In the Q&A dated 1 August 2025, Question 15’s answer stated that cutsheet 05b-CTS24-RF1-F30207 DLA New Furniture-2025tp079-NotOWF-rv1.pdf for clarification on the RF1 for the Reception Desk Refacing would be uploaded to Sam.gov.

51. On the July 29th update on CLIN 0015 of the solicitation 1449 cutsheet CR3 Credenza (small 36x24) is no longer reflective of the Statement of Work Matrix-

ANSWER: Current documents do match, CR3, CLIN 0015 in SOW and 1449 are all total of 4, please see attached.

52. As in the example of CLIN 0015 there are three sub-CLINS for Phase 1 – CLIN 0015AA (Qty 2), Phase 3

– CLIN 00015AC (Qty of 1), and Phase 5 – CLIN 0015AE (Qty 1). This is a total quantity of 4, instead of a total quantity of 8 that was noted in the SOW.

ANSWER: I have attached the SOW, 1449 and cutsheet available on SAM.gov since 29 July updates.

CLIN 15 is a total of 4 and is correctly marked on all sheets.

Note: CLIN 14 was updated and is now 8 and the SOW and 1449 reflect that change. Including a marked up cutsheet showing qty 8.

Phasing:

Phase 1 – qty 2 Phase 2 – qty 1 Phase 3 – qty 2 Phase 5 – qty 3 Total – qty 8

53. On the matrix in the SOW the total was increased, but none of the phase totals were.

ANSWER: There was some oversight by the customer when updating the SOW and the new totals. Please review the posted and attached solicitation for correct totals that do match totals in SOW. For proposal clarity the solicitation has the updates to phase totals that will guide you in your proposal by phases.

54. To further exemplify, specification CR-3 now has a new phase based on the floor plans that isn’t in the

1449 and part of the sub CLIN structure.

ANSWER: Please provide more detail for review, see question 52.
