The purpose of this amendment is to do the following:

1. Upload Federal Student Aid (FSA) responses to questions received pertaining to the Unified Servicing and Data Solution (USDS) solicitation. FSA has reviewed all questions relevant to proposal submissions and consolidated similar questions into a single question and answer to ensure consistency. Revised documents have had any highlighting from previous amendments removed. New changes are highlighted in yellow.

2. Amend Attachment 01 Business Operating Servicing Requirements to remove 14025.00 and

14026.00 under the USDS Model for TPD processing.

3. As part of the response to question #279 in Amendment 0003, FSA indicated that attachment 24011-Due Diligence Calls was removed from the solicitation. The intent of the change was to address the conflicting requirements noted in the question by removing the more prescriptive “Basic” Due Diligence Schedule outlined in the first tab of the attachment. By removing the entire attachment, FSA inadvertently removed the “At Risk” call schedule outlined in the second tab of the attachment. With Amendment 0004, the solicitation is amended to restore a revised version of the 24011-Due Diligence Calls attachment to the requirements and instead modify Business Requirement 24011.000 and this attachment to denote that the Basic Due Diligence schedule should align with CFR 682.411. The table within the 24011 attachment spreadsheet tab "Basic" as part of this revision is deleted. A revised version of the 24010-Pre-Repayment Contact attachment is also provided with Amendment 0004 replacing the previous version.

4. Amend the Business Operating Servicing Requirements to remove “Execution Request” from 5034.00, 5053.011, 26009.000, 33001.010, 33003.010 and replace with “through the change management process.”

5. Amend the Business Operating Servicing Requirements to add 18003.120.

6. Amend the Business Operating Servicing Requirements to remove 24012.00 and 24012.010.

7. Amend the solicitation to add zip file, 3002 Code Snippets and Brand Templates, to the Business

Operating Servicing Requirements Attachments and reference to the zip file in requirement 3002.060.

8. Amend Attachment 15 – Pricing Template, to update the Locality to Locality (City, State) under the Labor Category Worksheet and Initial Task Order worksheet and to update CLIN 10 Specialty Task - FFEL Guaranty Agency Rehabilitation Loan Purchases unit descriptions to “Quantity by Unit - per successful rehabilitation deal” under the Pricing Offer Template and Total Evaluated Price (TEP) worksheets

9. Amend the solicitation to revise the following sections:

a. Revise Section B’s description of CLIN 8, Specialty Task – Image Repository, to be based on the number of images supported and the description of CLIN 10 Specialty Task - FFEL Guaranty Agency Rehabilitation Loan Purchases to make the fixed price rate per “rehabilitation deal.”

b. Update Section I Contract Clauses to incorporate clause “52.219-4 Notice of Price Evaluation Preference for HUBZone Small Business Concerns (Sep 2021).”

c. Revise Part (2) (ii) of the Proposal Volume Requirements to update the language to include a requested offer expiration date of 240 calendar days.

d. The language in FSA term “FSA 39-4 Remedies for Contractor’s Violation of System Security Requirements” is replaced with new language.
