This addendum is to give notice of the following NIGP codes being added to the solicitation to help facilitate the requirement of the BEP goal. Language in F.5. has been amended to coincide with language from D.5.2. Vendors are instructed to read the entire package before attempting to complete the information required therein.

The agency has approved adding the following NIGP Codes to calculate the Business Enterprise Program Goal. Section C.9 has been revised in part to include the additional NIGP Codes and reflect a revised BEP Goal:
