Update: 14 Oct 2016 Amendment 0002 has been posted. This amendment will replace the RFP and all its documents submitted on 10 Aug 2016 in their entirety. Based on the number of administrative changes the Acquisition Team determined this would be the most streamlined method to ensure industry does not miss any of the information. Also, Questions and Answers to questionsed submitted in response to the formal RFP are hereby posted. Update: 6 Oct 2016 Based on the high volume of questions received after RFP release, the Government is going to extend the proposal due date to 17 OCT 2016 while we continue to research the questions. Another amendment to the RFP and documents will be forthcoming following the Extension Amendment 0001. The additional reviews are the result of the potential addition and deletion of clauses. As a result, I have to get legal and clearance review prior to proceeding. Update: 27 Sept 2016 The Acquisition Team has received numerous questions concerning the extension date and when an amendment will be released. We are currently working the Amendment approval process and will provide an update as soon as possible. At this time I cannot provide an official date on the length of the extension. However, the Government will make every effort to be as fair as possible in the extension date based on the delay in getting the amendment out to industry. Update: 31 Aug 2016 To all potential Bidders: The Government has received a large number of questions and is making every effort to expeditiously work the responses. I am trying to finalize all responses this week, and provide one comprehensive update early next week. The Government will adjust the response deadline appropriately.
