To ensure you receive timely notifications of all amendments and updates to this posting, we strongly encourage all interested parties to use the "Follow" feature within SAM.gov. To do so:

  2. Navigate to this notice page.
  3. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the "..." (three dots) button.

Why this is important:

  • Notification: Once you follow this notice, SAM.gov will automatically send an email to your account whenever it is amended or updated.
  • Correct Links: Each update to a SAM.gov posting generates a new, unique web link. Bookmarking a page or using an old link will take you to an outdated version. The email notification you receive from following the notice will always contain a direct link to the latest version.
  • Verification: The upper right corner of a posting shows a "Version" box, however it always displays "Current Record" regardless of what version you are viewing. You must manually check the version dates using the dropdown and select the latest. Following a posting and using the emailed link ensures you are viewing the latest version and avoids having to manually verify.
