About this file
This document is a Standard Form 30 Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract for solicitation number 47QSSC-25-R-3040N, issued by GSA, FAS, Facilities and Hardware SCM Contracting Division. Amendment 0003 clarifies several key aspects of the solicitation, including: (1) allowing part number corrections on the Contractor Response Document Spreadsheet (CRDS), (2) clarifying Hazmat requirements and regulations, (3) removing the "Damaged Goods" paragraph, (4) refining contract minimum and maximum headings, and (5) adding a data rights clause.
The amendment requires offerors to acknowledge receipt of the changes in block 15 on SF 33, with transmission to the specified Government email address. Critical modifications include revisions to Section A (Solicitation/Contract Form), Section C (Description/Specifications), Section D (Packaging and Marking), Section F (Deliveries), Section B (Supplies and Prices), and Section I (Contract Clauses). The most significant addition is the detailed 52.227-14 Rights In Data-General (May 2014) - Alternate II clause, which provides comprehensive definitions and guidelines for data rights, computer software, and related technical information. Failure to acknowledge and sign the amendment may result in the proposal being found not technically acceptable, though the closing date remains unchanged.

(e) of the clause from bringing a claim, in accordance with the Disputes clause of this contract, that may arise as the result of the Government removing or ignoring authorized markings on data delivered under this contract.
(f) Omitted or incorrect markings.(1) Data delivered to the Government without any restrictive markings shall be deemed to have been furnished with unlimited rights. The Government is not liable for the disclosure, use, or reproduction of such data.

If delivery of that data is required, the Contractor shall affix the following "Limited Rights Notice" to the data and the Government will treat the data, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (e) and (f) of this clause, in accordance with the notice:
