This amendment revises the Statement of Work to remove the requirement for the contractor to provide load banks to attain the minimum load percentage of the generator nameplate rating. The requirement for the 4-hour Essential Electrical System (EES) outage test remains unchanged.

The revised Statement of Work is attached and supersedes all previous versions. This amendment is issued for clarification purposes and to allow offerors adequate time to revise quotations.

The solicitation closing date is hereby extended to Monday, February 2, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
