Amendment 5 – January 15, 2024

The purpose of this amendment is to:

1. Provide clarifica�on to the following:

a. Ques�on for Clarifica�on:

i. “Sec�on G.8 LARC 52.245-90 PROVIDING EQUIPMENT TO CONTRACTORS (AUG 2021) states “Any exis�ng equipment items that reach the end of their useful life during the contract period, or which are beyond economical repair, shall be replaced by the Contractor, if the equipment is s�ll needed for contract performance.” We assume that equipment replacement would become Government property if replacement is needed, however, some of the pieces of equipment used in this contract costs several million dollars. Given the $25M ceiling of the contract and the fact that replacement equipment would likely cause the contract ceiling to need to be increased, will be Government please clarify this clause of the contract and how replacement equipment will be handled if applicable?”

b. Government Response:

i. “If any exis�ng equipment item listed in Exhibit D reaches the end of its useful life or which goes beyond economical repair during the contract period, that exis�ng equipment shall be replaced by the Contractor, if that exis�ng equipment is determined by the Government to s�ll be needed for contract performance. If that exis�ng equipment is deemed to be necessary in the performance of the contract, the Government will have discussions with the Contractor to derive a best value solu�on concerning that exis�ng equipment and before the purchase of the replacement equipment is made. If the Contractor uses government funding to purchase that replacement equipment, that replacement equipment would be deemed as government property at the end of the contract period and the contract ceiling will be adjusted to reflect the purchase of that replacement equipment.”

2. Acknowledge that the Government did not include a Standard Form (SF) 30 with Amendments 1 through 4 of this solicita�on.

3. Atach an SF-30 to encompass all changes for Amendments 1 through 5. Offerors are responsible to acknowledge receipt of this amendment and return the signed SF-30.

4. All other terms and condi�ons of this solicita�on remain the same.
