in Phase I contracts.

# Q&A Changes Summary **New Answer Added:** - **Q8** now answered: Government will NOT release additional use case or decision workflow guidance to avoid constraining solutions and encourage creativity. **Key Change:** Q8 shifts from "Response Pending" to a definitive statement that offerors should develop solutions without expecting further government guidance on priority use cases or data domains.
