7 Feb 2024

1. Reference: Question Responses to Question 19.

Comment: The response to question 19 stated that Freon removal would be incorporated into CLIN 0X01 however the Bid Schedule For Supplies or Services & Prices or Costs, page 3 of 42, does not reflect changes to include Freon removal requirements as part of CLIN 0X01.

Reference: SF 30, Block 14 Continuation Summary of Changes. The Summary indicates that CLIN0X02 for Freon removal had been modified to show a change in the required performance.

No changes were modified to CLIN 0X01 to include Freon Removal, etc.

Please clarify.

Government Response: Refer to attachment “Solicitation - FA301624R0009 (Conformed Copy to include all changes)” to view the changes to the solicitation in its entirety.
