Re: Draft Solicitation Inaccurate Government Estimates

On 3 Nov 2011, a revised draft solicitation was posted to FBO advising industry of the revised line item structure and ELINs. On the front page of the solicitation in block 24, an estimated contract award amount was inadvertently included. This block was filled in in error and the dollar figure listed in the block should in no way be confused as constituting a contract award amount, nor does it represent an accurate Government estimate of an award amount.

Notwithstanding our earlier inaccurate description of this amount as the “total estimated cost” in the July 2011 draft RFP, this number was strictly created as an estimated maximum to ensure the appropriate clauses and provisions are included in the solicitation document and we would advise offerors not to rely upon it for any purpose.
