Reference Section L - Instructions, Conditions &

Notices, Section 1.7

The solicitation was released on 18 February 2026 providing only 8 calendar days until proposal due date of 25 February 2026.

The solicitation also indicates that questions are due no later than 7 calendar days prior to the proposal due date, leaving offerors with only 1 day to review the solicitation and develop meaningful questions without a guarantee of a response as the the instructions state that for questions submitted within 7 Calendar days...that "offerors are not guaranteed a response"

Given the above statements and timelilnes,we assess there is insufficient time for offerors to (1) thoroughly review the solicitation, (2) develop and submit meaningful questions, (3) receive Government responses, and (4) incorporate those responses into their proposals.This timeline will materially affect the quality and responsiveness of proposals received.

We respectfully request that the Government extend the proposal due date by a minimum of 14 calendar days and allow additional

2 days time for offerors to review the solicitation and submit questions. This will allow adequate time for questions to be submitted, answered, and incorporated into proposals.

This extension would enable offerors to submit more accurate and responsive proposals benefitting the government.

The solicitation was originally posted on February 5, 2026 giving ample opportunity to ask questions prior to the question deadline. These questions and answers will be provided by an amended solicitation along with other changes. Due to the other changes an extension to the solicitation will be provided.
