The purpose of this amendment is to add the following Questions and Answers.

1) Question: Are you still going to do test plots with both pheromone products? This is how it was done in the past. What if some bidders are using Flakes and others using SPLAT? Which product will be used in the control plots? The proposal is very vague on test plots. Therefore, a bidder would have to have application equipment for both types of products. Is that correct?

Answer: The focus of the study plots will be to validate the efficacy of the pheromone product and applications. The study plots will be treated with the same pheromone product that will be used in the operational blocks. The study plots will also be used to conduct dosage tests and test any improvements to the pheromone product and aerial applications. A contractor is not required to apply both products in the study plots.

2) Question: What happens if the total projected cost comes in at more the 7.5 M for 5 years?

Answer: If for some reason the awardees

Total Evaluated Price exceeds $7.5M over 5 years, the award will still be issued with a contract maximum value of $7.5M. It is not expected that funding would allow for more than $7.5M to be expended on Task Orders over a 5-year period. If the Government determines after conclusion of

Year 4 of the contract that additional contract capacity above $7.5M would be needed to support year 5 of the contract, a new solicitation would be issued instead of exercising Option Year 4.

3) Offer due date remains at 14 Jan 2022, 11:59 PM ET.

Period of Performance: 02/15/2022 to 12/31/2022
