This is Amendment No. 0002 to Solicitation 030ADV26Q0053 issued by the Library of Congress Contracts and Grants Directorate, effective March 23, 2026. The amendment updates Sections B and L of the solicitation to remove option year Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) and associated option year pricing requests, with changes highlighted in yellow. The amendment extends the deadline for revised submissions to March 25, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time.

The solicitation procures third-party maintenance support services for three base-year items: ITSO Server Support (CLIN 0001), PSN Server Support (CLIN 0002), and CISCO FC Switch Support (CLIN 0003). All items are firm-fixed-price contracts with a performance period beginning March 31, 2026, and ending March 30, 2027. Offerors must submit firm fixed pricing for each CLIN that includes all direct and indirect costs. Pricing is mandatory; partial pricing renders quotes unacceptable. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of the amendment and submit quotes via email to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist identified in Section G by the deadline. Quote submissions must include: support ticket management processes, status tracking procedures, support levels provided, and executed SF1449 forms acknowledging the solicitation and amendment. Offerors not requiring revised quotes may retain previously submitted base-year pricing if unchanged. SAM registration is required for contract eligibility.
