SCHEDULE OF CHANGES

SUMMARY OF CHANGES:

Since release of the official RFP on 31 July 19 there have been changes to policy and file exchange information systems outside the control of the Program Office and Industry that must be incorporated into the solicitation. The changes are administrative in nature and do not necessitate an extension to the proposal submission deadline. The changes are as follows:

1. Recent policy requires that all solicitations and awards released or yet to be awarded as of 13 August 2019, shall be amended/modified to include FAR provision 52.204-24, Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment and clause 52.204-25, Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment.

2. As of 15 August 2019 th Center (AMRDEC) Safe Access File Exchange (SAFE) is no longer available for use. Therefore, the solicitation, (Attachment 2, Attachment 5, and Attachment 8) have been amended to remove all mentions of AMRDEC and replaced with an alternate file sharing information system, ARL Secure Access File Exchange. ARL SAFE was provided in the original solicitation as an alternative, however with the removal of AMRDEC, it will now be the primary source for proposal submissions and file exchange.

As a result of the above, RFP FA8681-19-R-0007 has been amended to:

1. Update Section I: Incorporate FAR provision 52.204-24, Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment and FAR clause 52.204-25, Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment.

2. Update Section J: Incorporate updated Attachment 2, Attachment 5, and Attachment 8.
