7 July 2026 - Purpose of Amendment 2

It has been brought to our attention that certain discrepancies exist within the Statement of Objectives (SOO) and the List of Materials which, if left unaddressed, could adversely affect both the requirement and the offers/quotations submitted by interested vendors.

We are proactively working to resolve these discrepancies and anticipate making the updated and corrected versions of the SOO and Bill of Materials available in the near future.

For this reason, Amendment 2 to the subject solicitation hereby extends the closing date FROM 7 July 2026 TO 16 July 2026. Once the new and definitive documents are available, they will be posted on SAM.gov through a subsequent — and hopefully final — amendment.

We thank you once again for your continued interest in this requirement and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
