- Description
- This amendment to the combined synopsis/solicitation provides answers to the questions received, adjusts the options requested and adjusts the response date. Questions and Answers: The question we received from several sources was based on the fact that the manufacturer did not provide future dated pricing at the time of this RFQ's posting. Renewals were quoted in one, two or three year packages. The Government cannot fund future year requirements with current year funding. It cannot, therefore, purchase two and three year packages with current funding. In the case of software updates/support, the requirement has to be verified as required each year. Therefore, the Government asks for option years to be priced and, though the Government intends to exercise the options established, it is after the need is verified and the funding is available. We have spoken with the manufacturer. We understand that they will provide pricing for the base period, which is currently funded, and two, one-year, option periods. Therefore, the options requested below are limited to only two out-years. That change is hereby incorporated. +++++++++++++++++++++++ This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared under FAR Part 13.5 and in accordance with (IAW) the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
