CONTINUATION PAGE

RFQ Amendment 0005.

A) IMPORTANT! Per this Amendment 0005:

The Government has decided to shorten the length of the proposed contract from 5-years to 3-years.

The contract solicited will now be a Base Year plus 2 Option Years for a total of 3-years.

Considering global events, seen and unforeseen, and the difficulty of predicting the market four and five years from now, we are hoping this makes it easier for Offerors to provide pricing they could feel more confident about that are still fair for their firm.

Per this Amendment 0005, Offerors shall provide pricing for a Base Year plus 2 Option Years. If your firm is entering pricing on the SF 1449 RFQ Schedule, you need only enter pricing for the Base Year, Option Period 1 and Option Period 2.

Thank you.

B) 4th Set of Questions received from interested parties. The Question submitted to the VA is below. The answer from the VA is in RED font.

Note: We understand that having multiple Brand-Names puts you in a peculiar situation. We can’t allow different prices for different Brand-Names in this contract, nor can we promise to consider, or not consider, contract modifications for pricing changes down the road. We apologize for the trouble this may cause. Please just do your best. Thank you.

We thank you all for your questions and for your input from the field. We couldn’t do this without you.

There are no other changes to the solicitation at this time.

Reminder: This is Brand-Name Only and 100% Set-Aside for SDVOSBS.
