• Description:
• The purpose of this solicitation amendment is to address questions received from industry prior to the Q&A deadline and to extend the solicitation closing date.
  During its market research, did the agency identify any SDVOSBs that develop, own, and/or operate the SaaS platform being solicited?

  The agency will not make any advance determination that an offeror will comply or fail to comply with the Limitations on Subcontracting. Compliance with FAR 52.219 14(e)(1...
