The Government plans to charge a fee for the final solicitation based on the desired formats as follows: (1) floppy diskettes - $75.00; and (2) paper copy - $250.00. The charge for the final solicitation will be a onetime charge and will cover all costs associated with release of anticipated solicitation amendments.
