The original solicitation was posted on December 12, 2025, with a firm submission deadline of January 5, 2026. All bids must be submitted exclusively through the online platform at https://bids.scispec.com/apps/Router/PublicEvent?CustomerOrg=UWisconsin. Bidders who have already submitted responses are required to re-certify and resubmit their bids through ShopUW+ to acknowledge this amendment.

The amendment emphasizes that vendors must provide clear, detailed descriptions of their operational capabilities and service delivery methods in their technical proposals. No pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding amounts are specified in this amendment document. Interested vendors should direct all questions to Thomas English at thomas.english@wisc.edu.
