FCI Thomson - Refinish Epoxy in Showers

The Government hereby cancels Solicitation No. 25ZA496 for epoxy refinishing materials at FCI Thomson. During review of the Statement of Work, a material error was identified in the square footage requirements. The solicitation currently reflects 33,800 square feet of epoxy flooring, but the correct requirement is 4,200 square feet.

Because this error materially affects scope, pricing, and competition, the Government has determined that cancellation is necessary in accordance with FAR 14.404-1(c)(1), which requires cancellation when inadequate or ambiguous specifications are cited. A revised solicitation will be issued once the Statement of Work and Independent Government Estimate have been corrected and funding confirmed. Vendors are encouraged to monitor SAM.gov for the reposted requirement.
