No. Question Response 1 The due date for the SS response is specified as "Tuesday, July 18, 2025” (pg. 11). Should this instead say Friday, July 18, 2025?
Sources Sought notice has been corrected to read Friday, July 18, 2025.
2 Can you confirm the Sources Sought notice is accepting responses from organizations that are not necessarily looking to bid for the FFRDC, but rather to meet the Programmatic Elements in partnership with the final selected FFRDC?

A potential source is considered a "Single Source" unless it forms a teaming arrangement as such as:
