Sasebo Solicitation 25R10 – Amendment 0001 is issued:

1. To Answer submitted questions

Q1. Attach 1_Sasebo PWS Rev120924   9.0 CONTRACT MINIMUM/MAXIMUM Paragraph states "The maximum shall be 125% of the estimated value of the contract." However, this statement is not clear. It would be appreciated if you could advise us on the maximum contract value, preferably in concrete figures.

A1. There is no maximum contract value – in concrete figures – to share at this time as this number will be calculated once the award value is determined. (The winning offeror’s price multiplied by 125%.)

Q2&3. Notice on SAM.GOV (vii) Paragraph states "The contract is anticipated to have a 30-month base period from October 2025 to November 2027". However, there seems to be an inconsistency between "30-month" and "October 2025 to November 2027", when calculating the number of months.

Paragraph states "a 30-month option period from November 2027 to May 2030". However, there seems to be an inconsistency between "30-month" and "November 2027 to May 2030", when calculating the number of months.

It would be appreciated if you could clarify this inconsistency.

A2&3. Apologies for the discrepancy in the posting for the base and option periods of performance. The periods of performance are estimated to be: Base: June 1, 2025 to November 23, 2027; Option: December 1, 2027 to May 31, 2030.

Q4. Attach 6_PPI Questionnaire　Page1; Page1 of Questionnaire requires 【Offeror Firm DUNS, however, it is our understanding that the DUNS Number has been removed from SAM.GOV and is no longer used. It would be appreciated if you could confirm and revise the Questionnaire, as necessary.

A4. Thank you for pointing out this oversight. The questionnaire has been updated to replace DUNs with EIN. See the new Attachment 6 dated 02/13/2025.

1. Extend the Solicitation response due date for one month from March 6, 2025, at 3:00PM EST, to Monday, April 7, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST.
2. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
3. Positive acknowledgement of this amendment should accompany submission package.
