Questions and Answers 36C78620B0010

1. Q. We’ve been following this solicitation from the very beginning and when its status changed to Solicitation the Notice ID changed and SAM.gov does not link the two even is the solicitation is changed. SAM.gov has MANY MANY critical errors and this is one of those many. It won’t update if the ID doesn’t match exactly which is probably why there were only a few RFI questions…nobody knew it was in Sol status. See below for details:

Below are the two results for the term “36C78620B0010” in SAM.gov: One is the

Presol that we’ve been following from the beginning and have even set up a search in case the follow fails to follow. We learned the hard way “Follow” doesn’t follow when it changes from Presol to Sol. The search we have set up didn’t pick up the Sol because when it was entered into SAM.gov it was entered with different Notice ID’s as “1” and “1A” was added into the end. See screen shot below the first screen shot to see this in the Notice ID’s. SAM.gov isn’t smart enough to link the two and we missed ALL updates except the RFI responses which were posted today. We received them because the Notice ID was entered as “36C78620B0010".

All that being said, we would like to respectfully request an extension on the due date and RFI questions because SAM.gov truly missed ALL updated because of system technical inabilities to track and update on Solicitations where they’ve been Followed AND set up as a Saved Search. It’s truly a system error on

SAM.gov’s programming.

1. A. The solicitation will be extended.

Note: Please search on the solicitation number and pick up all listings that start with that base number (36C78620B0010) to ensure you get all the listings.
