The purpose of Amendment 0001 is to advise candidates that they are not required to have a complete/active SAM registration at the time of offer submission, given the recent transition from DUNS numbers to Unique Entity IDs (UEIs). However, candidates should initiate the registration process immediately, as SAM registration must be complete (i.e., be in "Active" status) by the time of contract award, which is approximately 30 days after the offer submission deadline. MCC may remove a candidate from further consideration if they have not yet completed their registration at the time of contract award. Questions regarding SAM registration should be directed to the Federal Service Desk. --------------- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 and Subpart 13.5, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
