This is a Questions and Answers amendment attachment for federal solicitation 140D0426Q0334. The document addresses clarifications regarding terminology consistency within the solicitation documents, specifically concerning the distinction between "fair market value" and "fair market rent" as they relate to an appraisal assignment.

Question 1 addressed whether language in the "Instructions to Offerors" section stating that "the appraisal report will be used to provide guidance to the National Park Service in establishing fair market value rent" should instead reference "fair market value" given that the Statement of Work identifies this as a fee simple appraisal assignment rather than a leasehold interest. The government confirmed this correction with a "YES" response. Question 2 addressed similar terminology consistency in the "Technical Qualification for Requirement" Section 2(a), which stated applicants must possess "the ability to evaluate the fair market rent for vacant desert property." The government again confirmed with a "YES" response that this language should be corrected to read "fair market value" to maintain consistency with the fee simple interest described in the SOW. These responses indicate that offerors should interpret all references throughout the solicitation to use "fair market value" terminology for the fee simple appraisal assignment involving vacant desert property for the National Park Service.
