The above numbered solicitation is amended as set forth below. The hour and the date specified for receipt of proposals remains unchanged. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of the amendment prior to the hour and the date specified in the solicitation or as amended, by one of the following methods:

I. By acknowledging receipt of this amendment on each copy of the proposal submitted. Please note that this is the preferred method.

FAILURE OF YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO BE RECEIVED AT THE PLACE

DESIGNATED FOR THE RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS PRIOR TO THE HOUR AND

If by virtue of this amendment you desire to change a proposal already submitted, such change may be made by letter, provided each letter makes reference to the solicitation and this amendment, and is received prior to the opening hour and date specified.

The purpose of this amendment is to change the date of the tour of the TRIAD building.

This amendment revises the solicitation as stated below:

SECTION L, paragraph 1(d), TOUR OF THE GOVERNMENT FACILITY, located on page 57, is hereby modified to read as follows:

In performance of this contract, the Contractor may occupy the Government leased facility at the TRIAD building in Baltimore, Maryland. If an offeror plans to occupy this space, a tour will be given on November 9, 2015. All offerors planning to attend the tour must provide advance notification by November 2, 2015 to Deirdre Lyons and Lynn Furtaw at deirdre.lyons@nih.gov and lynn.furtaw@nih.gov. If there are any questions about this space, please submit them by October 27, 2015 to Deirdre Lyons and Lynn Furtaw at deirdre.lyons@nih.gov and lynn.furtaw@nih.gov.

Attendance of the tour is not a prerequisite for proposal submission and will not be considered a factor in proposal evaluation. This is not a pre-proposal conference and the acquisition will not be presented or discussed. This is simply an opportunity for offerors to view the space if they intend to occupy the Government leased facility for potential performance of the contract. If no offerors notify the Government of their desire to view the space, then the tour will not be given. Additional details regarding the time of the tour will be given to those offerors who notify the Government of their intent to attend the tour.

Additional questions regarding the space may be submitted after the tour. Questions and answers will be published in FedBizzOpps in an RFP amendment.
