This memorandum provides an update on the Eastern Western Operational Communications Services solicitation. The government anticipates a realignment of workload data that will move requirements from the cost plus fixed fee contract line item to firm fixed price line items for the current year and all option years. As a result, the performance work statement, Section L and Section M of the solicitation may be adjusted slightly. The due date for proposals will be extended beyond November 22nd and posted in a forthcoming amendment. Offerors should consider the time needed to respond to any changed requirements as well as the upcoming holidays. The government intends to issue an amendment with further details later in the month through the Federal Business Opportunities website.

The related federal contract opportunity notice indicates that the solicitation number for the Eastern Western Operational Communications Services requirement has changed from FA2521-18-R0029 to FA2521-19-R-A018. All previous information on sources sought, draft requests for information, industry days, and pre-solicitation conferences can be found under the old number. Going forward, all new documents will be posted under the new solicitation number provided. Additionally, an updated draft request for proposals has been attached. This acquisition has been designated a total small business set-aside. The government anticipates releasing the final RFP around August 30th, 2019.
