Instructions will be provided when Amendment is posted on 25JUN2024.

Updated 17 June 24- Amendment 0003 is published to correct period of perfrmance dates in the delivery section. It is also noted to ask vendors to resubmit proposals reflecting the new POP and their pricing. Offerors are instructed to fill out blocks 8 and 14 of the document titled "SF30_FA701424R00370002" acknowledging receipt of the changes. If you have previously submitted, a new submission is required.

Update 31May24 - Amendment 0002 is published to remove overly restrictive language ("for which they were the prime contractor") in the Atch2 Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, para. 5, Past Performance Volume. Accordingly, the proposal submission deadline is extended to 25 June and the CLIN 0001-0004 periods of performance are amended to reflect the revised acquisition schedule:

**CLIN 0001:** 27 Sep 24 - 11 Nov 24 CLIN 0002-0004: 12 Nov 24 - 31 Mar 25 Offerors are instructed to fill out blocks 8 and 14 of the document titled "SF30_FA701424R00370002" acknowledging receipt of the changes.

Update 3May24 - Updated Vendor Q&A document with final vendor questions (starting at #20). Added Solicitation Amendment 0001, reflecting two minor changes:

1) Atch1 PWS para. 1.1.1. now reflects the response provided to question 3 in the Vendor Q&A on 22 April;

2) Atch2 para 4. removed font size limitation due to typographical error. Due to the minor, administrative nature of these changes, the proposal submission deadline remains unchanged. In addition to the established proposal submission requirements, offerors are instructed to fill out blocks 8 and 14 of the SF30 Solicitation Amendment, acknowledging receipt of the changes. Update 26Apr24 - Updated Vendor Q&A document to reflect additional questions. Update 24Apr24 - Updated Vendor Q&A document to reflect 1 additional question.
