The addendum extends the proposal due date from the original deadline to August 17, 2026. The underlying RFP seeks a qualified vendor to provide U.S. Coast Guard-approved Marine Advanced Fire Fighting Training for cadets. The procurement requires a training organization with a minimum of five years of expertise and the ability to comply with U.S. Coast Guard regulations under 09-14. All terms and conditions of the original RFP remain in effect except as modified by this addendum, with this addendum controlling in the event of any conflicts.
