SF 30 Amendment PA04 Solicitation 12639526Q0018 Rev.pdf

This is a Standard Form (SF) 30 Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract issued by USDA's Acquisition and Asset Management Division (AAMD), Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services (MRPBS). The amendment number is PA04 with an effective date of January 28, 2026, modifying solicitation 12639526Q0018 dated January 8, 2026.

The amendment serves exclusively to provide vendor questions and answers regarding the solicitation, along with referenced photographs. Key clarifications include: the existing conveyor located on the dock and in the baler room will be removed by USDA (contractor removal is not required); a garage door currently separates two existing conveyors with additional photographic documentation provided; the existing incline conveyor will not be modified; the new baler location maintains the same centerline drop point as the current baler with no wall penetration required; and a sample buster installed within the chute breaks continuous cotton samples using spinning spikes before material reaches the bale press. The amendment also announces an optional site visit scheduled for Monday, February 2, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CST at the USDA AMS Cotton & Tobacco facility in Memphis, Tennessee, with reference to Amendment PA03. Two photographs document the overhead door configuration viewed from both the dock and baler room perspectives. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.
