QUESTION #DATE RECEIVEDPROSPECTIVE VENDOR'S QUESTIONDATE OF REPLYGOVERNMENT'S RESPONSEAMEND RFP?
320-Oct-25Due to the complexity of the PWS, and as the government-owned port has not yet communicated applicable tariffs nor confirmed whether and which services may be delivered by third-party suppliers, we believe that an extension of 2 weeks would allow us to submit a more comprehensive and complete proposal that fully aligns with the Solicitation’s requirements.28-Oct-25The Government will grant a 2 week extension.Yes
