Amendment 0005

The following amendment of the solicita�on is provided:

The Contract Officer has discovered that correc�ve ac�on is necessary to ensure that this procurement is conducted fairly and in accordance with the applicable law. Pursuant to correc�ve ac�on, the Government is reopening the solicita�on and issuing a new deadline for submi�ng proposals. The deadline is 3:00PM CST on 6 November 2020 . Please submit proposals to:

shemeka.johnson-jenkins@gsa.gov and marsha.howard@gsa.gov prior to the deadline.

A proposal arriving �mely to at least one of the above stated email addresses will be considered �mely.

Proposals that were received �mely as instructed by the terms of the solicita�on in effect on September 21, 2020 will be evaluated unless the proposal is withdrawn by the vendor in wri�ng. If the Government receives a new proposal and the previously submi�ed proposal was not withdrawn, the Government will evaluate the newly received proposal and will not consider and will not evaluate the proposal received on or before September 21, 2020.

Please note that on September 21, 2020 (the previous deadline), most of the offers received were received with some unusual delay therefore any interested offerors should review the below informa�on carefully.

Please Be Advised When U�lizing Electronic Submission of Proposals:

Offers sent shall be deemed �mely if received by at least one of the email addresses of the GSA POCs listed herein on or before the date and �me established for receipt of offers, as recorded by the Government computer system’s documenta�on of the exact official �me of receipt, not by the �me it was sent by the Offeror or received by the GSA server. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure proposals are complete and submi�ed early enough to be received by the GSA Point of Contact before the deadline, and to confirm receipt before the deadline. Proposals or por�ons of proposals which are received by the GSA Point of Contact later than the �me noted within will not be accepted, reviewed, or considered.

NOTE: The maximum file size is 25 MB therefore contractors/offerors need to plan accordingly.

WARNING: Consistent with GAO case law on the issue of “late proposal,” GSA will strictly comply with and enforce FAR 52.215-1. Under FAR 52.215-1, an electronically submi�ed proposal that is received late will not be considered unless “(1) it is received before award is made, (2) the Contrac�ng Officer determines that accep�ng the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisi�on and (3) it was received at the ini�al point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals .” FAR 52.215-1 (c)(3)(ii)(A).
