The amendment formally updates technical specifications for CLIN 00200 and incorporates responses to Requests for Information (RFIs) for CLINs 00400 and 00500. For CLIN 00200, the boxcar flooring minimum load rating specification has been reduced from 50,000 pounds per square foot to 25,000 pounds per square foot in both the Statement of Work and the Task Order Request for Proposals. The amendment clarifies that CLIN 00400 (Safety Inspections) has a period of performance of one year (365 days) from task order award, while CLIN 00500 (Technical Field Support/Repairs) has a period of performance of six months from task order award. Invoices for CLINs 00400 and 00500 may be submitted incrementally upon completion of individual tasks following Government inspection and written acceptance, without requiring full completion of all fleet tasks prior to payment. The Phase II Proposal Due Date remains July 31, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Only prospective Prime Contract holders who successfully participated in the Phase I advisory down-select process are eligible to submit Phase II proposals. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of Amendment 0006 by completing and returning a copy of the SF-30 with Volume III (Price Proposal) or by explicit acknowledgment in the Phase II Proposal Cover Letter.

RAIL ROLLING STOCK MODERNIZATION & SUSTAINMENT (RMS) IDIQ

The purpose of this Amendment 0006 is to:

1. Formally update technical specifications in the Statement of Work (SOW) and Task Order Request for Proposals (TORFP) for CLIN 00200.

2. Incorporate official Responses to Requests for Information (RFIs) and clarify Periods of Performance and invoicing procedures for CLIN 00400 and CLIN 00500.

DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENTS / MODIFICATIONS

SECTION 1: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION AMENDMENTS (CLIN 00200)

1. CLIN 00200 Statement of Work (SOW), Section 2.9 "BOXCAR FLOORING", Item 2:

o REMOVED: "2. Floor Minimum Load Rating 50,000 pounds per square foot, (50K)."

o INSERTED: "2. Floor Minimum Load Rating 25,000 pounds per square foot, (25K)."

2. CLIN 00200 TORFP, Section 3.2 "Volume II: Phase II Technical Proposal", Factor 1

(Flooring Load Rating):

o REMOVED: "Detail the technical specifications of the 2-3/8 inch tongue and groove pine flooring applied by stud welding, proving it meets the minimum load rating of 50,000 lbs per square foot."

o INSERTED: "Detail the technical specifications of the 2-3/8 inch tongue and groove pine flooring applied by stud welding, proving it meets the minimum load rating of 25,000 lbs per square foot."

SECTION 2: RESPONSES TO REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION (RFIs)

Q23: In reference to CLIN 00400 and CLIN 00500, CLIN 00400 specifies that the period of performance is six months from the date of the task order award. CLIN 00500 specifies that the period of performance is one year from the award date. My question is whether payment will only be made when all tasks are completed. For CLIN 00400, up to one year? And for CLIN 0050, six months from the date of the award? Or are we able to invoice sooner? Such as when each location is completed or even monthly.

A23: Clarification on Periods of Performance: Please note that the Periods of Performance as established in the solicitation are:

• CLIN 00400 (Safety Inspections): One Year (365 Days) from date of task order award.

• CLIN 00500 (Technical Field Support/Repairs): Six (6) Months from date of task order award.

Invoicing Procedure: Invoices for CLIN 00400 and CLIN 00500 may be submitted incrementally upon completion of each individual task (i.e., following Government inspection and written acceptance of each inspection or repair per location, as applicable). Submission of invoices does not require full completion of all fleet tasks under the order prior to payment.

Q24: CLIN 00200: Both the Task Order and the SOW indicate 50k lb. floor rating. (Is this correct, or should the limit be 25K?)

A24: The floor minimum load rating specification has been amended from 50,000 lbs. (50K) to 25,000 lbs. (25K) per square foot. See Section 1 of this amendment for formal solicitation and SOW text changes.

SECTION 3: SOLICITATION TERMS & ACKNOWLEDGMENT

1. ELIGIBILITY REMINDER:

As established in Phase I of this solicitation, only prospective Prime Contract holders under the Rail Rolling Stock Modernization & Sustainment (RMS) IDIQ pool who successfully participated in the Phase I advisory down-select process are eligible to submit Phase II proposals.

2. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE:

The Phase II Proposal Due Date remains unchanged: July 31, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

3. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF AMENDMENT:

Offerors must acknowledge receipt of Amendment 0006 prior to the hour and date specified for proposal submission by completing and returning a copy of this SF-30 with Volume III (Price Proposal) or by explicit acknowledgment in the Phase II Proposal Cover Letter.
