Amendment No. 0001 – Industry Questions Regarding Draft Solicitation Documents

The purpose of this amendment is to encourage industry review of the draft solicitation package and associated documents and to invite the submission of questions for Government consideration prior to release of the final solicitation.

The Government encourages interested parties to review the draft solicitation, Performance Work Statements (PWSs), attachments, exhibits, pricing workbook, and all associated acquisition documents provided with this pre-solicitation notice. Offerors are encouraged to identify and submit questions, ambiguities, inconsistencies, or areas requiring clarification utilizing the attached R5_OSIST RFP Q&A Template.

The Government anticipates issuing the official solicitation with an abbreviated proposal response period following release. Accordingly, interested parties are strongly encouraged to conduct a thorough review of all draft solicitation materials and submit questions during this pre-solicitation phase. Early submission of questions will assist prospective offerors in preparing responsive proposals and facilitate a more efficient solicitation process.

Questions shall be submitted electronically using the Government-provided Q&A Template no later than Tuesday, June 16, 2026. The Government reserves the right to consolidate, paraphrase, or otherwise group similar questions when preparing responses. Responses to questions may be incorporated into the final solicitation, issued through solicitation amendments, or otherwise addressed at the Government's discretion.

Submission of questions during this pre-solicitation period is voluntary and is intended solely to assist the Government in refining solicitation requirements prior to issuance of the formal solicitation.

All other terms and conditions of the pre-solicitation synopsis remain unchanged.
