Question 2. We noticed you are not requiring HMS2 in the loci included. We also wanted to confirm the utilization of LEX33 rather than LEX3.

Answer 2. The required loci are listed correctly in the solicitation. LEX33 is required. HMS2 and

LEX3 are not required; those may be included if the quoter chooses but are not part of the requirements.

Question 3. What are the indirect costs are between the BLM and Texas A&M for the purpose of this solicitation?

Answer 3. Many universities that are part of a

'cooperative ecosystem studies unit' have negotiated allowable indirect rates of 17.5%. The

BLM is not in a position to inform quoters about allowable indirect costs for contract quotes.

b. Extend the Quote submittal deadline until

Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. EDT to accommodate for the federal holiday.

2. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
