***AMENDMENT 1 TO THE COMBINED SOLICITATION/SYNOPSIS*** The release of the ASLON-45 Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (CS/S) on 23 April 2019 resulted in numerous questions from prospective offerors. The Government is providing its responses to these questions in hopes that it will assist offerors in the development of their ASLON-45 proposal. This is the release of Amendment 1 to the ASLON-45 Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (and supersedes the admin revision to CS/S posted to FBO on 2 May 2019). The following documents have changed as a result of these Questions & Answers (Q&A): CS/S, Provisions and Clauses, PWS/MRD, Offer Sheet, and CDRLs. Please note that the proposal Response Deadline has also been extended from 23 May 2019 to 6 June 2019. The Government has also provided additional details regarding the oral/visual presentation schedule. Offerors will be contacted following the proposal response deadline for oral/visual presentations tentatively scheduled to start the week of 17 June 2019. Please find a synopsis of the changes made within this amendment below. Changes are also highlighted within the applicable revised documents.
