22. Solicitation posted 2/6/23 states, "Purpose of this Revision to the Solicitation W9124J-23-Q-0001 is to provide another version of the same Drawing, one that does require permission for access through the SAM.gov portal. Again, drawing has not changed but only the removal of the required permission for access to this drawing." The updated drawings are different from the previously issued drawings.
