Solicitation No. DTRT57-11-R-20009 Amendment A0002

Page - 2 - of 2

1) This amendment responds to a question received in regards to subject solicitation.

1Q. Page 72 of the RFP calls out the following:

(2) The following certifications are applicable as indicated by the Contracting Officer:

__ (i) 52.219-19, Small Business Concern Representation for the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program.

__ (ii) 52.219-21, Small Business Size Representation for Targeted Industry Categories Under the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program.

When I went to look up the two FAR clauses, they appear to have been removed from the HILL AFB website. The screen shot below shows that both clauses are now labeled as "Reserved'. When I queried the two clauses under GOOGLE, I came across the ORCA Release notes. The screen shot below states that two clauses were deleted from the ORCA site in January 2011. Will an amendment be contemplated to delete these two clauses since they appear to no longer exist?

1A. Yes, the following provisions listed on page 72 and 73 in Section K.2, FAR 52.204-8 ANNUAL REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS (JAN 2011), of the subject solicitation are hereby deleted:

__ (i) 52.219-19, Small Business Concern Representation for the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program.

__ (ii) 52.219-21, Small Business Size Representation for Targeted Industry Categories Under the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program.

The remainder of the language in Section K.2 remains unchanged.

2) Please acknowledge receipt of this amendment with the submission of your proposal.

3) All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged.
