TITLE: Offer Due Date/Local Time
QUESTION: Solicitation posted 8/20/2024 with a due date of 9/20/24. Given the scope and magnitude of the contract, both from a global set of requirements and dollar commitment, 30 days is not sufficient time. Also, the current contract was extended until June 13, 2025 (close to 9 months remaining).
REQUEST: Please extend the solicitation due date until December 9th. This will provide sufficient planning and proposal generation time. As of December 9th there will be over 6 months left on the remaining contract extension.
