See attached. Amendment 0006 (6 Dec 2019) The purpose of amendment 0006 is to provide notice this acquisition has been put on a long-term hold as the GSA requirement for these services is under review and may lead to cancellation of this solicitation if the requirement is no longer valid. The government regrets the need to disrupt this acquisition and the contracting officer wants to thank all parties interested or participating in this acquisition to this point for their time and effort. As soon as additional information is available, it will be posted. At this time, the proposal due date is extended to 31 March 2020 and the time remains at 2:00 PM EDT. This date is being used as a placeholder until the final decision is made to cancel this requirement or find the required need date for these services if the requirement remains valid. Amendment 0005 (19 Nov 2019) The purpose of amendment 0005 is to re-submit in beta.SAM the attachments from Amendment 0004, update the Question and Answer Sheet, and clarify the changes to be made in the Request for Proposal (RFP) based on the Questions and Answers. As with any new system, there have been some issues in the use of beta.SAM. There have been issues getting the links to the attachments to work, the attachments being difficult to open, the attachments not being assigned the right file extensions o they have to be manually matched to the a program to open, and only the most recent changes showing up in the description of the acquisition. To attempt to overcome some of these issues, amendment 0005 includes the full acquisition description from the beginning through all five amendments. It also re-attaches all of the files submitted as a part of amendment 0004 and includes a revised Questions and Answer sheet with 2 additional questions and a correction to the contract value listed in question 2. Lastly, amendment 0005 clarifies how updates to the RFP will be provided as a result of any answers that require a change to the RFP. All answers requiring a RFP change are highlighted in blue. These changes have not yet been made in the RFP yet as the government is waiting to finish answering all questions before sending out the updated RFP. Amendment 0004 (and 0005) were sent prior to completion of the answers to ensure all potential offerors were notified of the changes in the due date and the period of performance start date. The proposal due date does not change as a result of this amendment and remains 19 Dec 2019. Amendment 0004 (18 Nov 2019) The purpose of amendment 0004 is to extend the proposal due date from 21 Nov 2019 to 19 Dec 2019. The time remains at 2:00 PM EST. This change was made on page two of the solicitation and page one of the SF 1449; both are revised and included with this amendment. The government continues to work to resolve all of the issues related to the questions submitted and has included a list of the questions and answers resolved to date along with a listing of the questions still to be answered. The remaining questions will be answered and provided as soon as possible. Additionally, the Government is re-evaluating the requirement to ensure it properly reflects the required performance from the contractor. Based on this evaluation, the government may provide slight alterations to the requirement in a future amendment. Given the extended length it has taken to resolve the questions and the potential for change to the requirement, the government has not only extended the due date but is also changing the start date for this acquisition from 1 Feb 2019 to 1 Aug 2019. This amendment includes the following documents: - Amend 0004 revised 1 -- Solicitation FEI Facility Engineering, O&M, and Conference Support Services 2019-11-18 - Amend 0004 revised Exhibit 1 -- SF1449 FEI Facility Engineering, O&M, and Conference Support Services 2019-11-18 - Amend 0004 revised Exhibit 2 -- Electronic offer sheet FEI Facility Engineering, O&M, and Conference Support Services 2019-11-18 - Amend 0004 -- Q&A list FEI Facility Engineering, Operations and Maintenance, and Conference Support Services 2019-11-18 Amendment 0003 (25 Oct 2019) The purpose of amendment 0003 is to extend the proposal due date from 31 Oct 2019 to 21 Nov 2019. The time remains at 2:00 PM EST. This change was made on page two of the solicitation and page two of the SF 1449; both are revised and included with this amendment. This change will likely change the start of the performance period but that is not certain at this time and it is uncertain what would be the new start date; therefore, the period of performance remains with a 1 Feb 2020 start date at this time. Amendment 0002 (17 Oct 2019) It was identified several of the cells were cutoff in the "Questions submitted, received, and under review. The answers to these questions will be published as soon as they are available" section on Amendment 0001. Amendment 0001 (17 Oct 2019) The purpose of amendment 0001 is to make several administrative and corrective changes to all of the Request for Proposal documents. It also provides the pre-proposal conference and site visit slide presentations and the first round of questions and answers. This amendment identified unanswered questions that will be answered and published versus a second amendment. While the government recognizes there are still issues that must be addressed prior to proposals being submitted, the government also believes the information contained in this amendment is time critical and should be provided to vendors as soon as available rather than wait for additional information or answers to questions.
