1. In the most recent amendment that came out for the subject solicitation, it was stated in the SF30 that there was a minor error in the Attachment D pricing volume. Several of our pricing team members have looked for this error and cannot locate it. Can you please advise what the error is so we can adjust? As stated, we cannot locate it and as of now our total evaluated number is unchanged.

A request was received requesting specificity regarding the pricing error identified in Attachment D - Price.xlsx 03192020, necessitating Amendment 0004. As stated in the Amendment, the error was formulaic in nature, and corrected by the Government accordingly. Please be advised that while the formula will not be released, Offerors were provided with a new pricing file (Attachment D - Price.xlsx 04232020) which must be completed in order to be evaluated and considered for award. Please be further advised that Offerors may or may not notice a change between their originally submitted and newly submitted pricing files as a result of the Government’s correction.
