| An extension of no less than two weeks is requested given the release and incorporation of the CBA into the solicitation. The release of the CBA, and its provisions, significantly impact the pricing and technical approach developed since the release of the solicitation. We are requesting the additional time to seek legal counsel to address the CBA, evaluate and adjust our approach to ensure a best value and compliant solution for the Government. Absent an extension, we believe the release and incorporation of the CBA will significantly and negatively impact the number of potential bids received by the Government and by extension the acquisition. Will the Government extend the response date? |
As a result of this amendment, the closing date is extended to 11 May 2017.
