On page 5 it says the delivery date of the platform is Sept 29h 2020 which is 14 days after the offer is due onf Sept 15th. Is that a hard date?

This is a start date, which may be sooner if the contract is awarded sooner. This date is not saying that the end product has to be delivered by 29 September 2020 but that work has to be started by that date.

Could you please tell me if this is a new requirement, or if there is a current or previous contractor who has performed similar services? If available, can you please send along the incumbent contract or task order number?

This is a new requirement.
