1. The purpose of this Amendment known as 36C10B20R00260004 is to provide Offerors with revisions relative to the National Local Exchange Carrier Services for the Enterprise Next Generation Voice and Data Services Solicitation due to minor errors identified therein.

1. As part of Amendment 0002, the Government revised Attachment C – Tech.xlsx by removing a column under the “Covered Yes or No” Tab; this removal resulted in “Column H” being re-designated as “Column G.” However, this re-designation of “Column H” to “Column G” was not updated in the “Instructions” Tab of Attachment C – Tech.xlsx and Section E.10 (Proposal Submission) of the Solicitation. Accordingly, this Amendment hereby revises the Attachment C – Tech.xlsx “Instructions” Tab and the Solicitation to properly replace all previous references to “Column H” with “Column G.”

1. In Attachment D – Price.xlsx, a formula error was identified. Accordingly, this Amendment hereby revises Attachment D – Price.xlsx to correct that error.

1. Please take special note of the following:

a. Attachment C – Tech.xlsx, dated 03192020 is hereby replaced with revised Attachment C – Tech.xlsx, dated 04232020, as attached hereto.

b. Attachment D – Price.xlsx, dated 03192020 is hereby replaced with revised Attachment D – Price.xlsx, dated 04232020, as attached hereto.

c. Section E. 10(2)(c)(i)(1) of the Solicitation is hereby revised as follows and as if fully set forth therein:

“Coverage: Using the drop-down selection menu in Column G of Attachment C –Tech.xlsx, the Offeror shall definitively state “yes” or “no” as to whether it can provide telecommunication services for the SDP specified, for each line item.”

1. In light of the foregoing amendments to the Solicitation, all Offerors are hereby required to re-submit the following revised .xlsx files, only, in order to be eligible for evaluation and consideration for award:

a. The Price Volume portion of its proposal utilizing the new Attachment D – Price.xlsx, dated 04232020; and

b. The Technical Volume portion of its proposal, only (i.e., the .xlsx file, not the pdf), using the new Attachment C – Tech.xlsx, dated 04232020.

1. PLEASE BE ADVISED that revised proposal submissions are strictly limited to new Attachment C – Tech.xlsx, dated 04232020 and new Attachment D – Price.xlsx, dated 04232020. Under no circumstances shall an Offeror revise and/or submit any other aspect of its proposal; this includes, but is certainly not limited to, any other portion of the Offeror’s respective Technical Factor proposal. PLEASE BE FURTHER ADVISED that any submission other than new Attachment C – Tech.xlsx, dated 04232020 and new Attachment D – Price.xlsx, dated 04232020 will be neither reviewed nor evaluated by the Government. FINALLY, PLEASE BE ADVISED that failure to resubmit new Attachment C – Tech.xlsx, dated 04232020 and new Attachment D – Price.xlsx, dated 04232020, only, may render you ineligible for award.

1. Each Offeror shall re-submit its Price proposal (i.e., new Attachment D – Price.xlsx, dated 04232020) and the Excel Workbook portion of its Technical Proposal (i.e., Attachment C – Tech.xlsx dated 04232020) by 5:00:00PM EST on May 8, 2020.

1. Please be reminded that, as set forth in the Solicitation, “Offerors are hereby advised that any Offeror-imposed terms and conditions and/or assumptions which deviate from the Government’s material terms and conditions established by the Solicitation, may render the Offeror’s proposal Unacceptable, and thus, ineligible for award. Please be guided accordingly.”

1. All other documents and attachments, to include any and all terms and conditions contained therein, remain unchanged.
