DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION

The purpose of this amendment is to make the following changes: The time due for receipt of proposals has changed from 17:00 to 16:00 (4:00 pm). The date for receipt of proposals remains the same as September 15, 2008.

Page 50, paragraph h is changed from 120 calendar days to 180 calendar days which is the same as page 54, item #5.

Page 52, "Technical Relevance," change to "This portion of the proposal will reflect the offeror's understanding of the requirement and flexibility in approaching solutions (tabs 8 and 9)."

Paragraph h is added to "GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS," in section L. During the evaluation process, the contracting officer either will invite all or none of the offerors in the competitive range to make oral presentations. The government reserves the right to require an oral presentation by the offeror to clarify or verify proposal statements. These discussions will be tailored to each offeror's proposal, and will address, at a minimum, deficiencies, significant weaknesses, and adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not yet had an opportunity to respond.

The offeror will receive a minimum of a three business day notice prior to the requested time for presentation. The notice will include the items identified by the government for clarification/verification. The government reserves the right to require that key personnel proposed by the offeror attend the oral presentation. The offeror shall provide any and all equipment (PCs, overhead projectors, screens, etc.) required for the audience to view the presentation materials.

Notification of the location of the presentation and the number of hard copies of all presentation materials required will be provided at the time of notification/request for the oral presentation. Each offeror that is requested to present materials at an oral presentation shall be responsible for their costs. The offeror may not audio or video record their presentation.
