SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The purpose of this amendment is for the Block 14 (Description of Amendment/Modification):

following:

1. ATC Maintenance Technician Clarification (Q&A):

Question: Requesting clarification regarding the ATC Maintenance Technician position. While this position is listed in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), it does not appear to be identified in the RFP's Statement of Work (SOW). Could you please confirm whether the ATC Maintenance Technician position is required under this solicitation and should be included in our proposed staffing and pricing?

Government Response: The Performance Work Statement (PWS) does not contain a requirement for maintenance services. While the ATC Maintenance Technician position remains listed in the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), there is no corresponding maintenance requirement under this solicitation. It is the responsibility of each offeror to propose a staffing mix, labor categories, and pricing structure that they deem necessary to successfully perform the requirements explicitly outlined in the PWS.

2. Incorporate CBA Amendment 2, dated 22 Oct 2026, between PATCO and TechWise, LLC. CBA Amendment 2 is incorporated as Attachment J16a titled "Collective Bargaining Agreement Amendment 2 between PATCO and TechWise". The file name of the new attachment is titled "J16a_CBA_Amend_2_PATCO-TechWise_22OCT2026".

3. Incorporate a revised Attachment J1, Performance Work Statement, dated 9 Nov 2026 as paragraphs C.5.4.3 and C5.4.4 were revised. The file name of the revised attachment is titled

"J01_ATC_PWS_FINAL_9NOV2026".

4. Revised paragraph L.6.1.3.4 of Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Products and Commercial Services, and paragraph M.2.1.1.4 of Addendum to 52.212-2 Evaluation

- Commercial Product and Commercial Services, to remove the 2-hour surge requirements as this requirement was removed from the PWS in Amendment 0001 and was mistakenly not removed from the addendums.

5. The proposal due date (Block 8 of the SF1449) has been extended from 11 Nov 2026 to 24 Nov 2026. Time remains unchanged.

Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Products and Commercial Services

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified from:

L.1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

L.1.0.1 This section provides general guidance, as well as specific instructions on format and content, for preparing proposals. The Offeror's proposal must include all information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to furnish a complete proposal, at the time of proposal submission, may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and may eliminate the Offeror from further consideration for award. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure the completeness of the proposal submitted. With respect to price proposals, the burden of proof for credibility rests with each Offeror. Evaluation of a proposal will be conducted solely on the basis of the information contained within it and the Government will not assume that an Offeror possesses any capabilities not specified. Inconsistencies among the parts of each proposal shall be explained. Any unexplained inconsistency may raise a fundamental question of the Offeror's understanding of the requirement and/or ability to perform. Offerors are advised that their proposals are presumed to represent their best efforts and must complete responses to this Request for Proposal (RFP).

Proposals that simply reiterate the contents of this RFP, or contain only superficial responses, may be considered unacceptable. Evidence of experience, capability, and qualifications that clearly demonstrate and support the Offeror's claims are essential. The absence of such evidence will adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal.

L.1.0.2 Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in Proposal Evaluation

L.1.0.2.1 Use of AI tools in Support of Evaluations: The Government may employ AI as a tool to assist in the analysis and review of offeror proposals. AI tools may be used to support tasks such as summarizing proposal content, identifying compliance with request for task order proposal / solicitation requirements, and highlighting areas of potential strength, weakness, or risk.

L.1.0.2.2 Maintaining Inherently Governmental Functions: Notwithstanding the use of AI tools to support the evaluation process, all final evaluation judgements, including the assignment or assessment of adjectival ratings, best value determinations, and source selection decisions, will be made exclusively by duly appointed Government personnel. The Government retains sole responsibility for all inherently governmental functions and will not delegate decision making authority to any AI tool.

L.1.0.2.3 Offeror Confidentiality and Data Protection: The AI tools utilized by the Government will be employed in a manner consistent with applicable regulations that govern the protection of proprietary and source selection sensitive information. The AI tool will be an output-only system.

Any generated report data is not saved. No proposal data will be transmitted to or processed by external, non-Government systems without appropriate safeguards and authorizations in place.

L.1.1 POINT OF CONTACT. All questions, concerns, or clarifications shall be addressed to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) listed below as the sole point of contact for this acquisition. All inquiries must be made in writing and submitted electronically to the Contract Specialist with a copy to the PCO. Offerors will receive a notice of receipt, but if they do not, it is their responsibility to follow up by contacting the addressees listed below. All questions, inquiries, concerns, or Any submissions clarifications must be submitted, in writing, no later than 7 October 2026.

received after this suspense date shall not be considered or answered, unless the Contracting Officer determines that the inquiry is of a material nature that fundamentally impacts the competitive process or requires an amendment to the solicitation.

L.1.2 PROPOSAL CLARITY. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements. The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the Offeror's capabilities or experience; and as such, the Government will base its evaluation solely on the information presented in its proposal and information obtained through sources identified in past performance paragraph L.7.2.2. The Offeror is reminded that the Government intends to award this contract based on the initial proposal, as received, without negotiation.

L.1.3 DISPOSITION OF PROPOSALS. In accordance with RFO FAR 4.309, the Government will retain the "original" copy of all proposals and supplemental documents provided. Unless the Offeror requests otherwise, at the completion of this acquisition the Government will destroy all extra copies of proposals and additional documents submitted.

L.5.1.4.4 Offerors are cautioned against submitting an offer that contains unbalanced pricing.

Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items (including base and option periods) is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques.

L.6.1 GENERAL. The purpose of the Technical Volume is to provide the Government the ability to evaluate the management and technical approach of the Offerors to perform the ATC requirements. The Offeror's Technical proposal shall be specific and complete. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. The Offeror's Technical proposal shall provide as specifically as possible the actual methodologies and system that will be used to accomplish/satisfy the ATC requirements. All the requirements specified in the RFP are mandatory. Through proposal submission, the Offeror represents that it will fulfill the requirements specified in the RFP;

therefore, it is not necessary or desirable for an Offeror to state this in the proposal. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with the Performance Work Statement (including referenced publications, technical data, etc.); statements paraphrasing the Performance Work Statement or parts thereof (including applicable publications, technical data, etc.); and phrases such as "standard procedures will be employed" or "well known techniques will be used," etc., will be considered unacceptable. The Technical Proposal shall not include cost/price information, classified information, or "Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)". Evaluation will be against the factor and/or subfactors as specified in Addendum to RFO FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services. For each planned subcontractor/teaming member, provide a brief description of the capability the subcontractor/teaming member will provide and/or work it will perform.

L.7.2 The Government will perform an evaluation of the offeror's past performance to assess the Government's confidence in the offeror's probability of successfully performing as proposed. Past Performance information described herein is required for the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform. In addition, the offeror shall detail the percentage of work performed by each subcontractor or partner based on the total proposed price. The offeror shall submit at least three (3) past performance projects along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter Attachment L1 Subcontractor Consent Form, executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

L.7.2.1 The offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The offeror SHALL NOT submit data for services occurring more than five (5) years before the issue date in Block 8 of the SF1449.

The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance. This volume has no page limit. Relevant efforts are defined as services/efforts that are the same as or similar to the effort (as compared to NAICS code 488111) required by the RFP. The offeror is required to submit past performance data on itself as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. If the offeror has no past performance data, then it must so state. If it is relying on the past performance data of a joint venture or teaming partner that must also be stated and evidence submitted showing that such a joint venture exists for the purposes of this acquisition. Data concerning the offeror shall be provided first, followed by each proposed major subcontractor, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners in alphabetical order. In the case of a joint venture, the prime offeror joint venture should demonstrate successful experience and past performance as that joint venture, as well as each member of the joint venture as applicable.

Failure to provide the past performance data/information requested can result in a proposal being determined to be noncompliant and may be eliminated from further consideration.

L.7.2.2 In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror's Past Performance Volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources.

Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the offerors. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection and receiving an unacceptable rating by the Government.

L.7.2.3 In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see RFO FAR 15.202(c)(1)). Therefore, the offeror will be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" will be considered "acceptable." All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received.

L.7.2.4 Submission Requirements. The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

L.7.2.4.1 Table of Contents and Glossary

L.7.2.4.2 describing the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming Summary Page partner, and/or joint venture partner for which the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets. Page limit is five (5) pages.

L.7.2.4.3 executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture Consent Letters partner, authorizing the release of past performance information so the offeror can respond to such information. A sample consent letter is attached as Attachment L1.

L.7.2.4.4 Client Authorization Letters for each identified effort for a commercial customer authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance. See document Attachment L1.

L.7.2.4.5 Organization Structure Change History - Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in the Past Performance Volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of the company.

As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts identified for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), the "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts identified and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

L.7.2.4.6 - Sheets in accordance with document Specific Relevant Contracts Reference Sheet Attachment L2, Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheet are limited to 5 pages per reference and a maximum of three (3) references total. The offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror's past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which are the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. The submittal shall include specific narrative explanation and rationale supporting objectives achieved and assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation. For any contracts that did not/do not meet original schedule or technical performance requirements, provide a brief explanation of the reason(s) for the shortcomings and any corrective action(s) taken to avoid recurrence. The offerors shall list each time the delivery schedule was revised and provide an explanation of why the revision was necessary. The offerors shall also provide a copy of any Cure Notices or Show Cause Letters received on each contract listed and a description of any corrective action implemented by the offeror or proposed subcontractor. The offerors shall indicate if any of the contracts listed were terminated and the type and reasons for the termination.

Additionally, provide a narrative describing any litigation activity (i.e. bond claims, liquidated damages, insurance actions, or claims related to project performance, etc.) that the Offeror has been, or is currently party to involving its subcontractors, customers or any Surety within the past five (5) years from date of solicitation issuance. The narrative should include the Parties involved, the magnitude of the Claim and the resolution.

L.7.2.4.7 - For the contracts identified Past Performance Questionnaire - (Attachments L3 and L4) on each Specific Relevant Contracts Sheet, the offeror shall forward a copy of the Past

Performance Questionnaire to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The points of contact shall return the questionnaires directly to the Contract Specialist identified in paragraph L.1.1 no later than the date specified in block 8 of the SF 1449.

Any questionnaires not returned directly to the Contracting Office will not be reviewed or evaluated. This includes questionnaires directly to the evaluations team and the COR will not be acceptable. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror's past performance. New entities formed for the purpose of proposing on this solicitation (joint venture, teaming partners, or mentor protege) that have no past performance history under that business arrangement are permitted to submit past performance information for the individual entities forming the arrangement.

L.7.2.4.8 Offerors shall provide a list of Past Performance Questionnaire recipients, to include points of contact and phone numbers.

L.7.3 Even though the assessment of Past Performance is separate and distinct from Determination of Responsibility required by RFO FAR Part 9, Past Performance Information contained herein may be used to support the Determination of Responsibility for successful offerors.

To:

L.1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

L.1.0.1 This section provides general guidance, as well as specific instructions on format and content, for preparing proposals. The Offeror's proposal must include all information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to furnish a complete proposal, at the time of proposal submission, may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and may eliminate the Offeror from further consideration for award. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure the completeness of the proposal submitted. With respect to price proposals, the burden of proof for credibility rests with each Offeror. Evaluation of a proposal will be conducted solely on the basis of the information contained within it and the Government will not assume that an Offeror possesses any capabilities not specified. Inconsistencies among the parts of each proposal shall be explained. Any unexplained inconsistency may raise a fundamental question of the Offeror's understanding of the requirement and/or ability to perform. Offerors are advised that their proposals are presumed to represent their best efforts and must complete responses to this Request for Proposal (RFP).

Proposals that simply reiterate the contents of this RFP, or contain only superficial responses, may be considered unacceptable. Evidence of experience, capability, and qualifications that clearly demonstrate and support the Offeror's claims are essential. The absence of such evidence will adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal.

L.1.0.2 Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in Proposal Evaluation

L.1.0.2.1 Use of AI tools in Support of Evaluations: The Government may employ AI as a tool to assist in the analysis and review of offeror proposals. AI tools may be used to support tasks such as summarizing proposal content, identifying compliance with request for task order proposal / solicitation requirements, and highlighting areas of potential strength, weakness, or risk.

L.1.0.2.2 Maintaining Inherently Governmental Functions: Notwithstanding the use of AI tools to support the evaluation process, all final evaluation judgements, including the assignment or assessment of adjectival ratings, best value determinations, and source selection decisions, will be made exclusively by duly appointed Government personnel. The Government retains sole responsibility for all inherently governmental functions and will not delegate decision making authority to any AI tool.

L.1.0.2.3 Offeror Confidentiality and Data Protection: The AI tools utilized by the Government will be employed in a manner consistent with applicable regulations that govern the protection of proprietary and source selection sensitive information. The AI tool will be an output-only system.

Any generated report data is not saved. No proposal data will be transmitted to or processed by external, non-Government systems without appropriate safeguards and authorizations in place.

L.1.2 PROPOSAL CLARITY. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements.
