Amendment 0002

CONTINUATION PAGES

A. The solicitation is amended to provide answers to questions submitted in response to the solicitation. This Amendment does not extend the due date for questions pertaining to the solicitation.

B. As a result of Paragraph A, the following is a question and answer:

Question: The requirement appears to limit the universe of potential offerors.

C. Section B.3, Acknowledgement of Amendments, is removed and replaced with the following:

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF AMENDMENTS: The offeror acknowledges receipt of amendments to the Solicitation numbered and dated as follows:
