**Key Changes to Q&A:** 1. **New Q1 added:** Clarifies the topic is NOT export-controlled (ITAR/EAR). 2. **Renumbering:** All subsequent questions shifted down by one number due to the new export control question. 3. **Q10 truncated:** The final answer about BMS additional functionality appears incomplete in the updated version (ends mid-sentence with "We cannot comment on an offeror's proposed..."), whereas the previous version had a complete answer. All other questions and answers remain substantively unchanged; only numbering was affected by the insertion of the export control clarification.
